You can feel free to dye your hair if you follow the CG Method . Unfortunately, most types of hair dye are not CG, but if you care for your hair properly you can limit the damage. In this blog we explain how you can best do this.
Which hair dye is CG?
Actually, most of the hair dye is not CG. An alternative, for example, is henna paint, which is CG-proof. When you start working with henna, it requires caution, as henna is very different from the 'normal' hair dye we know. There are also special hairdressers who use this paint in their salon. The disadvantage of henna is that it sometimes does not take well and can fade quickly.
Henna hair dye often looks different from 'normal' hair dye:
Tips for dying your hair
Go to a specialized hairdresser
Hairdressers use better quality hair dye than what is available in a drugstore, for example. It may also be that you do not have much experience with dyeing your hair or are unsure about a certain color. In that case, find a hairdresser for a treatment, especially if you want to lighten your hair, have highlights put on, or try other special things.
Do you want extra protection while hair dyeing? Then you can go to the hairdresser for an extra Olaplex treatment.
Take porous hair into account
Do you want to darken your hair? Please keep in mind that in some cases your hair may turn out darker than desired. Always adhere to the training time as described. Do you have porous hair ? Then your hair can also darken faster. Have you already dyed your hair several times and do you actually want to keep the same color of your hair? Then go for a shade lighter. The dye can build up on your hair, making it a bit darker each time.
Use a rinse
Are you in doubt but would you still like to get started with hair dye at home? Choose a rinseable (non-permanent) hair dye. Often these types of paint last 28 washes.

You've dyed your hair, how do you proceed with the CG Method?
Have you dyed your hair at home? Then use a conditioner after dyeing. The package often also contains a conditioner. It is not mandatory to use it, as it is often not CG due to silicone. You can use it if necessary, because you do a final wash during the next wash.
After a few days, do another final wash. If you have dyed your hair, wait at least 3 days before washing your hair, otherwise your hair color may fade faster. After the final wash, apply a mask and follow the steps as you normally do: leave-in, gel, etc. You can then get back to work with your CG Method products. Are you going to paint it again? Then follow these steps again!
It is important to do a final wash the first wash after dyeing. Also include special products in your routine to improve your hair condition.
