Hair dye can be used to cover gray hair or to lighten, darken, or dramatically change the color of hair. It can turn a brunette into a platinum blonde. If a person wants to use it at home, what should he consider?
Demi-permanent hair color fades in approximately 28 washes.
First, one must consider what one wants to do: add warm tones, cool down a metallic color, or cover up gray? Also, is the person looking for a permanent color or just want to try something new? All of these answers will affect the decision.
Someone looking to cover gray should look for a hair color that specifically mentions gray coverage. Gray hair can be difficult to dye, and some brands of hair dye are made for just that purpose. One brand has a hair pre-treatment that should make gray hair accept dye more easily. Those who want to cover their gray without changing their natural hair color too much should look for a shade of dye that is close to their natural color.
For dramatic changes, it is best to visit a hair salon.
Another factor when choosing a hair dye is deciding what to do. If someone wants to add warmer tones or bronze their hair, they should look for hair dye shades with “gold” or “warm” in the color name for warmer tones and “gray” for cooler tones. However, to avoid sudden or sudden change, the person must remain within their color family. That is, someone with medium brown hair should look for shades that say “medium golden brown” or “medium gray brown” or something similar. Many people can go a shade above or below their natural color, from medium brown to light or dark brown, for example, but most should stay in this range.
DIY kits can be used to dye hair at home.
Hair dye can be temporary, semi-permanent, semi-permanent, or permanent. Temporary hair color fades in about two to three shampoos. It’s great for trying out a new color or for a costume party. Semi-permanent dye is removed in seven to 12 washes. Semi-permanent hair color fades in about 28 shampoos, and permanent hair color lasts until the hair grows out or is cut.
After a big change in a salon, it’s easier to maintain color at home.
For a dramatic makeover, it’s a good idea to go to a salon first and have a professional do the work. This could be the best solution for a brunette who wants to go blonde or a blonde who wants red hair. However, once the professional is already at work, it becomes easier to pick hair dye off store shelves and do the job yourself.
The marks are generally consistent from one to another. Some may find that a certain brand has the right shade for their hair and will prefer to stick with that one. Many people get hair color recommendations from friends who have used various brands and have opinions about them. Most brands have websites that offer tips, shade recommendations, and even read-before-you-buy instructions.
Most hair colors complement people with light, cool skin tones.
It is also important to invest in shampoo and conditioner for colored hair. This will help keep the color in place longer and will also keep your hair in good shape since the dye can dry it out. Most hair dyes are available for less than US$10. Someone who wants a good hair color can choose this option instead of paying the salon price.
