If you decide to dye your hair yourself, then approach the issue thoroughly
Not all girls dye their hair in the salon, some prefer to dye their own hair at home. And there is nothing reprehensible in this, if you do everything carefully and consistently - even commendably. In quarantine, the topic of home dyeing is more relevant than ever, so we decided to talk about the 5 most common mistakes in dyeing hair that make everything so that you don't do it “right”. And the professional hair stylist Schwarzkopf Timur Yatsuk told us “how to” to do it, and we are ready to share.
ERROR 1: CHOICE OF COLOR
According to the expert, when choosing a hair shade, you should not focus only on the color indicated on the package, do not take into account the history of past dyes and the current hair color. At home, it is easier to make the hair darker, much more difficult to lighten. If you want to become significantly brighter, then at the first stage you need to use brighteners. In this case, the main thing is to carefully read the instructions. “I do not recommend lightening hair that has previously been dyed with henna, basma and other natural dyes: they contain metals that, when oxidized, leave a greenish tint on the hair. In such cases, I advise you to simply “grow your color,” says Timur.
MISTAKE 2: PREPARATION
Should I wash my hair before dyeing? Some girls do not wash their hair for a week, others, on the contrary, apply paint to their newly washed hair, which is fundamentally wrong. For safe staining, sebum is very important, which is formed on the skin and protects it from the chemical effects of dyes. Therefore, on the day of staining, you should not wash your hair. However, for high-quality dyeing, the hair should not be very dirty, no more than one or two days of “freshness” - otherwise it will lead to an uneven distribution of paint, the color will be uneven. In the process of dyeing, do not forget to comb the hair along the entire length so that they do not tangles.
ERROR 3: ALLERGY TEST
Before staining, be sure to check yourself for an allergic reaction. No need to blindly rely on the successful experience of friends and ignore this procedure. Otherwise, you can get irritation and inflammation on the skin, it is very dangerous. “You can test the paint on the inner bend of the elbow: apply a little dye on the skin for 45 minutes, then watch it for two days. Most modern dyes have a high-quality composition, and an allergy to high-quality paint is extremely rare, but still no one is protected from this. Any slightest changes in the human body, for example, hormonal imbalance, can cause a negative reaction to a coloring matter, ”says Timur.
ERROR 4: PROPORTIONS
“Girls often buy 1 pack of paint, and in the process of painting they realize that it is suddenly not enough. Therefore, they begin to randomly distribute the remains of the mixture along the entire length. The result is stained with stains, ”says Timur. To avoid such an unpleasant situation, stock up on the necessary amount of paint, based on the following proportion: 1 tube is designed for average length and average density of hair. Even if you have not very long, but thick and magnificent hair, then you definitely need more than 1 pack of paint. Do not forget that all the components of the hair dye kit must be used immediately after opening. Even if you need to paint only the roots, use the entire contents of the tube, do not leave paint residues for later.
ERROR 5: SEQUENCE
Most girls violate the sequence of stages of staining: first they apply paint on the strands of the face, then on the back of the head and only then on the entire length. As a result, if you used dye for dark hair, the color is too dark, the curls are overdried. Instead, divide the hair into four parts - from the middle of the forehead to the middle of the nape and from ear to ear through the crown; apply paint to the roots, then the entire length, and only then on the strands near the face
