Dying your own hair rather than going to a hairdresser can be a risky business as there is always the danger it will not turn out how you expected. If you want to do something drastic, like go from brown to blonde, or blonde to black, or if you are unsure at all, then seek advice from a stylist beforehand. If you have tried dying your hair and you have made a mistake, then you will have to go and get it fixed.
How to add colour to your hair
There are a few ways of adding colour to your hair. Highlights are good for adding a texture and subtle colouring to your hair, but are very time consuming as you have to pull the hairs through a cap with tiny holes. The more hair you pull through, the more dramatic the final effect.
Permanent Hair Dye
A permanent colour cannot be washed out, so if you don't like the final shade you will have to wait for it to grow out or have it dyed over which is a job for the professionals. You have to be careful with this kind of dye as the final results may be different to the model on the box as it works with your original hair colour too. If you do not want to take this risk, then you could try a semi permanent colour which stains the hair and washes out after a certain number of washes.
Skin tones and hair dye
People with gold or red skin tones should choose colours that are similar to this, like gold and red and auburn. If you have hair that has no shades of gold in it then the cooler colours might be more suitable. But when you are totally unsure you really have to get advice on your skin tones and see what colours would suit you. Sometimes you can find out your skin tones and colours at a beauty counter for nothing.
How to dye hair
When it comes to the actual dying part, then you have to follow the instructions to the letter. Just make sure that you do a patch test beforehand to check the dye will not irritate your scalp. Try it on the inside of your elbow once you have mixed up the ingredients you will use on your hair and leave it for 48 hours - you can cover up where you spread it on your skin when you wash. If nothing adverse happens then it should be fine. You also have to test out some on a small lock of hair to check that the colour does come out as you imagine and doesn't bleach your hair or do anything else drastic to it!
During the colouring process, make sure you wear old clothes as the dye can get on them, and also try not to let it touch the skin round your face and neck too much, apart from where it has to go. Use an old towel as well and make sure you watch the time very carefully ? you have to be rigorous about this.
