How to choose the ideal hair dye? 

Darling, to avoid a hair disaster, burn the following lines, because in them we specify everything you must take into account to get the perfect dye . Keep in mind that not knowing what type of product you are putting on, the wrong application or the wrong color can cause chaos. #ReadyToWOW? 

Types of hair dyes 

#BatisteLover, there are currently a lot of kinds of hair dyes , which are classified according to their duration and ingredients. Next, we give you some clues so you can discover which one suits you best. Let's go! 

Hair dyes depending on their duration 

• Permanent coloring: as the name suggests, they are hair dyes that do not go away with washing , so you will have to touch up the roots as the hair grows. They are the dyes of a lifetime, those that work thanks to an oxidation process. They are made up of a developer cream and a dye that, when combined, can change your hair color by up to 4 shades! #TipBatiste: this type of hair dye is recommended when you are looking for an intense color or want to cover gray hair . 

• Temporary or semi-permanent color: unlike the previous product, semi-permanent is a type of dye that washes out and usually lasts about 4 weeks or so. As it does not work with an oxidation or lightening process, it does not modify the original color of the hair. #TipBatiste: it is a perfect color for the most daring, that is, for those who are looking for a radical change of look , for example, for a special day. Are you one of them? 

• Vegetable coloring: have you heard of Henna and Indigo? When combined with Cassia they form the perfect match to add nuances and reflections to your hair . This type of coloring is very fashionable, because it uses vegetable ingredients to color the hair. #TipBatiste: if you want your hair to breathe new air, filling it with nuances, this is your dye 10. On the contrary, keep in mind that it does not cover gray hair, but shades it. Oh-My-Hair! 

 Hair dyes based on their composition 

• Coloration with synthetic ingredients: both permanent and semi-permanent coloration belong to this group. Cast? Because they are hair dyes whose formulation has been created in a laboratory , although it is true that they increasingly incorporate ingredients that take better care of the hair. 

• Vegetable coloring: as we have mentioned, it is a type of dye that uses natural pigments , adding color to your hair without affecting the structure of your hair. As always, we get wet. Every day we are more fans of vegetable coloring, we love the result: a mane full of natural reflections and a lot of light! 

#TipBatiste: If you would love to lighten your hair a couple of shades, you don't dare with dyes, and for whatever reason you don't have the chance to go to your usual beauty salon, don't panic , beautiful. This post bears your name: “ How to lighten hair at home with 4 ingredients ”. 

Follow our tips and hit the tone! 

 

• Did you know that the color of your skin is important when choosing your hair tone? If you are from the dark-skinned team , opt for reddish, brown or black shades . If you want a lighter shade, caramel, brown or, in some cases, dark blonde shades will suit you like a pop diva. On the other hand, if you are part of the team with pink or lighter skin, it is advisable to use light hair dye tones . Find out which hair color suits you best . 

• Even if you are very daring…  Pay attention to us and do not risk it at first with a fantasy style dyeing . Important: Experts do not advise changing hair color by more than two shades. Capisci? 

• If you have a lot of gray hair…  Don't worry, be happy . Just know that the result can be a little lighter than expected, especially when applying a very bright color, so keep that in mind when choosing a dye for your hair. 

• If you have previously colored hair and apply a very different tone…  Surprise! Usually the result is much less intense than expected, especially if it is a lighter color than the old one. However, if you wear a very light blonde dye or highlights , the finish will be more intense. 

• What happens when you have the most damaged hair? The condition of your hair is another important factor that you must take into account when choosing the dye that best suits you. The reason? The more porous your hair is, the more it will absorb the dye color. The result: a more intense color, mainly on the ends. 

How to dye your hair at home. Step by Step 

 

My friend , nervous to meet your new self? Now that you have your ideal dye, you are much closer to renewing your hairstyle , but first it is important that you prepare well all the material you will need to dye your hair at home : towels that can stain, clothes you do not use, gloves, tweezers, bowl and brush, aluminum foil, as well as Vaseline or a little cream to prevent stains on the skin.

1 # Always do an allergy test 

At Batiste, even if you apply the same dye as always, we recommend that you take a small test to check if your skin is reactive to hair dye . How? Very easy. Apply a little dye behind the ear and let it act for 24 hours. If no redness or irritation appears… go for it! 

2 # Comb and divide the hair into sections 

It detangles the hair very well . Make the part in the middle, so that your hair is divided vertically in two. And then make another partition that goes from ear to ear. In total you have to have 4 parts of hair, ideal to dye your hair little by little. Place a clamp on each of the sections to separate them. 

Wait a minute! Now is the time to apply Vaseline or cream to the contours of your face, ears, and neck to prevent the dye from staining your skin. oh! According to specialists, it is better that you do not wash your hair that day, what you read. The reason? Because freshly washed hair is much more susceptible to possible irritation. 

3 # Follow the manufacturer's instructions by heart 

 

So that you apply the dye and do not fall into the most frequent mistakes, follow the manufacturer's instructions to the letter. Remember to put on your gloves before you start. The truth hour has arrived! Prepare the mixture. All the products must be well integrated, until forming a homogeneous mixture with a slightly thick texture. That said, respect the proportions and times indicated in the prospectus (normally it is usually half an hour). 

4 # Rinse with plenty of water 

When the waiting time stipulated by the manufacturer has passed (never exceed it!), rinse your hair thoroughly, until the water runs completely clear. Objective: to make sure that there are no remains of pigments in your hair. Next! 

5# Follow our "TOP consideration for colored hair"

If you are also a DIY adventurer, you should know that there are many manufacturers already incorporating a care kit after coloring, which includes: serums, masks or conditioners. In addition to giving your hair shine and softness, these products help to close the cuticle, which guarantees that the color of the dye does not fade after washing . How do you stay?
