Hair dyeing with the use of crepe paper – introduction

It is fast and easy way of obtaining interesting shade of hair. The complete treatment lasts no longer than several minutes and the effects achieved are similar to the ones produced at a hairdresser’s. The only drawback of this kind of hair colouring is its durability… or rather the lack of it. The colour lasts just for several days. During the colouring process, you have to pay attention not to leave any bits and pieces of crape paper on hair. You can also make use of rubber gloves that will protect your hands from getting dirty.

Hair dyeing with the use of crepe paper – step by step

Set your workplace. For colouring your hair with crepe paper, you will need: obviously, crepe paper (the colour should match your skin tone and colour of the iris), foil (you are going to wrap the coloured strands of hair with it), a brush, thin rubber gloves, a little bowl and a blow dryer. Cut the blotting paper into stripes, then put them into a bowl, and cover with boiling water. Thanks to this, the crepe paper will give you the colour. Finally, it is time for hair colouring. Separate single strands of hair and tie the rest of the hair on the top of the head (it cannot disturb the colouring). It is important to put on the protective gloves! Take one strand of hair, put foil under it and apply the crepe paper dye. Basically, you can also rub the stripes of the crepe paper against strands. However, when you finish, check whether any pieces of crepe paper have not stuck to the hair. The coloured strands have to be warped with the foil and tied on the top of the head. At the end, wash the scalp after 30 minutes and blow-dry your coloured hair. Your new hairstyle is now ready!
