When dyeing curls on your own, you should follow the basic requirements for the procedure:
- follow the instructions;
- start coloring from the top of the head, paying special attention to the roots;
- do not highlight thick strands that may not be stained;
- after that, you need to go to the back of the head, gradually going down to the hair growth zone on the neck;
- bangs, hair on the temples and forehead are dyed last;
- further, you need to accurately withstand the staining time and wash off the dye with warm water;
- the balm must be used without fail, it is kept for at least 3 minutes, and then it is also washed off.

Sometimes, after a while, yellowness may appear on the hair. To eliminate this trouble, you can use special toning shampoos.
If you want to keep the color and shine of your curls as long as possible, after dyeing, you need to take care of your hairstyle: do not use hot water for washing, but for styling - a hairdryer, hot curlers, curling irons and other devices that negatively affect the hair structure. It is better to comb the strands with a natural wood comb, and once a week to do moisturizing and nourishing masks. Also, do not forget to cover your head on sunny days, since being under ultraviolet rays leads to fading and drying out of the curls.
