I think this look is so pretty. It's fun, trendy and not overwhelming.. and I am seriously considering giving in and attempting to do this to my own hair! Let's cross our fingers and hope it doesn't turn out a hot mess. The last thing i need is another hair disaster.. lol.
What you will need:
- hair bleach
- developer
- gloves
- a plastic bowl
- plastic brush (debatable)
- foils (aka. strips of tin foil)
- hair color
**Remember, for better results choose a brighter color! :)
The How To:
1. Section out hair
-what I do is pin up the majority of hair, except an under layer, and gradually release more hair until all the the tips have been applied with dye.
2. Mix the bleach with the developer
-the consistency should be that of icing
3. Apply bleach mixture to the tips of hair that you want dyed -make sure to cover completely!
-standard is 3" (personally, my hair is about shoulder length, so my tips will only be dyed about 1.5"-2" in order to not look too overwhelming)
**Continue until all tips are covered**
4. Heat ends with a blow dryer
**Before removing foil, check that the desired degree of bleaching is achieved, and compare the last foil to the first**
5. Remove foil and rinse tips with water and blow dry
6. Squeeze/pour color into a plastic cup and apply generously
7. Wrap tips in a plastic bag, and if the dye instructions say to do so, apply heat
8. Let the dye sit for 5 mins, and remove excess dye with paper towel
-to brighten the finished product, apply more dye
-the longer the stain sits on your hair, the better it will hold
9. Rinse ends with conditioner only
Tadaa!!
Now, if you the dip dye wasn't enough to satisfy your appetite, here are a few colorful inspirations. Enjoy!
I'll be posting pictures of my attempt at dip dye, so stay tuned!
