Tips & Warnings
Wear clothing that you don't mind getting stained by hair dye, or cover your shirt with an old towel.
Immediately wipe away any dye that gets on your skin with a damp cotton swab.
If you want to dye your hair more than two shades lighter than your natural color, you may want to consult with a professional stylist to avoid undesirable results.
