I've been a DIY hair color girl for 20 years (OMG I'm old!). I just run the applicator nozzle in strips at the scalp & then pat it with gloved fingers. Then just leave it like that until 5 minutes short of the recommended coloring time. Then apply the rest.
I used to be a lot more finicky about parting it & clipping sections, yadda yadda yadda...but I find this ways quicker & does the job.
Some color kits have extra big tubes of conditioner, so you can seal it again one to two weeks after you initially color. This keeps it shiny.
Also, watch which brand you use. When I was 15 I used Nice & Easy & it worked well. Now that I am in my thirties my hair can't handle that kind of damage, I use L'Oreal Preference. Its milder from what I can tell, and doesn't fry my hair.
I use a red dye now, and reds fade the fastest. It takes more care than when I used to bleach to a platinum, but I prefer the color.
