New to haircoloring?

Question

Hi I wanted to know if using a styrofoam bowl to mix the contents is okay (developer, powder)...isn't that a plastic? Thanks =)

Answer 1

Styrofoam can actually be a problem because the developer can eat right through it.  I'm afraid I did this once, with Feria haircolouring. What a mess.

Answer 2

I'm guessing a styrofoam bowl would fine but the best thing to mix hair color in is glass. I use an old glass measuring cup that I don't use for cooking anymore.

Answer 3

Probably okay.  The WORST thing is to use metal or stir with metal - it causes some kind of chemical reaction that ruins the dye.
