Choosing a shampoo and conditioner specifically for chemically treated hair will help to maintain color and condition. Not washing your hair for a couple of days before you dye will also help to build up your scalp’s natural oils. Developing time will alter depending on the temperature of you room. If your room is particularly cool then you can cover your hair with a plastic bag and tie a knot to secure in place.
Let the dye develop for the recommended amount of time. Once you’re finished applying dye, remove and dispose of your gloves. Refer to the instructions to find out how long to let the dye develop for. Use a kitchen timer to ensure you don’t leave the dye on too long.
Keracolor color + conditioner
Warm complexions are perfectly complemented by warm, golden or auburn shades, while skin with rosy undertones works best with cooler shades like ash and champagne tones. If you don’t have petroleum jelly or conditioner, try coconut oil or shea butter. Try to make these parts as neat as you can—you need to be as precise as possible to ensure your roots blend in seamlessly with the rest of your hair. Make the first part down the center of your scalp, from your forehead to the nape of your neck.
So, after you’ve finished your full application, make sure to set your timer. Anyone who has dyed their stubborn gray hair or silver strands at home knows that grays can be, well, stubborn, phew! Go for the most color-resistant grays first, so that they’ll get the longest processing time.
Suave Professionals Tea Tree & Hemp Seed Oil Revitalizing Shampoo
I am putting off colouring my hair for as long as possible. Sun and Chlorine damage is a higher risk to chemically treated hair, so keep hair covered when out in the sun and tied up and out of the water when swimming. The condition of your hair prior to coloring will have dramatic results to your finished look. Of course, you may not be looking for a very temporary option which will only last you until you wash your hair.
If you hair has more gray than that, definitely leave it to the pros. Take care to avoid too much dye sitting on your scalp. Now make partings from side to side and similarly apply the mix as you go along.
TRESemmé Botanique Coconut Nourish Shampoo
Take care not to dye the hair that’s already colored. Overlapping the dye can cause a discolored band to form just beyond your roots. …Or reach for color-depositing products to combat gray roots.
Dry/damaged hair takes on a more vibrant color while the risk of further hair damage is strong. A damage repair mask used 3 times weekly for 2 weeks leading up to your dye date will help. I like Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque and Organic Coconut Oil. One of my own favorites, Garnier Nutrisse features plenty of nourishing oils so should leave your hair feeling smooth and silky as well as being freshly-colored. If you are looking for a permanent full-head color rather than a root touch-up, take a look at the options below.
Take care not to spill the dye as it does stain. Foam and mousse formulas are the easiest to apply, but they’re difficult to apply accurately. Go with a cream or gel formula for a precise application.
Another option from L’Oréal, glam lights is easier to apply as it can be brushed on rather than needing to use a highlighting cap. Another option from the same brand which is made up of lots of moisturizing oils, Garnier Olio comes in a very wide range of colors. Below are the best products I have found for more permanent at-home root touch-ups. Another one from Clairol, but this time a powder. You may find that you prefer a powder as it’s easier to control where you are putting in compared to a spray. Below you will find some of the best products to try whether you just need a quick fix for a day or so, or you want a more permanent solution.
Look carefully to see if there are any areas you missed. Choose a dye that matches your hair color exactly. Use a mirror to compare swatches to your roots, as the ends of your hair may be lighter.
Reviewers say it is easy to use and covers well. Marc Anthony’s bye bye Gray is available in a light brown or a dark brown/black. Of course, the safest choice is to choose the color closest to your natural hair shade. So, before you get started with the actual practicalities of dyeing your hair at home, you will need to choose the right hair color for you.
