The biggest mistake women make is under-estimating their natural hair color. In my experience, most women think their hair is lighter than it actually is. When this fatal mistake is made, the wrong shade is selected, which inevitably leads to disappointing final color results.

Second biggest mistake: running out of product. Make sure you have enough to color your entire head. If your hair is shoulder length, chances are you need 2 bottles of coloring product.
