To section your hair for coloring roots, you will need four clips. You can use hair clips or butterfly clips, which can be acquired from the provided reference.
Here is how you can section your hair using clips, following a method that provides the necessary sections for effective root touch-ups:
Step-by-Step Guide to Sectioning Hair
-
Preparation: Gather four clips, either standard hair clips or butterfly clips. These clips help in securing different sections of hair. The reference also states that if you don't have hair clips, you can pick some up on their website or use butterfly clips.
-
First Section: Start by creating a middle part that goes from your forehead to the back of your head, dividing your hair into two equal halves.
-
Second Section: Then, create a part across the top of your head from one ear to the other. This forms four distinct sections:
- Two front sections
- Two back sections
-
Securing Sections: Once sections are identified, use clips to secure each section separately:
- Clip each front section at the hairline
- Clip each back section at the crown
-
Ready to Apply Color: Now, your hair is sectioned to allow for easy and effective root coloring.
Why Sectioning is Important
Sectioning hair is crucial when applying color to the roots, because:
- It ensures that you apply the color evenly and thoroughly.
- It helps to keep the color application process organized.
- It prevents the applied hair dye from getting tangled into other parts of hair.
- It makes it easier to apply color only to the roots.
Additional Tips
- Make sure all sections are securely clipped to avoid them getting mixed together.
- Use a mirror to check the back sections to ensure they are straight and even.
- If you have thick hair, you might need more clips or sub-sections within the larger sections.
By following these steps, you’ll be prepared to apply color to your roots efficiently and effectively.
