Home Hair Coloring Tip

Submitted by: Dawn C. - Columbus, Ohio. 08/06/2009 2:27 PM

I have ditched the expensive salons in favor of coloring my hair at home. One trick that I recently discovered is for when you are applying the hair dye. If you wear glasses, like me, it is hard to see what I am doing with my glasses off, so I often times get the dye on my hairline and behind my ears. I noticed there is actually a product on the market for this problem. It is a little tube of waxy like substance and is in a container just like Chapstick. The drug store was asking 4.95 for it! I went to the lip balm area where off brand lip balm was 2/1.00 and picked one up. I applied it around my hairline and behind my ears the next time I colored my hair. When done, I simply wiped away the wax and excess color with toilet paper and voila! No mess and saved some money to boot!

How's about a huge JAR of petroleum jelly at the Dollar Store - it would go further for less.

This is a great idea. I usually use vaseline- that works well too.

conditioner and vaseline work well for this too.

When I was in beauty school we actually placed long strips of cotton (you can do the same by stretching cotton balls out) and placing all the way around the edge of the hair. Then rub on the skin around the cotton Vaseline - really cheap at the dollar store.
