You\u2019re not alone! However, there\u2019s a right and wrong way to achieve dyed styles. According to hairstylist and barber,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/booksy.com\/en-us\/137139_chita-beseau-hair_hair-salon_29251_las-vegas\">Chita Beseau<\/a>, a number of her new clients come from the result of a major hair fail in the dye department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou can definitely dye your hair at home, but you have to be careful,\u201d she says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you ever seen dyed styles that are brittle? On the same token, what about matted, frizzy ends? According to Chita, those are telltale signs of hair color that went wrong.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPeople have to be careful because it\u2019s a chemical process, and some chemicals can seriously damage your hair, especially bleach.\u201d We\u2019ll talk about bleach next, but let\u2019s talk about a few things you can do to prep your hair for dyeing at home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First and foremost, Chita recommends using a color-safe, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. This\u2019ll protect your hair and keep the dye from fading. Also, remember to add a little at a time. It\u2019s easy to go overboard. And finally, don\u2019t use bleach if you don\u2019t have to! Let\u2019s talk about that in the next section.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30125819\/shutterstock_1718026003-1200x675-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Woman trying to avoid at-home hair dye fail.\" class=\"wp-image-44905\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30125819\/shutterstock_1718026003-1200x675-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30125819\/shutterstock_1718026003-1200x675-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30125819\/shutterstock_1718026003-1200x675-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30125819\/shutterstock_1718026003-1200x675-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-bleach-mayhem\"><\/span>2. Bleach Mayhem<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ahh, the infamous bleach. As most of us know, bleach is a highly universal\u2014and\u2014powerful, household chemical. It\u2019s commonly used for cleaning countertops, laundry, even some dishes. But it\u2019s also known to be highly useful when dyeing hair.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you ever seen green or orange hair that looked unintentional? Almost like the effects of chlorine? And if that hair seems unevenly two-toned, you can be almost sure there was a bleach mishap. This&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.allure.com\/story\/white-blonde-hair-breakage-too-much-bleach-results-recovery\">article<\/a>, for example, tells the story of a woman who learned about the dangers of using too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So why do we even use bleach to dye hair if it\u2019s so dangerous? Bleach makes hair lighter so a new color can take the previous color\u2019s place. The ingredients, ammonium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide, allow for this to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news is, if you have light-colored hair, you might not need to use bleach to get the desired effect. Your hair might be light enough to withstand adding color that stays. When it comes to fellow dark-haired people, however, the only way to get hair lighter is to bleach it. Bummer, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou have to be so careful with bleach that I don\u2019t recommend my clients use it at all.\u201d Chita says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting bleach done professionally minimizes the risk of the process going poorly. Additionally, hairstylists are able to understand your hair texture, porosity, and other factors that go into how your hair will react. If you\u2019re new to dyeing, professionals can save your locks in the long run.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you don\u2019t have to use bleach, don\u2019t. Especially if you don\u2019t know your hair texture and how it reacts to different chemicals. Bleaching can take months of expensive treatments to reverse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30125844\/shutterstock_552616765-1200x675-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Woman unable to avoid bad bleaching on hair.\" class=\"wp-image-44910\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30125844\/shutterstock_552616765-1200x675-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30125844\/shutterstock_552616765-1200x675-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30125844\/shutterstock_552616765-1200x675-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30125844\/shutterstock_552616765-1200x675-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-saw-it-in-the-movies\"><\/span>3.

However, dyeing your hair can affect your hair in the long run. Chita explains that sometimes clients will make impulsive decisions that eventually damage their hair.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI require a consultation for new clients before we go with a major hair choice,\u201d Chita said. \u201cIt helps me understand where the hair is and what we can do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some styles won\u2019t work for all hair types and textures, so it\u2019s good to be informed about what you\u2019re doing to it before committing. Especially if you\u2019re thinking about using dye at home. You have to be sure about how your hair can hold up with a drastic change.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes, it\u2019s not a lack of technical skill, but technical knowledge. Because hair types aren\u2019t universal, not knowing enough can lead to disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chita recommends that if you are in love with a new popular hair cut or color you want to try, to do some research if you can\u2019t come into a salon for a consultation. That way, you\u2019ll be able to avoid a hair fail.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30125907\/shutterstock_1351454315-1200x675-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Young woman attempting haircut without knowledge.\" class=\"wp-image-44915\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30125907\/shutterstock_1351454315-1200x675-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30125907\/shutterstock_1351454315-1200x675-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30125907\/shutterstock_1351454315-1200x675-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30125907\/shutterstock_1351454315-1200x675-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-lopsided-lines\"><\/span>4. Lopsided Lines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOne of the biggest mistakes I see on dudes when they come into my shop is when the lines of their fades don\u2019t match up,\u201d celebrity barber<a href=\"https:\/\/booksy.com\/en-us\/173101_boss-cuts-world-class-barbershop_barber-shop_26844_charlotte\">&nbsp;Cutt Boss Ron said<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve ever seen a fade, you know that part of the reason why they look great is because of how precise they are. Fades follow the natural hairline of its wearer, creating a simple and refined look.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because they\u2019re so sharp, when fades aren\u2019t clean though, they can be completely obvious.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFades are easy to mess up and easier to spot when they are messed up,\u201d said Ron. So it\u2019s not hard to draw the conclusion that fades, while a good cut for beginners, should be done with the utmost attention.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cutt Boss recommends not to overdo it if you\u2019re trying to do a fade at home and you\u2019re a beginner. \u201cYou\u2019ll just need a simple 1 or 5 set of clippers. Make sure they\u2019re clean. Then, you just need to line up the way your clippers are moving with the way your hair grows.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you keep those tips in mind, you can give yourself a nice, basic cut that keeps your edges looking sharp. Of course, there\u2019s nothing wrong with seeing a pro to make sure you\u2019ll walk out as your best, so don\u2019t hesitate to head to Booksy to book your next appointment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30125931\/shutterstock_1913991928-1200x675-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Man attempting to correct the lines of his fade.\" class=\"wp-image-44920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30125931\/shutterstock_1913991928-1200x675-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30125931\/shutterstock_1913991928-1200x675-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30125931\/shutterstock_1913991928-1200x675-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30125931\/shutterstock_1913991928-1200x675-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-shocking-locks\"><\/span>5. Shocking Locks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When asked about the biggest barbering trends he\u2019s been seeing lately, Ron had one answer. \u201cDreadlocks that stick straight up, and a reverse mullet in the South.\u201d Ron mentioned places like Houston, Texas, have taken favorably to remixing the mullet, but young clientele in Florida are very interested in doing the same with dreadlocks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cutt Boss Ron acknowledges the style might be too young for him to understand. However, he wanted to stress that dreadlocks can be difficult to maintain, and adding color can be risky. That said, one of the most appealing parts of this trend is the adding color into locs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you seen the style yet? Dreadlocks, as you might know, are a popular protective African hair style. Protective styles are meant to shield African-American hair from damaging factors, like the sun\u2019s rays.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, a lot of rappers have taken to adding colorful dreadlocks that stand almost at attention to be popular. It can be done using a lot of hair gel and spray, but you have to be careful about product buildup. Buildup makes the hair dirty, itchy, and prone to breaking off. That can lead to a huge fail.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve gone over dye already, so we know why that can be tricky for beginners to try. Adding a complicated chemical process to protective styles like dreads can be done, but Cutt Boss recommends not doing them at home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou can easily take care of dreads at home, though. Just make sure they\u2019re getting re-locked regularly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30125952\/shutterstock_1556554373-1200x675-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Man with dyed dreadlocks in a ponytail.\" class=\"wp-image-44925\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30125952\/shutterstock_1556554373-1200x675-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30125952\/shutterstock_1556554373-1200x675-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30125952\/shutterstock_1556554373-1200x675-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30125952\/shutterstock_1556554373-1200x675-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re pretty used to do things we usually don\u2019t picture ourselves doing at home, like our&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":44900,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":"","_ppma_block_editor_authors":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[191],"class_list":["post-44899","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hair"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How to Avoid a DIY Hair Fail At Home - Booksy.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Are you thinking of dyeing your hair?
