So I'm dyeing polka dots into Nate's hair today and had no idea how. I looked online and found NOTHING. Until this little gem popped up so I thought I'd share it all with you. Very helpful. Link to original article: http://www.ehow.com/how_2222541_dye-hair-leopard-print.html
Using a stencil:
1. Step 1
Buy a commercially available stencil or make your own stencil.
2. Step 2
Create your own stencil by drawing irregular circles on a piece of cardboard or thin plastic (such as the lid for a margarine tub). Consult a picture of leopard print to copy the shape of the spots. Cut the shapes out with a sharp knife.
3. Step 3
Hold the stencil close against your head. Use a small brush to fill in the holes with hair dye or temporary hair art color. If using hair dye, let sit for the time indicated on the package. Then rinse out and condition.
Other Methods
4. Step 1
Dip the end a clean, dry celery stick in hair dye, and carefully use it to stamp all over your hair. Ask a friend for help to reach the back of your head.
5. Step 2
Buy leopard-print hair extensions for leopard-print hair in an instant without all the trouble.
6. Step 3
Visit a salon and ask your hairdresser to draw leopard spots on your hair freehand using a brush and hair dye. Rinse the dye out and condition.
So for any of you who are planning on doing this, I'm making stencils of a few different sizes and using an old blush brush to apply the dye. Hope it comes out!
Once again, original article: http://www.ehow.com/how_2222541_dye-hair-leopard-print.html
The site itself is pretty nifty, lots of cute little things... anyways.
Enjoying my day off, hope everyone else is having a good day!
