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 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.

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!

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.

Hhi it is in liquid form, it comes with a spout bottle applicator tip so it is easy to apply directly to the intended area. The liquid is a little thick so I have not had any trouble with it running all over the place. This is the only dye I have used for the past 3 years because of it's natural ingredient content. Every other dye I have used in the past has damaged and dried out my hair texture. I hope this was helpful.

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.

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.

I just mix it in like any other hair coloring and it comes out fine. Just work it into a section at a time and then make sure all hair is covered with the coloring solution.

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 :)

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

If thats your natural color it should still be a nice shade of purple. If you were to bleach it using the lowest developer, the color would stand out more. I did it on red/magenta hair and a nice purple blue came out.

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.

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....

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 .

It covers my gray strands beautifully, they look like a lighter shade of auburn and come out looking like highlights. The very best part, other than making your hair feel healthy, it that it doesn't wash out like the peroxide colorings. Just remember to super condition your hair afterward. The color of your hair will also become more vibrant each day, for about a week after coloring your hair. It is work, but I will never go back to the chemical alternative...I also get compliments all the time

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.
