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 color my hair and have for ten plus years, so I just get the color treated, never thought to question. Good question though. There is a phone number and e-mail on the bottle. (800)BOSLEY1 and www.bosleypro.com. Just ask.

I did not have any luck at all working on any hair color. I found it just shreds your hair when you try to apply it. I tried both wet and dry.

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.

It does not bleed more then any other bright semi-permanent. This purple did not last long for me (about two weeks of strong color), but I also was using it over already blue dyed hair.

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 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.

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!

Personally, I like the Pravana dyes much more. The color stays vibrant much longer for me (pretty much no touch-ups between my monthly new growth dying sessions), and is very, very pigmented (even diluted with conditioner the colors are very rich). There isn't much bleeding at all, and I certainly don't miss having purple hands/nails/pillowcases....

Only during the first 2 washes. It shouldn't stain the rest of your hair though

I would bleach first, so your color is even. The splat bleach works very quickly so keep an eye on it. My hair was a light brown and it only took 25 min. for it to come up.

Yes find your exact color, I suggest two bottles get A plastic type bucket which can be used later to wash it. The this g is to comb out the hairs apply like normal then acordian the entire piece in the bucket poor left over in with pieces do not stir get a wooden spoon and just push it to just keep hair sunk, next. Bottle that hasn't been opened poor over and push with the spoon, try. Not to tangle OK keep it I. There for at least four days yes four if ya want it perfect . When washing put conditioned only no shampoo ever rui s the slip. Ice water and cold water mixed well with conditioner suave works great. Make sure hair is combed out properly' good luck Yes find your exact color, I suggest two bottles get A plastic type bucket which can be used later to wash it.

Yes, you have to first make a mixture of water and henna (adding lime and olive oil is recommended) and let it sit for 12 to 18hr to bleed/release the dye. Add the indigo just before applying to hair because the dye release/bleed rate for indigo is quite fast. Blend mixture to preferable consistency and slap on your hair. Leave on for 2_6 hrs then wash hair by rainsing with water only and dry. Shampoo and condition following day.

My dye wasn't bad/oxidized. I had a great experience with this hair color. First time buyer.

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!

Unfortunately this can not be dyed. I just recently brought four packages of it 1B the color of my unprocessed hair. I added it to my locs, no problem but when I wanted to dye my entire head (extentions included) burgundy. The salon asked me to bring in a sample of the hair to test. I brought in an entire package because I had extra left, they used several different types of dye and bleach the hair still remained the same color, 1B.

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.
