I think it actually has to be dry, but beware of those comb in kits. I used one once and it was a total disaster. Because of the way it gets on the comb, it goops up at your roots and then it doesn't even go all the way down so you have to put more on. Then it gets on the rest of the hair around the streak. Definitely doesn't work the way it says it's supposed to on the box. She should get a kit that has a cap to pull the hair through to be safe. I

She needs to have her hair dry and straight (if not already)... Also make sure that she washes it 24 hours before but not in between the 24 ours and the actual time that she colors her hair... This will allow the hair to better absorb the hair color... To avoid a choppy look... make sure that she combs all the way through with the same amount of dye on the comb for every single chunk of hair that she does... also comb from the root down... Hope this helps...

Her hair needs to be bleached first on the strands that she wants colored (if it isnt blonde already) and it should be dry.

Wet hair wont work. And if you want the color to last longer let your hair get a little greasy from not washing it and brush your hair cause it will spread the natural oils. and holds the color in longer. =]
