  when preparing the coloring mixture;
• wrong paint exposure time
  (insufficient or excessive);
• lack of consideration of the original color (what color,
  shade have dyed hair; how long have they been painted);
• improper application of the blend
  (uneven distribution, especially when staining on
  the back of the head);
• use of poor-quality dye.

What to do in case of failure?

1. With uneven staining strands – reapply
   dye only on uncolored strands.

   make toning ashen or silver
   shades of tinting paint. Another variant –
   self-tint your hair with fine shampoo or
   balm.

   length in its natural color (shade as close as possible
   to the color of the roots).
