Skipping salon to do a hair
coloring session at home is a wonderful idea. It is a great idea to save time
and money. Not only this, but it also helps in enhancing your artistic skills.
Most of the first-timers might fear to do this challenging task of hair
coloring. They are especially worried about damaging their hair due to improper
techniques or blunders. Let me ensure you that if you try doing hair color with
proper instructions, it can be one of the most elementary tasks. We are
enlisting a few of do and don'ts that will help you to have a glossy finish
& salon-like colored hair at home!
1. Let us start with the do’s:
·
Keep your
skin tone in mind:
From skin tone,
we are not referring to the shade of your skin. Instead, it is the cool or warm
tone of your skin that determines which color will suit better. If you have a
warm skin tone, go for colors like gold, mahogany, auburn, and copper. While,
if you have a cooler skin tone, prefer burgundy or ash colors. You can go for
experimental colors too.
·
Make sure
to read the instructions:
Reading
instructions given on the top of the packet is the first thing that you should
do. So many hair
colour brands are available in the market. However, not every brand
suggests a similar coloring technique. The time for color to stay in your hair
differs in every brand. Leaving the color for too long will not give you
suitable results.
·
Pre-assemble
all the things:
You need to
gather all the instruments at a place before starting the procedure. In this
way, you can eliminate the stress resulting from hair coloring. Assemble
everything, including brush, needle, comb, cap, removers, mixing bowl, foil,
water, and the coloring agents.
·
Take care
of your roots:
Ideally, the
roots are more sensitive than the length of the hair. Therefore, you need to
select exclusive root colors if you are planning to do a root touch up.
2. How can we overlook the don’ts?
·
Don’t
jump on to more than two shades:
Ideally, the
roots are more sensitive than the length of the hair. Therefore, you need to
select exclusive root colors if you are planning to do a root touch up.
·
Don’t try
hair color on allergic scalp:
Ideally, the
roots are more sensitive than the length of the hair. Therefore, you need to
select exclusive root colors if you are planning to do a root touch up. Consult
your doctor or beautician if you still want to go for it.
·
Do not
apply too much on damaged ends:
Applying too much
hair color on damaged ends will solely waste your hair color and work. Make
sure to avoid coloring damaged ends. Instead, we would recommend to get a
proper trimming before hair coloring.
Conclusion:
Coloring your hair at home gives
you a boost of self-confidence. Don't worry; no one is perfect at once! Keep
trying and you will achieve an accurate hair color someday. Do give it a try!
