Choose the right shade of ash grey for your skin tone.

When choosing the right shade of ash grey for your skin tone, it’s important to note that cool skin tones should go for a blue-toned ash grey and warm skin tones should go for a green-toned ash grey. But if you’re not sure which tone you are, there is a quick and easy way of figuring this out: check the veins in your wrist. If they appear to be blue when exposed to sunlight or fluorescent lights, then you have cool undertones; if they appear greenish or golden under any type of light source, then that means you have warm undertones.

Be prepared for lightened hair.

To get the ash grey look, you’ll need to lighten your strands first. If you have dark hair, this means bleaching it first. The process of bleaching your hair can take hours—so make sure you have enough time in your schedule before starting! It’s advisable to use a lighter shade of dye on freshly-bleached strands because they’re more porous than virgin hair and will absorb more color.

A box of Clairol Natural Instincts Color Creme Lite (available at drugstores) costs $10 and will lift up to two levels when applied according to directions on its package; it looks like a giant crayon with a comb built into one end (the kind kids use when they play dress up). You’ll need two boxes if you want an actual ash grey color instead of a washed-out version of your natural shade; the second box is available for sale online if you run out before hitting the drugstore again.

After bleaching and toning out any brassy tones with purple shampoo or conditioner (DIY recipe here), apply an equal amount of dye from each box directly onto dry, pre-washed hair that has been brushed thoroughly beforehand but not sectioned off yet: just start at the bottom layer closest to where ear meets face and work upwards toward crown so that no part gets missed by either colorant; let sit for 30 minutes before rinsing under cool water until all traces disappear from skin surface without leaving behind any residue—except maybe some faint yellowish tinge where there used to be gray! Then repeat this procedure twice more over course weeks so all three applications really saturate roots down deep into shafts…

Always condition after coloring.

Conditioning your hair after dyeing it is important to keep your newly dyed color looking fresh and vibrant. It also helps to prevent damage, breakage and split ends.

You can apply conditioner either when your hair is wet or dry, but the best time is right after you shampoo and rinse out any excess water from the hair shaft. Try to leave it on for about three minutes before rinsing off completely with lukewarm water. If you have very long or thick locks, then an additional leave-in conditioner step may be required (after shampooing) for maximum benefit.

Protect your clothes when dyeing hair at home.

• Wear old clothes. Hair dye is permanent, so it’s important to take care of your wardrobe while you’re dyeing your hair. If you do happen to spill some on your favorite shirt or dress, the stain won’t come out easily, if at all. Put on something old that doesn’t matter if it gets stained, like an old t-shirt and leggings!
• Protect yourself with a towel over your shoulders and wear a hair cap. Your shoulders will get splattered with color as you’re rinsing out the dye in the shower—and this could get messy if you’re not careful! So cover up with an oversized towel draped over one shoulder and wear a swim cap or shower cap when rinsing out the color after you’ve dyed it to prevent any splashes from hitting other parts of your body (or face!).
• Take off all jewelry before applying any dyes because they may become discolored during application depending upon how long they remain wet with developer solution; adhesive tape can be used to protect areas around ears where earrings are removed; adhesive tape can also be used along forehead line above eyebrows as well as around neckline just below jawline on each side of face

Be patient about washing your hair after coloring it.

You must be patient about washing your hair after coloring it. You can’t wash it for three days and you’ll have to use a dry shampoo in the meantime to absorb the excess oil. It’s best to protect your scalp and hairline when you wash, as well as prevent color fading and keep your hair healthy.

Why should I wait to wash my hair after dyeing? Well, the longer you wait between treatments, the better chance you’ll have of avoiding damage from bleach or chemical processes! If there’s no way around getting wet (like in rain), try using a little bit of olive oil on damp strands before braiding them; this will help protect them from becoming brittle while they’re drying off.

With these tips, you can achieve the perfect shade of ash grey hair in the comfort of your own home!

If you’re looking for a cool-toned color that won’t clash with your wardrobe, ash grey is a great choice. It’s perfect for people with lighter skin tones and also works well on both blondes and brunettes. In fact, ash grey has become so popular that it’s been dubbed “the new grey” by some stylists!

As you can imagine, dyeing your hair ash grey at home requires a lot of patience and practice. But if you follow my tips below, you could end up with gorgeous new locks in no time!
