Dying Your Hair Red with Special Effects

Red Hair

Red Hair is a very sexy and fun color to have especially if you want a color that will last more than 2 moths 4-8weeks. 

In this post you will see the different shades and steps you can use to maintain a good color.

This only applies to Special Effects Dye which in my opinion is probably the best brand to dye your hair if you want exotic colors. 

In order to get ready to dye your hair you have to prep yourself with things.

Buy a bleaching kit if its your first time and you don't know what peroxide or what kind of bleach to get buy the Manic Panic 30-40 volume depending on how dark your hair is. In my case after I finished my hair was a pale yellow with reddish highlights this is a good thing because your hair will be red!

 

Towel dry your hair you do not want to have wet hair when applying dye.

Once your hair is moist but not wet set up for the dying session.

1> Napalm Orange: One of my favorite colors to have and the funnest. It glows in black light and definitely vegan 100%.

After applying a good coat onto your bleached hair you must wait 45-1h to let it process and cover your head. 

Finally once you see it is nice and in, wash your hair with cold water until the water runs clear. It will not take long and it will be very bright. I classify it as a Red because in some lights it does look red also in the bottle.

Finally apply conditioner Ever Pure series from L'oreal to lock in the color. You should wash it once a week to keep the nice color in but as i soon learned this is a very hard color to fade. 

 

Now the next color Nuclear Red is from the same series and is even brighter. The same process must preceded and here are the lovely results.

One thing to take in mind is that although this looks fabulous it is a hazard to take care of and also you have to take in mind your roots will come in sooner or later.

Shampoo to use: Ever Pure from L'oreal it doesn't contain sulfate or any other harsh salts.

Buy the conditioner that accompanies it.

Oils you can buy which ever one for your hair type your hair might be a bit dry from the process so proceed and oil it up to give it a boost shine.

Finally enjoy the color. Also take in mind that depending on your exposure to UV light your hair color just might change.
