Do you put it off because you can’t get to a salon? Dyeing your hair at home is easy and inexpensive.

Dyeing your roots at home is super quick, cheap, and easy! There’s no need to run to the salon when a quick dye job at home solves the problem. 

There are many different box dye brands to choose from, and most of them are quite similar in price (organic ones may be a bit more expensive). Most box dye kits include gloves, developer, colorant, and a conditioner. 

We suggest wearing an old sweatshirt so you don’t get any dye on your clothes, as well as using an old towel after you wash your hair as dye sometimes stays on your head.  

Once you choose a dye color, you mix the two bottles (developer and colorant) and apply it to your roots as directed, washing off with the conditioner enclosed. Some kits come with a brush and some come with an applicator tip to apply the dye, making it easy to do yourself. 

And that’s it!

Some Tips:

* Some brands don’t come with re-usable covers, so you have to use the full amount at once. Look for brands that do. If you just need to dye a small area, you use a small amount and the bottle will last for a few months.

* If the box doesn’t come with a brush, a new toothbrush designated for this purpose makes a GREAT brush to brush on the dye for small areas like the temples. It helps gets to all hairs.

* The smell can be strong. The ammonia-free dyes are much more tolerable and healthier.

* Put it on 15 minutes before you shower and then just rinse off inside the shower using a direct/removable shower head if you have. There’s really no mess if you do it right before showering.

* Use an oil-based makeup remover to remove any excess that remains stuck on the skin and it’ll come off easily.
