Hi so i tried dying my hair for the first time on my own with granier nutrisse but i didn’t have enough to fully cover my hair but i still left the dye on for 30 minutes and washed it offWhen i looked at my hair after showering it looked exactly the same! like if i didn’t even put dye in my hairMy natural hair color is very dark it looks black and it’s very thick and strongso i was wondering if anyone knew when i can try to dye my hair again but to leave it on longer because i feel like i didn’t give it enough time to do its job since my hair is black.
The first thing you should do before dying your hair is to bleach it also known as hair lightenersIf you want your hair a color (bright/dark) it has to be bleachedPurchase non-chlorine bleachMake sure your hair is a certain shade of blonde depending on how dark your color dye isDivide the pieces you want colored into sectionsBleach them, then wrap them in aluminumYour hair is black so leave it on for about 2 hoursRinse washDon't apply any conditioner or shampooAdd the color dye on the blonde strips you've bleachedWait about an hour before once again rinsing and washingI suggest using conditioner this time to soften your hairDon't use shampoo though, it'll damage itBlow dry your hairI would also suggest waiting a couple of days before washing your hairYou want to the color to sink inRemember to reapply the color dye every so often to prevent your hair color from fading.
