test

: I think there isn't enough in a strand test to get a good look at.
A hairbrush test is better anyway for any dye job, even with
chemical dyes (Ah! She speaks heresy!) since 1) you don't have to
keep a section of hair away from the other hair and 2) you don't
have this random lock of weird if you don't like the color.
I have another suggestion if you don't want to wait to collect
enough hair on your brush or you're like me and your hair is too
short to collect: Cut off a lock of your hair. And of course,
choose a section that was too long anyway or otherwise unnoticeable.
