How to Rinse Out At-Home Hair Dye

1. Make sure that you have left the hair dye in your hair for the time suggested in the directions. Put gloves on your hands to protect them from chemicals and from becoming stained.

2. Turn on the warm water. Lean over the sink, and place your head under the tap.

3. Work your hands through your hair in different sections the same way you would if washing out shampoo. Keep doing this until the water runs clear.

4. Shampoo and condition your hair as you usually would. Rinse thoroughly.

5. Gently towel-dry your hair, and style as usual.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't use hot water. It can damage your hair, and you might burn yourself.

• A special deep conditioner usually comes in boxes of store-bought hair dye.
