Hey, who hasn’t gotten hair dye on their clothes while coloring their hair? Dyeing your hair is supposed to be a relaxing and enjoyable process, but if you’re not careful, the hair dye creeps in and stays on your favorite t-shirt! But don’t worry, today we’re going to talk to you about how to remove hair dye from your clothes to get them back to looking as good as new, and to ensure that you feel more confident the next time you color your hair!
Step 1: Act now, the sooner the better
First of all, if you’ve just gotten hair dye on your clothes, don’t hesitate! The sooner you wash it, the easier it will be to remove the hair dye. The drier the hair dye is, the harder it is to remove and may leave stubborn marks. So, don’t wait until the hair dye is completely dry and try to deal with it right away!
Step 2: Rinse with cold water
Rinsing with cold water is the most basic step when hair dye first gets on your clothes. Remember, don’t use hot water as it will make the dye more fixed to the fabric. Start by turning the garment inside out and rinsing the traces of hair dye thoroughly with cold water to rinse away as much excess dye as possible.
Step 3: Try liquid detergent
If cold water rinsing doesn’t work well, try using some liquid dishwashing liquid that you always have at home. Put a small amount of detergent drops on the hair dye stain, rub it gently with your hands, and let it sit a little for a few minutes. Then, rinse it off with cold water. Sometimes, detergent is better at removing stains than laundry detergent, especially for oily hair dye!
Step 4: Laundry Detergent + Baking Soda
If the hair dye stain remains stubborn, try mixing laundry detergent and baking soda together. Baking soda is a very powerful natural stain remover that can help you remove hair dye better. Mix laundry detergent and baking soda in a 1:1 ratio and apply it directly to the stain, rubbing gently for a few minutes before putting it in the washing machine for a normal wash.
Step 5: Use oxidizing bleach
If the first few methods don’t completely remove the stain, try oxidizing bleach. Oxidizing bleach is very effective at removing stubborn stains such as hair dye, especially on white or light-colored clothing. However, it’s a good idea to do a little testing before using it to make sure the bleach won’t damage the garment or fade the color. Follow the product instructions and add to the washing machine for a regular wash.
Step 6: Avoid hair dye drips
Of course, prevention is always better than cure! The next time you dye your hair, it’s a good idea to wear old clothes or use a hair dye apron to protect your clothing. Try to be as careful as possible when dyeing your hair to avoid letting the dye splash onto your clothing, especially when working with your roots or applying color.
Tip: How to avoid discoloration of clothing
Dark-colored clothing first: Hair dye tends to have a greater impact on light-colored clothing. If you accidentally get hair dye on light-colored clothing, it can be more of a hassle to fix.
Prevention is key: when coloring your hair, it’s a good idea to put a towel or plastic sheet underneath your clothing to avoid stains.
As you can see, removing hair dye from clothing is not really difficult, as long as you treat it in time and use the right cleaning methods, you can restore the cleanliness of your clothing. Remember to stay calm and don’t panic after each hair color. You can win when battling with hair dye!
