She walked into the salon three months ago because she wanted to hide her highlights.

Her hair color was a beautiful butter yellow highlights with deep ash tones. Her friends were envious.

What should you do after covering your highlights to keep your hair healthy?

How do you do all over color with highlights?

You must perform a pre-pigmenting treatment to your hair before covering up highlights. Platina, Coppertone and Clairol have been highly successful with these treatments

Pre-pigmenting involves using the hair dye straight without the need of a developer, this helps fix the color and make it more stronger.

Pre-pigmenting keeps colors from fading quickly so your hair looks good for longer. It also reduces the likelihood of damaging it.

But before you start pre-pigmenting, it’s best to check your natural skin color first! We recommend trying to choose a shade that is as close as possible in tone to your natural color.

The product fades into your natural color making the transition smoother, resulting in a less noticeable difference than with other products.

Another thing to consider is the amount of dye you’ll need.

For the best results, you’ll need to divide your highlights in half and add that amount of dye to both halves until you have the right shade.

It is important to buy a lot of dye in case you need it for very long hair. If you have thick or very long hair, it is best to get two or three containers of dye at a time to make sure that you don’t run out.

Now you have the opportunity to witness the moment of truth!

Let’s start Pre-pigmenting!

It’s helpful to have all your materials for this project ready before you begin. You’ll need gloves, a brush, a hair clip, some shampoo & conditioner, a plastic container with water and dye in it, and more (like a body cream or special products).
Detangle your hair with the brush to ensure a painless process, and apply moisturizer to the soft, delicate areas near your skin that you don’t want the dye to staining.
Add a half bottle of dye to the container until mostly full, add in a tablespoon of water, and vigorously mix.
Then, you need to pull up your hair in a hair clip, leaving a layer of it at the back of your neck.
Just make sure you only apply the dye on the light parts of your hair and use caution at applying it to the highlights.
In order to be thorough, use the comb to spread the dye evenly throughout each strand. After that, repeat this process on all layers of your hair.”
After you’ve covered all the highlights in your hair, let it sit for 10 minutes so it can process.

Once your hair is pre-pigmented, apply the dye as usual.

When dyeing your hair, briefly mix the dye and developer together before adding it to your hair. Then wait for 40 minutes and wash out the dye completely

Since your highlighters have all run out, you’ll be left with one even color and a series of highlights that will seem to have vanished.

How to take care of your hair after covering the highlights

Applying hair care products the right way is important to keep highlights from reappearing.

Never wash your hair after the first three days after dying it with a permanent color. This allows the color to better adhere to the hair fiber for a longer time.
To make hair dyes last the longest possible, you should wash your hair every other day. This will allow your natural oil glands to nourish and give you healthier hair.
Hair products designed for use with dyed hair are becoming increasingly popular. Not only do they help prevent scalp dryness and fade, but they also have no sulfates or parabens. This can ultimately save time & money and contribute to the overall health of your hair.

Conclusion:

It’s important to cover your highlights the proper way once you’ve decided to do so.

You need to use the highlighted strands first by applying dye to them for ten minutes with developer. Once they are gone, apply more dye mixed with developer to your entire head.
