Protect Your Skin With Petroleum Jelly Before Dyeing Your Hair

Dyeing our hair can be a messy affair. First, you go through all the trouble of making sure your pick just the right shade. But once the ordeal is over, you find that the dye has also stained your skin. Next comes the waking nightmare of trying to get those stains off. This is where this hack comes into its own. Grab a bit of petroleum jelly before you start, and apply it to any place where the dye might come in contact with your skin.

Think - forehead, behind the ears, and the back of the neck. Once you’ve got a smooth layer all-around, go ahead and dye your hair as usual. The jelly stops the dye from staining. Then, once you’re done, wash the jelly off with a wet flannel.
