For some of us, the thought of getting our hair wet is enough to send shivers down our spines. For others of us (like myself), getting our hair wet is the final frontier. It’s that moment when you know you’re officially ready to venture out into the world as a wet-haired woman. For me, it all comes down to personal preference. Dry hair isn’t very fun in the summertime, and it can be extremely uncomfortable if humidity levels are high. Wet hair on the other hand? That’s just…magic! My go-to shampoo and conditioner are both made for dry hair, so switching up my routine can be difficult. However, with these few tips, it shouldn’t be an insurmountable feat. If you’re looking to change things up this summer (and you don’t mind getting your hair done!), read on for more information on how to switch haircare up without changing your life!
Should You Dye Your Hair Wet Or Dry?
There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on the individual. Some people believe that hair dye should be done wet, while others believe that it should be done dry. Personally, I believe that you should do both. Dyes can cause hair to become greasy, so it’s important to use a good shampoo and conditioner to keep your hair looking clean and shiny.
What Is The Difference Between Wet And Dyed Hair?
The Clue Is In The Name!
To dye your hair wet, you must first get it wet. This can be accomplished with a simple shower, or by running an aqueous solution through your hair. The difference between dyeing your hair wet and dying it dry is that you can’t use heat to set the color. Wet hair will take on the color of whatever product you are using, but dried hair will not. If you have colored your hair in the past and it has faded after a few items of washing, then this may be why.
Wet Hair Isn’t Always More Colorful
Dyeing your hair wet is different from dying it dry because dampness affects how much color the dye will take up. When you dye your hair dry, the pigment is trapped inside of each strand of hair and cannot be washed away with water easily. However, when you dye your hair wet, the water can break down the pigments so that they release their colors more quickly than they would if they were kept intact in your strands of hair.
Wet Hair Is More Difficult to Style
When I was younger I used to think that if my mom dyed my hair she would use “the same ol’ bleach blonde” and I would feel like a cow being led to slaughter every time she did it…but as I’ve gotten older I’ve realized that getting my mom’s color on me was actually pretty fun! It’s just nice to have something that isn’t permanent.In the end, it all comes down to personal preference. I don’t think there is a right answer as to whether you should dye your hair wet or dry, but I do know that you should consider both options and make a decision based on your personality, what you want to do with your hair, and what feels right for the situation.

Why Does Getting Important Your Hair Washed Dry Matter?
- It’s important to wash your hair dry because it reduces the amount of dye that you remove with the shampoo.
- It’s important to wash your hair dry because it helps you get rid of any leftover dye that might have remained in your hair or scalp.
- It’s important to wash your hair dry because the color will be washed out much more quickly if you do so.

How Do I Get My Roots Back After Dying My Hair?
- Do not use bleach to get your roots back – this will only make things worse.
- Use a clarifying shampoo and conditioner to get rid of the excess dye in your hair.
- If you have long hair, you can use a clarifying shampoo and conditioner every time that you wash your hair to help remove any remaining dye from your strands of hair.
- If you have short hair, then you may not need to use a clarifying shampoo as often because it’s likely that the excess dye will have been removed from your scalp from the first time that you dyed it – but if you do happen to run into any leftover red strands of hair (or even just one), then try using a clarifying shampoo and conditioner once or twice just for good measure.
- Don’t worry about getting the roots back too much – if they were washed out with all of the excess dye, then they should be gone within a few washes with some gentle shampooing and conditioning!
How To Get Your Hair Dried Faster Using A Hair Dryer?
- Use a hair dryer with a cool setting and low heat.
- Keep the dryer at the lowest heat setting possible and keep it on the cool setting.
- The higher your hair gets, the more damage it can do to itself if you are using hot air from a hair dryer, so keep your cool air setting low and use it sparingly!
- If you can, try to wait until your hair is completely dry before using your hair dryer.
- Use a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle your wet hair before using the hot air from your hair dryer.
- Always use a wide-tooth comb or a wide-toothed comb when drying your hair so that you don’t pull on the strands of the same bunch of hairs together which can cause breakage and split ends.
- It’s okay if it takes you longer than usual to get your hair completely dry because that’s how long it takes for it to get damaged by being exposed to heat (remember, heat damages hair).
- Use an anti-frizz serum or light leave-in conditioner after shampooing and conditioning (or just use conditioner alone) when you are drying your hair so that it doesn’t get frizzy while it dries!
- Don’t blowdry! Blow Drying is one of the most damaging things you can do to your hair because it uses high heat and high airflow which causes breakage and split ends in addition to frizziness if used too often!
Conclusion
While it may seem like a lot of work to maintain your hair after dyeing it, the results are well worth it!
