For toner to work properly, it must be mixed with the developer. Do not use more than 10 volume developer with your toner. Whatever method you choose, you will need a container to hold your dye so you can dip your brush in it.
No one wants to burn their hands with bleach or stain them with dye! When changing up your hair color, hair dye WILL inevitably get on your clothes. The same thing goes for shorts or pants: you never know where dye or bleach is going to drip. To prevent dye from getting on the rest of your hair, you can use tin foil or plastic wrap to keep the highlighted sections secure.
The advantage of plastic wrap is that you can see what color your hair is turning as opposed to having to open the foils every 10 minutes. Since pigment will be lifted, your hair is going to be damaged. You may not even see the full effects of this damage immediately, but you should start taking care of it ASAP. This means using as much conditioner as you need, including regular deep-conditioning treatments.
Use your favorite conditioning product. For some, a leave-in conditioner spray can be a godsend. Or, depending on your hair type, hair oils may work in place of a traditional conditioner, such as coconut, olive, or argan oil.
Have someone eyeball the back of your head during and after the process just to make sure everything is even and covered. With a little common sense and the right tools, anyone can dye their hair at home.
This is the first and most important step. Always make a small test strip on your hair so that there are no surprises at the end and no expensive trips to the salon. If your dye kit involves mixing a powder and a liquid, try to mix only what you need to do the test strip.
Otherwise, the chemical process will not last long enough to do your whole head later. Remember that the color on the box is not a guaranteed result of the color your hair will be. Usually, a hair dying kit will include several tubes or packets that you will have to mix to activate the dye or bleach.
Carefully following the instructions included in the kit, mix the appropriate ratio, and stir evenly until everything is thoroughly mixed. Take a glob of product onto your tinting brush and carefully paint the strands you wish to highlight, avoiding spills. You may want to section your hair with clips or hair ties to make this easier. Do not apply in thick sections!!! Try to keep your highlights to the width of a shoelace. Start with the hair that is closest to your face, then work towards the back of your head.
Turn on some Netflix, tackle some emails, or do a load of laundry. The amount of time you let your hair sit should depend on the instructions of the kit and your hair type, but you should check the color every ten minutes.
The average time to wait is around thirty minutes. However, if something looks off or the color is as light as you want it to go, hop in the shower and rinse the dye or bleach immediately! If not, let sit for up to an hour. Do NOT keep the dye or bleach on for more than an hour. To protect your clothing from bleach or dye stains, remove your clothes before removing the foils or plastic wrap. Wash well with shampoo and use a deep conditioner.
However, more often than not, the brassy yellow or orange color you will get from lightening dark hair will not be your desired final color. To get the desired shade, we can alter the undertones of your highlights. For example, if you want to avoid yellow, brassy tones, you should use the opposite color on the color wheel. Yellow and purple are contrasting colors, so we use purple to combat yellow tones.

If you're using the aluminum foil method, fold the foil over the section of hair to cover it and protect it from drying out. Check your hair after fifteen minutes.
Use a towel to wipe off a little bleach. If your hair is blonde, the bleaching process is finished. If it still looks dark, apply more bleach to the area you wiped off, replace the plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and give it more time.
Keep checking every 10 to 15 minutes until it is finished. Don't leave the bleach in for more than 45 minutes, even if your hair still looks dark. Your hair can get damaged if you leave the bleach in longer. You may have to wait a day and bleach it again to achieve the desired effect this is common for people with very dark brown or black hair. Wash out the bleach.
Carefully rinse the bleach from the strands of hair that you treated. Keep the rest of your hair separate so that it doesn't get bleach on it. Rinse until the water runs clear. Use a purple shampoo. A purple shampoo will effectively tone your hair and take the yellow out of it.
Wash your hair with purple shampoo as soon as you are done rinsing the bleach from your hair. Allow it to sit on your hair for about five minutes. Then, rinse it out thoroughly, and pat your hair dry with a towel. Method 3. Prepare your hair and hair dye. Re-section your hair according to the strands that have been bleached. Sometimes you will mix the dye with a developer in a bowl. Or, you will squeeze the hair dye directly into a bowl. Use a brush to apply the hair dye.
Completely cover the strands of bleached hair with the dye from root to tip. Repeat this process until all of the bleached strands have been covered in color. If you're using the aluminum foil method for separating large pieces of hair, replace the aluminum foil you used to bleach your hair with a fresh piece for dying it.
Follow any specific application directions that came on the dye. Let the color set. In most cases, you'll need to let the dye work for about 30 minutes to make sure the color sets. Look your hair after ten or fifteen minutes to check the progress, though.
Rinse out the dye. If not, you can begin rinsing your hair out. Submerge your hair fully under water until all of the dye has been washed out.
You can stop rinsing when the water runs clear. Condition your hair. The dyeing process can leave your hair dry, so make sure to condition your hair when you have rinsed the dye out of it.
Any type of color-safe conditioner will work, but it is best to use a deep conditioner made for color-treated hair. Allow the deep conditioner to sit for five to ten minutes.
Use the deep conditioner once a week to keep your hair soft. Maintain your streaks. Once your hair is dry, the streaks should be very noticeable. Keep them looking bright by using shampoo designed to keep dyed hair fresh. If you want to keep the streaks for a long time, you'll need to bleach and dye the roots from time to time as your hair grows out.
