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!

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.

Not necessarily but keep in mind that the uneven color will lift unevenly with the developer you mix. You could end up with various colors in your hair due to previous dyes. IMO, just dying your hair with this a few times will eventually even it out. I would wash out as much of the manic panic as possible to get an even canvas to start with.

Nop. Its not a for hair coloring. It is for enhancing color and shine. It makes your hair more soft shining and straight. No friz. Leave it on for 20 min. Then wash normaly.

I have done that with other brands no problem! just condition really well. my gripe with this one is that it bleeds and there isnt much of it. it's really a pretty colour though.

It covers my gray strands beautifully, they look like a lighter shade of auburn and come out looking like highlights. The very best part, other than making your hair feel healthy, it that it doesn't wash out like the peroxide colorings. Just remember to super condition your hair afterward. The color of your hair will also become more vibrant each day, for about a week after coloring your hair. It is work, but I will never go back to the chemical alternative...I also get compliments all the time

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 permanentHope this helps,Antoinette

I'm sure your hair will go back to its natural color. I use this about once a week and since I'm allergic to every other dye, rinse, etc on the market, this is the only hair color I can use. I love it. I am a natural brunette in the old days and this product is great. It adds a lot of highlights to my hair and turns a lot of my gray blond making me look a whole lot younger.

No color bleed here. I wash it with warm water and natural mild dish soap...I probably wouldn't put it in the dishwasher or use any harsh chemicals to clean it.

I got this in mid-March and had my hairdresser bleach out the bottom 5" and do an ombre. I brought home the other half tube and mixed it with conditioner that I use to touch up the color. As it fades, on me it's gone a lighter blue and purple with maybe a little green, but not much. It's actually a nice color mixture as it fades.

I use the conditioner that comes with the hair color immediately after coloring per instructions, then the next day and after that I use the only Wen daily. It's great, keeps your color from fading.

I have never been able to get the color out of clothes! Amazing, since it is temporary color! But, on the clothes I have stained with the dye, they are ruined!

If thats your natural color it should still be a nice shade of purple. If you were to bleach it using the lowest developer, the color would stand out more. I did it on red/magenta hair and a nice purple blue came out.

I have used this product many times, in many colors. If you do not have light blonde hair, then you must first bleach your hair initially. There is NO bleach or peroxide in this dye. It is also the least invasive and least harsh dye out there, and longer lasting than other strong chemical dyes. It does NOT have a nasty odor or harsh chemical smell. I do believe it is made partially with natural colorants and dyes. I tried the conditioner trick, and it colored my hands and skin a bit. So, I recommend brushing a little of the color on the "problem areas" before showering, as needed.

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.

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

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.
