Selecting the right at-home hair dye kit can simplify the coloring process. For all-over, permanent color, opt for L Oréal Paris Superior Preference Fade-Defying Shine Permanent Hair Color. Its liquid formula ensures easy application.
Start by brushing through dry hair to remove tangles. Section your hair down the middle from the crown to the nape, then divide each side into smaller sections. Clip hair out of the way, ensuring manageable sections for even color application.
Unclip a front section and apply dye along the hairline, blending with gloved fingers. Ensure thorough coverage along the part and hairline, revisiting areas to prevent missed spots.
Release both front sections and create quarter-inch sections along the part. Apply dye at the roots, spreading with your thumb, and folding each section to the opposite side. Repeat until reaching the ear, then switch sides and clip front sections away.
Release a back section and apply dye along the part, then divide the section horizontally and color from roots to ends. Alternate sides and pay attention to the nape of the neck. Massage dye into roots if needed for even coverage.
Apply dye to two-inch sections from root to tip, ensuring even saturation. Begin at the front and work toward the back until all hair is colored. Use ample dye for thorough coverage.
Follow kit instructions for processing time, setting a timer to avoid over-processing. Rinse hair until water runs clear, then apply included conditioner for five minutes before rinsing. Dry and style hair as desired.
