Getting the Most Out of Your Hair Dye Job

If you've ever wondered how to get the most out of your hair dye job, now is the time to learn the steps. If you're considering hair dye but have no idea what to do, you're not alone. The truth is that there are thousands of people with problems with dye and each day, thousands more get it done without knowing the right way to go about it.

The most common problem with hair dye is that the manufacturer recommends using the product for up to two weeks before the hair color is applied. The trouble is that the color fades from the bottom to the top and all of the after-color fades at the same time. You're better off using it less than a week after the application is made.

Many women feel that if they only dye their hair once, then they will be able to use it longer. The truth is that it will fade evenly and only take a few minutes to reapply. Many men also have this problem and will often get away with one application, but that might be pushing it.

People with fine hair have a much more serious problem. While the results of getting the dye on your head can be dramatic, the way it transfers to the rest of your body can cause severe burns. If you have fine hair, make sure you cover the area around the dye with a shower cap and towel.


Once the damage occurs, there is no going back. If you have fine hair, the dye can make the hair fall out permanently. The dye might also make your skin develop itchy or red patches. It may also cause discoloration, which is particularly dangerous if you have light-colored skin.

If you want to avoid having to pay a visit to a non-professional hairstylist, you should invest in professional grade hair dyes. While there are many good quality products out there, the manufacturer might not tell you. Instead, they'll recommend using something that's more concentrated so that you can see a noticeable difference.

Don't forget to look for products that contain dye that is labeled specifically for mixing. You don't want to end up in the emergency room if you mix the wrong chemical. This is especially true if you mix more than two parts per million of the dye. Even though it might sound like it doesn't matter, it does.

Limit yourself to only one application of the dye. After applying the dye, rinse it thoroughly with cool water. This prevents any residual dye from sitting on the hair. Check out my latest post on How to Use Carmex Cold Sore Treatments? here.

While it may seem strange, it is very important to wait 48 hours after the application of the dye before going to bed. The reason is that the coloring might wash out of the hair. The protein in the hair will also cease to work, and you will need to use a new shampoo to restore it.

The dye might also bleach your clothes if you use it in extreme temperatures. Always use a hair dryer or low heat setting on fresh sets of clothes. If you do find that your clothes get stained, always iron them in hot water until they are completely dry.

If you have any doubts about how to use hair dye properly, contact your local salon. Most salons will provide some very good instruction on how to use hair colors correctly. It might even include advice on how to apply the dye properly.

Your friends and family will be impressed by the results of your hair color. Even if you get a bad reaction, they'll appreciate the thought that you put into your hair care. You'll have many happy memories to share with them.
