Pink Hair Tips and Advice
Do I Need to Prepare My Hair Before Dying it Pink?
For best results, you need to bleach your hair first. The dye will take to lighter hair much better than dark hair. Another benefit to bleaching is that it dries out the hair; this means that the new color will take better than if your hair was in a more moisturized state before coloring it pink.
How Much Bleach Do I Need?
If your hair is short, you would likely need one package of bleaching product. For longer hair, you should buy two packages to make sure you have enough.
What Equipment Do I Need?
You will need:
- The bottle of pink hair color
- A pair of gloves (these may be included with the hair color)
- A bowl (You will want to use a plastic one)
- An applicator
How Do I Start?
Squeeze a small amount of the color into the bowl. The next step is to apply the color using the applicator tool. Make sure you have a towel draped over your shoulders while the color is being applied. When you are finished, you will probably have to throw the towel out, so be sure to use an old one for this purpose.
Can I Apply the Color Myself?
You can, but it's a good idea to have someone else apply the color for you. The color must be applied quickly and evenly, so it's easier for a second person to apply the coloring product to the hair.
How Long Does the Coloring Product Stay on the Hair?
Check out the instructions on the packaging to find out how long to leave the color in.
What is the Next Step?
After the recommended time has passed, you will need to rinse the hair-coloring product out of your hair. This process may take some time, so be prepared to keep rinsing for several minutes. You need to keep rinsing until the water runs clear. Once again, if you have a friend to help you, he or she will be able to let you know when you get to that point.
Should I Shampoo My Hair Right After Coloring It?
Yes. You will need to shampoo your hair and rinse it thoroughly (again). This process will get any remaining residue from the coloring product out of your hair. After you are finished shampooing your hair, dry it off with an old towel (there may still be some pink color that transfers to the towel).
What Do I Do Next?
Look in the mirror and check out your new 'do!
How Long Will the Color Last?
You will likely find that the color lasts about six weeks. However, it will fade a little every time you wash it.
Can I Use Hair Gel and Other Products on my Hair?
Yes, but you may find that your color "bleeds" onto your hands if you use a hair gel. If you don't like the idea of having pink hands, you could use gloves or skip the gel altogether, if you can avoid using it.
These pink hair tips will help you add a shock of color to your look. If you decide to go pink, you certainly won't have to worry about getting lost in a crowd!
