Dip dying is a fantastic hair technique that doesn’t require an excess amount of colouring products and is quickly and easily achievable. It’s great for helping an unsure Fashionista about what colour to dye her hair exactly as it allows a girl to experiment with as many funky colours as she want without dying her whole hair! To create a successful dip dye, professionals strongly suggest initially using highlighting or bleach kits to lighten the hair then proceeding to paint the tips of the strands with the desired colour, ensuring to blend the colour thoroughly to avoid a harsh colour contrast, that is unless this is the intended effect!
Just remember that when bleaching, unavoidably, hair will be damaged; it’s the effect of using bleach. To remedy this, opt for a specially designed shampoo and conditioner combo formulated to give life back to dyed, treated or damaged hair. Using weekly deep conditioning treatments will aid in renewal by helping to prevent and treat damaged, dry lengths.
