Tint

Some women are forced to pay large sums of money to dye their hair in salons, and they may have to do this more than once in a few months, so it is useful for the woman to learn how to dye her hair herself at home, then she will save time and money, and the following is how to dye hair at home in steps Simple and easy.

Hair dyeing steps

Before dyeing

  • Wash your hair twenty-four to twenty-eight hours before dyeing. This will give the hair’s natural oils the opportunity to leave the head, and thus the dye will adhere to the hair more easily and remain that way for a longer period.
  • Avoid using conditioner when washing your hair before dyeing, because conditioner removes natural oils from the hair.
  • If your hair is very dry, use conditioner every night with a hot bath, a week before dyeing your hair, and refrain from using conditioner the night before dyeing, as this will keep your hair from drying out after using the dye.
  • Choose the color that you like, and if this is the first time you try dyeing, choose a color that is two shades lighter or darker than your hair color so that you are not surprised by the color, and if you are hesitant about the color, you can use temporary dye, and if you do not like it, you can get rid of it quickly after six to three times. Twelve shampoo washes, or use semi-permanent dye on your wet hair and it disappears after twenty to twenty-six washes, while permanent dye lasts for six to eight weeks or more.
  • Protect your home and belongings from staining with dye. You want to dye your hair, not your carpet or clothes, so cover the surrounding area with newspapers, keep a tissue near you to remove any new stains, and wear old clothes that you do not want when dyeing.
  • Place a dyeing towel or robe over your shoulders.
  • Comb your hair well to remove any knots, so that the dye is distributed over all the strands. You can grease your ears and neck with Vaseline to make it easier for you to remove the dye from these parts.
  • Wear gloves before dyeing your hair.
  • Follow the instructions mentioned on the dye package carefully.

Tint

  • Use a comb to separate hair strands into four sections, and use a hair clip used in salons, thus ensuring that no strand is left without dye.
  • Start dyeing one section after another, by dividing each section into strands half an inch thick, to ensure that an appropriate amount of dye reaches each strand. You can use your fingers to distribute the dye well over the strands.
  • If this is your first time dyeing your hair, apply the dye one inch from the roots, but if you have dyed your hair before, start from half an inch from the roots, and continue to the ends of the hair.
  • Set the clock for the specified waiting period according to the instructions mentioned on the dye package, so that it does not exceed or subtract from this required period.
  • Do not leave the dye overnight, as this will cause dry hair and scalp irritation.

Washing hair of dye

  • Wipe the excess dye from your neck, ears, and the front of your head, without touching the dye on your hair.
  • You can wear a shower cap to give your hair heat to speed up the dyeing process.
  • Wash your hair with hot water after the waiting period is over, and wait to see that the water becomes clean and colorless.
  • Wash the hair with shampoo and conditioner, but it is preferable to wait at least an hour before that so that the color adheres more to the hair.
  • Dry your hair and style it as you like.
