Things You'll Need:
- Latex gloves
- Brown hair dye
- Black hair dye
- Sealer or conditioner for color treated hair
-
Step 1
Purchase a semi-permanent hair color. Semi-permanent hair color lasts approximately 28 days.
-
Step 2
Search for a product that does not contain ammonia. Ammonia strips the nutrients from your hair. Blond-haired people often have hidden gray that is difficult to cover with hair color.
-
Step 3
Determine if you need help. If this is your first time coloring your hair so drastically, then you will want to ask a friend to help.
-
Step 4
Read the directions before you start. It is important to follow the directions so all the roots are covered and sections of hair aren’t missed.
-
Step 5
Assess the way your hair grows on your head. Start at the front and work back. Do your sides and don’t forget to do underneath the back of your hair on the neck area.
-
Step 6
Start with the brown hair color first. Skip any conditioner or sealer at this point. Remember you have to use the black dye next.
-
Step 7
Run the black dye bottle over the spots you just put the brown in exactly the same way. You don’t want to miss any part of your hair.
