Roger: No problem. There are two main types of hair dyes: permanent and semi-permanent. Permanent dyes last a long time, while semi-permanent dyes fade after a few washes. You can choose the type that suits your preference.
羅傑：沒問題。染劑主要有兩種：永久性染劑和半永久性染劑。永久性染劑能持續很長一段時間，而半永久性染劑洗過幾次頭髮後就會褪色。你可以選擇你喜歡的種類。

Roger: When buying hair dye, look for approved products with clear labels. Also, make sure your scalp and hair are healthy before dyeing. If you have any wounds on your scalp, it’s best to wait until they heal.
羅傑：購買染髮劑時，要找有認證和標示清楚的產品。而且，在染髮前，要確保你的頭皮和頭髮是健康的。如果你的頭皮有任何傷口，最好等痊癒後再染髮。

Tina: Got it. Anything else I should know?
蒂娜：明白了。還有其他需要注意的事情嗎？
Roger: It’s important to read and follow the instructions that come with the hair dye. Apply it correctly and avoid direct contact with your scalp. And remember not to rub the dye into your hair. After dyeing, pay attention to your skin’s condition. It’s recommended to wait at least three months before dyeing your hair again.
羅傑：一定要閱讀並按照染髮劑附上的說明書。正確地塗上染劑，並避免直接接觸頭皮。而且切記不要將染劑搓揉進頭髮裡。染髮後，要留意皮膚的狀況。建議至少等三個月才能再次染髮。
