Do a test strip before to make sure you dont have a contact allergy to the dye (unless you've used that brand before). Um... and be sure you really like the color first.


And when I do an at home color I put vasaline around my hairline and over my ears so the dye won't color my skin as well.

All over but I already have highlights so hopefully those will come up brighter.

They should. The color will probably take to the highlights first too so be sure to be checking the darker part of your hair to get the color you desire all over.

I think you have just the right advice already!


The colour sounds great!
Just up my street!
Is it temporary or permanent? What brand is it?!
Yes, yes, you'll have to show before and after pictures!


Good luck!

The last time I coloured my hair was about 3 years ago when I was still living at home. I thought that I had cleaned all the mess up afterwards yet when my mum came home from work she was ::censor::censor::censor:: is that on the ceiling??
Needless to say we were banned from colouring our hair! hahaha

Hubbies gonna flip when he sees the mess. We've just had a new white bathromm fitted!! I've just cleaned it off the floor and the back of the door. I used to colour my hair all the time but only when it was short. Never done it at this length before!!

LOL! Do you have Tilex?? I've found that works really well to get stains out.... or you can just do bleach and water

Bleach should take it off like Beth said if theres some parts that won't come off.
