on 11/22/2005 The four quadrant directions sound complicated and hard to do! I usually part my hair about an inch away from my main part on one side and paint on dye on this new part. Then I keep parting and painting my hair with dye in a series of quarter inch parts successively next to the first part. No clips are required! I do this about every 2 weeks. Then, roots will show about every 3 months with hair farther from the part. So I do all of my roots every 3 months by dyeing in parts from ear to ear.

Place hair conditioner to the parts of the hair before coloring; that you will not be coloring. It gives a natural shade varience to the coloring process (lighter ends darkes roots) also you wont look like you are wearing a one color wig.

Always rinse with cool water so you dont't damage the roots, stunt growth and cause the hair to fall out.

When you place a bead of hair color to the parted hair press it in to cover all sides of the hair shaft.
