I tie a plastic bag around my hair instead of using a shower cap when I dye my hair. Since bags are free, I don't buy shower caps anymore to let my hair set for 20 minutes when the dye is setting. Also using the plastic grocery bags comes in handy when you are on a trip and forgot the shower cap.
Just put all your hair on the top of your head, put the bag over it and tie it tight in the bag like we used to tie a scarf over our rollers in the old days. Be creative and use different colors if there is more than one person in the home who will be using them. When done, just pull off, tie shut with all the dye bottles, gloves, and box inside and throw away. No more mess and no more bills for caps.

How soon after I highlight my hair can I do it again? I used a new color and it's darker than I want. It's just for highlights not all over, but I do have a lot of color in my hair.
I had won a free color and highlights from a salon. I would like to even up my hair color at home and perhaps do new highlights.
