How to Dye Parts of Your Hair Blue
If you want to dye your hair blue, you can have it done by a professional or do it yourself at home. Some professional colorists specialize in unnatural colors like blue, but others might be clueless about using hair dye in wacky colors. Dyeing your hair blue at home is less expensive than getting it done in a salon, and vegetable-based color dyes are available at beauty supply stores nationwide. Does this Spark an idea?

1
Avoid washing your hair for at least 24 hours before dyeing your hair. Dye will absorb into the hair follicle best when hair contains some oil.
-
2
Pin up sections of your hair that you do not want to dye. Keep any sections you do want to dye loose so you can reach them easily with the dye brush.

If your hair is dark, bleach the loose sections of your hair. You can purchase an at-home bleach kit at a drugstore or beauty supply store. Carefully coat the sections of hair with bleach and leave in for 30 minutes, then rinse out and allow to dry completely before continuing.

Put on rubber gloves and, using a dye brush, carefully saturate the sections you want to dye blue with a vegetable-based hair dye.
-
5
Wrap each blue section with a piece of tin foil so the dye does not touch the rest of the hair.
-
6
Leave the dye on for 20 minutes, then rinse your hair in the shower. Avoid washing your hair with shampoo and conditioner for 24 hours.
