In order to effectively remove metallic dye from the hair, the first step is to use 70% alcohol. This is because metallic dyes are typically water-resistant, so using plain water or shampoo will not be as effective. Applying conditioner, option A, may help to soften the hair and make it easier to remove the dye, but it will not fully remove it. Shampooing, option C, may only spread the dye further on the hair and not actually remove it. Rinsing with water, option D, will not have enough power to remove the dye on its own. Therefore, the best option is to use 70% alcohol to break down the metallic dye and begin the removal process.
