Dying your lacrosse head is easy and inexpensive.
You Will Need
- Lacrosse head
- Measuring cup
- Water
- Pot
- Dye packet
- 2 tbsp. of vinegar
- Spoon
- Deep plastic bowl or bucket
- Tongs
- Old newspapers
Step 1: Remove string
Remove the string and mesh from the head.
If your head is used, clean it with bleach and then rinse and dry it off.
Step 2: Measure water
Measure the amount of water recommended for the dye and put it in the pot.
Step 3: Bring to boil
Bring the water to a boil; then stir in the dye and vinegar.
Step 4: Pour the dye
Pick a plastic container that is deep and wide enough to hold the head. Pour the dye into the plastic container and add your lacrosse head.
Step 5: Flip the head
Flip the head over with the tongs after 10 minutes.
Step 6: Remove the head
Allow the head to steep in the dye for another 10 minutes, then remove it and rinse it under cold water.
Dye your head two times to make sure it does not chip.
Step 7: Restring
Place your head on newspaper and let it dry overnight, and then restring it.
Lacrosse players didn’t start using protective gear until 1930.
