Before You Go Pink
Here are some useful tips that you should use before using pink dye, and other after care tips that you need to follow for maintaining your hair color longer.
You Need to Bleach: No matter what shade of pink hair color you pick, the first thing you need to do is bleach your hair. Wondering why? If you want to get a bright shade of pink color on your hair, then you need to bleach it. Even people who have naturally blonde hair, find the dye results better if the hair is pre-bleached. Hair bleaching will cause some damage to your natural hair, but don't worry the hair will grow back. Also, the temporary or permanent pink hair color dye will help you to condition your hair, so the texture of your hair will be maintained fine.
Pick an Appropriate Color: Now, there isn't like a big range of pink color shades available. Also, the shade of pink you see on the hair dye box, need not necessarily look same on your hair. However, it will be close. But, remember to bleach your hair before dyeing them. Manic Panic has the best pink hair color products. They have shades like Cotton Candy, Pretty Flamingo, Hot Hot Pink and Fuschia Shock. The shade hot hot pink is one of the most popular shades used by people, while the shade Pretty Flamingo glows under black light! So, pick a right shade of pink which you like.
Coloring Hair at Home: The pink hair color products are quite easy to use, you can just follow the instructions on the box to color your hair at home, so no need to go to a salon for hair coloring. However, make sure you are wearing disposable gloves while dyeing your hair, to protect the skin of the hand. All you need to do is bleach your hair, wash the hair, then apply liberal portions of dye to your hair covering the hair sections you want to dye properly, let the dye sit and then rinse it.
After Care Instructions: Protect your dyed hair from sun exposure, because some dyes actually are sensitive to UV radiation. Also, whenever washing your hair, the color is going to bleed so be careful while washing your hair. Use hair care products for colored hair like mild shampoo and conditioner. Also, your hands will turn pink if you are using a gel on your hair. Keep an old towel covering your shoulder and back while styling your hair.
