How to
get fantastic results from a home hair dye
Once upon a time home hair dye was very much the domain of teenage girls
and short-of-cash students. However, with advances in technology and formulas
it’s now possible to achieve a result that is as good, if not better, than a
salon applied shade.
If you’re planning a hair transformation, here’s how you can get great
results every time.
Preparation
Just like when you paint your nails, wax your legs or cook a great
dinner, 90% of the work is preparation. Get this right and the rest is easy.
The prep work starts about two-weeks before the dye-day with a really
good, deep conditioner. This will help get your hair into tiptop condition so
that the colour takes to every strand evenly.
Application
Though you may have done a home dye-job a hundred times before, every
manufacturer will have slightly different instructions so make sure you read
and follow them carefully.
If you’re new to the world of home hair colouring, a product like nice 'n easy colour blend foam will be easy to use for
your first attempt. Make sure
that the dye reaches all areas of your head and is applied as evenly as
possible. Use a mirror to help you make sure you get all of the back bits and
be careful when applying around the hair line to avoid staining your forehead.
Patience
For some this may well be the hardest step but Nice
n Easy hair dye products, like all home hair dyes, must be left on
for a set period of time for the colour to stick. If you wash it out too
quickly then you could be left with patchy results or a colour that is
completely different to the one shown on the packet.
Conversely, some people are often tempted to leave the dye for longer in
an attempt to achieve more intense results. This can cause your scalp to become
discoloured or the colour to become unpredictable and could even cause discomfort
or inflammation to the skin so should also be avoided.
Aftercare
To ensure your new colour stays bright and vibrant for as long as
possible, it’s important to keep it well nourished and moisturised. Try using a
leave-in conditioner to protect your locks during the day and if you’re heading
out in the sun it’s a good idea to wear a hat or use a hairspray with UV
protection to lock in your colour.
Once you’ve mastered the art of home hair dyeing, you’re free to
experiment with all of the colours of the rainbow - so pick your next shade and
get started!
That looks so nice!:)
