The holiday season is approaching, and with it, a host of new resolutions. Have you decided to change your hairstyle by trying an at-home hair dye? You've come to the right place! Here are our essentials for doing your own hair color.
1) Put on gloves
Use gloves when coloring your hair to avoid irritating and staining your skin.
2) Prepare your hair color
Mix the developer with the hair dye, remembering to shake the bowl to get a homogeneous mixture.
- Cream developer – Beautélive
3) Apply the product
First, apply the product to the roots, sectioning off several parts. Once the roots are done, distribute the product over the lengths and ends.
- Applying hair dye requires the use of a brush
4) Rinsing
Leave your color on for the indicated processing time. Before rinsing, emulsify the color dry to detach it from the scalp, then rinse thoroughly with clear water.
- Once the product is rinsed, use a special shampoo to prevent the color from fading.

The basics for at-home hair coloring
In addition to following the instructions on the hair dye packaging, there are also some basics to know for optimal results.
- Do an allergy test : Apply a little coloring cream behind the ear and wait 48 hours. If nothing happens, you can proceed with the coloring.
- Mix thoroughly : For the molecules to mix well, ideally, mix for 1 minute.
- Use a Post-Color shampoo : Residues from the coloring will be cleaned and the hair's pH will be regulated.
Tips for bleaching:
- Do not stir the powder and developer mixture : Bleach is kneaded, it is important not to use a metal bowl.
- Do a strand test : To see how the hair will react to the bleaching.
- Let it process : Let the product process for as long as advised, otherwise the result may turn yellow/orange.
