We’ve all heard the DIY hair dye horror stories – itchy scalps, dry, split ends, colours that fade after one wash. So what’s a girl to do when she’s embarking on her first at-home dye job? Thanks to SILKYGIRL ColorShine Haircolor, changing hair colours just got a whole lot easier.
1 Skip the shower
Your hair’s natural oils prevent scalp irritation, so it’s best to skip washing your hair the day before your dye job. If you’re still worried about potential itchiness, pick an ammonia-free hair dye like SILKYGIRL ColorShine Haircolor. It’s extra gentle on your scalp and skin, and you won’t have to deal with stinging fumes.
2 Get your tools ready
While SILKYGIRL ColorShine Haircolor is easy to use, you’ll have to be prepared for some mess. So get old t-shirts and towels ready, and line your bathroom floor with old newspaper. You could also apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly on your hairline to prevent the dye from staining your skin.
3 Keep your hair protected
Chlorine strips away the hair cuticle, allowing minerals in pool water to penetrate the hair and alter the colour of your new dye job. Plus, UV rays breaks down hair pigments. To prevent colour from fading, opt for a dye like SILKYGIRL ColorShine Haircolor, which provides your hair with a layer of UV protection to minimise sun damage. That’s how your dye job will stay fantastic.
4 Condition your hair
To prevent split ends and frizz, it’s important to deeply condition your hair. Choose a dye kit like ColorShine Haircolor to prevent hair damage. It contains Panthenol, a Pro-Vitamin B5 that will give your hair a shine and gloss. The kit also contains an After-color Conditioner that has nourishing ingredients like wild mango butter and argan oil to ensure your hair stays conditioned and protected during the colouring process. It also contains aloe vera, which helps to soothe your scalp and lock in moisture.
