Today, on Redhead Mom, I’m sharing about How to Color Your Hair at Home
with AGEbeautiful Permanent Hair Color in partnership with Zotos Professional.
For years, I’ve gone to the salon to have my hair colored and trimmed. This was my very first time coloring my hair at home…on my own…and I was nervous! Honestly, the first thing that came to my mind was Frenchy who colored her hair for beauty school on “Grease” and it turned out pink. I did NOT want that to happen to me.
Before coloring my hair, I did my research (thank you internet and YouTube), as well as visited Sally Beauty and asked a few questions there and looked at hair colors. I also gained a little bit of confidence remembering my mom who always colored her own hair at home. Plus, I have a sister who colored her hair at home, so she was able to give me a little advice too. I have to tell you that the process was not as scary as I thought it would be and I was super impressed with the results afterwards. I did it on my own and it looked good!!! I will definitely be using AGEbeautiful from Zotos Professional in the future!
HOW TO COLOR YOUR HAIR AT HOME
SUPPLIES
- AGEbeautiful Hair Color
- AGEbeautiful 20 Volume Developer
- Hair Color Mixing Bowl
- Extra Wide Jumbo Tint Brush
- Non-slip Croc Clips
- Gloves
- Bottle (if preferred over bowl)
STEP 1 – PREPARE
- Put on cape. I didn’t use a cape, but made sure I didn’t have colored hair hanging down and dripping everywhere (plastic clips are essential).
- Brush hair. I really like the Wet Brush for brushing my hair. It doesn’t pull, but gets out tangles effectively.
- Apply barrier cream to edges. Conditioner works well. I did this my first time and found a few spots that could easily be missed due to the barrier cream or conditioner. I would suggest having some Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes on hand as they removed the hair coloring quickly and easily.
- Put on gloves. This is a very important step as you don’t want your hands staining from the hair color.
STEP 2 – DEVELOPER
Pour 2 oz of developer into a bowl. I used the 20 Volume Developer and poured it into the plastic bowl. Be sure to always use a non-metallic bowl.
STEP 3 – PERMANENT COLOR
Add 2 oz of permanent color and mix well
STEP 4 – APPLICATION
Divide hair into 4-6 sections. Use non-slip croc clips to hold the hair. Apply application to dry hair, starting with the roots. Be sure to apply to resistant grays first – usually the hairline and part. If you want to color all of hair, add solution and clip. Set timer for 30 minutes
**TIP – 45 minutes for 50% or more gray hair
PROCESSING TIME TIPS
- Clip hair up with plastic clips versus metal clips
- Don’t use a shower cap
- Clean up hairline right after application
STEP 5 – CLEAN UP HAIRLINE
I use the Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes and remove any hair colors streaks or spots that may have landed on my face or neck while waiting for my hair color to set.
STEP 6 – RINSE
Put on gloves prior to rinsing hair. Rinse hair until water runs clear.
STEP 7 – STYLE
Shampoo, condition and style.
AGEbeautiful anti-aging hair color is the first professional hair color developed to fight all 5 signs of aging hair. It’s also the first color with melanin, keratin peptide, silk protein, and a patented conditioning technology to help replenish hair with the essential components that are lost with aging. Plus, all AGEbeautiful permanent hair color is infused with a boost of moisturizing vitamin E for healthy scalp and hair. I loved the way my hair felt and looked after coloring with AGEbeautiful permanent hair color!
What are the 5 signs of aging hair and the AGEbeautiful Hair color results?
- Thinning: instantly fuller and thicker hair
- Wiry gray: dramatically softer, more manageable hair
- Turning gray: 100% gray coverage for up to 8 weeks
- Dryness: significantly more conditioned hair
- Dullness: visibly more radiant, shiny hair
AGEbeautiful hair color is infused with Vitamin E, which is an antioxidant rich ingredient known for its anti-aging properties. Zotos Professional has infused their AGEbeautiful permanent liquid hair color with scalp and hair moisturizing vitamin E, which helps maintain hydration, resulting in hair that instantly feels fuller, silkier, and radiates with shine!
AGEbeautiful hair color will give you better results than boxed color because they use professional hair dye formulas for better gray coverage than boxed color. Plus, their unique anti-aging formula with melanin, keratin peptides, and silk proteins replenishes the hair with essential components that are lost with aging. Hair feels instantly fuller, silkier, and radiates with dimensional shine.
When selecting a shade, be sure to choose a shade that is 1 or 2 levels lighter than the desired color. If hair has been previously colored, apply to the root area ONLY. Always follow directions for proper timing. I chose the shade 7RC (Dark Strawberry Blonde) and it is a gorgeous red color. I’ve also used the shade 8RC (Strawberry Blonde) and love that one as weel. Plus, I’ve received a LOT of compliments on both!
I loved my experience with AGEbeautiful permanent liqui-creme and will be using it again in the future! It made my hair feel and look fabulous!

I love your color!! I unfortunately had to stop coloring my hair at home after an accident that left me unable to use my left hand. I used to color my own hair all the time before that!
Wow, what a difference. Looks like a professional job too. I love the coverage!
First of all, can we just talk about how beautiful your hair is?! So long and so healthy! My best friend colors her hair herself so I should show her your article.
It turned out great! I colored my hair for a bit two years ago, needed my husbands help to reach lol. We had a lot of red splatter but got the job done. It’s a great way to save money between salon trips!
I only recently started dying my hair. This looks like a nice product, and your color came out beautiful! I’ll have to give this a try.
This actually looks pretty easy to pull off! I would love to give myself a new hair color!
Your hair looks great! I’m too afraid to color my hair at home because it’s extremely thick and I’m afraid I’d mess it up somehow haha.
Your color is great! I really must check this out we have a Sally’s nearby!
Oh, this looks fantastic – your hair colour is just gorgeous and this looks and sounds like a fantastic product.
I love at home hair color treatments! Saves me a bunch of money plus I like being hands on. This color looks good on you!
Wow! Such a fabulous and bold red! Looks so great!
This is going to valuable to my wife, thank you so so much for the post, it is great. I just forwarded it to her.

Age beautiful is the only hair color I will use. And it is so much better for your hair that all the other products. I use the pearl blonde, but I have used several different shades! Just love it
very useful guide. I do not color my hair because I am allergic to components but I do like the shade you have chosen. So chic!
Very easy to implement guide. I think this applies well to ladies. I know few many do colour their hairs too.
Love this shade on you; it’s beautiful! You make this look so easy, I’ll have to give it a try when it’s time to get my hair done!
Wow! This product sounds so amazing. This will be good for everyone who wants to color their hair at home.
You just reminded me that I need to pick up dye this weekend!
Your hair is gorgeous! I can’t believe you did that at home, it looks so professional! My husband has to help me dye my hair when I do it at home. I’m too afraid to try it alone, haha.
My aunt owns a salon so I have no problems if I need to have a haircut or color. I have to tried to color my hair too. It’s not so bad haha
your hair colour is fantastic ! oved your tips too
this is really helpful because not all people has ttime/ can make time to go to a salon
This is such a pretty color! I just dyed my hair reddish maroon and I love it. Home dye kits can be so great!
This is such useful information. I really appreciate the great tips!
I love the hair color so bold! It looks awesome
Some really helpful advice and tips here! That shade is great on you x
very interesting: I never do this at home because it sounds hard to me. Now I want to try it!
I’m using Age Beautiful in 6RC. I learned that my brown hair dries out if I use a developer higher than 25 volume. Good job!
Your hair looks beautiful. Unfortunately this product did not work for me. I still have the grey, not sure what i did wrong. Followed the directions perfectly.
Any suggestions for next time? I feel like i wasted my money 🙁
I am trying this one out for the first time after using Ion color and was looking for anyone who used this brand. Thank you! The color is beautiful on you. I’m trying 6RC for root touchup. I like the directions for coloring the ends after processing the roots. It says to set a timer for roots, then around 3-5 minutes at the end, use a bit of warm water and work the color into the rest of the length. That’s the same instruction I received from ESalon when I told them I was having difficulty applying to the dry ends. I used to end up with too dark ends, but now it’s all blended nicely.
Great step-by-step guide! Your experience with AGEbeautiful hair color gives me the confidence to try coloring at home too. I love how detailed and easy-to-follow your process is.
