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 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.

DON'T USE MANIC PANIC! Its the worst hair dye it will continue to bleed on everything! Then fade to a disgusting color.You'll only see sparks bleed out in the shower but not on you or your clothes. Well your scalp but will wash off after a few shampoos. I have blue highlights and have to touch it up every 2-3 weeks to keep the color I like. Its gentle on your hair too my hair seems to dry out as it fades but feels silky soft after I touch it up. Its a great product!

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.

The longer you leave it in, the better! My hair was a very light coppery red when I applied it & I left it on for 4 hours. It turned out VERY bright & gorgeous!! If you have medium brown hair, then I'd suggest also leaving it on about 4-5 hours to achieve the same effect. This color is so beautiful! I'm in love :)

I can't speak on all the bundles they send out but I can definitely tell you mine was not virgin it was processed. Black dye came out when I rinsed it, it had a weird smell on it, and it had color strands like red and gray in the hair. I honestly brought the hair because it was all I could afford, and the hair is nice once you co wash, but the description was misleading.

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.

I am not a professional stylist but this product was recommended by mine. He especially suggested the after wash conditioner that you must leave-in for 10-minutes before rinsing. I am a dark brunette with untreated (natural) hair. So far, has not caused any discoloration. Be sure to use on damp hair not wet. Once dry, the texture is play-in-your-hair soft. This is only my experience. Hope it works for you. ;)

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 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.

yes it is a hair dye. I'm not sure about using it im not a hair dresser but my daughter is. From what i'be learned from her over the years it sound more like you need to bleach your hair to take the color out then apply the color dye to match the color you want to be. I think i would go to a salon if i were you. I'm just covering gray when i use it.

I started using indigo in November (4 months ago). My color has not faded at all. My hair is difficult to dye! I have had permanent dyes that washed out when I rinsed my hair. I only apply indigo to my new growth, after applying henna. I do not mix them. I like that dark auburn with red streaks. It looks like my family's hair color. This product is also not as gritty as others and easier to rinse out (after three rinses with applying conditioner between rinses).

Same here. I don't color my hair, but I can't imagine that it would strip out any color you put in. It is so mild and natural.

I' m not sure you should ask a professional my hair doesn't color easily but this colored it in 45 minutes but it didn't last long it faded sooo fast in less than 2 months after 4 months it was orange I colored it with manic panic pillar box red applied it on my hair and left it in for 12 hours the red came back vibrant and gorgeous but the roots needed touching up my hair is soooo damaged from the lo real hi color hi lights it's been a year since the last time i dyed my hair red my hair is still weak and brittle with a whole lot of split ends I cut my hair twice the past year but the split ends keep coming back if you still want to give it a try don't forget to keep your hair conditioned and protect it from heating tools hope this helped :)

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.

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
