  Step 1

  HAVE BLEACHED HAIR:
  First off, you need to have blonde hair, or you need to bleach your hair. You can either have someone at a salon help you or you can find tutorials online on how to go about bleaching hair - I do it by myself. I have dark brown hair originally and it takes two - three bleach treatments to get it to a white-blonde which is ideal for dying your hair any color of the rainbow!

• 

  Step 2

  CHOOSE HAIR DYE COLOR:
  Choose what color hair you want to have. You can purchase dye online or at beauty supply stores irl. I like to use Manic Panic, which you can buy online. Make sure to get enough dye to cover whole head (1 bottle of Manic Panic hair dye is plenty for my thick chin - shoulder length hair).

• Step 3

  PUT ON AN OLD TEE:
  Put on a top that you don't mind dirtying.

• Step 4

  LAY TOWEL ON FLOOR IN FRONT OF MIRROR:
  Lay something that you don't mind dirtying (an old towel, newspaper, whatever) on the floor in front of a mirror to catch any dye that accidentally drips drips drips onto the floor.

• 

  Step 5

  SECTION OUT HAIR:
  Think of your head as a grid - put top of hair into four sections (part hair down the middle - create two sections of hair in front, and two in back). Work your way downwards till hair is in many sections. These sections do not need to be even, neat, or exact. The more sections, the more thorough you can be while dying your hair.

• Step 6

  VASELINE YER FACE & EARS (optional):
  Put vaseline around hairline, on tips of ears, and if you're like me (very messy) put some vaseline on your neck too. Vaseline helps protect skin from getting dyed.

• Step 7

  PUT ON GLOVES (optional):
  Use plastic or rubber gloves. If no gloves are used hands will get dyed. Any dye that comes in contact with skin should wear off in a day or so.

• 

  Step 8

  PUT A GLOB OF HAIR DYE IN UR HAND:
  Put a glob of hair dye in the palm of your hand (around 1-2 tablespoons). Use other hand to take out clips of a lower hair section. Rub hair dye into section thoroughly; roots to ends.

• 

  Step 9

  REPEAT STEP 8 UNTIL ALL HAIR SECTIONS ARE THOROUGHLY DYED:
  After the first hair section is fully covered continue onto other lower sections, then work your way up to the top sections.

• Step 10

  FILL IN:
  With remaining hair dye fill in any spots or sections that do not look as thoroughly covered in dye.

• Step 11

  TURN UR HEAD UPSIDE DOWN:
  Flip hair upside down and put hair into plastic bag. Fasten a clip to hold bag in place. This bag helps keep heat in, AND keeps you from making a big ol' mess.

• 

  Step 12

  WAIT 3.5 HOURS:
  Watch netflix, get chores done, clean the kitty litter, sleep, whatever, just chill with a plastic bag on your head for around 3.5 hours to let hair dye do it's thang.
  The longer you let your hair sit the more intense the color will be.

• Step 13

  REMOVE HAIR BAG:
  Take plastic bag off hair. To not make a mess; stand in shower while taking bag off hair.

• Step 14

  SHOWER:
  Now is the time to rinse out the hair dye. You can do this in the shower, but if you have a tub or a large sink I prefer to use a strong flow of water to start the rinsing process.

• 

  Step 15

  RINSE DYE OUT OF HAIR:
  Run your fingers through your hair while under a constant flow of water. Keep rinsing until draining water is not colored. Make sure to scrub around hairline to get any excess dye out!

• Step 16

  CONDITION YOUR HAIR:
  Deep conditioner is your new best friend, rainbow head. Use a deep conditioner on your newly dyed hair (normal conditioner works too, but deep conditioner helps bleached hair A LOT).

• Step 17

  LOOK IN THE MIRROR:
  Say "Hey, beautiful!" and style hair as usual.

• 

  Step 18

  TIPS:
  -Wash your hair with shampoo as infrequently as possible.
  -Color will fade with every shampoo wash.
  -Use conditioner during showers, preferably a damaged hair helper or color treated hair strengthener.
  -Hot water drains color faster than cold or cool water.
  -If anyone hates on your hair you have the right to say "poo-poo on you!" and walk away without another word.
