You can also mix another color in another bottle if you plan to dye the braids more than one color. Use less water if you want a more vibrant color.
Put on gloves before you begin to dye the braids.
If you want to add color to natural hair, then dye your hair first. It may not be safe to put the acrylic ink on your natural hair otherwise.
You can mix inks to create your own color.
If you want some overlap in color, insert a little bit of the first color into the dye.
If you decide to dye your own hair and mess it up, you can always call a professional to fix it. However, keep in mind that color correction services are typically more expensive than having your hair professionally dyed.
Buy two boxes of color if you have long and/or thick hair.
The box will need to say if it doesn’t need to be mixed.
Keep in mind that the shade of your hair will affect how vibrant the color looks. If you have very dark hair, then the color will not be as vibrant as it would be if you had light hair and dyed it.
Many boxed dyes will come with a packet of conditioner.
