Dye Blocks (Color Blocks)
Solid wax-based color blocks that melt into wax for easy, no-mess coloring. Dye blocks are beginner-friendly, create consistent colors, and eliminate measuring, although chipping off the correct amount of dye can be tricky for consistent results in tone. Shave small amounts or melt entire blocks for deep colors.
