How to dye hair roots at home

After dyeing, the hair looks smooth and perfect, but after 2-3 weeks the roots grow, which spoil the aesthetic appearance. The procedure for dyeing the root zone can hardly be called salon, for its implementation does not need to have hairdressing skills. However, as in any other case, the coloring of the roots has its own nuances that are important to consider. Consider everything in order.

Necessary tools and materials

• polyethylene or rubber gloves (often come complete with paint);
• flat comb with fine teeth;
• sponge or paint brush;
• dishes for mixing components (glass, ceramics);
• cosmetic tampons;
• fat cream (it is possible children's);
• coloring pigment.

Training

1. For the procedure is very important to choose the right paint.If possible, get the composition that painted the entire surface of the hair. Otherwise, the imposition of one chemical composition on another may give an undesirable shade in the connection zone.
2. After purchasing the dye, carefully read the instructions. When diluting the paint, it is strongly recommended not to disturb the proportions of mixing the activator and the main pigment. If you are using a professional series, the number of color mixton should not exceed 10% of the total weight of the composition.
3. Take a ceramic, plastic or glass bowl, mix in it all the components in the right proportions. During the connection of the dye with the oxidizer, make sure that none of them remain on the walls of the container in its pure form. Bring the mixture to homogeneity, then immediately proceed to the application. Do not use ironware, in contact with the activator, it can react, which will significantly change the final shade.
4. Dress up in old clothes or dress in a hairdressing apron, wear gloves. Spread a fat cream on the hairline along the neck and forehead.Treat the area behind the ears and the ears themselves so that the paint does not soak into the skin. When applying the cream, do not touch the roots, especially the hair at the forehead in the parting area.

Root staining technology

1. Comb your hair, divide it into 2 equal parts so that a straight parting is formed on the top of the head and the back of the head. Carefully handle the root zone, try not to touch the previously painted hair. Put the brush aside and gently massage the scalp in the place of staining, this will allow the tool to be evenly distributed.
2. After processing of the direct parting, run a comb from one temple to another (closer to the ears). Repeat the previous steps: first paint over the root area, then gently massage the scalp in the application area. Ultimately, you should get a kind of cross on the top, consisting of 4 squares. Paint over the hair roots in the area of ​​the ears, try not to fall on the skin.
3. Comb the hair from the neck to the forehead, work through the parting. Using a comb, separate the strands from the back and side of the head, stain the roots alternately.Since you now have your hair combed forward, you need to return them to the opposite position. Slowly grab the strands from the top, bringing them back, immediately paint over the parting. Gradually move to the forehead and temples. Apply the paint along the crown to the rows: combed back, painted over, combed again. Do not forget to massage the scalp after each application of pigment.
4. When you paint the roots on the entire surface of the head, the hair will stick out in different directions, do not smooth them. Now you need to detect the time and wait for a certain period. Find in the instructions for the paint section with the note "Coloring the roots", the manufacturer indicates the exact time of exposure. Wait for it, then take a flat comb and comb the strands, distributing the composition over the entire length of the hair. After that, wait another 10 minutes for the paint to absorb. Such a move will allow you to hide the border of the imposition of a new pigment on the old.

Practical guidelines for root staining

1. If you are dyed blonde, try to apply the composition, without falling on the previous hair color.Otherwise, the transition zone will be lighter than the roots and primary color.
2. Any use of persistent and semi-resistant dyes involves a chemical effect on the hair. To minimize harm, do not wash your hair for two days before the procedure.
3. In cases where paint previously untested is used to stain the roots, a test for possible allergies should be carried out. 40 hours before direct staining, dissolve a little of the composition and apply it on the occipital region (closer to the neck). Wait, wash, evaluate the result.
4. If you paint over gray hair, give preference to resistant (ammonia) colors. Henna, Basma and semi-resistant dyes cope with the task by only 60-70%.
5. Pregnant and lactating women are strictly forbidden to dye the hair roots with ammonia pigments.
6. To avoid differences between the main color and the root zone, do not forget to note the time. Always add 10 minutes after distributing the composition over the entire length.
7. The optimal frequency of coloring hair roots varies from 1 to 2 times per month. At the same time it is impossible to paint the roots during the week after the perm.
8. Divorced paint is not allowed to leave the next time, and also to store in the open form for more than 3 hours. Try to use the composition immediately after its preparation.

Coloring the hair roots is not particularly difficult, the main thing is to do everything quickly, clearly and accurately. Separate the hair into partings, paint them, then proceed to corrective treatment, selecting individual strands. After the procedure, use a rinse to maintain color.
