We know how a simple hair cut or change in hair colour can drastically alter our looks, and who doesn't love sporting different looks? But call it a blessing or whatever, growing locks (which indicate that you have perfectly healthy hair) means you grow out of your hair cut soon and in the case of coloured hair, sporting two distinct hair colours.
It is immensely annoying when your natural hair colour contrasts jarringly with your two month-old hair colour that you had been dying to get. Do not moan and take out your brush and gloves. It's time for some action. Who said anything about going around with two-toned hair if you don't have the moolah to cough up at the salon?
1. Decide what colour you want on your roots. Do you want to continue with your earlier colour? Or do you want to get rid of the colour? In which case you must choose a shade that is a shade between your natural hair colour and the last colour you applied.
2. Apply a little petroleum jelly around your hairline (make sure not to apply any on your hair) and on your ear lobes as well. This will ensure that the hair colour will not leave a stain on your skin if it drips while application.
3. Always put on gloves even though you will be using a brush for application.
4. Comb your hair to remove any knots and take a centre parting all the way to your nape. You must section your hair instead of randomly colouring them.
5. Some colours come in a ready-to-use bottle or tube with an attached nozzle. However, since you only want to touch up the roots, squirt just a little blob on your roots and use your fingers to spread it evenly along the new growth of hair.
6. Since the area that needs covering is small, fingers do a much better job than a brush. Using brush can also be a messy affair if you are an amateur.
7. Use a tail comb to part hair and repeat the same on the next section.
8. Be careful to apply the colour only on your new growth and not on the already coloured hair as too much colour and chemicals will damage your hair.
9. Keep the hair dye for as long as is indicated in the instructions and rinse out later. Shampoo and condition as per the directions on the hair colour box.
