Hair Coloring Tips At Home

Getting your hair colored at a salon can be expensive. Home hair coloring kits have really improved over the years and now it is easier than ever to dye your hair at home. Even if you make a mistake you can always go to a salon to get it fixed. Here are some good tips for at home hair coloring I found in Woman’s Day magazine. I did try the chapstick around the face and it really did keep the dye from soaking into my skin.
Old t-shirt – Wear one
Trash bags – Line the bathroom floor with a garbage bag in case of drips or spills.
Baby toothbrush - If the applicator bottle gets messy you can use one to gently stroke color onto fine hairs around your face.
Chapstick - Swipe it around your hairline before you begin to prevent forehead stains. The stick makes it super easy to apply.
Kitchen sponge - Hair color can be thick and goopy, but a damp porous sponge helps distribute color evenly.
Sweet n low packets – If your scalp gets itchy, throw in the color and shake it up. Colorists swear by this to lessen irritation but it has to be that brand Splenda or it won’t work.
How to Fix dye damage
Too Dark - Wash with a clarifying shampoo – it lifts away dirt and oil, so it can help lift color. Or mix equal parts clear shampoo and peroxide; shake in applicator bottle, apply and leave on hair 3-5 minutes to lighten slightly.
Too light – Go up one shade darker than your original formula. Pour half of the dye out and fill with water (to lower the volume of peroxide) Apply to hair and leave on for no more than five minutes. General rule: Only two processes in a day max.
Stained forehead - Traditional hair color removers can be harsh on sensitive skin. Instead, swipe on an astringent like good old Sea Breeze to take off color.
Once you get your color done you want it to last. Want to know how to save your color without buying expensive products? See our companion post Cheap Ways to Keep Hair Color from Fading
