During this time of quarantine, it is true that there was no alternative but to buy and apply the dye at home. As a general rule, it is a fairly simple process, although we must also talk about some spoils that people have been uploading to their social networks, to give good proof of it.
Having the hairdressers closed made the sale of the dyes will skyrocket like never before. All the supermarkets noticed these big sales, which has caused many of them to put their interest in making more of their entire range. Do you know which ones are the best sellers and how to apply them correctly at home?
The dye, one of the products with the most demand
While the alarm status is or was active, the hairdressers also closed their doors. Although at first there were some doubts, in the end they could not work to be safe, both professionals and their clients. That is why many people who went every month to cover their gray hair or touch up the roots, could not do it. Although for many it is not a first necessity, it is true that the dye was in most of the carts when people went shopping.
Supermarkets saw their sales grow, especially in the White marks that they have. Brands that have a wide variety of colors from the lightest to the darkest and that their prices are around 4 euros, approximately. So it makes it an inexpensive and quick option to, at least, keep an image away from the gray hair and those roots that we mentioned.
You need to get your color right
We will always leave very risky changes in the hands of the experts. Because they know what kind of hair do we have, what colors can be better or worse and even the mixes that should be followed. Therefore, when applying the dye at home, it is best to choose a color that is very close to ours. How to do it?
- Remember that when we are before a very punished hair, the dye will penetrate faster, so the color may appear more intense. Sometimes, we can even look different in the most burned parts of those that are not so much.
- It is always safer choose one or two shades both lighter and darker, depending on the result you want to obtain. But as we say, always stick with the one that is closest to the usual color. Because this way, we will not get so many surprises in the final result.
If you have very gray hair and you apply the dye at home
It is true that in this case we will always look for those dyes that cover gray hair. Those we have mentioned, which we will find in supermarkets, will. Of course, it is also advisable to choose vegan options, free of silicones, which are also already on the shelves and are enriched with argan oil or other vitamins. Of course, not all of them have the same ingredients, but little by little most of them offer us a good coverage and more health for the hair. But in addition to all this you have to know that the grayer hair can have slight problems.
On the one hand, although it is true that they ensure a total coverage, it does not always come to be like this. In my case, I have checked it and on several occasions. Of course, it will always depend on the type of hair and of course, on the amount of gray you have. On the other hand, remember that having gray hair also implies that the final color may vary, being a little lighter.
If you are only going to touch up the roots
The best thing in these cases is always to follow the instructions that they provide us. But broadly speaking, we will say that you will have to start with them (and apply most of the dye in this area) and after a few minutes, you will distribute the mixture throughout the hair. So that in this way, the result is more uniform than we think.
Divide hair from the roots
Apply the dye at home It will always be easier for those with little or short hair. Those of us who have a lot of long hair, it makes us quite an Odyssey. We start from the top of the roots. We have to divide the hair, making a kind of lines and between them there are no more than two centimeters. First you will do it on one side of the head and then on the other. The most complicated part can be the back if we do it ourselves: Help yourself with a brush and try to get your hair well impregnated.
