How to Color Your Hair

Taking good care of your hair isn’t rocket science! It is a simple phenomenon that involves patience and faith. The same goes with choosing the right hair color. The fundamentals of hair coloring requires you to stick to shades that compliment your skin tone, figure out if your tresses look better with highlights and then decide if you can do it all by yourself. The trick is to select colors that you are naturally drawn to. Remember that hair colors enhance your look, boost your self confidence and allow you to carry yourself gracefully. Eye color plays a big role in determining what hair tone you should get. Several precautionary measures need to be taken before going in for a coloring session such as wearing hand gloves for protection.

Before applying dye to hair, coat your hairline, ears or where-ever the dye is exposed to with Vaseline or a lip balm, this prevents staining!Mix the dye together.

Apply the dye to your hair in sections ie. left side, right side, top, back, etc. Be sure to coat all your hair so that it doesn’t come out streaky. Work the dye in well so that you do more than simply color the top layer of your hair.

Care for your hair after coloring it. When you are rinsing your hair in the shower, do not shampoo your hair. Use the conditioner included in the box. Wait 24 hours after coloring your hair before you shampoo. Purchase a sulfate-free shampoo, as sulfate strips the hair color. You can also use a color-depositing shampoo to brighten the color. If you liked the color and product brand, cut off the top flap of the box and keep it where you store your beauty products.
