What You’ll Need to Dye Brazilian Hair

Ok – before you start applying any kind of hair color to human hair bundles or synthetic hair, you’re going to need to make sure you get the best tools and accessories to hand. Here’s what we advise you stock up on before you start:

• Protective gloves
• Foil (preferably aluminum)
• Bowl for colors
• A towel you don’t mind staining
• A wide tooth comb
• Plastic wrapping
• A hair brush
• Your choice of hair color
• Your choice of hair developer
• Applicator bottle
• Of course – the Brazilian extensions you want to dye!

Do also make sure you have plenty of ventilation, as you’re going to be working with a few chemicals and products that might harm you if you breathe them in directly.

Providing you follow instructions on any products you use, there’s no reason why you can’t color great looking hair!

How do You Dye Brazilian Weaves and Hair Extensions in 12 steps

Here’s our quick 12 step by step guide on how to color your Brazilian hair:

1. Ensure you cover any tables or surfaces you want to use with the foil. You’re going to use a sizeable surface, too.
2. Using human hair? Wash it through carefully so it’s free from product.
3. Put on your gloves and make sure you have the hair color and developer to hand.
4. Then, start by using the wide tooth comb to untangle your extensions.
5. Read the instructions on your color and developer. Dispense into your bottle and mix by shaking.
6. Start to apply the color to your hair extensions and carefully comb through.
7. Once you’ve applied all the dye you wish, cover your extensions in foil.
8. You’ll then need to let your coloring take time to apply. This may vary from product to product – meaning it’s always worth reading the bottle.
9. Once it’s all settled, it’s time to rinse. You’ll need to have some warm water to hand. Carefully rinse through to remove excess dye.
10. Then, shampoo and condition. Comb through, again, so you can straighten your extensions.
11. Rinse with cold water for a shiny, sealed finish.
12. Then, air dry for the best results. You can use a blow dryer, of course, if you’d like to speed things up.
