How To Die Your Hair Brown (with Pictures)
Part 1: Preparing
Step 1: Preparing for the Hair Dye
- Buy hair dye. You can buy it online or at the drugstore. Make sure it’s a brown shade, not black or blonde.
- Buy gloves that go up to your elbows. Also get some shampoo, conditioner and other hair products to help keep your hair healthy while you’re dying it brown.
- Get a mirror that has one side that magnifies so you can see where you’re applying the dye with more detail than just looking in the mirror normally would provide (you’ll want to see if there are any spots on your scalp where there isn’t enough coverage). And get yourself a towel large enough for all of your hair so it won’t drip onto anything else in the bathroom when wet after washing out all of those chemicals from being dyed on purpose over six hours ago!
Part 2: Coloring Your Hair
- Wear gloves to protect your hands.
- Mix the color in a bowl, using the ratio on the box.
- Apply the dye to your hair with a brush or foam applicator bottle. The color should be applied to dry hair (if you just washed your hair, wait for it to dry first). Make sure that all of your hair is covered and apply more product if needed; don’t worry about getting too much on—you can always rinse it off later.
- Leave on for at least 30 minutes (according to most brands), but up to an hour if you want darker results or have very thick or long hair. Check out our chart below for specific times based on what type of application method you’re using:
Part 3: Toning It Down
You can also use a toner to neutralize an unwanted yellow or orange hue in your hair. Toning is the process of applying a color that’s opposite from your natural shade. So, if you have cool tones like ash brown, beige, and platinum blonde, you can apply warm colors like copper and red to tone them down. If you have warm tones like golden brown or chestnut highlights, then cool colors like violet or blue will help tone them down.
- Apply toning pigments with a brush.
- Put the dye on your hair and let it sit for 5 minutes before washing it out with shampoo and conditioner (make sure not to use any other products while the dye sits on your hair).
Part 4: Dying Your Hair Brown
- Do a strand test first.
a. Take 2 strands of your hair and apply the color from the root to the tip of each strand.
b. Wait for 30 minutes and rinse it out. If you don’t like the result, go with a different shade of brown or another hair dye brand altogether!
- Choose a color that matches your skin tone: Most importantly, choose a shade that is within 2 shades of your natural hair color so that it blends well with your roots when they grow back in after dying them brown later on (see section 5). If you have dark eyebrows and/or grey hairs at temples or neckline, try using a darker shade than usual so that they won’t show up through light colored dyes (like reds) over time if they get adopted by others later on who may not know anything about this specific issue themselves yet either – so there’s no need for everyone else around here just yet anyway; but just make sure they’re not too dark because then people might think it looks unnatural since there are still other ways which can cause this problem***Section Header: Choosing A Color With High Quality Developers And Cool Tones
While reading through these steps about how exactly one goes about dying their haircolor brown again after having already done so once before; I realized something important about choosing which type of developer should be used during this process as well..
Dying your own hair isn’t hard, and can save you a lot of money.
The process of dying your own hair is not hard at all. It’s also cheaper than going to a salon, and you don’t have to worry about the stylist messing up your color. The key to dying your hair brown is that it’s permanent. You can go from blonde or red to black or blue, but once you do it, you’re stuck with that color for a while! It takes about three months for most colors (except red) to grow out completely. If you want lighter colors after that time period, then be prepared for some lightening treatments in order get the desired shade.
To start dying your hair yourself, start by purchasing a kit from a store near you: Sally Beauty or Ulta are two popular options where people shop for these products regularly without problems; however there are plenty more options available if these stores don’t carry what they need at first glance (or price point). The kits should all include everything needed except mixing bowls and brushes/spoons which can easily be purchased separately if necessary–just make sure they’re compatible with whatever kind of dye has been chosen before buying anything else besides those basic necessities!
