I suppose this is both a rant and advice. I'm sick of seeing people with poorly done, faded hair that could have looked amazing. All un-natural color hair dyes only bind with your hair rather then chemically modify it so they don’t tend to have the same damaging effects as other hair dyes (although most people must bleach their hair before dying it an un-natural color). For this reason this dye can be left in your hair for longer then is recommended on the bottle, much longer. This creates a much more vibrant color that will last longer then if you had followed the instructions on the bottle. You’ll look better and get more value out of the dye as you won’t have to re-apply as frequently.
The only brands I have used are special effects and manic panic, I recommend the former as it seems of higher quality and the bottle is easier to deal with when applying. Hair dyes of this variety usually advise that you leave the product in your hair for all of 15 minutes. I usually sleep with mine in, so I get about 8 hours for the dye to adhere to my hair. Please don’t do this with any other hair dye, your hair well become over processed and probably either fall out or feel like dry nasty straw.
Try and find a way to keep your hair moist, don’t put water on it or anything but get a shower cap or wrap plastic on your head. Also if you sleep with it in put a not so nice towel on your pillow so you don’t get dye all over your bed.
