Hey everyone! Today, my husband and I decided to take on something a little different—dyeing my hair at home together. Now, my husband isn’t a professional by any means, but he was up for the challenge of helping me achieve a new look with Dark and Lovely dye in jet black.
We started off by getting all the essentials ready: a cape, gloves, and of course, the dye itself. From the very start, he seemed a bit hesitant, especially when it came to reading the instructions. He confessed he had never really taken the time to go through them properly. I gently reminded him that paying attention to the instructions, especially when it comes to timing, is crucial for the best results.

After a quick pep talk, we decided to leave the dye on for 30 minutes since I have natural hair. My husband mixed the two solutions together, and we dove into the dyeing process. At first, he was a bit clumsy—unsure if he was applying the dye correctly. But as we laughed and talked, he grew more confident.
During our little beauty session, he shared that his mother, a skilled hairstylist, had taught him how to cut hair. He had even helped me with my bob before, so he wasn’t a complete stranger to hair care. He focused on applying the dye evenly, giving extra attention to my gray areas, particularly at the front. Every now and then, he'd ask if he was doing it right, and I kept encouraging him to keep going. It was a perfect blend of love and trust.
After the 30-minute wait, we rinsed and washed my hair. My husband made sure to wash each section carefully, ensuring no trace of dye was left behind. Then we followed up with conditioner to keep my hair soft and healthy.
The result? A stunning new hair color I absolutely love! My husband, too, felt a sense of accomplishment and pride. Despite his initial nerves and uncertainty, he pulled it off, and I couldn’t be happier.
This whole experience reminded me how even the smallest tasks—like dyeing hair at home—can show just how much love and support we share in our everyday lives. It’s these little moments that make all the difference.
