How to Apply Strawberry Blonde hair Color at Home
Because we are talking the application of permanent hair color, our advice to you is to know what you want. So visit a store that has all the shades and if needed have a discussion with the beauty adviser of the store. Only when sure of your choice bring the pack home.
There are many DIY methods of getting the hair color at home, but I am going to take you through the steps I followed:
What you need:
- A pack of Loreal Reddish Blonde and Reddish Penny each
- An old towel
- A big mixing bowl
- A hair dye brush
- Hand gloves
- Ventilating fan
- A book to keep you engaged
- Timer
Directions
- First wash your hair with your regular shampoo, to get rid of oil and dirt, and towel dry your hair. Don’t use a conditioner after this hair wash.
- Empty the developers from both the boxes and mix them really well.
- Now empty the color tubes of these two colors into the mixing bowl and beat them together for a while. It is very important to have these products mixed evenly to give you the perfect shade of strawberry blonde hair color.
- Start the application from at least 1 cm away from the hair roots. Make sure you are not dripping the color into your eyes. If you accidently do so, wash it off immediately.
- Divide your hair into a middle partition, and make sections.
- Start your timer now.
- With the help of the brush, slather your hair sections with the color. Try and finish the application in five minutes or less – trust me it’s doable.
- Once covered all the hair throughout the length, wait for the next 40 minutes.
- Once your timer tells you that 40 minutes are up, wash it off.
- Rinse off the color properly from each strand of your hair.
- When the water starts running clear, wash your hair twice with shampoo and follow it up with conditioning through the length of your hair.
- Towel the hair dry.
Don’t panic if it looks a little too red for your liking – it will look like that for the first few days. We suggest you shampoo your hair every other day till you arrive at the right shade of your choice.
