For many women, hair dyeing is an important part of their beauty routine. However, it’s also something to be taken seriously since improperly dyeing your hair can result in damaged hair, stained skin and costly trips to the salon to try to fix the problem. Here are some basic steps you can take to ensure that dyeing your hair at home will be as safe as possible.
In order to get the best results, you’ll need to do a strand test. This will help make sure that your hair is able to tolerate the colour before you dye it all over. To do a strand test, take a small lock of your hair and apply the hair dye directly onto it. Leave it on for about 15 minutes before washing it out and looking at the results in a mirror. If there are no negative reactions like redness or breakage, then you should be good to go.
Before you start, make sure your hair is healthy and clean. The better it looks, the better the colour will look on you. You’ll also need a bottle of hair dye, gloves, baking soda, shampoo, and water.
1) Mix the dye with water in a plastic container. Start with a small amount of dye and add more if necessary until you get the colour you want. Mix it for about five minutes so that all the strands are saturated evenly.
2) Put on your gloves before mixing up your baking soda solution. Combine two teaspoons of baking soda with one cup of warm water. Cover your hair with the mixture and wrap it up in a towel. Let it sit for ten minutes or longer if you have time to spare, then rinse it out thoroughly.
3) Shampoo twice after applying the mixture and conditioner as usual.
The right products are key when it comes to dyeing your hair. If you want a vibrant, long-lasting colour, be sure to use a quality hair dye that contains no ammonia or peroxide. You’ll also need something to open the cuticle of your hair, which is usually an oxidizing agent like hydrogen peroxide or cream of tartar. There are lots of different dyes out there, so be sure you’re using one that’s appropriate for your desired colour and hair type. Finally, use a quality conditioner post-dyeing for ultimate softness and shine!

This will ensure your hair is as wet as possible before applying and helps reduce damage. After that, apply a generous amount of conditioner from roots to ends, wrap your head in plastic wrap and wait for 15-30 minutes depending on how dark you want your color to be. Then, rinse out all of the dye and style as desired.
