Foam coloring is an easy to use and quick solution to color our hair at home in no time. We tell you everything about this clever product.

Unlike other solutions, mousse coloring is used on dry and clean hair. This second point is not a detail. Indeed, it is always more pleasant to apply care to fresh washed hair.

Besides, the post-coloring result will only be more successful. A first coloring is always scary, especially when you do it yourself, alone in your bathroom.

A covering texture easy to spread on the hair

The velvety texture of the mousse coloring helps to cover the whole of the hair. Unlike liquid products, this formula avoids putting it on clothes, furniture and especially on the skin. Generally, this type of hair dye comes in the form of two containers that just need to be combined in one.

We shake the product and apply it all over the hair. Many brands now offer a wide choice of foam coloring. The colors and shades are also very broad. So, make the right choice and follow the tips and tricks to succeed in your color at home.

How to use mousse coloring?

After having combined the colored gel and the fixing product, it remains to shake the bottle. Do not forget to put the gloves provided in the foam coloring box purchased commercially.

We also put on a t-shirt with no particular value and settle in comfortably in our bathroom. We transfer part of the product (the equivalent of a walnut) into our hand and apply it to the root. To not neglect any part of our hair, we start with the parts surrounding the face. We think to spread the foam well on the nape and behind the ears.

Once this first step is finished, we can apply the mousse coloring to the rest of our hair, always from the roots, ending with the ends. And finally, we massage the whole hair well in order to properly spread the product and make it penetrate well. By following this method, no surface is forgotten. We let act. In general, the exposure time of the foam coloring is half an hour. After that, rinse until the water is completely clear.

To optimize the color, it is advisable not to attack it directly after foam coloring with a hair dryer, but natural or semi-natural drying is preferable.
