How to color hair

If your busy schedule and / or pocket do not allow to shelve oodles and seek the professional’s help for coloring your hair, you will have to avail the methods and materials available at home for the same.

Most of the guides on how to color hair would suggest you to wash and deep condition your hair at least three days prior to the performance of the hair treatment. This is to allow the natural oil of your scalp to resurface your hair follicles. Further, as per experts, presence of natural oil on the scalp acts as a protective layer and consequently saves your skin from incurring chemical reactions of sorts.

Remember to wear old and worn out clothes during the procedure as the chances of the dye tipping down your clothes are likely. Next, gather all the hair clips to help you divide your hair into sections and a mirror to see the back of your hair.

Also, as suggested by most of the guides on how to color hair, it is important to test the dye for its allergic reactions by dropping its few drops over the skin. If there are no significant changes in the skin, proceed further with the method.

How to color long hair

Hair Coloring TipsFor long hair, it is better to call upon your friends at home as you’d be requiring more help for properly coloring hair.

Make sure to condition your hair well so as to make the cuticles well hydrated and not dry. Hair coloring over dry strands can make the hair more brittle and prone to breakage over the time.

Survey the latest hair colors that have hit the market and choose the best for yourself. Remember the color must complement your skin tone and not match your complexion.

Remember that the ends of the hair strands are considerably more porous than the rest of the strands. Therefore, the tips of the hair would absorb more color than the rest of the regions.

Conduct the allergy test to check if the hair color you’ve chosen would cause any allergic reactions on your skin. To conduct the test before hair coloring, simply mix the ingredients of the dye and apply its few drops on your skin. If there are no significant changes in the appearance of your skin, proceed with the same dye.

In case of long hair, remember to start with the application of the color from the mid-length. Then proceed the same towards the hair roots and tips.

It is better to divide the hair into varied sections, in case your hair are both long and thick.

How to color wavy and curly hair

It is better to opt for permanent hair coloring for wavy and curly hair types. This is essentially so as the frequent usage of chemicals loaded dyes may damage the hair or make them extremely dry. In case your wavy hair have already become dry due to the usage of pressing and relaxing tools, it is advisable to consult a professional before completing the method.

How to color gray hair

As known to all, the natural color of the hair is lost over the time due to aging. Now the pigmented hair shafts tend to become less porous towards the hair color applied. Therefore, before hair coloring, it is important to make the hair shafts softer by shampooing them a night before. Choose the color which is at least a tone or two tones darker than the natural color of your hair.

Hair color as per seasonal changes

The very onset of the fresh season, spring encourages us to experiment with our look. Therefore, this is the right time to change your hair color. Spring is the ideal time to boast highlights right under the blaze of the sun. Since this season is not associated with burning sun, the chances of the fading away of the color owing to hot sunny waves are also less. There are no chances of hard water washing or dulling away our hair color. Low-lights is yet another option to go for. This treatment significantly colors the hair strands making it visible under the beautiful and pleasant sun.
