1. Select your colors
Decide whether you want to use permanent or semi-permanent dyes after choosing your desired colors.
The best option for you may be a permanent hair dye if you're really ready to commit. Only 4 to 6 weeks are provided by semi-permanent dyes.
However, there are advantages to using temporary dyes. You can change colors more frequently because they fade more quickly. Additionally, you won't have to put up with the colors you chose for very long if you don't like them.

2. Gather your tools
Along with the dye, you'll need:
- mirrors
- Vaseline
- hair comb
- old towels
- dyed-hair clips
- Temporary gloves
3. Get your hair ready
If your hair isn't already extremely blonde, you might want to bleach it before dying it. This creates a surface that is empty for the vibrant hair dye to adhere to. Even if you don't bleach your hair first, some dyes will still work, but you probably won't get the exact results you want.

4. Make a hair part.
Use a pintail comb to create the color split you desire in your hair. Most people cut their hair straight down the middle, giving you a symmetrical appearance. However, you don't have to cut it perfectly straight. One side should be tied off or clipped to keep it out of the way.
5. Apply Vaseline
The secret ingredient in DIY hair dyes is Vaseline. It stops those striking, gorgeous colors from blending together.
Just dab some Vaseline (or another petroleum jelly brand) along the part of your scalp where your hair is parted. Additionally, apply some to your neck, ears, and hairline to prevent the dye from staining your skin.
6. It's dye time!
Let's move forward gradually.
- Put your gloves on.
- Leave the left side of your hair down and part your hair back on the right side.
- Work the dye into your left side of your hair using a dye applicator brush.
- Use a comb to comb the dye through your hair once the hair is fully saturated.
- Check any potential missed spots in a mirror.
- Your left side's hair should be pinned to your scalp.
- On the other side, repeat. Make sure to put on fresh gloves for the new shade.
Work your way up starting at the bottom. The heat from your head will help your roots grow more quickly.
7. Wait
To find out how long it takes for the dye to develop, check the dye packaging. While you wait, tidy up your bathroom, upload entertaining selfies to Instagram, eat something, etc.
8. Clean it up
With lukewarm water, thoroughly rinse your hair. Before you stop, make sure the water is clear and colorless.
Apply a deep conditioner after to help retain moisture. Then, voilà Your hair is split-dyed.
