How long before your wedding day are you dying your hair?
I need a MAJOR root touch up, but I am 42 days away. I want it to look fresh but not 'WOW SHE JUST DYED HER HAIR'.
What do my LIW gals suggest?

I have an appointment for 10 days before my wedding. That is when my colorist said to come in.
10 days is what my girly girl told me as well...

Re: HAIR QUESTION...for those who dye...
I always dye my hair 10-14 days before an event. Sometimes during the first week my hair looks 'just dyed' and then after that it fades a bit until it looks great 2-3 weeks out, and then by week 4 I am pushing it and it starts to fade.

I did the dye job two days before my wedding and didnt wash my hair before the wedding. She said fresh clean hair doesnt hold curls as well.
Thank you for all the replies...
but here is my question..... I normally go two shades darker than my original color. It takes about 3 washings to get me not looking like Elvira. If I dye my hair one week before my wedding, and not wash it the day of (Our rehearsal dinner is the night before, starts at 7 and ends at 10:30, so it will have a good amount of product in it)...will my curls still hold? Will I not look like Elvira? I am just starting to freak out and the woman doing my hair is a family friend and has done my hair for years. I rather freak out with you ladies then infront of her!!!!!!!!!!!
What did she suggest??? I know dirty hair holds curls much better than clean but you dont want it so dirty it looks oily. Maybe do it 5 days before??
I'm not going for my trial until July 5th...I know talk about waiting until last minute!!! I trust her and know she'll do beautifully. I didn't want to ask her cause I'm afraid she is gonna laugh (only because she knows me) and call me a freaked out bride!!!
I am just concerned because dying your hairs dries it out, and we are talking early August which with my hair...means enough oil to re-grease a car. I want my hair to look fresh but not Elvira and my curls to hold like curly Sue!!!
Ahhh...what is a bride to do!!!!!
dont worry too much about it drying out they can still work with it.
My hair didnt look bad when i wore it down but the night before my wedding when i pulled my bangs back to see how it would look, my roots were HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was freaking out, so i dyed my hair that morning, i just did it with toner to lighten the roots and worked perfect, so i dyed my hair 30 mins before they showed up to my house to start doing my hair and was fine
