When it comes to film and television, hair transformations signal larger emotional shifts.
At the same time, due to global shutdowns, at-home hair dyeing grew increasingly popular.
Here’s how to use the unconventional tool to your advantage.
Vaseline will do the trick.
Scoop some out with your gloved fingers, and generously apply it to any areas of concern.
Shelby Storozinski, hairstylist and TikToker, demonstrates the at-home dying process in the above video.
Shea butter lotion and coconut oil will also do the trick if you don’t have Vaseline handy.
Fortunately, getting rid of dye stains even after they’ve taken hold isn’t impossible.
Rinse off any leftover oil with water once you’re done.
Celebrity hairstylist Michelle Cleveland has another unconventional solution, recommending glass cleaner toOprah Daily.
This is only really suitable for use on the hands, though.
Keep in mind that some of these last-resort solutions can be damaging to the delicate skin on your face.
After applying, always cleanse and counteract barrier-stripping effects with your go-to moisturizer.
Ultimately, it’s always best to consult a practiced colorist to dye your hair.
