How to Get Haircoloring Off Walls

Coloring your own hair saves you the expense of paying salon prices. Most home haircoloring kits are simple to use, but the liquid or thin creme hair dye can create a mess. An accidental splatter or squirt leaves hair dye stains on your wall. The pigment in the dye can leave a discolored mark on the wall, making the stain difficult to remove. However, you can successfully remove hair coloring stains from your wall surface with cleaning supplies and methods that won't damage the wall finish.
