I'm using Electric Lizard Green, 1st time dyer, and 1 sideburn keeps ending up dark green, not bright green like the rest of my hair. Suggestions?

My guess is one of your sideburns is darker than the other. Bodies are weird that way. Did you pre-lighten or are you dying over your natural color? You could just go with it, or you could pre-lighten it to make the color equal out more. If you haven't already, poke around the Manic Panic site; they have how tos, tips and tricks for every situation. (http://www.manicpanic.com/tips.html). If you don't want to go buy a whole new product to lighten just one sideburn, check if you have some hydrogen peroxide. You can squirt that on leave for the desired amount of time (a few minutes to half an hour, depending on what you're going for). If your hair is dark, this won't get it white, but rather just lighter and maybe orangey, but you're dying over that anyway. Or you could go the whole pre-lightener route. Good luck!

Did you bleach first? Facial hair often tends to be thicker than head hair, making it more difficult for it to absorb all the dye.

it all depends on how light that section of your hair is. the lighter our hair is, the brighter your color will look. The only thing you can do is bleach that section out again (but for only a short amount of time), or just accept that funky spot as part of your unintentional style :)

I had mine for longer than only a few months but it did start losing heat. I think it may be because of element getting clogged due to hair product but I would check with manufacturer to get clear answer and possible solution.

I have thick color treated hair. I put Argan oil in my hair when it's damp. Because you can adjust the heat I have never had any real problem with burnt hair. You just have to be careful not to hold it too long!

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

I have noticed that my Plugged iron has plates 2-3 mm longer, and tried some ther that claimed their plates even longer than usual length - that was true. But the results from everything I've tried before cannot be compared to moriccanoil hot iron. I think, the end result is what matters the most - hair looks gorgeous! My friend tried it as well and noticed the difference in using it and how her hair looked. Enjoy the product!

You could use a brown filler and it will be a little dark the first week or so.Or get a neutral protein filler.Go ahead and try it; it made a huge difference for me, and my hair was not taking color at all.

I have the same issue. If I use enough to get it to stay, I have issues with the white clumps showing up. If I use a small amount, it doesn't hold well enough. Thinking of trying a different brand, or maybe a darker color that will match my 'stache better.

Mine is "orangish" yellow when dry. Doesn't seem to get very dark green either, but when in doubt I microwave. Been really happy with this product.

I'm not sure. I used the delicious dark brown. I had cooper blond highlights prior to using now my hair has reddish brown highlights in the summer.

I was able to get the greens to show ok but the blues and reds didn't seem to show very much. I didn't use the heat treatment, that might have helped.

Hi! You can wear gel. The instruction say to put the caboki on first, then the product. I've done it both ways but always with a lot of care. I think if your new at using caboki, try going by the book first and then see what works for you. Another tip is to use one tone darker than your hair on crown and true color on front or bang area. Have a flat open brush and gently pass through top of hai without touching your scalp. This evens out the hair and further conceals the product. Lastly, use on clean or two day washed hair at the most. You can see caboki fibers on dirty hair. Hope I could help! Hi! You can wear gel.

It all depends on if the powder is fresh and real or not. It should be a bright green color. When you mix it with the said ingredients to make the paste (like lemon juice and sugar), it will draw the dye out and turn into a dark red paste. To make the stain darker on your skin, add some essential oil to it like Tea tree or Lavender.

You really need to bleach first, and I highly recommend the Sparks lightener and creme developer to do it. I also recommend going with the Ion color stay formula for conditioning, and keeping from fading. Message if you have any more questions. I love this color, and it's totally worth the hassle.

I haven't had much success with the light hair, am experimenting with meladine at this time to see if it helps with eliminating light hair. I mainly bought the elos for light hair on my face and neck.

I've been using Simple Green. Works well and it's more economical than other options. There are quite a few other options available (Karcher, Campbell Hausfeld, ZEP, etc.) on Amazon or available at your local home stores that would work.

Hi Turtlesaver...thought I'd share with you this update on another flat iron. I took a chance and bought the Conair YOU flat iron....while it doesn't get super hot (two settings hi-lo)...it has "plates" that curve around the sides which seem to deal well with the rough ends issue. It works best if you've straightened your hair with a round brush and hair dryer first....which is what I typically do. If you're going from wavy to straight the Conair You won't be hot enough. The Infinity Pro I ended up returning it was awful. Here's the link to the other if you want to check it out :) Conair YOU Style Straightener Hi Turtlesaver...thought I'd share with you this update on another flat iron.

I used the light brown from the Henna Guys over my red henna hair and it turned out black. The colors are misrepresented. There is too much indigo powder in the browns and your hair will be black and there is no way to remove it. I tried Prell, Head and Shoulders shampoo, which are very harsh and usually strip color from hair. I applied 100% pure henna 3 days apart for 4 hours each time and finally noticed a tiny reddish tone. Customer service rep told me the colored packets like light brown and medium brown which I also ordered should never be used over henna hair and it was my mistake. They advised me to go to a salon or wait for it to grow out; hardly solutions to the problem. I used the light brown from the Henna Guys over my red henna hair and it turned out black.
