What are the hair dyeing techniques?

We all want to have beautiful hair color, and we know the difference between dyeing our hair at home and in a salon. If we want to dye our hair at home to the same beautiful color as in the store, we need to learn some hair dyeing techniques. Therefore, we need to have a good understanding of this issue. So what are the hair dyeing techniques? Let’s see how the editor answers this question.

Hair dyeing tips you should know

1. Highlights

1. Highlighting will not allow a large amount of dye to come into contact with the hair roots, so you don’t have to worry about the hair growing too fast and causing a gap between the hair roots and the dyed hair. The dyeing will be more durable and the interval between re-dyeing can be longer.

2. Highlights need to be done more finely, and never dye them into blocks or flakes. When dyeing your hair, divide it into many small areas for highlights, which will look more natural.

3. The most basic principle of highlighting is that you should not choose more than two colors, and it is best to choose two colors from the same color family with similar shades to create a sense of layering. If you dye your hair at home, it is recommended to avoid challenging colors that are too difficult.

4. If you want to try a hair dye that has a strong contrast with the original color of your hair, it is recommended to use a short-acting hair dye. Because short-acting dyes use relatively mild chemicals. Temporary or one-time dyes are a good option, especially if you're not sure if you're ready for permanent hair dye.

5. Choose a color that suits your original hair color. Most Chinese people have pure black hair, so moderate dark brown or cherry red may be more suitable for us. But the specific color that is suitable still needs to be determined according to each person's skin tone. If you have cool skin tones, you should choose cool-toned hair highlights to avoid creating an abrupt contrast effect.

6. If you are troubled about what color to dye your hair, choose natural or neutral colors. Because natural or neutral colors suit all skin types, whether you have cool or warm undertones, this is the easiest way to go wrong.

7. If you want the hair dye to have a better coloring effect, wrap your hair with plastic wrap after applying the dye, wrap it with a wrung-out hot towel, and then put on a shower cap. The heating and insulation can allow the color to adhere more evenly to the hair.

8. The most easily overlooked tip when dyeing your hair yourself is that you can wear old clothes you don’t want, or a bra that is easy to put on and take off. It is not recommended to wear a pullover, as it can easily ruin the newly colored hair when taking it off.

2. Gradient Dyeing

Gradient dyeing is also a type of highlighting. There are many ways to express gradient dyeing, such as triangular highlights, radial highlights, and diagonal highlights, each of which has its own unique expression.

1. Triangle pose

Triangular highlights are more suitable for medium or long hair. Because the highlights in the form of triangular hair bundles enhance the layering of the hairstyle. The highlighted hair pieces will appear pointed when they fall, highlighting the layers of the hairstyle and the highlighted hair. But it is important to keep a distance between the triangular areas when highlighting, otherwise there will be too much highlighting.

2. Diagonal

Diagonal partitions can show the natural feeling of long layers, and when making long arc partitions, the focus should be on the top. For example, in the "hairstyle", when the bangs fall forward, the long arc-shaped highlights on the top should be divided from front to back, so that the lines of the highlighted part can be clearly outlined. It should be noted that before doing diagonal highlights, you should design your hairstyle first and then draw the hair in the reverse direction.

3. Radial

Radiating highlights use the top as the center point to show the curvature of the hairstyle, and are suitable for hairstyles such as short hair and bob. When dyeing your hair, you should find the direction of hair growth and divide it into sections with pointed top and wide bottom. The distance of the top highlights should be at least 1CM.

Looking at the above hair dyeing techniques, we must make good use of these hair dyeing techniques. No matter which technique you use to dye your hair, it is still very important to be careful. You need to pay attention with your eyes and hands. Remember not to rush when dyeing your hair, otherwise, you will be further and further away from a satisfactory hair color. Finally, I hope everyone can have a hair color that they are satisfied with!
