You can subtly change or change the color of your hair, simply cover your hair with gray hair or create highlights, turn your hair blue, purple, or pink, or a combination of different colors. Your natural hair color is gone after bleaching, and now your hair is ready to take on the new color. This can be a long and careful process, so choose a time when you are not too tired and able to focus on achieving the results you want.
Steps
Method 1 of 6: Use store-bought dyes
Determine the desired hair color. After bleaching your hair, you need to determine the color of the hair you want to have. The hair cuticle is broken down during the bleaching process, allowing hydrogen peroxide (the main ingredient in hair bleach) to penetrate into the hair fibers and discolor the hair. Depending on the natural color of the hair and the length of time it takes to store hydrogen peroxide in the hair, hair after bleaching can be yellow, white or reddish. Now your hair is ready for color, and it will color much faster and deeper than if you didn't bleach it. You can choose to dye natural colors like shades of brown, black, red or yellow, or vibrant colors like cherry red, blue, purple, pink, or others. For a more natural color effect, you should choose a color that is only 1-3 tones away from your natural hair color.
- Consider the base color of your hair after bleaching and the base color of the hair dye you plan to use. These two colors can be mismatched and give unexpected results. If the bleached hair is yellow and the dye is blue, your hair may turn green after dyeing. On the contrary, a purple base dye will complement the blond color of the hair and look better. You can view the color wheel to choose the right color. For the base color of your dye, look for a "palette list" or similar item on the manufacturer's website, in which they classify colors as warm, cold, and neutral tones. You can also buy a variety of hair dye ingredients at cosmetic stores. On the packaging of these products will clearly indicate their original color (eg blue, blue-purple, purple, purple-red, red, etc.). If you pay attention to the color scheme of your hair dye, you will reduce the risk of dyeing your hair not turning up.
- Look back at your hair color in your childhood photos. This will help you know how your hair will react to certain colors. Hair with warm tones (honey blond or similar) will respond better to warm colors. Likewise, hair with a cool tone (ash blond, chestnut brown) will have a cool tone after dyeing.
- Remember to consider the work environment when dyeing your hair; Many agencies believe that unnaturally colorful hair colors are unprofessional.
Determine how long you want to keep your hair color. A variety of hair dyes are available on the market, including permanent, semi-temporary and temporary types, each with a different fastness time. You can buy these hair dyes at a cosmetic store or supermarket.- Permanent dyes are very stable in color and can be colored very naturally. These dyes can also produce vibrant or striking colors. However, permanent dyes can damage hair because they are very strong and need to stay in the hair for a long time when dyeing.
- Semi-permanent dyes are less durable than permanent ones and usually retain their color through 20-25 washes. This can dye your hair 1-2 tones darker and can also form striking highlights.
- Even temporary dyes with a shorter holding time are available.
- Semi-temporary dyes have a more natural color and usually retain their color through 10 washes. This type does not require premixing but can be used right out of the box. Temporary dyes will fade gradually, especially when exposed to air and shampoo. These generally do not contain ammonia or peroxide, so they are better for weak or damaged hair.
- Temporary dyes are often used to color-enhance or test a variety of hair colors. This can include dyes, cream foams, spray, dye powder, and dye wax.Temporary dye coats the strand of hair instead of dyeing the core of the strand, so the color will fade in 1-3 washes. You may experience a bad hair color after the color has been temporarily faded away. For example, if you bleach your hair and use a temporary blue dye, you will probably have green hair after the blue color has been washed off.
Condition your hair first with deep conditioner. Used 1-2 days before dyeing bleached hair, a deep conditioner will provide hair with moisture lost during bleaching. There are many types of deep conditioner available, from affordable or expensive store products to homemade conditioner. There are recipes for making deep conditioner, basically based on food ingredients. You can search online for "recipes to make a deep conditioner", which includes recommended ingredients such as bananas, avocados, mayonnaise, yogurt, eggs, coconut oil or other foods. This step will help reduce the dry brittle hair after dyeing by adding moisture to the elasticity of the hair, ie the hair's ability to restore its natural shape. A deep conditioner before bleaching is ideal, but if that is not possible, you should still use a deep conditioner before dyeing again.
Using protein essences for hair. The protein essence fills holes in the hair, gives the hair a more even color, and also adds color to the hair. Protein is also commonly added to hair dyes. To add protein directly to your hair, you can put a small amount in the palm of your hand and spread it all over your hair. You do not need to rinse this product thoroughly before dyeing. Another use is to add a very small amount of protein essence to your hair dye (if you add too much protein essence, the dye will become thin and smudge).- To adjust the hair color, you can also use protein essences. For example, if you want to dye your bleached hair a golden color to a warm brown, you will need all three basic colors (red, yellow, blue) to apply it to your hair. In this case, yellow is the color of bleached hair. As such, you should use a red protein essence with an ash brown dye with a blue tone. When combined, these colors will produce the correct color.
Try skin reactions. This step may seem like a bit of time when you want to start dyeing your hair, but it is an important step to avoid a severe skin rash (or worse) if you accidentally have an allergic reaction to anything. somewhat in the dye. To test the skin reaction, apply a little dye to the skin behind the ear and let it sit for 24-48 hours. Check for signs of an allergic reaction such as redness, itching, or burning at the test site. If there are signs of an allergy, even mild, try a different dye. Be sure to also test the skin reaction to the new one.
Prevent dirty stains. Chemical hair dyes can easily stain your skin and hands, so it's important to protect your skin carefully. Wear old gloves and towels to cover your clothes. Apply a small amount of Vaseline cream along the hairline and neck to prevent dyed skin staining. Have an alcohol-based toner bottle (skin toning water) ready to wipe off any spilled dye from your skin, table top or floor.
Mix the dye. If you are using permanent dyes, usually you will need to mix the dye with the dyeing aid to get the correct color. Follow the instructions on the product packaging to mix properly.
Try the dye on the hair. Grab a few small strands of hair at the back of the nape and apply the dye, starting with the roots down the ends. Schedule the timer correctly for the time recommended in the instructions (approximately 20 minutes). Rinse or wipe off the dye and place the hair on a white towel to check the color. This step will help you know if your post-dyeing color is satisfactory before dyeing your entire hair. Thereby you can also estimate how long dye retention time in your hair.
Apply the dye to your hair. Divide hair into 4 parts. Clamp 3 parts while dyeing the fourth part. Spread the dye over each section of hair about 2.5 cm wide, starting from the roots to the ends of your hair, making it really dark. Once you have spread all 4 parts of your hair, rub it all over your hair as if you were washing your hair. Remember to read the instructions on the dye box for how to use it.
Timer. Read the instructions on the dye kit for what is the recommended retention time. Usually, you will leave the dye on your hair for 20 minutes or more, starting with the time you apply the dye to the last part of your hair.
- Some dyes even recommend a hairdryer for more effective color treatment.
Rinse off the dye and apply conditioner. Gently rinse the dye with warm water until the dye clears. Use the conditioner package included in the dye kit to massage your hair. Leave conditioner on for the recommended length of time on the package and rinse it off.
Use a towel to dry your hair or let it dry naturally. A hairdryer will further dry the hair and can be severely damaged in a weak state. Don't judge your hair color without drying it. Wet hair is always darker.
Avoid washing your hair for 2-3 days. Water, soap and heat can reduce the dye's adhesion to the hair, causing the color to wash off. After dyeing, you should leave it for 3 days to allow the dye to penetrate into the cuticles of your hair that are already open while dyeing your hair. You can dye it again if the color is washed away after washing it, but there is a risk of further damage to your hair. If you find that bleached hair is not going to color, you may want to visit a hair salon for a professional recovery.
Hair care. Your hair will be brittle and dry after dyeing so it will need a deep nourishment to restore moisture and elasticity. Use a deep conditioner (commercial or natural) at least once a week, wait about 20-30 minutes, then rinse. It may be more effective if you heat your hair with a dryer while storing conditioner in your hair. If you make your own deep conditioner using food ingredients, check it to make sure it isn't spoiled. If your homemade conditioner has been mixed for a few days (or a week if refrigerated), throw it out and mix it fresh.
Replenish every 6-8 weeks. If you are satisfied with your newly dyed hair color, you may want to continue maintaining the color. Even if you choose a permanent dye, the color will start to fade and your natural hair color will grow in 6-8 weeks. However, you do not need to dye the entire hair, just focus on the roots, apply the dye to the scalp and brush down the rest of the hair before the time to stay on the hair.
- For the best coloring, apply dye to the newly grown hair and stop until the dyed part is reached.
Method 2 of 6: Staining with food coloring or similar foods
Determine your desired hair color. After bleaching your hair, you need to decide which color you want to dye. The cuticle of the strands of hair is broken down during the bleaching process, allowing hydrogen peroxide (the main ingredient in hair bleach) to penetrate the hair strands and remove color. Depending on your natural hair color and how long bleach stays in your hair, your hair will now be blond, white, or reddish. Food colors usually come in 4 colors (red, yellow, green and blue), each of which can be mixed with another color to create a color scheme for you to choose from. For example, red with green produces brown, while yellow mixed with red will be orange, and blue mixed with red produces purple.
- Be sure to consider bleached hair color as well. The color of the hair also plays a part in the end result.
Mix the dye. Mix a few drops of food coloring with shampoo in an empty shampoo bottle. Mixing ratio is 6 drops of food coloring for every 30 ml of shampoo. You need to mix enough shampoo to cover the part of the hair you want to dye. Stopper the shampoo bottle and shake to dissolve the mixture. Add 1 tablespoon of water and cover. Shake for another 2 minutes, so you have the dye to use.
Try the color on your hair. Grab a small curl of hair behind the nape of the neck and apply the dye to your hair, starting with the roots of the hair down the ends. 20 minute timer and color test. Add more time if the color is not up. Rinse or wipe off the color and place hair on a white towel to check again. This step will help you know if your hair color is the way you want it to be before dyeing your entire hair, and you also have an estimate of how long the color will remain in your hair.
Apply the dye to your hair. Divide hair into 4 parts.Clip the 3 hairs back while dyeing the fourth part. Use your hands to apply the dye to your hair, starting with the roots down the ends. Once you've applied the dye to all four parts of your hair, smooth it over your hair like you're washing your hair.
Cover your hair and start a timer. Cover your hair with an old shower cap and let the dye stay on for 30 minutes to 3 hours, however dark you want. Start timing from the moment you applied the last part of your hair.
Rinse your hair clean. Gently rinse the dye off with warm water until the water is clear.
Dry hair. Use a towel or hair dryer to dry your hair. You can also let your hair dry naturally. This is not a chemical dye so your hair will not become brittle, and you can use a blow dryer to dry it right away.
Avoid washing your hair for 2-3 days. Water, soap and heat can reduce the color's adhesion to the hair and the color will be washed away. After dyeing your hair, you should let it sit for 3 days to allow the dye to penetrate into the hair cuticle. Your hair color may not be as expected after it has faded. For example, if you have bleached your hair and dyed it bright red, you will probably have orange hair after the red color has faded away. advertisement
Method 3 of 6: Dye your hair with Kool-Aid juice powder
Dye dipped hair with Kool-Aid juice powder. Dipping dyeing is the process of dipping the ends of the hair in a dye bath. This is easier than dyeing the entire hair, as dyeing with Kool-Aid is more difficult to control than with regular hair dye (because the dye is liquid instead of cream). The dye can quickly stain and stain the skin.
Select and mix the Kool-Aid powder. Choose sugar-free and flavored Kool-Aid powder that will give you the color you want. Tropical punch flavors give a brighter red color, Cherry gives a darker red, Black Cherry blends with Strawberry give a bright red color. You also need to take into account bleached hair color, as this is also a factor that contributes to the overall color mix. Pour 1 cup of warm or hot water into a bowl. Mix 3 packs of Kool-Aid powder and 2 tablespoons of white vinegar in a bowl of water and stir to make sure the Kool-Aid powder is completely dissolved.
Test the hair color. Grab a few small strands of hair on the back of the neck and dip it into a mixture of Kool-Aid colors. 20 minute timer and color test. Add more time if the color is not up as expected. Rinse or wipe off the color and place hair on a white towel to check again. This step will help you know if your hair color is right for you before dyeing all your hair, and you will also estimate how long your hair will be soaked in the Kool-Aid mixture.
Dip your hair in the dye. Tie your hair in a ponytail and dip the entire ponytail into the Kool-Aid mixture. You will have to sit still for about 30 minutes while soaking your hair, so prepare a book or movie for fun while you wait. Timer to keep track of time.
Rinse hair. Gently rinse hair with warm water until the water is clear.
Dry hair. Use a towel or hair dryer to dry your hair. You can also let your hair dry naturally. This is not a chemical dye so your hair will not dry out brittle, so you can use a dryer to dry your hair immediately after dyeing.
Avoid washing your hair for 2-3 days. Water, soap and heat can reduce the adhesion of the color to the hair and cause the color to wash off. You should let it sit for 3 days to allow the dye to penetrate into the hair cuticle. Your hair color may not be as expected after it has faded. For example, if you have bleached your hair and dyed it bright red, you will probably have orange hair after the red color has faded away. advertisement
Method 4 of 6: Dye your hair with coffee
Tinting. The dye from coffee will give you chocolate brown hair. Make a very dark pot of coffee and let it cool. Pour 1 cup of freshly brewed coffee and 2 cups of dry conditioner into an empty shampoo bottle. Add 2 tablespoons of coffee grounds and stir well.
Apply the dye to your hair. Divide hair into 4 parts. Clip the 3 hairs back while dyeing the fourth part. Use your hands to apply the dye to your hair, starting with the roots down the ends. Once you've applied the dye to all 4 parts of your hair, spread the dye all over your hair like you're washing your hair.
Cover your hair and start a timer. Cover your hair with an old shower cap and let the dye stay on for about an hour. Start timing from the moment you applied the last part of your hair.
Rinse your hair clean. Gently rinse your hair with apple cider vinegar to help the coffee color stick to your hair, then rinse with cool water until the water is clear.
Dry hair. Use a towel or hair dryer to dry your hair. You can also let your hair dry naturally. This is not a chemical dye so your hair will not dry out brittle, so you can use a dryer to dry it right after dyeing.

Method 5 of 6: Staining with herb or vegetable based dyes
Determine your desired hair color. After bleaching your hair, you need to decide which color you want to dye. The cuticle of the strands of hair is broken down during the bleaching process, allowing hydrogen peroxide (the main ingredient in hair bleach) to penetrate the hair strands and remove color. Depending on your natural hair color and how long bleach stays in your hair, your hair will now be blond, white, or reddish. Herbal or vegetable dyes can give you natural colors without the risk of dyeing with harsh chemicals. Tea, henna and other herbs are useful and effective in coloring hair. Tea can come in a variety of colors, from brown or black to golden or red. You can use black tea to dye the colors dark, use chamomile tea to beautify the golden hoe, and rooibos tea (South African black tea) for the red hues. Henna has a deep dark color and can be purchased in natural or herbal food stores. This ingredient also helps thicken hair as it wraps each strand of hair. You also need to take into account the color of your bleached hair, as this is also a contributor to the overall color mix.
Mixing colors. You can use the formulas listed here or search the web for more recipes for the correct proportions for the exact color you want.
- Use henna powder. Mix henna powder with chamomile or another lighter herb to reduce the intensity of your hair color after dyeing. Mix 2 parts henna powder with 1 part chamomile powder in a bowl (do not use a metal bowl). Pour in boiling water to make a paste, then stir 1 tablespoon of vinegar and let cool.
- Use tea bags or loose tea. Drop 3-5 tea bags (or loose tea with equivalent amount) in 2 cups of water and boil for 3-5 minutes. Let the tea cool and pour into an empty bottle.
- Use black walnut powder. For a very dark brown hair color, mix ¼ cup of black walnut powder with 3 cups of water and leave overnight. Use this conditioner to rinse your hair daily to maintain a dark and dark color.
- Go online to find other mixes. Type in the phrase "natural hair dye recipe" to find recipes that use other herbs like marigold petals, yellow chamomile, rosemary, and more.
Test the hair color. Grab a few small strands of hair on the back of your neck and apply the dye to your hair, starting with the roots down the ends. 20 minute timer and color test.

Remember to consider the working environment when choosing a dye color; Many agencies believe that unnaturally colorful hair colors are unprofessional. For a more natural color effect, you should choose a color that is only 1-3 tones away from your natural hair color.
- Look back at your hair color in your childhood photos. This will help you know how your hair will react to certain colors. Hair with warm tones (honey blond or similar) will respond better to warm colors. Likewise, hair with a cool tone (ash blond, chestnut brown) will have a cool tone when dyed.
Take a photo of your desired hair color to the hair salon. Find the color of hair you want to dye in magazines and take it with you when you go to the salon. This will help the hairdresser visualize your desired hair color.
- Magazines, social media Pinterest, and other media can give you photos for inspiration.
Consult a hairdresser. Hairdressers are experts in color mixing, highlighting and lowlight dyeing, and they know how to achieve the best hair color. They are taught the chemistry of hair dyes and how colors come together.
Tell your hairdresser if you are sensitive to hair dyes or other chemicals. They may suggest that you try your allergic reaction and make another date for your dyeing, or suggest you use a lighter dye that might be right for you.
Consider dyeing your hair at beauty school. The price of hair coloring at hair salons can be quite expensive, usually from a few hundred thousand or more. Beauty school is a training facility for hairdressers. They often cut their hair and do hairdressers for customers at low prices. Experienced experts will supervise the students 'work, instruct and correct mistakes and prevent the trainees from damaging the guests' hair. Prices will usually depend on the qualifications of the hair stylist.
Make an appointment to visit the hair salon next time. To maintain a beautiful hair color, you should visit a hair salon to re-color your hair every 6-8 weeks. advertisement
Warning
- Some doctors recommend that pregnant and lactating women avoid using chemical hair dyes. A small amount of chemicals will be absorbed through the skin and can pass into the fetus or breast milk. However, the amount of this chemical is not much, and the risk of transmission from mother to child is quite low. If you are concerned about this, you can consult your doctor or replace with natural dyes.
- Certain chemical dyes have been linked to cancer. Hair dyes that were formulated before the 1970s were found to be linked to cancer, so some of the ingredients have been changed. However, hair dyes today still use ingredients that are believed to pose a cancer risk. Studies on a direct link between hair dyes and cancer have shown mixed results. If you are concerned about this, consult your doctor or use natural dyes as an alternative to chemical dyes.
- Don't try to dye your eyelashes or eyebrows with chemical dyes. The dye can easily get into the eyes and cause severe irritation and even loss of vision. You should consult a hairdresser or esthetician to be safe and effective.
- The brighter your bleach hair color, the more vibrant your hair will come, especially pale pastel colors like red, pink, purple and blue. You should take this factor into account if you like subtle lightness.
