Eight tips before dyeing your hair at home

 

 

 

 Most stylists recommend avoiding coloring your hair at home, even though that advice is just not feasible. Before bleaching or dyeing your hair at home, there are some things you should know to do it safely and end up appreciating the result.

 

 

Choose to use coloring and a style

 

Decide on a style before buying any products. Are you bleaching your hair in the front? Is your hair black enough to be colored purple? Do you want to change your entire hairstyle and keep it before your roots would seem? These are the questions to answer first to reduce the chance of hating the end outcome.

Patch Checking

 

A patch test is always needed, whether the final result is toning resulting in a beautiful honey blonde or a bright blue. This test will indicate if you're allergic to the products, which really is essential because you don't want to use a product without first testing it on yourself for the risk of developing a rash.

Mix a pea-sized amount of dye or toner in the appropriate way. Dab it behind your ear with a cotton swab and leave it on for 24 to 48 hours without washing it off; the product should include instructions on how long to leave it on specifically. If the skin doesn't react after the given time period, the product is safe to use.

 

 

Purchase extra dye

 

When you've tested your dye or toner, try to buy extra dye. You may think you only need one, but even after you're halfway through the process, the realization that you require more than one may come at an inconvenient time. No one loves to hurry to the nearest beauty supply store with hair dye and a shower cap, so prepare in advance.

Need not open both boxes unless the second is needed. This will only destroy the leftover product. Instead, save the second one for tweaking.

 

 

Save your skin

 

Buy petroleum jelly or Vaseline of using along your hairline. It will act as a barrier and protect the skin from the dye, preventing pigment from spreading on your face. When coloring eyebrows, using petroleum jelly is another excellent technique. For a shape and appearance, merely delicately apply the jelly around each brow.

 

List of purchases

 

The application brush should be the first thing on your shopping list. Get two brushes if your plan to be using bleach or a different colored dye.

Have a color-safe or plastic bowl. Because some hair dye formulas react badly with metal, you should never use metal bowls.

Gloves are needed to avoid bleach burns, which occur when the bleach begins to eat away at your skin or when using toners and other dyes that stain your hands.

 

Strand examinations are required

 

It may look like there are too many preliminary tests when doing your hair, but they are required to ensure sure your hair stays attractive and healthy. While using bleach, conduct a strand test on a small section of hair, usually less than half an inch from the underside of your hair. To determine the current state of the hair, apply the bleach and let it process. This minor but critical step will influence how well your hairstyle will lift. If you've already colored your hair, it may melt due to a chemical reaction or develop an unusual color.

 

dividing a person's hair

 

Most people believe they can begin bleaching or coloring their hair straight away by slathering on the pigment. This technique will be ineffective because it may lead in uneven bleach or patchy color of your hair. The hair is also likely entangled from incorrect sectioning. The stronger the hair is the less it is pulled after chemical treatment.

Make at least four sections in the hair, two at the top and two at the bottom, to section it. Depending on the size and thickness of your hair, you will have to section it.

Many people are scared to dye their hair because it could be a drastic change, but if you research, it can look beautiful. This could look daunting because of the numerous steps and chemicals, but it is also entertaining and a great way to express oneself.
