Hmm, that got your attention, didn't it? smiley - tongueout


I'm sitting here with beautifully dyed hair - but yet another ruined smiley - towel
Any ideas how to avoid that in future?
Or, failing that, how to rescue the smiley - towel?

Use a special dyeing smiley - towel. That saves the rest from being ruined smiley - smiley.

I've got an old one, which started its days as bathing towel for a cousin (now 36yrs), and now after have been used by a bunch of young smiley - dragons is used when someone dyes his/her hair.

DQ, I used to have an old towel for dyeing purposes, but I couldn't find it. smiley - wah Took a dark brown towel, and yet, it's completely ruined now.

To be honest, I'd rather avoid i in the first place. Looks as if there aren't many options to do so, though.

I find the whole process of dyeing my own rather long and thick hair a complete nightmare, I always miss bits and end up with an 'interesting' shade of colour, completely different to that promised on the box.smiley - cross

But, I can't afford the salon prices, so, 'interesting' and patchy remains this seasons look.smiley - erm

It's worse if you are as short-sighted as I am - I have to take off my glasses in order to reach the worst parts (the parts where my hair is really white is exaxtly at my temples smiley - wah), which makes the result interesting, to say the least. I once asked my husband to dye my hair - never again will I do that, though. smiley - yikes

My worst experience of hair dyeing was when I was young and still in nursing school.

I'm a natural blonde and had long hair, well below my shoulders. I decided to celebrate the upcoming spring by dyeing my hair red. I realised I needed help so asked the hatchlings-dad-to-be. I told him how to put the dye into my hair, and he did exactly the opposite smiley - yikes

I ended up with hair endings redder than traffic lights and hair roots as blonde as ever. My class mates mocked me when I came back to school. Fortunaterly we had a theory period, so no patients were hurt smiley - laugh.

A month and a half or so we married, but luckily the dye had faded. I was blonde again.

I never asked him for help again...

Isn't it funny how they can paint walls, model airplanes, furniture and everything without any problems, and practically perfect- and completely and uttterly fail when you ask them to paint your fingernails or dye your hair? smiley - laugh

"Well perhaps I am not a man after all smiley - huh

Anyway how about using a garbage bag over the towel ? The towel for comfort and the plastic bag to avoid leaking any paint on it. It does work, as I never find a hair colour stained towel in the laundry smiley - biggrin "

Not a bad idea, maybe I'll try this next time I dye my hair myself. I haven't done it for a long time, had the hairdresser do it, but it's only a week till christmas, I thought I could save all the money for the hairdresser and do some DIY once again. smiley - diva

We don't have any charity thingies here - not that I knew of, anyway. We have second-hand shops, and car boot sales, and we have the red cross containers.
