If you are a brunette, you're in luck!The process of dying your hair from brown to black is relatively easy.There is a reduced chance of damaging your hair if you add color to it rather than lifting it.That doesn't mean you should be aggressive.There are a few things that you can do to get the perfect black hair.
Step 1: There is a box of hair dye.
Black dye can be found at your pharmacy or beauty supply store.You won't waste a lot of time looking at different shades because there is only one shade of true black.Everything you need to dye your hair will come with the hair dye.
Step 2: Put towels down after changing into an old t-shirt.
It is the same as the black dye that will dye your hair and clothing.Put on an old t-shirt before you start.You could possibly get dye if you put old towels over your shoulders, the counter, and the floor.
Step 3: Take your dye and mix it.
The box of hair dye will come with a pair of plastic gloves.The provided dye brush can be used to mix up the developer and dye.Make sure you blend the dye and developer thoroughly.
Step 4: The closest you can get to your head is with the application of petroleum jelly.
Black dye can stain the skin, so applying it to your hair is not a good idea.If you want to protect your skin from the black stains, apply a layer of Vaseline or other substance around your head.This will create a barrier between the dye and your skin, and you can wipe it away once you are done.
Step 5: You should begin applying the dye to your hair.
The provided brush can be used to put dye on hair.Use your fingers to massage the dye into your hair.By using your hands, you can make sure that your hair is not damaged.From roots to tip, do this for your head.You don't have to rush to apply black hair dye because you can take your time.The end result can not get any darker.You can use hair clips to section out your hair, or you can apply the dye to your entire head of hair at once.It depends on how much hair you have.Don't forget to make sure every piece is coated.
Step 6: Take the dye out of your hair.
Allow it to soak into your hair after you have covered it.Specific instructions will be in the box you purchased.Put it in a bun if you are going to move around.It will help you not to get black dye on everything while you wait.
Step 7: Put the dye out.
It is time to rinse after your dye is processed.If you want to rinse and massage your hair, use cool water.It can take awhile for the water to run completely clear.Give your hair a little care once you know you have all the dye out.The conditioner will not remove some of the dye.
Step 8: Limit the amount of washes that you do.
You will rinse out some of the dye when you wash your hair.If you want to keep your hair black, try not to wash it too much.Fight grease can be used in between washes, and you can cover your hair with a shower cap.
Step 9: Cold water can be used to rinse your hair.
Cold water is a good way to wash your hair.It will help your color last longer.The cuticle of the hair will open when the water is hot.Hot water will cause your hair to release the dye.The black dye will stay on your hair if you use cold water.
Step 10: When the color of your hair begins to fade, try to re-dye it.
Your roots will begin to grow out as your black hair fades.It is time to repeat the process when you notice this happening.You can get another box of black hair dye.If you want to keep your hair dark, you need to re-dye it every couple of weeks.
