6 DIY Steps for Dyeing Your Hair Bundles
Before starting the dyeing process, there are a few things you need to keep in mind:
Firstly, get all the equipment you need. This will reduce your chances of making mistakes that will damage your hair. The tools you need include hair bundles, hair developer and hair color, a color bowl, rubber hand gloves, plastic wrap, a towel, aluminum foil, a tooth comb, and a brush.
Secondly, a strand test should be done to see how well the color sits on the hair. Finally, mix the dye according to the instructions and apply it to a tiny strand or section of the hair.
Finally, spreadsheets of tin foil on your table or countertop where you’ll be dyeing your hair to prevent stains. Once you’re done with these preparations, you can start dyeing your hair bundles by following these steps.
1. Prepare The Hair For Dyeing
Diving headlong into wig dyeing without hair preparation leaves the hair looking dry and damaged. So, before applying any color, wash the hair with shampoo and detangle it with a tooth comb. This helps to remove any residue that might be sitting on the hair. After this, leave the wig to dry naturally by placing it on a towel. It is advisable to use this method, as hairdryers can make the wig too dry.
2. Determine The Most Appropriate Hair Color
Every wig has the appropriate colors it can withstand. The right colors, in this context, refer to colors that are close to the wig’s color tone. For example, if your wig bundles are dark, you should dye them with similar dark shades instead of warm colors like red or orange. It might seem that there isn’t much difference since they are all dyes. However, drastic color changes tend to shock the hair, leading to damage and breakage over time.
3. Prepare The Hair Color Mixture
Dyes contain toxic substances that are harmful to the skin, so ensure you protect your hands by wearing rubber gloves. After this, please read through the instructions with the dye to see the best way to apply it. It’s easy to overlook these instructions, especially if you’re familiar with them. However, paying attention to these instructions is best because it’s easy to miss a step that could help avoid damage to your hair bundles.
4. Coat Your Hair Bundles
Now that your dye mixture is ready apply it to the hair parts you wish to dye. To do this:
- Lay your wig bundles on your countertop, already covered with foil paper.
- Use your applicator brush to stir the dye mixture and saturate the hair with dye.
- Ensure you do this gently and according to the instructions on the dye pack.
- Cover the hair bundles with plastic wrap and leave them to sit for a while, as specified in the instructions.
- Rinse off Excess Dye
This involves using water to rinse off any excesses that might have come on the hair while you were applying the dye. Use warm water for this rinsing process to ensure a more thorough color removal. In addition, it helps the hair not appear too thick and prevents hair damage.
5. Wash and Dry The Dyed Hair
Now it’s time to wash the hair with shampoo and conditioner. You can rinse the hair or real hair wig with cold water for this process since most of the excess dye has come off. Once you’re done, dry the hair by gently patting it with a towel and leaving it to air dry.
With these steps, you’ve achieved your desired hair color that will turn heads. As you use those hair bundles, ensure you properly store and care for them. This helps the colors to maintain a vibrant and lustrous look for a long time.
