To accurately measure hair color from a tube at home, use the measurement markings provided on the packaging.
Most hair color tubes have measurement markings to help you dispense the correct amount of product. Here's how to do it effectively:
-
Locate the Measurement Marks: Carefully examine the hair color tube and developer bottle. You should find markings, often lines or numbers, indicating volume or ratio.
-
Use Package Measurement Marks: The measurement marks on the tubes and bottles are designed for accurate mixing. Adhering to these ensures proper color development and prevents damage.
-
Consistency is Key: If you consistently use the same brand of hair color, you'll become familiar with their markings, making the process easier.
-
Different Brands, Different Markings: Be extra cautious when switching between brands, as their measurement systems may differ. Always double-check before mixing.
-
Weigh it with a Kitchen Scale (optional): If the packaging lacks measurement markings, or you need extreme accuracy, use a kitchen scale. Convert the required volume (e.g., ml) to weight (e.g., grams) – generally, 1 ml of liquid is approximately 1 gram. Consult online resources for precise conversions if necessary.
By carefully following the instructions and utilizing the provided measurement markings, you can achieve consistent and professional-looking hair color results at home.
