Golden Yellow Hair Dye

A ner of a napkin wetted with a little of the solution of bichloride of tin, sufficiently diluted, mordant previously diluted with water. After the lapse of a few minutes, the skin is sponged clean with a little warm water, and wiped dry, and the hair arranged with the comb, in the usual manner. It is better to avoid rubbing or washing the hair for a few hours.

Sometimes the two operations are reversed, and the dye applied first. The color thus produced is more permanent, but stains on the skin are less easily removed. The whole process, if expertly managed, may be completed in from 10 to 15 minutes. followed by a mordant of hydrosu phuret of ammonia (see No. 1203), gives a rich golden yellow tint to very light hair, and a golden brown to darker hair, owing to the formation of bisulphuret of tin.
