Style it as you wish to really make the colour pop how you want it to, however please note that using heat on your hair will affect the longevity of Directions. Step 10 – Voila, you’re ready to glow! Combining multiple colours is simpler than you might think, but make sure you follow these seven golden rules before you get started. Before applying throughout your hair, mix different quantities of your chosen colours separately and see how they look with individual strand tests. To help make sure you don’t have to reach for the scissors or make an emergency salon appointment, separate your damp hair into at least four sections using hair clips or bands. This exposes all your hair to the colour, giving you complete coverage.

Lay down some old towels, newspaper or similar on the floor as well to catch any spillages. Put on a set of disposable gloves to make sure the colour can’t stain your fingers. Make sure to avoid using conditioner before application – conditioner eliminates natural oils that help the colour bind to your hair more easily.

Step 4 – Do a strand test

Treat your hair colour and the dye as though they are two paint colours you are going to mix together: e.g. Lagoon Blue on hair which is still a brassy colour will go greener then on the chart because you are mixing blue and yellow together. Colour illustrations are based on the application of virgin bleached white-blonde hair, original hair shade/colour will affect the results. If lightening your hair (which is recommended for best results): make sure you use a hot oil or intense conditioner. This will leave an oily layer so make sure to shampoo before dying. We hope this helpful guide gives you the confidence to find the colour that’s your perfect match, or to experiment and switch things up without breaking the bank on regular salon trips.
