Most Common Hair Color

This strand test is done by applying a bit of hair dye on only a small, back portion of your hair. Wait a full 24 hour period and make sure the hair dye color comes out the way that you envisioned it. If not, you will need to purchase a different type or color of hair dye. The strand test also helps with determining if you are allergic or sensitive to any chemicals in the hair dye. If any sensitivity happens or allergies occur, then toss the hair dye and purchase another formula.

That means that you must wash and condition your hair so that it is clean and free of dirt and oils, but do it 24 hours before you actually dye your hair to ensure that the hair dye is able to soak into your strands. Brush your hair out thoroughly to make sure you have no tangles or knots in your hair. Make sure that your hair is completely dry and brushed out before you start applying the actual hair dye.

Firstly, apply petroleum jelly on all skin that will come into contact with the hair dye, and don’t forget your ears; this will ensure that you will easily be able to take off any hair dye from your skin. Make sure to cover your neck with a rag or piece of cloth and wear an old t-shirt or something that you don’t mind ruining. Put on your gloves and you are good to go!

Remember not to leave hair dye on for too long or you could damage your hair which could lead to breakage and dry scalp. Wash your hair with shampoo and run your head through the water until it runs clear. It may take a few minutes for all the hair dye to wash out of your hair. Then apply a high quality conditioner to your hair. This will infuse your hair with moisture and help it to look shiny and sleek. Remember not to wash your hair with hot water; freshly dyed hair is best when washed with cold water, so wash out your hair dye with the coldest water that you can handle.
