How much does the color bleed for this dye? Am I going to color everything my hair comes in contact with, or is it only after a couple of washes?

From my experience, it actually bleeds less than most dyes. And it stained my white counter, but after a few harder scrubs, it came right off. Didn't get on my pillow. Came off of my skin really really easy too

Hon it stains clothes forever I usually use an old tshirt and first wash it will bleed on to the towel I recommend using a dark one .. Be careful of your surfaces ! (Counters and such ) hope it helps ! Very good long lasting color though !

This color bleeds less than manic panic does. Shades like red bleed more than the blues and greens. I blowdry my hair after the first few washes, but after that it doesnt bleed!

When wet my hair bleeds and dyes everything it touches for sometimes up to a month, but it does wash at least partially out.When its dry my hair does really bleed at all except for a tiny bit on things its in contact with a ton- hair ties, pillow cases, and hats mostly.I have heard diluting the dye with conditioner and rinsing with a white vinegar/water mixture right after dying helps reduce bleeding, although I haven't tried those. I did put a clear coat on a day after I dyed my hair the last time and that seemed to help a bit, and also made my the color last longer and made my hair beautifully shiny!

In my experience, no. I only had the front of my hair colored, but I sleep on my stomach so if it was going to bleed out, it probably would have. I never noticed any on my clothes. It did run out in the shower, but didn't stain anything. Hope this helps!

If you have dyed your hair black in the last four months I wouldn't recommend using this. If it has been over four months then sweet it will be amazing. You will however need to do your hair two times in order to achieve a full and even color. Red does however wash out quickly! ! It goes into an orange color within about 8 weeks. You will only want to wash your hair once or twice a week in very cold water with clear (sulfate free) shampoo as well as conditioner. Red hair should always be dry before you fall asleep because it will rub off on EVERYTHING. I had my hair this bright red color for about 7 months and it costed me around 300.

I have dirty blonde hair, and the dye did not stick to my hair at all. I followed all the directions on the box, except for pre-bleaching, because I've never needed to do it with any other dye, and it just washed right off, leaving no trace that it had been soaking in all that time, or at all.

I did not have any luck at all working on any hair color. I found it just shreds your hair when you try to apply it. I tried both wet and dry.

I've put the violet in my hair and, for some reason, mine transferred onto everything every time it was wet. I even used the Ion color lock conditioner, tried the new nexxus color primer before washes, pureology for color-treated shampoo, but nothing would keep this stuff from turning everything purple. You may end up with a little magenta water around you if your color is anything like mine was. :(

I used the blue one, It goes lighter blue as it fades, i've had it on for about three months, bottoms of my hair have faded green, but in like an ombre style, so it wasn't that bad. Now all the light blue is turning into a light purple. I'm about to get it dyed again. It's a nice dye.

I bought 2 just to be safe. Mine is thick, but not terribly long. I ended up mixing the color with conditioner. You don't need to mix with a developer (or toner as someone else said... not sure why you'd mix it with a toner), because it's more of a stain than a dye. It is super dark if you put the color straight on your hair, so I'd suggest mixing with conditioner to lighten it up and get the bright purple.

It will come out spotty if you dilute it. I would suggest you using another dye. Good luck!!!!

I had bleached my hair (poorly) prior to dyeing it and in two weeks it had mostly washed out. I wash my hair with color-safe shampoo and conditioner about every other day. It's still tinted, but it's nowhere near as vibrant as I would like.

Only during the first 2 washes. It shouldn't stain the rest of your hair though

I can only respond for purple and blue. If you put heat when dying it, for some reason it has more staying power and does not stain towels/clothes. It does not leak like temporary dyes. It says it's semi permanent however the purple was permanent, fades on tone.

Same here. I don't color my hair, but I can't imagine that it would strip out any color you put in. It is so mild and natural.

Love manic panic red hair. My hair is also colored with a red hot mahogany color. I wash my hair daily and the red does bleed out after several shampoos. But I have this result with all other shampoos. But since manic panic is food based, the color may wash out as well. But this shampoo and conditioner combo treat my hair better than others. It's not as drying. Not sure if this helps...but I guess it depends on how often you wash your hair.

NOOOOOOOO. Do nottt bleach your hair first. Apply over.What color do you want? My hair was about 4 colors when I last did mine. So I could tell you how it reacted with each.

I just splat a whole bit of it on top over my wet hair after I shampoo and comb it through. Most of it washes out after the first shampoo. I just repeat. The color I'm using is close to my own color . . . it pretty much just covers the gray for me . . . nothing too dramatic.

I was able to color it with a bleach lightener. The color came out pretty good. I received lots of compliments and not one knew I was wearing a lace top. I did not experience any tangles or shedding. Treat this as if if were you own hair and you should be fine. I've ordered it twice and both pieces were the same and the quality is very nice for the price. Hope this helps
