Prep Your Hair : For all dyes, including our Unicorn Hair Collection, we highly recommend doing a strand test at least 48 hours before your dyeing session. For no-fuss, salon-like coverage, you can also buy a hair dye cape. While you dye, wear a comfy shirt you don’t mind getting messed up. Usually dye may be removed with rubbing alcohol, too! LC TIP: Keep a surface cleaner on-hand in case the dye decides to drop right on your white ivory sink. Next, line your area with either paper towels or newspaper-sort of what you would do if you were painting, because technically you are! This includes bath towels, bathmats, cute headbands, etc.Īlso, we’d recommend using a dark towel or rag towel as your designated ‘hair towel’ for the day (Avoid using mom’s nice ones!). Prep Your Station: Hair coloring at home is fun, but can definitely get messy! To prevent your entire bathroom from looking like a modern art piece, we recommend you put away anything nearby that’s made of fabric and can potentially be stained. You got the goods? Good! Now it’s time to get your area ready for some serious color. Color Removing Wipes – no mess, no stress!.



If you’re a blue today, pink tomorrow type of person, you should try temporary hair colors. Temporary hair color: Like temporary tattoos, sometimes you just need on-the-fly color to mix things up.

Our Unicorn Hair Collection includes two types of semi-permanent dyes: Full Coverage includes a range of 25+ bold and bright colors, and hair tints are formulas with more pastel and muted shades. Instead, this type of at-home hair dye adds pigment inside the outer hair cuticle that will gradually wash out over time.Īnd like mentioned above, strands with a more opened-up hair cuticle, AKA pre-lightened hair, makes the color easier to sit in the hair’s cuticle. Semi-permanent hair dye: Unlike permanent hair dye, our Unicorn Hair semi-permanent hair dyes, don’t contain ingredients that chemically trap pigments below the cuticle. What’s the difference between ‘Semi-permanent Hair Dye’ and ‘Temporary Hair Color’?: If you have deep brunette hair and want to try a new courageous shade, we suggest starting with already pre-lightened or bleached hair. For instance, very dark hair will need to be chemically lightened prior to hair dyeing because darker hair has a less-intense color payoff compared to lighter hair. Other factors to keep in mind before purchasing dye include your current hair color and texture. Sounds scary, but don’t worry – The kits are damage-free and completely safe to use at home!

Need to go a bit lighter, before you go brighter? Check out our Unicorn Hair bleach at-home lightening kits. For instance, darker hair will need to be chemically lightened prior to using dyes for more vibrant color pay-off. It’s also important to keep your current hair color and texture in mind before purchasing dye. Are you looking for bolder color or muted shades? While there are various dye colors to choose from, first decide on the type of formula you want.
