With the recent announcement of the GCQ implementation comes the news that salons and barbershops are allowed to operate at 30 percent capacity while abiding by strict health protocols. A lot may rejoice at finally getting the chance to have their DIY quarantine cut and color fixed, but some people are still wary, and for good reason, too. If you want to lessen contact with others as much as possible, you can turn to box dye and DIY your hair color makeover.
Box hair dyes now are a far cry from your grandma's color kit that only comes in black or brown. There are now tons of warm- and cool-toned hues you can choose from! You should, however, proceed with caution and make sure to read and follow the instructions to avoid any fails. That said, we round up our top picks to help your DIY journey:
