Tea Tree Oil for Graying Hair

Hair dye is designed to change the color of hair, but sometimes the dye used to change gray hair to a darker color can end up dripping onto the back of the neck or ears and cause discoloration. Use tea tree oil to remove the dye from the skin. The oil can be acquired from a crafts store or a home-and-garden shop. Household supplies will be needed as well.
