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!

my stylist told me it was the sulfer in it..that is why it has the horrible smell. she said the sulfer opens of the cuticles of the hair and pulls the color out. she also said that you have to make sure you absolutely get it all out of your hair before you dye it and do what you want to it. bc she said that the color can start to come back if its not all rinsed out. she used it on me. did two applications and i had a small little section of hair underneath that this happened to.

You can do as much to your hair in one day as your scalp can take. Waiting will not reduce the damage to your hair in my experience. ..mostly just irritates your scalp. I agree with a reviewer down there..this dye fades fast....just wait for it to fade. If not, seriously get colorfix. Google it and see if you might try it.

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.

It's ment to be used straight out of the box , if u mix it with peroxide not only can that damage your hair a ton but the color will no longer be that color it would be more of a tint or wash out looking . Use it straight out of the box it comes out great , it's thick , smells good, and doesn't damage ur hair . I use it to ombre extensions and my hair looked great

I used it and it looked like it took off most of the dye, but by the next day it was as dark as before I used it. I don't know what happened. Other people had the same problem as I did. Cj

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 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.

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

I used it on my mom who has naturally white hair and it was absolutely beautiful! =]. Just don't condition your hair before you dye it only wash and make sure your hair is dry when you put the dye on and leave it on for about an hour

It fades with every wash, that's why people recommend color replenishing shampoos and conditioners. I, personally, have never used any special products. I wash my hair the same way I used to before I colored my hair. For me, it stayed red (a faded red - but, nevertheless still a nice red) for about 4 months, and then it gradually turned orange. Idk how it will work with dyed hair, but I had pretty dark brown hair and it turned out fire truck red, which was amazing.

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.

You mean after you've used it to color your hair? Absolutely, henna is kind of like a hair "stain" so heat doesn't affect it. High heat might make the color fade a little faster, but that's true of any hair color. It also might make it bleed the color more if you use heat on it within a few days of coloring your hair, which chemical hair color does not do. It's also going to smell a bit herby/earthy, but not in a bad way. This stops after three or four washes. I really like henna for coloring my hair, it leaves it thicker and softer. Do remember that you cannot use checmical hair color after you use henna, because henna coats the hair shaft and chemical color won't cover it. So once you henna, you always have to henna, unless you get your hair stripped or until your hair has grown out. Hope this helps!

I mixed it with a white conditioner. Even if you want a really vibrant color I would suggest doing this. It stretches the amount of color you have out quite a bit. I had purple hair for several months and never went through this entire amount.

Yes, you have to first make a mixture of water and henna (adding lime and olive oil is recommended) and let it sit for 12 to 18hr to bleed/release the dye. Add the indigo just before applying to hair because the dye release/bleed rate for indigo is quite fast. Blend mixture to preferable consistency and slap on your hair. Leave on for 2_6 hrs then wash hair by rainsing with water only and dry. Shampoo and condition following day.

Hi Tracy, it lasts only 2-3 weeks. It is a beautiful natural color, however the main reason I use this dye, is that I am allergic to ammonia and peroxide. Otherwise I would prefer a permanent hair dye as opposed to this semi permanent Hope this helps, Antoinette

Yes find your exact color, I suggest two bottles get A plastic type bucket which can be used later to wash it. The this g is to comb out the hairs apply like normal then acordian the entire piece in the bucket poor left over in with pieces do not stir get a wooden spoon and just push it to just keep hair sunk, next. Bottle that hasn't been opened poor over and push with the spoon, try. Not to tangle OK keep it I. There for at least four days yes four if ya want it perfect . When washing put conditioned only no shampoo ever rui s the slip. Ice water and cold water mixed well with conditioner suave works great. Make sure hair is combed out properly' good luck Yes find your exact color, I suggest two bottles get A plastic type bucket which can be used later to wash it.
