If you're a brand owner in the hair care industry, you've probably noticed that home hair coloring becomes popular. More consumers are seeking easy, effective, and safe ways to color their hair without the salon visit. As a result, hair color shampoos are a great solution, especially for beginners. They simplify the hair coloring process and offer a gentler alternative to traditional dyes. To attract your audience, it's important to help consumers and retailers understand how to use these products effectively. Here's a step-by-step guide that includes the key points beginners need to know.
Hair color shampoos are a best choice for beginners. Because they reduce many of the problems commonly associated with traditional hair dyes. Standard hair dyes often require mixing and precision application, but hair color shampoos offer a more simple way to use. These shampoos work directly into the hair like a regular shampoo. They make them more accessible for beginners.
In my experience, this simplicity is one of the biggest advantages. Beginners can easily add hair color shampoo into their regular washing routine. The process is simple and you can get obvious effect. Moreover, ammonia free hair color shampoos suit for people who have sensitive scalps or are concerned about harsh chemicals.
Before applying hair color shampoo, everyone need to follow a few basic steps to ensure the best results and protect your skin.
You should start with a color that's no more than two shades darker or lighter than your natural hair color. Choosing overly bold colors can lead to disappointing results especially for beginners. Many first-time users make mistakes on color selection. I've seen this fail when people try to change their hair too drastically in one go. It's more easier to manage and looks more natural in a gentle color transition.
Please always encourage your customers to perform a patch test 48h before applying the color shampoo to ensure they aren't allergic to any ingredients. This step is often overlooked, but it's important. Additionally, users can see how the color will turn out after strand test.
Since the scales of nails are similar to hair, it is recommended to wear gloves when using this product to avoid nail discoloration.
Next, divide the hair into four to six sections and secure each section with a hair clip. This makes it easier to evenly apply the shampoo to your hair, ensuring that no areas are missed.
Apply the hair color shampoo to each section, starting from the roots and working down to the tips. Massage the product into the hair, ensuring full coverage. Here's what actually worked for me: I found that applying a small amount at a time and massaging it in thoroughly gave the most consistent results.
After the application, it's important to leave the shampoo on for the recommended amount of time. Set a timer or use a phone alarm. Over-application can lead to dryness or uneven color.
Once the time is up, rinse the hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Follow up with a nourishing conditioner, it helps lock in moisture and keeps the color vibrant.
Gently towel dry the hair, being careful not to rub too aggressively. Let the hair air dry or use a blow dryer on a cool setting to finish the process. After drying, evaluate the color to see if it's even and meets the desired tone.
4.1 Skipping Patch Tests: This can lead to allergic reactions. It can be uncomfortable and harmful. Please remind your customers to always patch-test.
Not Sectioning the Hair: Beginners may skip this step in an attempt to speed up the process. This leads to uneven coverage, especially at the roots.
4.2 Leaving the Product on Too Long: This can result in unwanted color buildup or damage to the hair. Please always follow the recommended time.
Using the Wrong Color: It's easy to choose a color based on a picture without considering the underlying hair color. Beginners should choose shades that work with their natural hair tone to avoid unwanted results.
4.3 Post-Color Care Tips: After coloring, advise users to use a sulfate-free shampoo to preserve color and prevent fading. Washing hair too frequently will strip the color. Additionally, limit heat styling in the days following the application to maintain the integrity of the color. These tips help customers enjoy their new look for longer and maintain healthy hair.
In this guide, you have learned how to apply hair color shampoo, from picking the right color to applying it on your hair and taking care of your hair after application.
