How to dye a hair system?

Demi Lovato once said, “ You know you have made it in life when you can dye your hair”.

The tools needed:

Styrofoam head
Wide-tooth comb or brush
Rubber gloves
Aluminum foil
Plastic/ceramic container
Hair dye ( Developer and natural color hair dye)
Shampoo
Leave-in- conditioner
Clean towel

The preparation and method :

Step 1: Wash your hair system gently using a mild shampoo and then apply a leave-in conditioner for about 15 minutes, this way you will remove all the dirt and smoothen up the hair system.

Step 2: Now fix the Styrofoam head with an aluminum foil tightly. This step will prevent any contact with the dye that could compromise the sensitivity of the hair system.

Step 3: Check the density of the hair system, this will give you an idea of how much hair dye you will need during the process.

Step 4: Wear rubber gloves take the container and start mixing the dye to your chosen color the chosen color has to be two shades lighter than your desired finished color.

Step 6: Follow the instructions on how long the dye will stay on your hair system, it is mentioned on the label of the dye or you can also consult a hair specialist for the same.

Alert : If you have a synthetic hair system we would recommend not to use dye on it as it will damage the hair system and will reduce its lifespan too. Whereas, you can easily use a dye on a human hair system as it will absorb the color conveniently.

Step 7: Now, check if the desired color has been achieved on your hair system, if yes rinse your hair system by letting the water runs into it gently. Use shampoo another time to remove extra dye/color.

Step 8: Use a leave-in-conditioner to lock the color into your hair system.

Step 9: Use a clean towel to dry your hair system.

Step 10: You can also use an air dryer to quickly dry your hair system.

Step 11: Now, gently remove the tangles and style your hair system as you want.
