Home VHS: Hair Dyeing at Home

Upbeat music.

Oh, hey there. Welcome to my salon. I'm Amy.

Did you know almost three fourths of American women dye their hair at least once a year?

Home dye kits are a booming business, but if it's your first time...

...or your previous attempts haven't gone well...

...I'm here to offer you some helpful advice.

Choose a dye shade close to your natural hair.

Dramatic changes should still be done at a salon!

Buy more dye than you need. You don't want to run out halfway though.

Begin by dyeing a few strands that won't normally show.

This is the best way to make sure you have the right color.

Lip balm around your hairline and on your ears...

...will stop your skin getting dyed too - not a good look!

Wear disposable gloves, and only dye dry hair.

Put the dye into a bowl and apply with a brush, beginning at the roots...

Use a second mirror to ensure even coverage.

Makeup wipes will remove any dye that gets on your skin.

If you want highlights, use a toothbrush or mascara brush.

With your dyeing done, put on a shower cap to prevent dripping.

Then, your job is to maintain your hair.

Use a color-friendly shampoo, don't wash your...

...hair with water, and don't let sunlight onto your hair.
