When coloring your hair for the first time, experiment cautiously and choose a color close to your natural shade. Going too drastic with colors like blues or purples could permanently damage your hair.<\/li>\n<li>Research brands before purchasing. When buying store-bought dyes, read reviews and research products before you purchase them. Good-quality dyes will help you achieve the best results and protect your hair from further damage.<\/li>\n<li>Have an idea of how much dye you need. Depending on the type of dye and length of your hair, you may need more than one box for full coverage. If unsure, consult with a professional stylist and ask for advice.<\/li>\n<li>Prepare your hair before dyeing. Before applying the dye, wash and dry your hair thoroughly or have it done professionally at a salon. Doing so will help ensure that the dye is evenly applied and easily absorbed by your hair.<\/li>\n<li>Apply the color in sections. To ensure even coverage throughout your hair, divide your hair into small sections and use a comb to separate each one. Start from the back of your head and work towards the front, making sure to saturate each strand with color.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-45\" src=\"http:\/\/www.handmadehabitatliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/coloring-your-hair-for-the-first-time-2-image.jpg\" alt=\"natural hair color\" width=\"1066\" height=\"571\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.handmadehabitatliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/coloring-your-hair-for-the-first-time-2-image.jpg 1066w, http:\/\/www.handmadehabitatliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/coloring-your-hair-for-the-first-time-2-image-300x161.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.handmadehabitatliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/coloring-your-hair-for-the-first-time-2-image-1024x549.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.handmadehabitatliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/coloring-your-hair-for-the-first-time-2-image-768x411.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.handmadehabitatliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/coloring-your-hair-for-the-first-time-2-image-395x212.jpg 395w, http:\/\/www.handmadehabitatliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/coloring-your-hair-for-the-first-time-2-image-819x439.jpg 819w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1066px) 100vw, 1066px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Follow instructions carefully. Applying too much or leaving the product on for too long can cause severe damage to your hair, so read instructions carefully and follow them precisely when applying any hair dyes.<\/li>\n<li>Rinse with cold water. When the dye has been left in for the desired amount of time, rinse it with cold water to prevent any further damage to your hair. Conditioning afterwards will help keep your hair hydrated and shiny.<\/li>\n<li>Be prepared for touch-ups. Depending on how often you shampoo and condition your hair, you may need regular touch-ups as the color fades over time. Also, be aware that touch-up appointments may be needed more frequently if you use permanent or semi-permanent dyes.<\/li>\n<li>Protect your scalp from staining. Use a barrier cream like Vaseline or coconut oil around your forehead, temples, and ears before applying dye so that those areas don&#8217;t get stained.<\/li>\n<li>Visit a professional stylist. If you&#8217;re unsure about the entire process, consult a professional hair colorist and ask for advice. They can help you pick the right color for your skin tone and give you tips on how to maintain it afterwards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to choose the right color for your first hair dye?<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to choosing the right color for your first hair dye, there are a few things you should consider. First, look at the natural color of your hair and think about how much change you want to make. Do you want to go darker or lighter? If going lighter, determine what shade best complements your skin tone. Warmer colors like golden blonde work well on medium and olive tones while cooler shades such as ash blonde look better with pale skin. For those looking to go darker, dark brown or black can be a good choice depending on individual preference.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-46\" src=\"http:\/\/www.handmadehabitatliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/coloring-your-hair-for-the-first-time-3-image.jpg\" alt=\"first hair dye\" width=\"900\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.handmadehabitatliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/coloring-your-hair-for-the-first-time-3-image.jpg 900w, http:\/\/www.handmadehabitatliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/coloring-your-hair-for-the-first-time-3-image-300x148.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.handmadehabitatliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/coloring-your-hair-for-the-first-time-3-image-768x378.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.handmadehabitatliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/coloring-your-hair-for-the-first-time-3-image-395x194.jpg 395w, http:\/\/www.handmadehabitatliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/coloring-your-hair-for-the-first-time-3-image-819x403.jpg 819w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You should also take into account any underlying pigmentation in your hair that will affect the outcome of dyeing it. For example, gray hairs tend to take permanent dyes better, meaning the color will be more intense. Blondes who are looking to go darker should choose a medium brown dye that won&#8217;t show up too dark against their natural hair color. To avoid any brassiness, brunettes with underlying reddish tones should opt for dyes with cool or ash undertones.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, you want to consider the overall look you&#8217;re trying to achieve. If your goal is an ombr\u00e9 effect or highlights, consider getting a professional dye job, as DIY methods can be unpredictable and produce unsatisfactory results. Professional stylists will be able to create a customized look using various techniques and products that cater specifically to your individual needs.<\/p>\n<p>With these tips in mind, you can confidently choose the right color for your first hair dye. Then, with some research and guidance from a professional stylist, you can find the perfect shade that will leave you feeling fabulous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone loves to look stylish, but sometimes it&#8217;s hard to afford the latest and greatest in fashion.
