It came that time again where I had to re dye my hair, I had been super lazy and not done it in about 5 months so it was nice to spend yesterday 'pampering' myself.
Dying my hair honestly takes a day. You have to dye my hair blonde, which takes about 45 minutes to get the dye fully covered over my head, then I wait about 30 minutes, but the front is normally blonde before we have even finished the back. After I need to wash off the blonde, blow dry my hair and dye it red, I need five boxes of red dye to fully cover my hair and that takes about an hour and I left it 30 minutes, I then had to wash it off, washing out red is a task on its own. It takes me about 45 minutes and two bottles of shampoo and it still don't 'run clear' I then have to blow try and straighten it which takes about an hour and a half so it really is a day task. But I am a fully red head again!!!

Now |
- Use vaseline on your eyebrows and around the hairline, this stops your skin for getting dyed
- Avoid going in the sun for at least a week
- Don't wear anything you'd like to wear again
- ALWAYS wear gloves, dye can be really hard to take off!
- Buy more than you need, always better to have too much than too little
- Buy a cheap brush, hair clips and hairbands that you will only use for doing the dye
- Don't wash your hair for 48 hours if you can, it's better on unwashed hair
When I was dying my hair red I had to go through the same routine.....2 boxes of blonde dye then 2 red.....Took forever but was so worth it!! :D
ReplyDeleteIt's a long routine haha. Lucky it's only two boxes, that just about does my roots.
