Use different semi-permanent hair colors to give your hair dimension.
Semi-permanent hair color is the choice of dye for many women, as it does not contain ammonia and only has a small amount of peroxide. Because of the minimized chemicals, semi-permanent hair color is much gentler on hair, leaving it less damaged and dry after coloring. Semi-permanent hair color typically lasts up to 28 shampoos, then fades to a translucent version of the original color. Applying several different semi-permanent hair colors to your hair will give your locks depth and dimension. Use hair foils to separate your hair when dyeing.
Instructions
1. Part your hair as your normally would. Take the tail end of the rat tail comb and create a part in your hair that goes from ear to ear. Clip the rest of the hair up.
2. Mix the semi-permanent hair colors in separate bowls, following the manufacturer's directions. Use a separate tint brush to mix each color. Wear latex gloves when using hair color.
3. Pull a chunk of hair from the front of the clipped hair--the hair around your face--about 2 to 3 inches thick with the tail end of the comb. Or, make the piece as thick you would like the first block of color.
4. Fold the short end of the first foil about 1/4-inch over the tail end of the comb. Push the tail up underneath the chunk of hair so that the hair falls over the length of the foil.
5. Brush the first semi-permanent hair color onto the chunk of hair with a tint brush. Make sure to fully saturate the hair. Fold the foil up twice to hold the hair in place, then slip the tail of the comb out.
6. Repeat Steps 3 through 5, alternating between colors. Use different colored hair foils to keep track of where each color is going. Keep adding foil layers up to the crown of your head.
7. Apply one or two shades of the semi-permanent color to the loose hair beneath the ear-to-ear part with your hands, fully saturating the strands. Make sure to wear latex gloves. It is not necessary to separate the hair with foils.
8. Let the hair color process for between 15 and 20 minutes, or as directed by the manufacturer. Remove the foils and rinse your hair thoroughly with cool water. Saturate your hair in a color-protecting cream conditioner, then rinse until the water runs clear. Towel-dry your hair and style as usual.
