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 used loreals color zap which is safer than bleaching. It takes the dark black out of my hair and turned my hair color to an yellow color. I waited two days and really washed it out good before using sparks. It allows the color to be visible. I really liked the out come of the color the first week. However it really bleeds onto your skin for a few days after coloring.mIt's just like any other hair dye, it doesn't last.

I have dirty blonde hair, and the dye did not stick to my hair at all. I followed all the directions on the box, except for pre-bleaching, because I've never needed to do it with any other dye, and it just washed right off, leaving no trace that it had been soaking in all that time, or at all.

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.

Yes. What are you dying? I used it to dye the tips of my hair blue. All I did was make it into a paste with a little water let it sit on hair for about 20 min rinse it out and it will be the prettiest blue! If your hair is a light blonde...

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.

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.

My hair is actually color treated! Light brown too. No it didn't darken my hair at all. I'm at the end of my bottle and since I've gotten it I've seen at least 2 inches of growth though, so I'm getting the roots re-colored soon. And no redness either. I just put a little bit on my head at night, wrap it up and keep it moving.

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.

The longer you leave the dye in the richer the red you'll get. I have almost brown hair and so my results are much darker. The lighter you are the color seems to stand out more vibrantly in my opinion. Especially with hi-lights. The color will bleed for a good week but will eventually slow down. Try to use some lavender oil to make the smell a little better. The more you dye your hair the richer the color you get. I've actually mixed different henna reds and get radical results. Its up to you tho. I've been using henna for a year and it never ever fades. I will always use it.It also helps to get a good deep conditioner to make your hair easier to brush through. Just remember to rinse hair thoroughly, as long as possible henna is hard to get out and makes your scalp itch. I also buy my own gloves, the ones that come in the package suck, their too big and cheap. Best of luck .

In my experience, no. I only had the front of my hair colored, but I sleep on my stomach so if it was going to bleed out, it probably would have. I never noticed any on my clothes. It did run out in the shower, but didn't stain anything. Hope this helps!

Usually after about 4 to 5 washes you'll be left with a green hue for a while. Yes, it does wash out completely, but you'll still have lighter streaks of hair in certain spots for a few months. I have red hair so it wasn't to big a deal for me. I hope I could help.

I used it on my mom who has naturally white hair and it was absolutely beautiful! =]. Just don't condition your hair before you dye it only wash and make sure your hair is dry when you put the dye on and leave it on for about an hour

I can only respond for purple and blue. If you put heat when dying it, for some reason it has more staying power and does not stain towels/clothes. It does not leak like temporary dyes. It says it's semi permanent however the purple was permanent, fades on tone.

At first...just like any other hair color or dye. You have to put it on thick anyway, and it won't stain your hair line as you would think of the traditional henna (I based my hairline with vaseline to protect it anyway), so just remember to apply it thick to cover your gray - like mud!! It's worth it if you are trying to move away from chemicals. The color is subtle at first, but is vibrant as time goes on and especially in natural light. I do find however, that the gray does come thru the color - it's very strong - and if you use the auburn, your gray will look kind of orangey after a while. At least mine did!

Unfortunately the answer would be yes -- it will fade slightly. I love this dye and especially this color, but I always wash the dyed articles separately from other articles, and it does seem to fade slightly. Be sure to use salt when dying with Rit Dye because it does seem to help fabric hold the color. And even though I notice a slight fading over time, I still feel that the results are very good.
