\"misused<\/p>\n

The other day, someone asked me if it was a good idea to mix shampoo and hair dye. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It was barely six in the morning and the question took me by surprise.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just that I\u2019m one of those that needs to drink a mug and a half of coffee to wake myself up. Yes, I know, all that coffee can be toxic, but I have to have some vice.<\/p>\n

The question left me, how do I say it?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Perplexed.<\/p>\n

Because they didn\u2019t explain why they wanted to mix the dye with the shampoo.<\/p>\n

I have a lot of imagination, so I tried to imagine all the possible reason that they would want to mix dye and shampoo.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What do you think?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see if you have as much imagination as I do.<\/p>\n

A person could mix shampoo with hair dye to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Extend the life of the dye in your hair<\/li>\n
  2. Get a new color in your hair<\/li>\n
  3. Dye your hair with less damage<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Of the three answers that I have given you, two are correct, to say it that way.<\/p>\n

    Which ones are they?<\/p>\n

    Did you say a and b?<\/p>\n

    Correct!<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    You have a Good intuition. Congratulations.<\/p>\n

    Now, do you want to know why those two answers are correct?<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Now I\u2019ll tell you.<\/p>\n

    But before, let\u2019s completely throw out answer c.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n Mixing dye with shampoo to avoid damage to your hair simply won\u2019t work.  <\/span>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Box dyes come prepared in just the right portions to get your hair the color you want.<\/p>\n

    And yes, unfortunately, to change the natural pigment of your hair, you need to process it with some chemical ingredients like hydrogen peroxide for example.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    If you mix shampoo with a dye when you dye it, you run the risk of the new color not being deposited evenly over all your hair fibers.<\/p>\n

    That means, you will be playing with fire, and your hair can end up like the skin of a dalmatian.<\/p>\n

    Are you looking for spots of color in your hair?<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Then mix the dye with your shampoo.<\/p>\n

    Do you want to protect your hair when it comes time to dyeing it?<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n Then, simply do a deep nourishing treatment the night before, for example, applying coconut oil on your hair.  <\/span>\n

    If you don\u2019t have much time, you can even apply coconut oil an hour before you dye your hair from the middle to the ends.<\/p>\n

    The coconut oil will not interfere with the dye\u2019s absorption and minimize the damages.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Now, do you want to know in what cases it works best to mix the dye with shampoo?<\/p>\n

    Keep reading, but I\u2019ll tell you now that it isn\u2019t a good idea.<\/p>\n

    They are for those, let\u2019s say, momentous solutions.<\/p>\n

    Do you want to know why?<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    I\u2019ll tell you know.<\/p>\n

    Let\u2019s start with the answer a: lengthen the life of the dye in your hair.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n\n

     <\/p>\n

    How to extend the vivacity of the color in your hair<\/h2>\n

    \"hair<\/p>\n

    I don\u2019t know if you have noticed that there are those shampoos specifically prepared to extend the color in dyed hair.<\/p>\n

    They are shampoos that include color molecules in their formulas that revive the color in your dyed hair.<\/p>\n

    Primarily, they are shampoos meant for hair dyed blonde or red.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    In the case that your hair is dyed blonde, there are shampoos that care for your blonde hair<\/a>, neutralizing the yellows and oranges that appear after a few washes.<\/p>\n

    But the force of these shampoos stops there.<\/p>\n

    Because to maintain color, you should dye your hair again after twenty or twenty-five days, inevitably.<\/p>\n

    Now, what happens with people that color their hair black<\/a>, for example, or with fantasy colors?<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    You can mix part of the color with your shampoo, and you will get the same effect that the shampoo for hair dyed red produces.<\/p>\n

    It will revitalize the color of your dyed hair, but nothing will prevent your roots from growing in and your natural tone reappearing.<\/p>\n

    So you will simply have to dye your hair again.<\/p>\n

    Meaning, that this method will revitalize the color of your dyed hair, but it won\u2019t dye your hair.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Do you remember option b?<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Answer b was to get new color in your hair.<\/p>\n

    No, I\u2019m not crazy.<\/p>\n

    I know that I just told you that mixing dye in your shampoo doesn\u2019t dye your hair.<\/p>\n

    And it\u2019s true, but there is a tiny trick.<\/p>\n

    Do you want to know what it is?<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Mixing the shampoo with dye to dye blonde highlights fantasy tones.<\/p>\n

    And now I will tell you how to do it.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Mixing dye with shampoo to dye your blonde highlights fantasy tones<\/h2>\n

    This method is definitely meant for those people that have blonde streaks or highlights in their hair.<\/p>\n

    Meaning if you have blonde highlights and you want to surprise people at a party by showing up with sky blue streaks instead of blonde, it will work.<\/p>\n

    But it is simply a temporary coloring.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    You will need to use a semi-permanent dye like the well-known Maniac Panic<\/a>, for example.<\/p>\n

    You should mix equal parts shampoo and permanent dye and apply it to the pieces of your hair while protecting the rest.<\/p>\n

    It will also work in dark hair with light streaks.<\/p>\n But I repeat, it is just a temporary effect, since washing your hair will cause the color to fade. Even though it could take one or two washes.  <\/span>\n

    I know what you are asking.<\/p>\n

    And if I use it on my whole head?<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    I don\u2019t advise it because you could run the risk of staining your whole hair with fantasy color.<\/p>\n

    If you want to dye your hair a fantasy color, simply use fantasy dye.<\/p>\n

    This method is like a special effect for a special occasion.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Do you want to know one last trick?<\/p>\n
