Washing your hair before a color appointment can help the dye absorb evenly, but it isn’t always necessary. If you have a healthy scalp and your stylist hasn’t given specific instructions, a gentle wash 24–48 hours ahead is usually fine.

The right approach depends on the species, the indoor environment, and the plant’s current growth rate.
