how to dye virgin hair without bleach

    

Things You'll Need:

• good virign human hair  visit www.vimagehair.com
• Plastic Bowl/Dye Bottle
• Dye Brush (for bowl)
• Plastic gloves
• L'Oreal FOR DARK HAIR ONLY DYE
• 40 Volume Developer (I prefer Salon Care)

1. First of all....you need to know what color you are trying to get to. I am naturally a Dark Brown color, but my FAVORITE COLOR is Fire Engine Red.
2.  

3. This is an IMPOSSIBLE color to achieve unless I bleach my entire head first, which causes MAJOR DAMAGE!!!

4. Step One is basically  checking out the L'oreal FOR DARK HAIR ONLY section.

5.  These colors are designed for people with darker hair. If you have virgin hair, you have a better shot at getting your desired color.

6. Step Two is the actual process of dying your hair. I highly recommend having someone help you with this if you are not used to doing this alone.

7.  I have been doing this myself for 11 years and its still difficult for me to do alone. Not to mention VERY messy!

8. All you do is mix equal amounts of the hair dye (which comes in a tube) and 40 vol. developer. If you are using a bowl, make sure you mix the two very well and their are no lumps.

9.  If you are using a bottle, make sure you shake well so it is well mixed.

10. When applying the mixture to the hair, Start in the back at the nape of your neck where the hair is the darkest.

11. If you have virgin hair (never been dyed)the hair will all come out one color so it doesnt matter if you do your roots first or last or all at one time.

12. But if you have hair that has been processed many times or even one time before this, you will want to do the roots last and only leave the color on for 10 min.

13. The box will tell you how long to leave the color on for, I usually do 45 min. Always remember, once the color gets to the highest level it can get to,

14. the process will stop so you dont need to worry about over processing. I dont recommend leaving it in any longer than an hour though.

15. When rinsing the hair, I recommend doing it in the shower if you are by yourself. Using a sink gets pretty messy. Make sure that you use tepid or luke warm water.

16. After the water is running clear, you can shampoo and conditioning is a DEFINITE YES!!! When you wash out the conditioner, use cold water, or as cold as you can stand.

17. It will slam shut the pores in your hair and seal in the color. Always use cold water at the end of your conditioning to keep color a little longer, hot water will just help the fading
