How to Clean Hair Coloring From the Wall

While a box of hair dye costs approximately $10, getting highlights or a full color done professionally can cost $50 or more. A major drawback of dying your hair at home is the mess that color inflicts on your clothes, skin, towels and in your shower. Occasionally it gets on other surfaces, such as walls, and requires some effort to remove before it stains.
