How Do You Cover Red Hair Dye?
Covering red hair dye with a darker hair color is extremely easy. In fact, the easiest hair-color jobs are those that deposit color to correct or cover an existing dye job. The most important factor in covering red hair dye is color selection. Previously colored hair has a tendency to “grab” or “soak up” color. If you choose a color that is the exact color you desire, you may be disappointed when the color turns out a shade or two darker than you anticipated. To prevent this from happening, choose a color that is one shade lighter than the desired shade. Pour equal parts of hair color and developer into the color bottle. Close the lid and shake the bottle until the color is completely blended with the developer. Part your hair directly in the middle. Create a second, horizontal part from ear to ear and across the top of the head. Your hair should now be in four sections. Pin the sections with hair clips. Place a towel over your shoulders to protect your clothing. Put on latex gloves. R
