Apply hair dye by working in sections to ensure even coverage. Here's a breakdown of the process:
-
Section Your Hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections. This is crucial for even dye distribution. A common method is to divide the hair down the middle from forehead to nape, and then divide each half again from ear to ear. You should end up with four sections.
-
Subsection and Apply:
- Work on one section at a time. Further divide each larger section into smaller subsections, approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide. This ensures that every strand of hair is coated with dye.
- Using the applicator bottle or brush, apply the dye to the roots of the first subsection, working your way down the hair shaft.
- Use gloved fingers to massage the dye into the hair, ensuring complete and even coverage.
-
Repeat: Continue this process, subsection by subsection, until all sections of hair are covered in dye.
-
Process: Follow the instructions on the hair dye package for processing time. This is the amount of time the dye needs to sit on your hair to properly develop.
-
Rinse and Condition: Once the processing time is complete, rinse your hair thoroughly with cool water until the water runs clear. Apply the conditioner that comes with the dye or a color-safe conditioner.
-
Dry and Style: Dry and style your hair as usual.
