Techniques For Dyeing & Bleaching Of Dreadlock Hair

The techniques for dyeing and bleaching involve a combination of advanced chemical formulations, precise application methods, and post-treatment care to maintain hair health and vibrancy. Here’s a detailed look into the processes.

Technology of Dyeing:
1.Formulation of Dyes:
①Pigment Technology: Modern hair dyes use advanced pigment molecules that penetrate the hair shaft to provide long-lasting color. These molecules are designed to adhere well to the cuticle of textured hair.
②Conditioning Agents: Many dyes formulated for Afro kinky hair include conditioning agents such as shea butter, argan oil, and aloe vera. These help to keep the hair moisturized during the dyeing process.

2.Application Techniques:
①Professional Tools: Using tools like tint brushes, applicator bottles, and foils ensures precise application, especially important for textured hair which can be dense and thick.
②Heat Activation: Some dyes require the application of heat (from a hooded dryer or heat cap) to help open the cuticles and allow deeper penetration of the dye.
