2. Go Through The Instructions: If you are a pro or a novice, instructions must be followed. Different types of colours have separate instructions on the package. Go through the instructions, mentioned on the package and follow them accordingly.

5. Colour Your Hairline: After using the hair dye, you definitely don't want people to see the original colour of your hair. To avoid this, you should start colouring your hairline first. Use the hair dye and apply it at ½ inch of your hairline and then proceed.

6. Apply Dye On Either Sides By Parting Hair: Don't start colouring by sectioning your hair. Part your hair from the middle and apply one layer on both parts. Now, lift the left part to the side and repeat the process.

7. Colour Rest Of the Hair: Now, this is difficult to do alone, especially if you have long hair. You can ask anyone to help you with this at home. Now, divide hair into little sections and apply the colour well, so that the outer and inner parts get equally coloured.

8. Heat Is Important: Once you're done colouring your hair, you should keep your hair warm for at least 45 minutes. So, wear a shower cap and relax. You can also use a hair drier, but shower cap is the best way.
