Has anyone tried reapplying the same shade on the day after coloring in order to blend missed spots? Should I wait a week & live with zebra stripes?

if you use the healthy look formula with no peroxide and just apply as a touch up, you should be just fine!! i still did the overall 5 min dose at the end to blend with no problems.

Interesting. I definitely use it as the base coat. I don't think it will cover the color so you should not have to reapply. However guess you will have to experiment or contact OPI for more explicit information.

We had a Shrinky Dinks book that recommended applying clear nail polish after it cools completely. Otherwise, according to the book, the colored-pencil designs may lose color over time. We did not see any problems with fading, either with or without nail polish.

Grey is by nature very hard to color. I recommend a test strip, as you should do any time you try a new product. I can tell you that Splat colors do saturate very well, however they will become washed out looking within a few weeks, though they never actually come out all the way on bleached hair. For a good look you should plan to reapply every few weeks. If you are planning for something that will be fun for now and then wash out then do not use this! Again, it doesn't ever come all the way out. Hope this helps. FYI...I love the Splat beach for a very high lift. I haven't found its match in taking dark hair to light yellow blonde.

Yes I have noticed a small amount of streaking . But the only time I notice it when I still have color guard on, make sure to exfoliate and moisturize before applying this product, I think it happens because this product dries so quickly. However it is an amazing product! I love it!

It will come out spotty if you dilute it. I would suggest you using another dye. Good luck!!!!

...Good morning, Mary, how are you doing today? I would like to answer your question well, but I really don't know about that, because I have never used any red color mix for my hair...maybe you can mix some red with the dark blonde and you would obtain some red shadow...at least you can try it for the first time and see what happens...I think it would be a nice option for your...sincerely, Nidia.

Honestly I think you may have to play around with it to find the right one. I bought natural and it was a little too dark, you can always buy a lighter shade to mix with one that's too dark. Your best bet is to go to a store and actually hold one to your skin before you order online. Also try the Loreal website

It may work but will blend in somewhat if this is your normal color. The product works well for about 5 - 6wks but then needs reapply. If not your normal color, choose a color that is closer to your normal color. At least it washes out! Good luck!

Yes. I usually just use water but baking soda and water may be even better. Start with a lower concentration and don't leave it on long. And a day or two later redo the same spot. Good luck!

Don't use is for a few of days and you will lose your buildup. I've not had any trouble with ugly buildup, but I am careful with use around dry areas like knees and heels. I have fair skin and it gives me a really nice tan with daily use, but my tan will fade quickly if I don't apply the Malibu "Hemp" for several days.

Not that I've seen, Aaron. I tested a couple of swatches using 90% isopropyl alcohol on a cotton swab. The colors slightly blended, and there was some pigment pick up. So I guess these aren't as useful from an artist's point of view, but they do the job for what I use them for. Good luck!

I have a few stray marks on my canopy (light blue stroller) and I couldnt get them off w water and Resolve. Not sure what to do ... Before I ever used this, I had contacted UB re. Pre-treating it and they told me not to as it was already pre-treated for stains.

I had a bit of discoloring, but the kids enjoyed their mums purple streaks! I had fun for a couple days, then went back to a professional. Good luck!

I'm sure if you mixed enough you would see the result. You may want to test it first on a small batch to see if the color would remain consistent once dry. This stuff does dry much darker than originally, so be prepared for that.It's cheap enough, I would say give it a try. But don't be too disappointed if it wouldn't match just right, as the previous comment noted.
