My first experience dyeing my hair at home was when I was about 14.
That was the beginning of a beautiful relationship thats spanned more than 20 years.
Ive use cream dyes and mousse dyes.
But I keep coming back to the dye.
Ive had my hair colored in a salon before, and I did love the results.
But I love my own dye jobs equally, and they cost a fraction of the price.

I use two boxes when I color my hair.

I wear a ratty old Backstreet Boys T-shirt and a pair of old shorts when Im dying my hair.
Most importantly, I double-check I have the gloves handy that come with the box of dye.
Section Your Hair
Dont just apply hair dye all willy-nilly.
Use clips to keep the sections in place while you work on your hair.
Start from the back two sections of hair, clipping them back up as you go.
This ensures the dye is spread evenly and helps your color look more professional.
Do this for a few minutes, and then rinse thoroughly.
After rinsing, I shampoo my hair to get rid of any residue on my scalp and neck.
Leave it on for a few minutes while you shower, and rinse thoroughly.
Leave It Alone
The more often you wash your colored hair, the less time it will last.
This is especially true with red dye, which fades fast.
