Step by Step Milktea Hair Color

Creating a "milk tea" hair color involves combining shades of brown and creamy blonde to mimic the colors found in a cup of milk tea. Here's a step-by-step guide to achieving this trendy hair color:

Note: Before you start, it's essential to determine your hair's current condition and type. If you have very dark hair or if it's previously colored, you might need to bleach it to achieve the desired milk tea shades. It's a good idea to consult with a professional colorist for personalized advice and to minimize hair damage.

Materials and Tools:

1. Hair dye in shades of brown and creamy blonde
2. Developer (if required for your hair type)
3. Mixing bowl and brush
4. Gloves
5. Old t-shirt or salon cape
6. Clips to section your hair
7. Plastic shower cap
8. Hair conditioner
9. Shampoo
10. Towel
11. A mirror

Step 1: Prepare Your Work Area

• Cover the floor with newspaper or a plastic sheet to catch any hair dye spills.
• Put on your old t-shirt or salon cape to protect your clothing.
• Gather all your materials and place them within reach.

Step 2: Choose Your Colors

• Choose the shades of brown and creamy blonde that will mimic the milk tea colors you desire. The specific shades will depend on your hair's starting color and your desired outcome. Consult with a professional colorist for recommendations if you're unsure.

Step 3: Mix the Hair Dye

• Follow the instructions on the hair dye boxes to mix the colors in a separate mixing bowl. Typically, you'll need to combine the dye with the developer, if required, in specific ratios. Mix until you achieve a smooth consistency.

Step 4: Section Your Hair

• Use hair clips to divide your hair into manageable sections. Start by parting it in the middle and then create horizontal sections from bottom to top.

Step 5: Apply the Hair Dye

• Put on gloves to protect your hands.
• Starting with one section, apply the brown hair dye to the roots and work your way down, ensuring even coverage.
• Then, take the creamy blonde hair dye and apply it from the mid-lengths to the ends, blending it with the brown for a seamless transition.
• Repeat this process for each section of your hair, working methodically.

Step 6: Comb and Blend

• Use a wide-tooth comb to gently comb through your hair to help blend the colors at the transition point between brown and creamy blonde.

Step 7: Cover and Wait

• Put on a plastic shower cap to keep the hair dye from drying out and leave it on for the recommended processing time, typically 30-45 minutes.

Step 8: Rinse and Condition

• After the processing time is up, rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear.
• Apply a deep conditioner to your hair and let it sit for a few minutes to restore moisture and softness.

Step 9: Shampoo and Style

• Wash your hair with a sulfate-free shampoo and condition as usual.
• Towel dry your hair and style it as desired. You can use heat protectant products to prevent damage when using heat styling tools.

Achieving the perfect milk tea hair color may take a few attempts and may require touch-ups to maintain the shade. If you're uncertain about the process or color selection, it's best to consult with a professional colorist for the best results.
