Red Hair Dye
If you’ve been dreaming of gorgeous red locks, you’ve come to the right place! CVS carries a huge selection of red and auburn hair dye for you to choose from. But how do you narrow down your options to find that perfect color? Read on to learn more about how to find and use the best drugstore red hair dye for you!
Different Red Hair Colors
At first glance, red hair color can seem simple. But the reality is that there are hundreds of different red hair colors to choose from. When picking out red hair dye, you’ll want to consider all the different shades to find the right one for you. If you want to get a dark red, burgundy, or auburn hair color, you’ll want to choose a corresponding red hair dye. Dark red hair dye, auburn hair dye, and dark auburn hair dye are all good options to consider. For a light red hair color, you’ll want to look for a light red hair dye. For extra vibrant, bright red hair color, you’ll want to choose a bright red or intense red hair dye that is highly pigmented. If you want more of an orange red hair color, you may want to consider ginger hair dye. No matter which shade you ultimately choose, you’ll want to make sure that it mixes well with your hair’s natural undertones, so it is a good idea to do a strand test. To do a strand test, simply take a small section of your hair that isn’t easily visible (the underside of your hair and behind your ears are good options), and dye just a small section. You can use this test area to verify that the red hair dye you’ve chosen looks good on your hair and that it doesn’t clash with your hair’s natural undertones.
Types Of Red Hair Dye
There are three main types of at home red hair dye to choose from. Temporary hair dye is designed to be short-lasting and is a great way to test out a color without a lot of commitment. It’s also ideal if you just want to change your hair color for a very short period of time, such as for a one-day event. Temporary red hair dye can last anywhere from one to a small number of shampoos before the color washes out, but the longevity varies based on brand and formula, so you’ll want to refer to the product packaging to be sure. Semi-permanent hair dye lasts longer, usually up to six weeks. However, the color will slowly start to fade during this time, and if you want to keep your red locks, you’ll need to reapply often, which can be damaging to your hair. Permanent hair dye lasts the longest, but in most cases also contains the most chemicals and involves the longest exposure time, so it can be damaging to your hair. Because permanent hair dye often contains bleach, it is possible to lighten your hair up to two shades without first having to use a bleaching kit. However, if you want a red hair dye without bleach or certain other chemicals like ammonia, it is important to pay careful attention to the ingredients label. You may want to consider products marketed as natural red hair dye.
How To Dye Hair Red
Make sure to do a strand test to ensure that the color wears well on your individual hair. Once you know you like the red hair dye you’ve chosen, go ahead and follow the instructions on the package. In some cases, you may need to use a bleaching kit first in order for the color to show up properly in your hair. This is usually the case if you have dark hair. However, some red hair dye for dark hair is designed to be used without bleaching as a preliminary step. Refer to the packaging to be sure, and always follow the directions on your at home hair dye exactly. It is also a good idea to take steps to protect your skin, clothing, and bathroom fixtures from staining, since red hair dye is highly pigmented. Wearing disposable gloves and applying a little petroleum jelly to the skin around your hairline can help to protect your skin from staining and make the pigment easier to remove if stains do occur.
How To Get Red Dye Out Of Hair
If you want to remove red hair dye, you have a couple of options. The fastest way to remove red hair dye is to bleach your hair. However, bleaching can be damaging, so you’ll need to be very careful. Don’t hesitate to see a professional colorist if you need help. You can also try using a clarifying shampoo or a dandruff shampoo to help fade the color. These types of shampoos can help your red hair color fade more quickly than it would on its own, but this method still takes time. Other options include using a color remover product, using vitamin c powder or gel in your hair, washing your hair with dishwashing liquid, and re-dying your hair a darker shade, although you’ll want to be careful not to cause damage, since the dying process is harsh on your hair. If you’re not sure what to do about your hair color or if you are worried about damaging your hair, it is best to speak to a professional hair stylist.
How To Remove Red Hair Dye From Skin
Applying petroleum jelly to your skin before your dye your hair can help avoid this problem all together, because the substance forms a barrier between the dye and your skin so that when you’re all done, you can simply wipe away the dye and petroleum jelly to reveal clean, unstained skin underneath. But what if you forgot to apply it, or didn’t apply enough in the right places? There are things you can do to remove stubborn red hair dye stains from your skin. Makeup remover is a gentle option that is worth a try, because it’s unlikely to irritate your skin. However, for more stubborn stains, you may need a stronger option. Many bloggers recommend trying non-gel toothpaste or nail polish remover, but be very careful to apply the bare minimum and keep an eye out for any signs of irritation. You can also try applying leftover hair dye to the stain. This may help reactivate the old dye, which can then be removed with a little soap and water. If you still have stains or if your skin is starting to feel irritated, don’t hesitate to ask a professional stylist for help, or better yet, call your dermatologist for advice.
