To dye your hair blue, you'll generally need to follow these steps:
DIY or Professional Application
First, decide if you want to dye your hair at home or go to a professional. Choosing the right option depends on your experience and the complexity of your desired blue shade.
Pre-Lightening Your Hair
Important: To achieve a vibrant blue, your hair likely needs to be lightened, especially if it's darker.
- Mix a blonder with a developer in a 1:2 ratio (one part blonder to two parts developer), as the reference mentions. This mixture will lift the natural color from your hair.
- Apply this mixture to your hair, following the instructions on the product packaging. Be careful not to over-process and cause damage.
- You may need multiple applications depending on your hair's initial color and desired level of lightness.
Applying The Blue Hair Dye
- After your hair is lightened to the desired level, wash and dry your hair.
- Apply the blue hair dye evenly, starting from the roots to the tips.
- Make sure every strand is saturated for consistent color.
- Follow the product instructions regarding the processing time.
- Rinse thoroughly once the time is up.
