Hi, I was wondering if this could work as a very temporary color as well? I would like to change my color for 2 days, then wash it out.

No. I would use manic panic instead. Henna is a long process and rarely turns out to be the color on the box.

You can use it daily until you achieve the color you want. It will fade after a few shampoos in any case. Great for in-between color emergencies. ..

It's been about a month since I used this, and the color has faded some, but I had a mess before - roots one color and the rest another (failed attempt to match didn't work). My hair, although lighter than when I first applied the dye, is still all one color. I'd think it will last another 2-3 weeks...

it will, but it will take quite awhile to get there. i personally used it for about 45 minutes and got an orange sort of color. it may require a second round of dye, but that all depends on how long you leave it on there and what color you're lightening up to. i should have left it the entire hour that it recommended but i was in a hurry and was about to dye it again so i didnt care. hope this answers that!

This product is NOT a dye. It is a temporary paint-like covering for hair. You would want to use it as a root touch-up between colorings. Yes, it washes out easily but I would not recommend using it on your whole head. The product leaves hair a little stiff and sticky. If you used it on your entire head, it would not look natural.

Yes. As a matter of fact, I often use the temporary hair colors just for a change of pace. I use this product in place of my shampoo on some occasions and have noticed that the color actually lasts longer! Lee Stafford Hair Growth is a protein, so it won't strip your hair.

It's not going to work very well. The clothes need to be soaked overnight for the best results. If you're willing to risk your washing machine and possibly have dye stuck in there for an unknown number of washes then you could try, but I don't find it keen. Plus I doubt the colors will hold in the fabric very long for whatever you're trying to dye. Additionally, it may be counter-intuitive to use the washing machine since the salts may become separated from the fabric in a machine-controlled cycle and the salts are what help to bind the dye to the fabric so you really want the salts clinging to the fabric instead of being shaken off violently in a wash cycle.(It also won't even be good to use the washing machine to rinse the clothes once they're done soaking in dye, either, because that's a huge waste of water as rinsing the dye takes forever and a wash cycle will never be as thorough as using your hands and a water hose.)I would say just grab a big tub and do it the old-fashioned way. Much more fun.

I don't think it will work! Red is a strong dye and the color remover states it won't work on synthetic fabrics. I thought I could change a royal blue hoodie to just a lighter color - it had some synthetic polyester fabric in it, but it was mostly cotton. It turned the most ugly color of orange you have ever seen in your life. It's seriously not worth your money, time, or frustration to use this product. I'm not sure what it works on, but nothing I've tried it on has worked... especially if there's some synthetic fabric lurking in the material.

Since this a natural coloring agent, I wouldn't think there would be any reason why you couldn't reapply in a day or two after coloring. I've been using this for years because I am allergic to regular hair color and some tips I use are: I apply heat to my plastic bag with my dryer every 15 min. or so and leave my color on for a good hour. Rinse only, don't shampoo for 24 hours after coloring. Good Luck!

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

Yes you can, just rub it on with an old sock, thin layers. It should take about 3 layers to get the desired color. You will need about 6 hours drying time or more between layers.

I posted the review right after I did it, so my hair is still quite purple after washing it a few times. I do realize it is a little less vibrant, but it looks decent. Afterwards, not from this dye, but from experience, it's likely to leave a little bit of a purple/pink hue after it completely washes out, but I'm sure if you use a "squeaky clean" or dandruff shampoo it'll definitely take most of it out. Even then, if there are still problems, there are wash-ins that you can get that will tone down the purple/pink hues.

It only adds a little color and you have to leave it on at least three minutes. Maybe think of it as a "hint of color" and not really a dye. Using it regularly seems to increase the effect but you will not instantly become a brunette again.

Temporary. Depending on how long it stays in your hair, it stays it's color longer. I've had it stay black ( in my hair ) for about 3 weeks before having to do touch-up areas. I don't buy anything else, this stuff does it's job.

I have no experience with that. It may discolor, but I think function wise it would work fine. It is synthetic material which helps.

Hi, I don't know how long it takes to completely wash out but I retouch my roots with a temporary color after each shampoo with a different brand of course. So unless you are using it at each shampoo I believe your normal gray will return.

Since it's a stain is will always transfer a little color in the first few washes. It will fade pretty quickly too. I was amazed that it had completely washed out in 2 weeks. You will get the best results if you put it on hair that has already been lightened.
