Random question for anyone who might know:
Anyone know of a product I can use to temporarily dye white hair that does NOT dye skin?
It's for electrolysis.
I have a lot of pure white hair. And lidocaine injections turn the skin much paler. Turns mine, in fact, the color of my white hair.
Which makes them hard to find, especially ones that have been zapped previously but not fully killed, and so grew back thinner and finer.
It'd be great if I could add even a TINY bit of color to even just the tips of the hair for five or six hours, but that won't color the skin too and further blend the darn things in.
Any suggestions?

@EmilyGB2023 And if there is such a dye, would it work for laser?

@EmilyGB2023 that seems like a hard one to solve since hair and skin are two shapes of the same thing. Seems more likely to dye skin and not hair. But I wonder if you could dye it and then clean it a couple times, and your skin would hold the dye less well. Like when I dye my hair every couple months, I get it on my skin, but that’s gone in days, not 6 weeks.

@EmilyGB2023 my electrolysis tech recommended I bring mascara (non-waterproof), as a bunch of my hairs have gone completely white and apparently are a nightmare to find
