How to measure hair dye with a scale?

Published in Hair Dye 2 mins read

To accurately measure hair dye using a digital scale, follow these steps:

  1. Prepare the Scale:

    • Place the digital scale on a flat, stable surface.
    • Press the "on" button to turn the scale on.
    • Zero the Scale: Ensure the display reads "0". If it doesn't, press the "on" or "tare" button to reset it to zero. This accounts for the weight of any container you might be using to hold the dye.
    • Select the Correct Unit: Use the "unit" button to choose the appropriate measurement unit (e.g., grams, ounces). This is important for accurate mixing ratios.
  2. Measuring the Dye:

    • Place the container you will use for mixing on the scale. Make sure it is on the scale before zeroing out.
    • Verify the scale reads zero after adding the mixing container.
    • Slowly pour or dispense your first component of the hair dye into the container until the desired weight is shown on the display.
    • Repeat for any other components of the hair dye, remembering to tare (zero the scale again) before adding each new component to the container. This prevents cumulative weighing error.
  3. Example:

    • If your instructions call for 30 grams of dye and 30 grams of developer.
      • Place your mixing bowl on the scale, the scale should read zero.
      • Add dye until the scale shows 30 grams.
      • Without removing the container, press the "tare" or "zero" button to reset the scale to zero.
      • Add developer until the scale shows 30 grams.

By following these steps, you can accurately measure your hair dye components, ensuring the correct proportions for the best possible results, as demonstrated in the video.
