As a complement from the previous article The Hair factor there are some more tips to help all of you who wanna try dye their hair at home .Actually i do for years following those rules and i've never been disappointed by the result!
I have been to the almost extreme...I'm a naturally brunette and i have tried red,bronze,purple red and lately light brown.
As I've said in The Hair factor the tones that suit more to the brunettes are 3,4,5 or 6 ..and to the tones that suit to the naturally blondes usually are 1,2,7 ! But someone might be a naturally blond but looks better in warm tones (such as pink,red,orange yellow) or the opposite ! So she'll have to use a hair colour that has warm tones inside (3,4,5,6)
Extra advise always use a tone..don't use colours without a tone...they are very difficult as colours to look good on you.
Dont think that choosing a hair colour close to your natural will look good! if the tone is wrong it'll make you look pale,or extra pink ,it depends your skin!
Also for you that you are more daring and you wanna use a professional colour! (it mean you will buy the colour and then the peroxide of hydrogen extra) you can do mix-ups.You can take one natural hair colour (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 checkThe Hair factor) and combine it with an other with the same base ( or not but the numbers need to be close for example a 9 and an 8 or a 2 and a3) but the second will have the tone you want! The reason to do that is to be more sure for the result you want! For example I naturally have a hair colour 5.4 (i belong to the warm colours)and I wanted to go for a dark honey-colour so I used an 8 plus a 7.3 !So my base is something in the middle of 8 and 7 and my tone is 3 !
Now the most important think that no colourist wanna share with you a very important factor is the
peroxide of hydrogen ! They have numbers starting from 10-40! 40 is extra dangerous and i would not recommend using it at home ,it is usually used for beached! And now the point of those numbers is...that as many numbers of colour you wanna change if you multiply them with 10 you have the peroxide of hydrogen you need!for example if you have a 6 and you want to go for an 8 you need a peroxide of hydrogen number 20 (8-6=2 2*10=20!) If you have a 6 and you want a 9 then you use a peroxide of hydrogen #30 ,because 9-6=3 3*10=30
Here are some colour/tones to help you pick colour and tone! Rember always to choose correctly cold or warm!
Have fun! If you follow those tips comment your experience!!!
