1. Dye cost around twenty bucks in AZ.
2. Make the dye in boiling hot water
3. Let the water cool so you can put your finger in it for about 10 seconds, because the it's ready to place the head in.
4. Leave it in for 2 to 10 hours, depending on how dark you want the color to be.
5. Take head out of water and place in ice water for about a half hour.
When you want to put two colors on the head, get a glue gun and put a design on the head with the glue ( people usually do designs like tiger stripes and spots and stuff like that). When the hot glue dries, place the head in the darker color dye first. When it is finished with the darker color, remove the head. Take the glue off, then place the head in the lighter dye. Leave it in for desired amount of time, the take it out and put it in ice water. then you can see the design you made.
The head doesn't get weaker or heavier, but it may become more flexible if you don't leave it in the ice water long enough.
P.S.
If you are going to do a design, practice on a backup head or something less important so you can get the hang of it
