How to paint hair at home
As mentioned earlier, monochromatic staining is easy to do on your own. To achieve a clean and high-quality result, you need to adhere to the following recommendations.
To get started, prepare the following set of tools at hand:
- comb;
- a bowl of plastic or ceramic;
- shampoo;
- gloves;
- a cape on the shoulders;
- vinegar;
- brush;
- coloring preparations;
- bleaching cream;
- a cap on the head;
- fat cream.
Now we start the painting process itself.
Brunettes and other dark-haired young ladies need to discolor the strands for a rich effect. If you want to get a slightly bluish glow, you can skip this step. Before applying the bleaching cream, carefully read the instructions on the package. After the required time has elapsed, rinse it off with ordinary running water, after which do not apply the balm. So the horny scales will remain open, which will increase the penetration of the dye composition deep into the hairs. Finally, dry your hair thoroughly, modern paints are not friendly with moisture.
Advice! Be prepared for the fact that as a result of improperly done discoloration, your hair may turn greenish. If you doubt your own abilities - do not risk it, use the services of a master.
- Cover ears, forehead and neck with petroleum jelly or greasy cream to prevent absorption of the composition into the skin.
- Prepare the dye solution according to the instructions, and cover your shoulders with a cape.
- Divide the hair into 3-4 zones, each of which is carefully treated with a brush with a coloring agent.
- After all the paint is on the strands, collect them in a bunch and cover with a warming cap. This activates the reaction faster.
- After 30-40 minutes (this time is indicated in the instructions from the manufacturer), wash your hair with shampoo, then rinse your hair with vinegar solution (it will fix the shade).
- Wipe off the cream with a cotton pad. If the pigment does penetrate the skin, it can be removed with rubbing alcohol.
After dyeing, your hairstyle needs careful maintenance. Refresh the color with a toning shampoo at least once a week. Also, 1-2 times for 7 days, use regenerating masks, do not forget about balms and conditioners, because the ammonia in coloring products makes the hairs brittle and deprives them of vital energy. It will not be superfluous to drink a course of vitamins.
