is there anyway to make this dye permanent so it wont bleed?

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.

I tried doing a vinegar wash with only a little success. When I reapplied my color the second time, it did seem to last longer than the first.

Not really, washing it with cold water and sulphate free shampoo will help, but it still bleeds

I use a permanent color and it didn't cause any problems. It is very mild and should be ok for semi-permanent.

It depends on how the colored piece is dyed and the fabric type. All cottons may NOT be as colorfast. So weak solution bleeds much less.I make a very mild/weak dilution with COLD water and first treat the stain with PLANET INC. dishwasher soap, then immerse in the weak solution. If it quickly starts to bleed a lot of color I remove and rinse completely with cold water and stop. Usually it bleeds out a small amount of color with weak solution.PS Sun cleaner POWDER is the same product and much cheaper from big lots stores or walmart. Small is $2.25 and large about $6!

Just toss it in the washer and dryer...comes out great! I have the lime green instead of brown but never had a problem with color bleeding. They look like new after several years of use, and I even used them when working in the yard.

No problem with the color bleeding. Just be careful this cloth is rough and may stick or pull on nylon fabric. Smooth on the skin but not good with other fabrics. I wash mine by hand after each use and air dry.

Hello Deb, Thank you for your inquiry. Readily mixes with water or can be blended dry into molding material such as plaster or papier mache for instant color. We do not recommend it be used any other way. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with. Kind Regards, Elsie Customer Service Representative S&S Worldwide

Not at all in our use of this and we have three different colors. Once it is originally rinsed after application, it didn't bleed onto anything.

I made a small hole that only the needle can enter straight & covered it w/ the label sticker of the cartridge (the hole is beneath the sticker). You can use a simple tape glue (not liquid glue) or a sticker. I think it's better to do, as in time it drys fast.

Possibly. It may bleed a little because the fabric is like a plastic type canvas. Good luck.

As far as the times I've used it, it's pretty much permanent. It lightens the color of your hair (I'm brunette, too), so you'd either have to color over it, cut it, or grow it out. :)

Not sure about this, but depending on the pattern, you might be able to just dip-dye it another color.

I purchased a blue one. It did bleed BUT I FIXED IT. Purchased 2 boxes of Rit dye remover from craft store. Used stove top method, boiled for 30 minutes. Rinsed, washed and repeated with the second box. NO MORE BLEEDING. Even when washed with a whites. The towel is still blue, the whites are pure white. Towel still works great.

Buy another dye. Cause the color will not show in your hair. Plus it turns dark purple.

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

I don't believe there is a way to make stay one color. I had to return mine as it didn't work when I received it.

For me, it did not bleed half as bad as other purple dyes have. That is the one good part about this dye, it doesn't really bleed.

I haven't had any problems with colors bleeding or lighter parts looking off yet! If it's a new article of clothing with those features, I'd check to see if it needs a 2nd rinse if the dye is really saturated in the dark fabric.
