What is a common consequence of improperly applied hair dye?

Improperly applied hair dye can lead to significant issues such as stains on the skin and clothing, as well as uneven color distribution across the hair. When hair dye is applied without proper technique or attention to the sectioning and saturation needed, it can result in patches where the color is either too light or too dark. This unevenness occurs because areas may have been missed, or the dye may not have been blended or smoothed consistently. The staining can also occur if the dye drips or if the application technique causes overflow onto skin or surfaces. Effective hair dye application requires skill in ensuring even coverage and minimizing potential mess, making it important for stylists to practice precision and technique.
