pre-lightening the hair

Before you can dye your hair orange, you have to lighten it. You can’t just go from full on dark brown to bright orange—the transition would be too jarring and make the color look unnatural.

This process will take some time, but the good news is that it will only require one trip to the salon for bleaching and another trip for dyeing. Once you’ve done these two steps, a few trips back and forth between home and the salon are all that’s needed to keep your locks vibrant!

The downside is that bleaching weakens hair strands, so use a deep conditioning treatment once a week after each bleaching session. This will help protect against breakage as well as dryness caused by frequent washing with shampoo (which strips moisture from hair).

the condition of your locks

In order to keep your hair in tip-top shape, you should use a conditioning treatment once a week. Conditioners can be bought at your local store or online. They come in many different forms and are suitable for all sorts of locks, including curly, wavy and straight hair.

• If you have curly hair, look for a product that’s designed specifically for curlies—they usually contain added ingredients like jojoba oil or tea tree oil which help keep curls bouncy and shiny.
• If you have naturally straight locks, opt for something that’ll give your strands some bounce without making them greasy or heavy feeling (that’s never good). Look for sulfate-free shampoos with natural oils such as argan oil or coconut oil—these will condition without weighing down those voluminous waves!

If you’re still unsure about which one is right for you, check out this helpful chart from Good Housekeeping:

patch test dye beforehand

You should always perform a patch test before dyeing your hair for the first time. This is to make sure you don’t have an allergic reaction to the dye and that it will suit your skin tone.

• Choose a small area of unblemished skin that can be hidden easily with makeup or clothing – preferably at least four inches in diameter. A good choice would be on the inside of your wrist, as it’s easy to conceal with long sleeves or a watch strap.
• Apply some bleach (or lime green) hair dye onto the patch of skin and leave it on for 15-20 minutes before washing off with warm water.(Make sure you use gloves!) If there are no adverse effects after 24 hours, proceed with the actual application process!

wear clothes you don’t mind being splattered with dye

• Wear clothes that you don’t mind getting splattered with dye.
• Wear a head scarf (or a hat if your hair is short). This helps to keep any stray hairs from becoming stained.
• Put on some gloves and keep them on throughout the process. Not only will this help prevent dye from getting all over your hands, it can also serve as a barrier between the dye and skin if something goes wrong and it gets on there anyway (which happens sometimes).
• While stirring or rinsing out the color, try to keep the application process above your shoulders so that any splashes don’t get onto clothing below.

remove any makeup before dyeing

To make sure you get a nice, clean dye job, it’s important to remove any makeup from your face before you start. If you don’t do this, the color of your hair will be affected by what kind of foundation or concealer you used. You could use an oil-based makeup remover that won’t cause staining on clothing. Another option is to use pre-dyed shampoo or conditioner. This product can be found in most drug stores and supermarkets and is designed specifically for people who want orange hair dye but are worried about how much mess it’ll make in their bathroom!

You should also avoid getting any dye near your eyes during the process as this can irritate them severely and lead to irritation around the edge of eyelids.

Orange is a tricky color to wear – whether it’s clothing or as hair color.

• Orange is a tricky color to wear – whether it’s clothing or as hair color.
• It may fade quickly and require touch-ups every few weeks.
• It can be hard to bleach the hair with orange, so if you want your color to match with your skin tone, you’ll need to start with a darker shade of orange that matches your skin tone. You can also tone the hair after bleaching it in order to get a brighter shade of orange.If you’re getting blonde highlights put in your natural brown hair, these will most likely come out looking pinkish because there aren’t any red tones in them anyway.You’ll want to choose one that has decent reviews from other people who have used it before so there aren’t any surprises afterwards!
