- Shampoo and Conditioner
Directions
- The first step you need to concentrate on is picking the right hair dye for your hair. If you are coloring your hair for the first time, make sure you choose something related to your original hair color, as a drastic change in the color is not advisable. If you are going to dye your hair blonde, you need to be more careful with your decision.
- Wear gloves and cover your neck area with a towel. Make sure you cover the back of your neck properly as you might accidentally color your neck as well. You can wear an old piece of clothing which can be discarded after the dyeing process is over.
- Use some petroleum jelly on the outline as well, to keep your skin from staining. This is usually a better option than covering yourself with towels, as the color can stain fabric as well. So make sure you apply jelly where the towel is not reachable.
- Now, to start dyeing the hair, add the dye and other ingredients to the plastic bowls, and mix well. Then, with the help of combs and hair clips, make sections of your hair such as left, right, top and back and clip them together. For better adhering of the hair color, you can color your hair with Kool Aid, in the unsweetened form. Make sure you read the instructions on the packet carefully.
- Gradually remove the clip from each required section and dye each carefully. While dyeing, follow a pattern, from the deep roots to the ends.
- After coloring each section, you should not disturb the color for a particular duration of time, so cover each section with foil and clip it together. Now, wipe off the excess dye on your neck and forehead with a wet towel and wait for the required time.
- Wash your hair with warm water and shampoo. Rinse it more than twice to remove any extra color. Apply conditioner and let it set for 5 minutes, and then rinse it another two times. Let the hair dry naturally, avoid exposing it to sunlight for a day, and then wash it again the next day.
