Yes, you can have rainbow hair, but achieving vibrant and lasting results requires some preparation.
To effectively dye your hair rainbow colors, here's what you typically need to do:
-
Lighten Your Hair:
- Bleaching: This is usually necessary, especially if you have dark hair. The goal is to lift your hair to a very light blonde shade (level 9 or 10) so the rainbow colors can show up vividly.
- Toning: After bleaching, your hair might have brassy or yellow undertones. Using a toner helps neutralize these undertones, creating a clean base for the rainbow colors.
-
Dye Application:
- Sectioning: Divide your hair into sections for precise application of each color.
- Coloring: Apply each rainbow color individually to the desired sections, ensuring even coverage.
- Processing: Let the dyes process according to the manufacturer's instructions.
-
Maintenance:
- Color-Safe Products: Use shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for color-treated hair to help prevent fading.
- Washing: Wash your hair less frequently and use cold water to help preserve the color.
It's important to note that bleaching can damage your hair, so it's crucial to condition and treat your hair regularly. Consider consulting with a professional hairstylist for the best results and to minimize potential damage.
