How to Dye Dark Hair Red
If you don't want to go to a professional hair salon to dye your locks dark red, you may do it at home. Even if dark red hues are less damaging than bleaching, there are some things to keep in mind when doing a DIY at home dye job.
Use deep-conditioning hair products one week prior to your hair dyeing process. By this, you'll ensure that your dark red hair color stays longer on your locks, and that your hair is well nourished and less damaged after the coloring job.
Apply the dark red hair dye of your choice, closely following the instructions on the package. After leaving the dark red hair dye on your locks for the required amount of time, rinse your tresses with lukewarm water. Too cold or too warm water may alter the final shade of your dark red hair.
How to Care for Dark Red Hair
Dark red hair needs special care, as it's the color fades the fastest. Use color protective shampoos and conditioners, designed for maintaining red hair color, and you can even go for color depositing products between touch ups. Glossing treatments may also be needed, if you wish to prolong the shine of your dark red hair color.
