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.

It's a semi permanent hair dye. It's more like a hair stain meaning it will wash out a little every time you shampoo your hair. With that being said it still last a very long time depending on how your hair was before you dyed it. If you bleach your hair first it will last much longer and be more vibrant. I usually dye my hair about every 2 months when the roots are visible.

Re-phrase the question. I can only answer the question about this product; I'm dying to help you here. You would wash after each dye job. You should direct your question to a beautician, if you are afraid this will undo a previous dye job done days before. This will last 6 weeks.

My best guess would be not that well, unless you bleach it first. It's not a very strong dye in comparison with some of the other brands. If you want something intense enough to dye over color, I would go with Special Effects. Their pimpin purple has great lasting power and would probably cover it well.

I just dyed over my henna in the salon and the result was very good. What you need to do if you want an even color is to go with the darkest shade you have on your head right now. Follow the instructions for your boxed dye and all should go well. If you still see Henna then don't, I repeat DO NOT try to lighten your hair. It would be virtually impossible and the result will be a hot mess.

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.

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's been about a month since I used this, and the color has faded some, but I had a mess before - roots one color and the rest another (failed attempt to match didn't work). My hair, although lighter than when I first applied the dye, is still all one color. I'd think it will last another 2-3 weeks...

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.

Not necessarily but keep in mind that the uneven color will lift unevenly with the developer you mix. You could end up with various colors in your hair due to previous dyes. IMO, just dying your hair with this a few times will eventually even it out. I would wash out as much of the manic panic as possible to get an even canvas to start with.

I just splat a whole bit of it on top over my wet hair after I shampoo and comb it through. Most of it washes out after the first shampoo. I just repeat. The color I'm using is close to my own color . . . it pretty much just covers the gray for me . . . nothing too dramatic.

Mine only bleed once on my first shampoo...if you get a solfat free color shampoo and wash your hair with cold water it shouldn't run

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!

I used the blue one, It goes lighter blue as it fades, i've had it on for about three months, bottoms of my hair have faded green, but in like an ombre style, so it wasn't that bad. Now all the light blue is turning into a light purple. I'm about to get it dyed again. It's a nice dye.

I'm sure your hair will go back to its natural color. I use this about once a week and since I'm allergic to every other dye, rinse, etc on the market, this is the only hair color I can use. I love it. I am a natural brunette in the old days and this product is great. It adds a lot of highlights to my hair and turns a lot of my gray blond making me look a whole lot younger.

I have never had it bleed onto my clothes, but it does get all over my pillowcases. I use all white ones so I can bleach them. The Flamingo Pink tends to wash out normally, but the blues, greens, and purples tend to stain and need to bleached out.
