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.
