Before dyeing your hair completely, do a little test to make sure you are not allergic to the dye and that the result will be exactly as you imagine it.
Steps
1 Put on the gloves that you find in the paint box. If you cannot find gloves, buy regular medical gloves from the pharmacy. If you do not wear gloves, the paint can get on your skin and nails, and they will stain. 
2 Select a strand. Do not select a strand at the crown of your head or in other visible areas. If you wear a ponytail, do not test on hair near the neck. It is best to take the strand somewhere in the ear area. 
3 Separate the selected strand into your hand, collect all the other hair so that they do not interfere with you, and so that no paint gets on them.
4 In a plastic bowl, mix one teaspoon of coloring cream with one teaspoon of developer and mix well.
5 Apply the color to your hair for 20-30 minutes, after this time, wash your hair as you usually do.
6 Wait 24 hours and see the color of the colored strand. If the skin turns red and begins to itch, this means that you are allergic to this paint, so you should never use it! If the color turned out to be very bright, then when you dye all your hair, keep the dye for less time. If, on the contrary, the color is not very saturated, then keep the dye on your hair longer. Good luck! 
7 Ready!
Tips
- If you have multiple hair extensions, paint those too.
- You can cut off a small strand and then test on it.
Warnings
- Do not take a very thin strand - you risk getting an incomplete and inaccurate result.
- It takes up to 24 hours for allergies to manifest, so be patient and wait for this time, otherwise you may be left without hair!
