Do I need to dye my hair after waxing? How to wax my hair?

Hair waxing is also called semi-permanent hair dyeing. It can be understood as a colored film on the surface of the hair. It is a little different from hair dyeing. It is less harmful to the hair than hair dyeing. You can choose different colors according to your needs. Let's learn more about it.

Do I need to dye my hair after waxing?

Of course it is necessary. If you are doing black wax, it will not work, unless you are doing transparent wax, it is not necessary. It depends on the base color of the hair. If the hair has color, you can directly apply wax of the corresponding color.

Wax is different from dye cream. Dye cream needs to be mixed with hydrogen peroxide for coloring, but wax itself does not have the function of lightening, it only has the function of increasing pigment and brightening.

The wax itself is rich in plant protein and natural moisturizing factors, which can greatly maintain the health of hair. It enters the hair through the hair scales, deeply nourishes hard-to-manage hair, and helps restore vitality to hair.

However, since wax itself does not have the function of enhancing color, you need to apply a primer first and then wax it, so that you can get a perfect effect.

Under normal circumstances, the colors can be waxed directly, but some enhanced colors must fade first and then be colored, otherwise the desired effect will not be achieved.

So if you want to wax your hair, you must first apply a base to get the color you like, and then wax it. This way, the durability and brightness will be maintained for a longer time. For medium colors, there is no need to fade them, just apply them directly after dyeing. If you want some hair that is close to your hair color, you don’t need to dye it, just apply wax directly.

How to wax your hair

How to wax your hair:

1. Wash your hair.

Use alkaline shampoo to remove the oil in your hair. If you don't wash your hair thoroughly after dyeing, the color will fade easily. For extremely damaged hair, apply LPP to care for it first. The effect will be more obvious.

2. Use a towel to absorb moisture - spray with PH balancing liquid - blow dry.

Waxing is a combination of positive and negative ions, which requires a weakly acidic environment. Generally, damaged hair is weakly alkaline, so the spray PH can pull the hair back to a cationic state, enhance the adhesion of its pigment, and make the waxing last longer.

3. Apply waxing cream.

Be careful not to apply it on the scalp. Apply it evenly along the direction of the hair scales, about 1 cm away from the hair roots. Apply more at the hair roots and less at the hair ends. At the same time, put earmuffs on the customer and wrap a tissue around the neck. Apply until the hair becomes shiny, soft, and slightly warm.

4. Dry heating.

Wrap your hair lightly with plastic wrap, use UFO infrared heating, keep the temperature at around 45 degrees, open the hair scales to promote absorption, for 15-20 minutes.

5. Apply cold towel for 10 minutes.

Quickly shrink the hair cuticles, making the waxing last longer and the gloss and color more obvious.

6. Cool naturally.

Generally, it takes 10 to 15 minutes for natural cooling.

7. Use acidic shampoo to wash away any remaining pigment.

Rinse with cool water first, then rinse twice with an acidic shampoo and once with a conditioner.

8. Dry with cool air.

Drying your hair with hot air may cause it to turn white due to the loss of protein. In this case, you can use water-soluble silk protein essence for home care. You can also add 3-5 drops to waxing cream to increase brightness.

To maintain the best effect of color waxing, try to avoid washing your hair with too hot water, sauna and swimming in the sea within 5 days after color waxing.

How long does hair waxing last?

Hair waxing actually uses the principle that damaged hair is cationic and has many small holes to absorb pigments on the surface of the hair, so it can be colored and protect the hair. Because it is not alkaline and has no ability to open the hair scales, it can only dye darker but not lighter, but it is also because it does not damage the hair. Generally, one treatment can last about half a month to a month (mainly depending on the number of times you wash your hair).
