As I recently wrote, there's nothing wrong with coloring your hair at home, but there is a good chance you will stain your hairline. Now, there is a product which 'fills the biggest void in cosmetic market', and we will no longer walk the streets with red streaks on our ears and foreheads.

Every even slightly experienced DIY dyer will tell you - the red shades of hair color are the most difficult to get rid of. Browns are a mess, you can look like you have mud on your forehead, and honestly, the only ones who don't get peculiar hair color streaks on their scalps are the faux blonds. Well, they can certainly get a rash, but that's nothing compared to the determination it takes to remove the dye stains from skin.

And, apart from applying heavy duty body cream to protect skin, there was nothing much that could be done to prevent this. Until now - Repelle skin shield promises to relieve all brunettes and redheads of dye stain:

"Repelle is the ONLY product in the consumer market that keeps color working where you want it ... on your hair, not your skin! Repelle's exclusive dual-action formula provides an invisible barrier protecting skin from harsh hair color chemical stains while keeping skin clean and soft!"

This magic stick is to be applied along the hairline, ears, back of your neck and anywhere else you new dye protection before you start with the coloring process.

I say thumbs up - at last one product which deals with a real problem over half of the women have. The Repelle skin shield is available at Walgreens for under $5
