First-timer
A lot of women jump into hair dye with both feet and are left with no option but to wait for the embarrassing results to grow out. If you're dying your hair for the first time, it's safer to start with a semi permanent color which will wash out after a few washes.
Home dyeing preparation
Home hair dye kits are very easy to use, but you should still take care to keep the dye on your hair and your hair only. Always wear gloves when dying your hair and wrap an old towel around your shoulders. You should also smear a little Vaseline around your hairline to prevent changing your skin color.
Hiding Grey Hair
If your hair is less than 20% grey, it's best to use a semi-permanent color that is one shade lighter than your natural color to allow the grey to blend right in. If your hair is more grey, permanent dye is the only way to completely cover the unwanted colour. But remember, looking subtle is the key. Jet black, brilliant blonde or any other solid colour can look very unnatural on women of a certain age.
Fixing mistakes
If you're not happy with your new hair color, go to your hairdressers where they have a variety of techniques to fix color oops.
Post-color treatment is very important. In order to preserve the effort you have made, use the right products on your new hair color. Use a color-enhancing or color-lock shampoo and conditioner which deposits tiny amounts of color onto your hair, therefore making you look great for longer.

Root Touch-up
Hair color should last up to 2 months before your roots begin to show. Instead of dyeing the whole thing again, just touch-up the roots with one of the on-the-counter home kits.

As safety precaution, pregnant women should refrain from dyeing their hair esp in the first trimester to reduce risk of fetal defect. http://www.hsbc.com.hk/1/2/hk/insurance/healthnet/archive/s0811-1
