Ahead, we have rounded up some ways to easily remove hair dye stain from your shirt, so that you can showoff that fancy hairstyle to the world without any worries!

Step# 1: Pre-Treating the Stain

Hair dye stains can get tough if they are left untreated for long, so you need to act quick. As soon as you see the stain on your shirt, dab a small good-quality detergent on it and rub it gently. Let it stay there for twenty to thirty minutes and then wash the affected spot thoroughly using cold water.

Step# 2: Take Care of the Temperature

Make sure you read the label on the shirt to see if there are any instructions available regarding water temperature and limitations for washing. Neglecting the label can cause more damage to your shirt. Wash your shirt on the suggested temperature.

Step# 3: Check If the Stains Are Gone

If the hair dye stain is still there on your shirt, follow any of the below mentioned options:

· For colorfast fabric material

Create a mixture of warm water and organic cloth-friendly bleach and keep your shirt soaked in the mixture over night. Wash it with a cleaning detergent in the morning and rinse with clean water properly.

· For non-colorfast fabric
