How To Prevent Stains When Coloring Your Hair

Hair dyes do stain to make sure you're prepared to deal with drips. You may want to set aside a "hair coloring shirt" that you don't mind ruining. Also, use some old towels that you also don't mind sacrificing. Use a butterfly hair clip to secure one towel around your neck to catch any drips that would otherwise fall on your shoulders or the floor.

You'll also need drop cloths or, again, old towels to put down on the floor. Hair dye will absolutely stain carpet and isn't so good for tiles either.

One tell tale sign you color your hair is if you stain your skin with the dye. To avoid this, make sure you have a jar of petroleum jelly on hand. Smear a good glob around your hairline all the way around your face and neck. Put some on your ears while you're at it to make sure you don't end up staining them as well. And make sure you use the gloves that come with the kit!

If the hair color does stain your face use this method to remove the color.
Immediately before you wash your hair; apply a small amount of shampoo around the hairline, and using a few strands of your hair scrub the color off making circular motion as you massage the hairline.
If the color stain persist after you shampoo and condition your hair, re-apply Vaseline leave for 10 minutes and rub off.
