WITHOUT the professional price tag $$$
I love to color my hair, but I don't love forking over the big bucks to have somebody else do it for me. I also don't like the gamble you take by using boxed hair color kits! Seriously your gonna tell me my hair's gonna turn out JUST like the model on the box??? RIGHTTTT!!!
What I DO love......Sally Beauty Supply!!! The people that work there are super helpful, the products are awesome and really so, so cheap!!!
Try it one time and you'll never buy a boxed hair color again!!! (seriously there is no telling how long that stuff has sat on a shelf either in the store or in the warehouse)
What you'll need.....(well your color choice may be diff ha ha)
(talk to the professionals at Sally to find out your NEEDS)
this is a list of my favorites that I now buy every 6-8 weeks
All for around $10
*ION Color Brilliance Cream 4A-4.1 (med ash brown)
*ION 10 Volume Developer (for heavy greys you might need 20 vol)
*UNRED Color Additive (tones down the brassy's)
*Gloves
*Mixing Bowel (cleaned out sour cream container ha ha ha)
*Color Brush
*Vasoline (to apply around hairline)
*Baby Wipes (to clean up messy's)
step 1...with hair pulled back apply a good coat of vasoline around hairline around forehead and on ears...it repeals the haircolor from your skin...don't get in your hair tho or it won't color either.
step 2...squeeze entire tube of creme into plastic bowel
pour equal amount of developer in
squeeze in unred packet
use color brush to mix together until your get a creamy whipped
frosting texture
3rd...start applying hair color all around your hairline
4th...next part hair down the middle with the pointy end of brush
5th...brush coloring on both sides down the part on your roots only about 2-3 inches depending on new growth amount
6th...continue making parts and applying to roots all along your head
(starting with the roots to insure even coloring throughout...the older hair on your ends soaks up the coloring faster then the fresh roots)
7th...Once you get finished with all of your roots then paint color onto the length of your strands
8th...work hair color through hair with your gloved fingertips, making sure there are no spots missed.
9th...Now the Waiting ha ha. Leave hair hanging loose while color developes (piling on top of head can cause blotchy spots) oh yeah wear a shirt you don't mind ruining (i use the same old shirt everytime).....my wait time is 30 mins, just follow directions on whichever kind you buy
10th...while you wait ***clean up using baby-wipes (seriously they are great for cleaning EVERYTHING)
***pluck your eye-brows
***paint your nails
***frost some cup-cakes (ha ha ha)
11th....time to rinse, jump in the shower and rinse till water runs clear, shampoo and condition as usual, blow-dry hair there you go!
much love & more to come
Jenny :)
