Pink Hair

In order to achieve pink hair you need to undergo a double process. This means that you will need to first lighten the hair then color

Here are some common supplies needed to dye hair at home:

Hair dye - This comes in a box and includes the dye formula, developer, and sometimes other items like gloves or application tools. Choose a color that matches or complements your desired hair color.

- Gloves - Wear gloves to protect your hands from the hair dye chemicals.

- Hair dye brush - A small brush helps apply the dye evenly through your hair.

- Tinting bowl - A plastic or glass bowl to mix the hair dye in.

- Clips or clamps - Use these to section off your hair during application.

- Cape or towel - Wear a cape or use a towel to avoid getting dye on your clothes.

- Petroleum jelly - Apply this around your hairline and ears to prevent dye from staining your skin.

- Shampoo and conditioner - Gentle, color-safe shampoo and conditioner help maintain your new hair color.

- Timer - Use a timer to keep track of how long the dye is left on your hair.

Start by adding the activating powder and developer cream according to the instructions on the powder packaging. This is usually a 1:2 ratio of powder to developer. First, add the powder into the mixing bowl then, slowly pour the developer into mixture and use the applicator brush to gently mix the two together. 

Next starting from the bottom of the hair moving of the hair towards the top apply the mixture, saturating the hair as much as quickly as possible, being cautious not to miss any spots. The bleach will begin to heat up and tingle on your scalp as it works to strip the color.  Processing time is usually 30-45 minutes. Keep an eye on your hair, checking the tone periodically. You want to achieve a pale, golden blonde shade before rinsing. Rinse the bleach thoroughly with cool water until the water runs clear. Shampoo and condition the hair carefully, as bleached strands can be fragile. 

Here are the steps for mixing hair dye to create a hot pink color:

First, you'll need to gather your supplies - the pink hair dye, a non-metallic mixing bowl, and an applicator brush. Make sure to wear gloves to protect your hands from the dye.

Start by squeezing the desired amount of the pink hair color into the mixing bowl. The amount will depend on the length and thickness of your hair, but err on the side of using more rather than less. You want to make sure you have enough to fully saturate all your hair.

Once fully mixed, the hot pink hair dye is ready to be applied to your hair. Work in small sections, painting the color on from roots to ends using the applicator brush. Make sure to get full coverage and not miss any spots.

After applying the dye, let it process for the recommended time on the packaging, usually 20-30 minutes. Applying heat will aid in saturation of the color into the hair as well as lengthening the amount of time hair will stay vibrant and free from any fading..

Next rinse thoroughly with cool water until the water runs clear. Shampoo and condition as usual.

The end result should be a vibrant, eye-catching hot pink hair color that makes a bold statement. Have fun with your new look!
