long hair, how do i use 2 boxes of nice n easy hair colour?

Question

do i mix it all together or use one box after the other?

one is not quite enough to completely cover my medium length hair which is thick and curly.

how do i do this?

Answer 1

You can mix the 2 together. it's fine. I am a hairdresser so I know what I'm talking about.

If it's a colour where you have to add peroxide to the actual tint then you just need to make sure the quantities are accurate but if it's just simply one bottle then use as much as you need and you can store the rest if you don't use it.

However you can't do this if it's one you mix cos it will go off!

Answer 2

use one box after another so you don't let the other bottle sit there and oxidize. If you are going darker, start at your scalp area and consistanly work down the hair shaft until you reach your ends. If you are going lighter, be aware that the heat at your scalp could cause what is known as "hot roots" or a brighter tone at your scalp. So if you're going lighter apply about 1 to 1.5 inches away from the scalp to the ends, let process for about 50 percent of the time, mix up your next bottle and apply to your scalp area and finish processing for the full time you need to. The color on your ends can stay there longer IF YOURE GOING LIGHTER because at this point the color would have finished it's oxidation process.
GOOD LUCK! And if it doesn't turn out correctly, remember to visit your local hairstylist to fix it.

Answer 3

if you have a plastic container, mix the hair colour together (i.e. use instructions on box)
to actually mix the solutions together, then once they are mixed, use the plastic container & put both the mixes in it. Make sure the plastic/glass container is big enough to hold both solutions. Hope this helps but make sure both the mixes are really mixed up otherwise you may loose the colouring you want. Give both a good stir before actually using.
Good luck!!!!

Answer 4

Same here, mines to thick and curly! and I use Nice N Easy!

What I do is mix up the first lot like I normally do and put it on the lower half and than I mix up the second box normally and put it on my top half.

I put it on my roots second because roots naturally are always darker and because the heat from your scalp heats up your head , your roots may go too light as they are closer to the heat from your head

Answer 5

oftentimes I combine the two packing containers on the same time so the colour is uniform if i understand i will desire extra desirable than one. purely use what you desire for complete coverage. Dyes have chemical compounds which could harm the hair so which you do no longer desire to apply extra desirable than you desire. this is going to be unable to be saved besides as as quickly as this is opened the air starts to flow to pot it. If there is previous shade do the roots first because of the fact the warmth temperature out of your scalp will technique it swifter. i does no longer do the ends till the final 10 minutes as oftentimes they are extra porous & have split ends. in the journey that your hair is quite dry i might the two get it in extra advantageous shape for a week or so with conditioners, etc. or get a trim to get rid of split ends. something of the coloring may well be utilized in case you towel dry & try a strand & locate out this is not dark or easy sufficient yet (which you would be able to desire to constantly do because of the fact distinctive circumstances of the hair or maybe the chemical compounds can replace the consequence) so which you would be able to reapply it on the try strand. Use chilly or cool water after utilising the shampoo it comes with to get it out to close the cuticle & set the colour. ideally towel & certainly dry your hair to cut back harm the 1st 24-40 8 hrs.
