Making your own Homemade Hair Dye

Hair dyes that should be avoided

It is more economical do dye hair at home. It should be remembered that the same dyes will be different when applied to a different hair colour. Darker colours are less damaging to hair than lighter colours. In all cases proper conditioners should be used. Dye should be applied with a brush and gloves. Permanent dyes damage hair by drying it because it contains ammonia. Ammonia and other oxidants that are in various dyes penetrate the hair structure and damage it. Certain dyes can also cause allergic reactions. It is best to test dyes before using them. There are organic alternatives that ensure ammonia free dyes.

Components in hair dyes and your skin

Hair shouldn’t be dyed too often because it can damage it and cause hair loss. It is best to avoid dyes with harmful components such as PPD, peroxide or ammonia that can cause allergic reactions. Certain type of hair is better suited for colouring and permanent dyes are not needed. In such case it is best to use natural dyes, especially those that contain fruits, and oils, such as coconut oil. To limit hair damage it may be sufficient to colour only hair regrowth.

Match your dye with you skin and eyebrows

When choosing the best dye it is important to match such a day with the colour of the skin and eyebrows. Sometimes dyes can look different after their application. Some women look good in any colour but most women need to have colours that are applied carefully matched. Those women who used to be blond as a child most likely will look good in this colour as an adult. This colour also suits those with fair, pink skin and blue or green eyes. Almost all women look good in reddish colours. It is important to read and follow instructions carefully as keeping the dye not long enough may fail to deliver the desired effect. Keeping the dye too long may damage the hair.

External conditions that affect you dye

It is easier to dye delicate hair than thick. It is recommended to avoid swimming in swimming pool or sea. Sea salt and chlorine may interact with hair dyes.

What to remember about dying at home

Dying hair at home can be more risky than doing it in a hairdressing salon. It is better to dye dry hair than wet. After applying the dye we need to apply a shampoo that would not wash off our hair colour. For this purpose a shampoo with low pH is required. Frequent application of dyes leads to darker colours and eventually to discoloration. It is important to remember that we should only dye regrowth and not entire hair.

Hair colour is set to last

Once we dye our hair we need to continue doing it. Permanent dyes can be used every four weeks. If this is too often we can use a colouring shampoo. It is important to pay attention to the condition of our hair. After dying we need to moisten and nourish our hair. To ensure that our hair remains healthy it is best to dye it every three months.
