Leave the dye in longer than they tell you to. Don't condition before embarking on the project; you'll want to use conditioner afterwards, because bleach does nasty things to hair.
I usually leave the dye in a couple hours, while doing other things. Rinse out the excess, using some shampoo.
Expect to leave a smudge on your pillowcase for the first week, at least. You'll get colored run-off in the shower for a little while, too.
