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 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.

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!

Wash it alone right away first! I bought blue, washed it cold, and first time the water looked like dyeing easter eggs. The second time, there was only a little color bleed. mike

I've put the violet in my hair and, for some reason, mine transferred onto everything every time it was wet. I even used the Ion color lock conditioner, tried the new nexxus color primer before washes, pureology for color-treated shampoo, but nothing would keep this stuff from turning everything purple. You may end up with a little magenta water around you if your color is anything like mine was. :(

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

I just dyed over my henna in the salon and the result was very good. What you need to do if you want an even color is to go with the darkest shade you have on your head right now. Follow the instructions for your boxed dye and all should go well. If you still see Henna then don't, I repeat DO NOT try to lighten your hair. It would be virtually impossible and the result will be a hot mess.

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.

If you have dyed your hair black in the last four months I wouldn't recommend using this. If it has been over four months then sweet it will be amazing. You will however need to do your hair two times in order to achieve a full and even color. Red does however wash out quickly! ! It goes into an orange color within about 8 weeks. You will only want to wash your hair once or twice a week in very cold water with clear (sulfate free) shampoo as well as conditioner. Red hair should always be dry before you fall asleep because it will rub off on EVERYTHING. I had my hair this bright red color for about 7 months and it costed me around 300.

My natural color is a medium brown and it lightens my hair a bit with extended use. I've used same product for about 2 years. It will definitely turn any grey you have into a red/auburn color. The directions say to leave it on for an hour, but I leave it on for two (it wont damage your hair because there aren't any harsh chemicals.) Keep in mind that henna oxidizes and takes about 2 days for full color to actually take form. When I rinse it out, it always seems a little brassy to me, but after a day it softens and on the third day color is a very pretty reddish brown. So to answer your question, I would say that it would probably leave a reddish tone on your hair (maybe seen more in the sunlight) and with highlights red colors would become stronger after extended use........ The good news is that it is inexpensive so if it doesn't work, you didn't spend $150 at a salon. And if you don't like it, no worries because it fades after 3 weeks :)

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.

This IS a hair dye... you will need to purchase a developer along with it, but it should turn out fine on your hair.

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.

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.

My best guess would be not that well, unless you bleach it first. It's not a very strong dye in comparison with some of the other brands. If you want something intense enough to dye over color, I would go with Special Effects. Their pimpin purple has great lasting power and would probably cover it well.

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.

Mine only bleed once on my first shampoo...if you get a solfat free color shampoo and wash your hair with cold water it shouldn't run
