Source: 123rf The highlighter, to revive the color
If you do not need to cover white hair but you still find yourself with regrowth , if the gap between the natural color and that of the tint is not much, a simple highlighter might be enough .
It is easy to apply , even on its own, because it is spread after shampooing on wet but towel-dried hair, so that it is easier to distribute. Obviously, in the case of blond hair, the light or tone-on-tone reflections will simply make them shinier, but by applying more dark ones you will also be able to change the color .

If, on the other hand, the detachment of tonality between the root and the lengths is very different, unfortunately the color will not be very homogeneous, unless you choose dark and intense reflections , which will not completely cover the deadlift, but will make it less clear. The color at home, how to do it yourself without errors
First of all it is good to understand how to choose the most suitable color for our hair and similar to that of the already colored part. To do this, it would be better to ask your trusted hairdresser for advice, who will understand the situation and will be able to give targeted indications, also in order not to find himself with too much damage to remedy.
Better then to buy products on online sites (or shops, when possible) of hairdressing supplies , so that you can only use quality materials . With supermarket colors, in fact, in addition to having a sometimes lower quality, it is difficult to predict the final result that will be obtained.
Important and also to protect the skin wellto avoid staining it with coloring, considering that it is not easy to apply alone. A very greasy cream will be enough to apply on the ears and near the hairline, but without covering it, otherwise the color will not adhere. It is also important to carry out a skin test to avoid any allergies. It is a good idea to protect the surfaces with old towels or cloths, to avoid irreversibly staining them. Also wear old clothes that you don’t mind ruining as they will probably get stained. Also remember to wear gloves to avoid staining your hands.

Now it’s time todissect the head , so that it is easier to distribute the staining. Divide it into 4 sections , drawing a vertical and a horizontal line and isolate them, in order to have a more orderly work surface. To facilitate application and to ensure that the hair does not move, apply the t inta on the perimeter of the head and also where the lines of the sections are present. Take one of the four sections and, with the help of a tail brush , take small strands and start applying the dye on the root , until you have completed the whole quadrant. Proceed in this way on the remaining three and, once you have covered the whole root, with the same proceduremove to the lengths .
For the back it would be good to get help from someone, also to make the process faster. Alternatively, the only option is to turn your back to the mirror and place another one on the front, so you can see behind it. After carefully covering your entire head, massage in the color to make sure you have not forgotten any areas. Wait for the necessary processing time and then proceed with rinsing , without removing the gloves to avoid staining your hands and nails. It is important, then, to make a couple of shampoos , taking care to concentrate well in massaging the rootsdissolve the color well and avoid accumulations on the skin. A little bit of conditioner to soften the hair and prevent frizz and go with the fold!
