In order to avoid damage as much as possible, you must master the correct use of hair dye.

How to use hair dye?

Using hair dye can make hair breakage easy and sometimes cause allergic reactions, but hair dye also has its advantages. For example, it can change hair quality. Originally, people with thick and heavy dark hair can turn their hair into light and fine hair after using hair dye. People who use hair dye can keep their hairstyle for a long time after perming.

It is necessary to do a test before dyeing your hair, because some people will have an allergic reaction one or two days after dyeing their hair. The test method is to take a small amount of the two liquids in the hair dye, mix them together, and apply it to delicate skin, such as the inside of the wrist. After 24 hours, if there is no adverse reaction, you can use this hair dye. Never dye your hair if you have skin damage or scalp infection.

The first step is to choose the appropriate hair dye. Hair dyes generally contain chemical ingredients, and these chemical ingredients are not suitable for everyone. Some people may be allergic to certain chemical ingredients, which may cause damage to the scalp and even cause inflammation. Therefore, the choice of hair dye is very important. You can first apply a little on the back of your hands, behind the ears and other skin areas, wait 24 hours to see if there is any allergic inflammation. If everything is normal, it means your scalp can adapt to this hair dye; if scars, redness, swelling and other phenomena occur, you should consider choosing another hair dye.

The second step is to wash your hair. The grease and dirt on the hair will affect the dyeing effect, so it should be washed as clean as possible to ensure that the hair is fully exposed to the hair dye to produce the ideal dyeing effect. When washing your hair, it is best to use a nourishing shampoo containing protein, which can replenish nutrients and nourish the hair. Try to avoid using alkaline shampoos.

Step 3: Apply ointment around the hairline. You can apply ointments such as Vaseline to areas where the hair edges are easily touched, such as the skin on the forehead, the skin in front of the ears, and the skin on the neck, and wrap a towel around your head and neck to prevent these parts of the skin from being contaminated during the hair dyeing process.

Step 4: Dye your hair evenly. Hair dyeing should not be messy, and it should not be done in a hurry. The hair should be divided into several strands and dyed one strand at a time. Apply the dye with a small, thin brush, starting at your temples and working your way in strand by strand. When applying the dye, carefully rub it into every strand of hair, apply it from the roots to the ends, and apply it evenly. There should not be more or less dye in one place. Continue this process until all the hair is covered with the dye, then use a comb to go all over your hair to ensure that all the hair is evenly soaked with the dye.

Step 5: Wash off the hair dye. After applying the hair dye, let your hair dry naturally for about half an hour. Then wet your hair with clean water and use shampoo to wash the dye off your hair. If you want to better remove the floating color on the surface of your hair, you can add some lemon juice to warm water.

Step 6: Take care of your hair. Newly dyed hair should be cared for immediately to moisturize the hair and protect its quality. You can use a towel to absorb the moisture from your hair, and then let it dry naturally, and try not to use a hair dryer. Then apply nourishing hair cream or hair oil on the hair to increase the brightness of the hair, making the hair both colorful and shiny. Finally, it is worth mentioning that hair dyeing should not be done frequently. You should control the frequency of hair dyeing, otherwise it will cause great damage to the hair quality.
