HEY MAGGOTS HAIR DYING TIP FOR THE MASCOT PLEASE?
I'VE BEEN MEANING TO DYE MY HAIR FOR MONTHS AND EVERYONE SAYS RED WOULD LOOK BEST WITH MY SKIN TONE. But I'm a lazy ass so I've been putting it off UNTIL NOW when there is the additional factor of:
Crowley
My hair is very dead, so honestly hair health wise I'm not that fussed it's kind of fucked anyway might as well go down in flames. I have naturally black hair that's technically right now dyed dark brown, but it won't show and I DONT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN WITH THE RED. I want it to be very very red. I have really short hair, like shorter than Aziraphale's for lack of a better description, and kinda-curly.
Clearly I have idea what I am doing so please please someone help. And if I have to do it at a hair salon, which is preferable coz refer my incompetence, are there any Indian maggots here who know how many souls and kidneys I have to barter to the hairdresser to get them to do what I want (they tend to discourage my endeavours)--
pls help-

Rit Dying Doll Hair Tutorial! Rainbow High and LOL Surprise OMG
INSTRUCTIONS - How to dye doll hair with Rit!
Supplies:
Your dolly!
Dye
Big bowl or your sink
Stirring stick (chopstick)
Disposable gloves
gentle soap
1. Start with clean hair. Rinse your dolls hair with water to remove any product. A teeny tiny amount of a gentle soap can be used. I like Dr. Bronners.
2. Prepare the dye bath. No need to boil water, just fill a large bowl with hot water from your sink. pour out a small amount of dye into the water. You can eyeball it or try this ratio: 1 Gallon to 1 teaspoon dye dilution as a rough starting point and then add more water or dye as needed. The color of the water will look darker than the outcome. You can always dye a test strand but I like to live dangerously.
3. Time to DYE! With wet hair dip your dolls head in the dye bath and swirl around. Dip for 10-30 seconds at a time so you don't over dye. Less is more with this project since there isn't an undo button! When you dip make sure you get to the hair line. You can even face her forward in the water briefly to get the hairline area.
4. Time to RINSE! After dipping immediately rinse the dye out of the hair. Once the water runs clean you have your final color. repeat the dip again if you want a stronger color.
5. Done! Just dry and style however you like now.
TIPS:
This is my method but everyone has their own way. There's no "correct" way to customize your doll so do whatever you prefer! Different types of doll hair may dye differently. I'm not responsible if you mess up your doll!
Don't use Rit Dyemore as it can stain the face or body. Stick with basic Rit, the liquid is a lot easier and less messy than the powder! Salt and vinegar are not necessary. The hair takes color just fine in hot water, no need to boil. Read instructions on the bottle but adjust them for doll hair like this tutorial or another's instructions.
Consider the dolls existing hair color when choosing the dye color. Just like human hair you can't dye dark colors to light colors. You will need to go from a lighter color to a darker color. Such as light blue to brown. Most dolls have paint on their scalp that matches their stock hair color. This paint won't change colors and can sometimes be seen contrasting with the new dyed hair.
LESS IS MORE! It's OK if it doesn't come out exactly as you envisioned. Even with some precision there are always surprises.
