Have you always wanted to dye your hair? If you still want to do this, follow the instructions in this article.
Steps
Step 1. Save some money so you can afford the dye
Remember that if your mother doesn't know you're doing this, she won't be able to buy you the tincture or help you buy it. So try to do more housework or get a part-time job so you can afford it.
Step 2. Go to the shop
Buy the tincture. You can go there on foot, by bus, or you can have a friend of your mother accompany you, if you don't have a driving license. If you have little money, go to different shops to find the best offer. Look for discount coupons in magazines, they could save you a few euros.
Step 3. Choose the color of the tint you want to buy
If you want a more natural color you can use a hue tint that is a couple of times lighter or darker than yours. Don't choose a flashy color, such as pink or red, or your mother may notice it. Get advice on the brand of dye, some can permanently damage your hair. Look for a type of dye that you can normally use a shampoo on.
Step 4. Take her home
Hide it in a drawer, closet, or place your mom won't go snooping. Keep it hidden until it's time to paint. Avoid placing it under heavy objects, as this could damage the packaging. Also avoid hiding it near a window or a radiator, extreme temperatures can change the integrity of the product.
Step 5. Choose the date you will dye your hair
Call a friend and ask if you can go to their house to dye them. Make sure both of your families are not busy on that date. Call other friends if the first one doesn't allow you to go to him. The goal is to dye your hair in a place that is not your home, because the dyeing process releases smells that may make your mother suspicious.
Step 6. Go to your friend's house on the appointed day
Carry everything you need with you in a bag. If your mom asks, tell her you're just going to a friend's house. It doesn't matter where you put your dye supplies, your mother doesn't know you're going to your friend's house to dye your hair.
Step 7. Dye your hair following the instructions on the box
Read them at least three times before you begin to understand exactly what to do. Get help from your friend if you need it. When you're done, take all the stuff you used, put it back in your bag, and go home. Spray a deodorant in your friend's bathroom, and thank him for letting you go to him.
Step 8. Put a hat or scarf on your head
When you get home, don't let your mother see your hair. Cover them in every possible way. Try to avoid your mother by staying in rooms other than the ones she is in and don't talk to her. If your brothers and sisters are prone to snitching, try to avoid them too.
Advice
- It's a good idea to start with a temporary dye to test your mother's reactions. If things go wrong you can always wash it away.
- At first try with a washable dye and show your hair to your mother, without telling her that the dye is temporary. If that's okay with her, you can dye your hair with a real dye. If it isn't, you can tell her the dye is washable.
- It's always best to ask your mom if you can dye your hair. It might surprise you and say yes! (in any case, remember that when you go to university you can do whatever you want.)
- Why not ask Mom? It's a big lie, and it could take a long time to regain lost trust. I would take an evening to dye my son's hair.
- You should ask for permission before dyeing your hair. Not only because you could ruin them, but also because of the respect you have for your mother.
- You can also say that while you were playing with a friend, your hair got dirty, and that you accidentally used her mother's temporary dye instead of shampoo to wash it because you didn't read the label. Get help from your friend and keep his mother out of this.
- After a while, you may feel the need to tell your mother that you dyed your hair. Explain why you did it, trying to be convincing.
- As an alternative to a scarf or hat, you could get a hoodie. If they ask you why you always wear a hood, tell them you recently became a gangsta.
- If you dye your hair and you are too young you risk permanent hair damage.
- Dye your hair where she can't see you. If he can't see you, the problem doesn't arise.
- You can dye your hair gradually. For example, if you have them brown and you want them blond, switch from one lighter shade to the other by spending a few weeks between one color and another. Put some oil in your hair and tell your mother that this is the cause of their lightening.
- If your parents suspect anything tell them the dye is not permanent and will go away in a few days. Make sure you are telling the truth, or be prepared to face punishment.
- Get several scarves and hats so you don't always wear the same one.
- Consider wearing a wig of another color, instead of dyeing your hair. They can be expensive (especially the more realistic ones) but they allow you to change colors without problems. Your mom might be more in favor of having you use a wig than letting your hair dye.
Warnings
- I'm sorry, but you won't be able to hide it from him forever. Sooner or later he will find out. Expect one Pretty punishment.
- Think twice before dyeing your hair. There is no turning back once the crime is done.
- ALWAYS follow the instructions and perform the allergy test as specified in the instructions.
- Instead of taking the risk of dyeing them, try putting lemon juice on your hair before going out in the sun.
- Hair dye can irritate the skin.
- If your parents say "your hair looks lighter", say "I've been outside, the sun must have lightened it" (but only if there have been sunny days).
- You can always use a spray dye, as it is washable.
