Want to know how to dye your hair with dye? This doubt is common among women, especially those who bet on light shades like platinum blonde and pearlescent. Dye tinting is ideal for a deeper, longer-lasting result, but needs to be done correctly to avoid hair damage and staining. To help you with this task, we have listed six questions and answers on the subject. Check out!

1. Is there a way to tint the hair with dye?

Yes, you can tint your hair with dye. Although the best-known tinting process is done with a tinting shampoo (for blondes, this shampoo usually contains purple pigments), dye tinting is possible and has some benefits, such as greater color durability.

2. Can I tint my hair with dye at home?

It is possible to tint your hair with dye at home, but some precautions are essential: choose a moisturizing dye so as not to damage the strands, strictly follow the tinting step by step, and ensure that your strands are healthy before and after the procedure.

In order to tint safely, before applying any type of dye to your hair, do a strand test. And here's the tip, diva: if you don't have experience with using coloring at home, it's recommended to look for a specialist to do the tinting for you.

3. What dye to use to tint the hair?

The dye to tint the hair must be chosen according to two factors: the first is the color of the reflections that you want to neutralize. It is important to choose a dye whose reflections (numbers that are after the dot in the paint boxes) are opposite to the color of the unwanted reflections in your strands. For example, if your locks are yellowish, it is recommended to use a dye with iridescent (2) or blue (8) reflections. As for orange hair, it is worth betting on gray reflections (1).

The second factor to consider is what shade you want your locks to be after tinting. There are many nuances with the iridescent, blue or gray reflections, but they provide different results on the threads. An example is the Light Blonde Ash 9.1 and the Blonde Platinate 12.11 from Cor&Ton: although both have ash highlights, the platinum blonde is a much lighter shade and with more intense reflections than the light ash blonde.

4. How to tint hair with dye?

To tint your hair with dye at home, you will need hair dye and a 10-volume oxidizer. Low volume is essential to not damage your locks. Follow the step by step:

Step 1: Separate the hair into locks;

Step 2: Mix the paint with the oxidizer in a plastic container;

Step 3: Start the application only on the locks that need to be tinted or on all hair, if necessary;

Step 4: Let it act for 10 minutes and rinse;

Step 5: Condition the strands with a conditioner or a post-color treatment.

Diva tip: The Cor&Ton paint boxes contain three sachets of FixaCor, a treatment with D-Panthenol and low pH to hydrate and seal the hair cuticles after coloring.

5. How to tint hair with ash blonde dye?

The step-by-step procedure for tinting your hair with ash blonde dye is the same as for tinting with other shades. However, it is worth remembering that gray reflections are more suitable for tinting the orange blonde. In addition, it is important to pay attention to the chosen shade and its reflections so that the result is not much lighter or darker than expected.

6. How long after coloring can I tint my hair?

The ideal is to only tint the hair when unwanted reflections appear in the strands. Blonde hair, for example, begins to form orange spots a few months after coloring. The causes for this are varied: exposure to sunlight, sea and swimming pool, use of flat iron and babyliss are the most frequent.

Depending on how your hair care routine goes, these stains may appear more or less frequently. Therefore, to avoid over-shading, try to follow a capillary schedule for your hair type.
