The reed and the dye both have a\u00a0negative charge, so they repel each other; salt reduces the electronegativity of both the reed and the dye, helping the dye associate with the reed.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that though the salt helps the dye and fiber associate to each other, unlike a mordant, salt is not permanent, it does not &#8216;fix&#8217; to the dye or fiber; it does not help with color fastness.<\/p>\n<p>When using salt\u00a0with a direct dye, dissolve dye in water, then add salt.
