Tips To Professionally Dye Your Hair At Home

Social distancing makes it difficult for you to get your hair done at salons. But nothing is impossible, you can still take care of your hair at home professionally. Don’t be afraid to dye your hair at home if you want a new hair color. Let’s take a look at some tips below to help you dye your hair professionally!

Allergy test

If this is your first time dying your hair at home or using a new dye that you’ve never tried before, it’s especially important to get an allergy test first. The test is very simple, about 24 hours before dying, apply a little dye to hard-to-see areas like the inside of your wrist. If you feel itchy or have a rash or redness, stop using the dye. If you continue to use it on your scalp, the consequences will get worse.

Color test

To make sure your hair color is exactly what you want, try it before you dye it. Use a little dye and test dye on a small section of hair. This test not only helps you see the color of dyed hair after 24 hours but also helps you estimate how long it will take to wash your hair after applying the dye. You should follow the instructions on the box closely, but because each person’s hair texture is different, if your hair is thin, you can shorten the waiting time by 5-10 minutes compared to the instructions.

Do not wash your hair

You should not wash your hair two days before dying your hair when dying your hair at home. The natural oils on the scalp will protect and avoid irritating your scalp before dying. How does hair color spread all over your hair? Remember to brush your hair straight, and remove all tangles before dyeing. Divide your hair into 4 equal parts and then start dying. It would help to begin dyeing from the top of the hair first (from the top of the head to the ears). Because this is the part that takes the most dye and takes the longest to color. Then use a comb to spread the dye evenly from the top to the ends.

Keep your forehead and ears clean

To make sure the dye doesn’t get on your ears and forehead, Vaseline is a great help for you when dyeing. You can apply a little Vaseline to the hairline on the forehead and ears before dying. Because dyes often stick to the skin and won’t be easy to clean. When dyeing, remember to wear gloves and use a hood while incubating your hair to prevent the dye from getting on your hands and clothes.
