How To Dye Your Hair A Bright Color!!

     First of all, to successfully dye your hair a BRIGHT color, it needs to be bleached. There is no way around it. If you don't bleach the color will be muddied and won't be the bright color you're after (unless you're very light blonde). After bleaching your hair it's time to dye it. I recommend a strand test to insure that you like how the color looks.

     DO NOT WASH YOUR HAIR WITH CONDITIONER BEFORE DYING. Using conditioner, including 2in1 shampoo, coats the hair and doesn't allow the dye to take hold. Also, have your hair completely dry, not damp or wet. Please wear gloves when dying your hair, not only can dye be a pain to get off bare skin, it can also do damage. Finally, put petroleum jelly over your ears and around your hairline to protect the skin.

     If you're streaking your hair or dying it multiple colors you'll need to section the parts that you want died away from the others to dye them. If dying all of your hair, all you need to do is follow the instructions that comes with the dye and saturate all of your hair in it. Do not rub it into your scalp!For longer lasting and more vibrant hair, leave the color in for the longest recommended time, testing the your hair occasionally by removing dye from a small section and reapplying if you aren't content.

      After your hair is dyed to your liking, rinse your hair with COLD water, DO NOT WASH. Wait about a day until washing your hair with shampoo and conditioner so the color can set fully. Every time you shower, you will see color coming off into the water. This does not mean that your dye will fade more quickly than it should. Even with dye coming off, the color should only fade small amounts. By the time your roots are showing it's probably time to re-dye.
  
      I HIGHLY recommend that after bleaching, or dying, or both, to apply a deep/strong leave in conditioner or use a repair kit. If you take this step after bleaching, wait about 2-3 days to dye your hair so all of the product is out. If doing this after dying, wait about a day after the initial rinse out to insure that the dye is set fully. Taking this step will heal and repair your hair from the damage that dying and bleaching causes.
