Before you start dyeing your hair at home, make sure you know exactly how many ounces of hair dye you need to prevent any mishaps.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a hair stylist, the best tip I can give you is that it\u2019s always better to know how many ounces of hair dye you need before you start applying it on your locks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, you\u2019d need to get the ratio of the developer to the cream or lotion right. Otherwise, you might end up with a very different color than what you wanted. And application also becomes difficult.\u00a0Here’s the quantity you need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>How Many Ounces Of Hair Dye Do You Need<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The ounces of hair dye you need depend on the length and thickness of your hair. On average, people require about 3 to 4oz of hair dye to cover their heads. But if you have shorter hair like bobs or pixies or long hair that reaches the middle or below your waist you might need anywhere from 2oz to 8oz. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>For Long Hair<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The trickiest thing is to get the ounces of hair dye right for long hair as \u201clong\u201d is subjective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can mean you have hair that falls a few inches below your shoulders (usually called the \u201cbra-strap length\u201d), waist-length hair, or even hair that reaches below your waist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So whenever I\u2019m growing out my hair and looking to color it at home, I bring three 2oz boxes of hair dye, just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My philosophy is that it\u2019s okay if there\u2019s a bit leftover as you can distribute it over your hair for a more intense shade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you should never fall short of hair dye as the consequences can be very irritating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
