Has anyone dyed the rush fiber? If so, what did you use to do so? I bought four of these, and the fiber on one of them is much lighter in color.

I would think you would have to use a paint on a wood stain. Even then you would probably have to do all four for a good match.

I used it and had color in my hair. I have now returned to my natural color. I ordered another batch and am now using it again. Unfortunately I have just learned my hair loss may be due to medication I'm taking. Nonetheless I don't see further loss so I'm taking my chances.

There is a natural indigo dye you can use to make it darker. I found a lot of help on Youtube.

You can buy their clear color which is good for turning the colors lighter but you can always just mix the dye with some regular white-colored conditioner

Yah I didn't have a problem with that. I have natural blonde hair and dye it dark brown and did root touch ups all the time with using this. It's nice it feels like a leave in conditioner when applying it.

I've use 'hard' fiber wheels like these to polish small metal pieces and they work very well; though they may not reach fine crevices of softer wheels. I recently bought a box of 'medium' and there's a big difference between hard and medium. When using the medium I was surprised at how many fibers (and cents) were shed airborne in the polishing process - and glad I was doing this in the garage. The mediums don't last as long as the hards either. These are advertised as 'soft', so I'm guessing that the fibers are even more loosely wound than on the medium variety, so how's the fiber snowstorm for those of you using these soft wheels?

My dye wasn't bad/oxidized. I had a great experience with this hair color. First time buyer.

The response I got from NOW Foods on this issue: No Worry. This is a concentrated extract. Some of the new material is very light. A natural variance and within our specification reflective of a higher concentration in the original material. We've tested and confirmed the lighter color product for identity, purity, and potency.

Th,e only way to dye it that I know of , is by using sharpies... Regular dye wont take on Synthetic fibers. You can use low heat.. Just be careful not to keep it on one section ,too long, or it can burn it!

On my friend (bleached to dirty blonde from dark brown) it turned (in ~1.5h) nice medium-dark blue-purple. She likes it :)

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.

I've been using this stuff for quite a while & I was really put off by the color as well. It used to be so much darker. Mine did not have a bad smell ... it just seemed like they had diluted it. I contacted the company & they said that they have a new "processing system" but they assured me that they weren't diluting it. I don't know if I believe it because it doesn't seem to have the same effects that it had before. With that said, I am still using it.

I have an older Epson and was wanting to replace it for that very reason. I can't print anything when any color is out. So it says I need to replace the light blue and won't let me print anything until I do. Since I never use color, I'm guessing the blue just dried out. At any rate, I can't figure how to override that and just use black. Maybe it is just an Epson thing, as you said, to get us to buy more ink. I'm with you, I want to keep going until the ink fades and I can really see it is almost out.

well mine is streaked but mostly bblond-- the blond is very light but blends well. If it were me i would buy both brunette and blond and do a mix. this is a great product -- good for your hair too. keeps me an extra week or so between root dye visits.

Speaking for me. I have dark hair. It appears to be the same color. I don't detect that it has darkend my hair, nor has it made it lighter. I generally use it as a hot oil treatment overnight. Sorry, don't know how much help I was to you.

Frankly I had a bad experience with the only time I washed one and then dried it. It turned into an unusable blob of yarn. Perhaps Woolite hand wash and line dry? That is what I will eventually try with this one. I can't remember my mom ever washing hers. She probably just got a new one.

Directions say only to test for colorfastness before using. I have not used on wool - cotton, synthetic fibers only. Results have been outstanding on these fabrics.
