When it comes to hair dye my personal preference is Reddish-Brown or Auburn. There are ample products to choose from and at present I'm not pushing any particular brand (No kickbacks!) however the manufacturers of hair coloring are not sweating this, since hair colors allow the individual to express their own will dramatically! And hiding gray hairs the business makes millions off of. No my concern is on the safety of using such products. We all know that some of us will risk anything to look better or glam-up our look, but you don't want to go bold in the process. By following a few basic tips you can enjoy the journey much better with more positive outcomes.
First lets be honest and put this out there, there are professional dye and hair care products available solely to haircare professionals and the stuff the public must settle over-the-counter. This is one reason why most hair care done at the beauty salon looks so superior, not to mention the stylist is properly trained. Never-the-less I still believe in making all salon products available to the general public. There are various types of hair color used in beauty salons and sold at your local store. Some are permanent and cannot be washed out with shampooing. Temporary colors can be washed out after a number of repeated shampoos depending on the brand you use. Henna comes from Mother Nature herself made from a plant to acquire my favorite colors of red and reddish-brown. Progressive hair colors (Just for men hair dye is a good example) transforms your hair color gradually making your hair just a little more obvious with each subsequent application of the product. This is good for those who want to gradually ease oneself into hue and for those who don't want every one pointing and saying,"Oh you dyed your hair".
Regardless of product used any product used incorrectly could land you in hot ugly water and all sorts of crazy looking colors, not to mention causing her hair to fall out right before your very eyes. All I'm saying is PAY ATTENTION TO ALL CAUTIONS AND ADHERE TO INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY!"
Common dictate that delicate areas such as pubic area, eye brows and I don't know who attempt it but I've better mention never attempt to color your eye lashes. True there are many people who have a natural talent for hair care but for amateurs some dye jobs are just to risky! You could permanently blind yourself and not matter how good your attorney may be if you attempt to sue(but it probably won't do much good since an injury incurred by misuse of a product is your responsibility and most hair products do label cautions clearly on their packaging) you can not regain your eye sight once blinded, so pay heed.
Always keep in mind that a patch text prior to using hair coloring is wise. This involves just using a small section of strands to test the product out prior to lathering up your entire scalp or Rub a small amount of color on on the inside of your elbow or behind your ear leave it there for 24 hours if you break out in a rash don't use the product. Keep in mind that when you go to her hair dresser she/he should also do a patch test.
For the child inhabited home include keeping your chemical home dyes & other hair care products on your childproofing list. You don't want your babies getting into this toxic situation. Children's skin is healthy but very delicate what works as a good hair product for you can burn the flesh off a child!
Adhere to time charts strictly-In fact use a egg timer to be on the safe side and for goodness sake don't leave the dye on longer than directed. From childhood I first noticed my beautician repeatedly rinsing my hair after a perm and use to wonder why, I'm older and wiser now and know that rinsing your hair thoroughly after dying is essential and so is a good conditioning and for dry brittle hair a deep warm oil a week or two post dying can only help.
If you suffer with allergies or chronic skin ailments such as Dermatitis you must take extra care and consult your health care provider or dermatologist before hand. In any case you need to wear protective gloves. Keep in mind that hair streaking is just as potentially harmful to your scalp as dying(But who doesn't or hasn't had a little streak at some time in your life). When it comes to streaking don't mix chemical or different hair dyes together you could wind up with a lethal hiar and scalp cocktail there.
Once you've dyed your hair be aware of some potential warning signs that something may be wrong such as: Itching/rash.raw scalp
Hair loss
Redness around hairline, back of neck and of course your scalp.
Burning obviously is a red flag!
Swelling in the face may indicate a negative allergic reaction to the product.
Any trouble breathing or shortness of breath (SOB) may indicate a severe allergic reaction & can be potentially life threatening contact your nearest emergency room immediately/stat.
Having state a few facts and safety tips I can knock yourself a new hair color can be invigorating and is a easy, safe, and affordable quick make-over when done right. Cheers!
