Dying Your Hair
August 27, 2009
So you’re getting tired of the look of your hair and think you’d look better with an entirely different color. Or maybe, you’re an old pro when it comes to dying hair.
Whatever the case, you’ve decided to dye your hair on your own at home to save a couple of dollars. Whether you’re experienced or not, here are a few rules that you need to follow to safely dye your hair at home and get salon quality results.
Step One
The first step is selecting a hair color that is desirable. Maybe it is just a touch-up of your existing color, or you’re coloring your grays, or maybe you’re looking for an entirely new look. Have fun finding the new you!
Step Two
Once you have selected your color you will begin the process by first mixing the dye.
Step Three
Now that the dye is mixed in the plastic application container that is typically supplied, you can begin to cover your hair with the hair dye. The trick doing this correctly is to cover every inch of hair so that the result will be even, not streaked.
Step Four
After you have applied the hair dye to your entire head, you can grab yourself a magazine or book and get comfortable in a chair. Most store bought hair dyes take about 20-30 minutes to set into the hair. So don’t rush it.
Step Five
When your wait time is up, wash your hair out in the shower with shampoo first. When the water passes through your hair it will push out the excess dye. Wash your hair until the water becomes clear.
Follow this up with applying the conditioner that usually comes in the hair dye box. This conditioner will soften your hair and help the color set.
Step Six
Refrain from styling your hair immediately with excessive heat. Instead, let it dry on its own.
Step Seven
If you wash your hair every day, you can go ahead and wash it the next day after dying it. You can condition it too. Just let the conditioner set for a few minutes before washing it out.
Each time you wash your hair thereafter, let the conditioner stay in your hair for a few minutes before rinsing. This will keep your hair soft and hydrated.
Additional Advice
Try washing your hair with vinegar immediately after dying it. It will help keep the color in longer. When you are mixing the hair dye and activator, measure everything out according to the directions on the box.
Before you dye your hair, prep your skin by applying Vaseline around your hairline and ears so that the dye won’t bleed into your skin.
