How to Color your Hair:Coloring your hair is not a very difficult task. With these simple tips you can color your hair at home:

• Shampoo your hair.
• Mix the contents of the hair dye in a glass or porcelain dish.
• Use the applicator or spatula to apply the dye on your hair.
• Wait for 30 minutes to allow the dye to set in.
• Rinse your hair thoroughly.
• Later, shampoo your hair and use a hair conditioner after that.

Note: Make sure that the color does not come in contact with your eyes. If it does and you experience a burning sensation then wash off with plenty of water.

Some chemicals used in hair colors can adversely affect your health. So make sure that the hair dye you use does not contain lead acetate or any chemical which you are allergic too. Also, frequent use of chemical hair dyes may cause breakage and loss of hair. In such cases, natural hair dyes, like henna, can be a better choice.
