Mix The Color with Developer
Put gloves on your hands before shade hair to prevent it from dyeing on your hand and take a bowl and read the instructions of ingredients then put the ratio of color according to the instructions given in the box.
Then take the developer which is generally given in the color box and if it is not given buy it separately from any store. Stir it until all gradients mix with each other.
Brush your Hair
Take an ordinary hair brush and brush your hair before shade. Make sure that your hair are free from tangles. This step readies your hair for dyeing more easily and you can apply the paste to every part of your hair.
Cover Your Shoulder and Clothes
Before shade hair make sure that each and every thing in your surrounding is covered and safe. Take a towel and cover your shoulder and clothes. You can use a color cape which is easy to wear.
Coat hairline, Ear and Neck
During applying dye to your hair there are a large number of chances that it may get to your skin in the surrounding area. To avoid this issue you can use Vaseline, balm or conditioner (provided along the color box) to your hairline, ear and some neck portion.
Mustard oil is also useful in such cases but Vaseline is best and easy to remove after completing the process.
Make 4 Sections of Hair
By making sections you can easily shade hair, apply the paste of color to every part of your hair and you don’t miss any patch of hair. Use a large plastic clip and divide your hair into four different sections. You can also use pins for holding each section.
Apply the Color to each Section
Now select a section from the bottom portion and divide this section in more subsections and apply the color directly to your hair with an applicator or a comb. If you are dyeing for the first time then apply the color 3 to 4 inches above from the roots and in ordinary case you can apply directly to the roots of hair.
You can also use your gloved fingers in applying color. If one section is completed then take another one and repeat the similar process on the remaining three sections.
Set a Time Limit
After completing each section read the instruction provided on the box and set a timer. Keep in mind that don’t rinse after a very short interval or don’t exceed the maximum time limit. Also never leave dye hair overnight because this will dry your hair or it may damage your hairline and it may cause skin irritation.
Rinse Hair
When times up then wash your hair or take a shower. Use warm water and rinse the dye from your hair until the water gets clear. Keep in mind that the dye is temporary and if you don’t use it continuously you will get your real hair color after a couple of months.
