Subject: Spray-In Hair Dye Wed Oct 08, 2008 10:59 pm
so... i wasn't sure whether to put this under makeup & beauty, hair, or here.. but here goes!
for halloween, my roomie wants to use spray-in hair dye to get her hair to a dark brown. she just wants it to be overnight, nothing permanent. she isn't too worried about it turning her hair hard, because she will have it in a severe bun anyways. BUT she has naturally very very light blonde hair and is worried that the color won't come out all the way in the shower. any experience with this? any recommended brands or ones to avoid? has anyone not been able to remove the color? and if it does stay in, what should we do to get it out?
my roomie would die if that happened to her. style-wise, shes pretty conservative, (not big on makeup, etc) and if her blonde hair was ruined, she would be pretty upset. i mentioned the dishwashing liquid to her and she said she didnt want to have to ruin her hair (its never been bleached or dyed, so it is in good condition) for one night of brown hair

She COULD get a wig. But I used green in my hair once, and let it stay for a day or two, and I had very light staining. You couldn't notice though, because my hair is black.
Tell her to do a HIDDEN strand test, mark it with a bobby pin [so she can find it later], and go on about the day. Then wash it off, and see if it stains. If not, yay! If it does...wig it out.

hee, you aren't the only one that's been in too much of a panic to see the obvious. you should see me on a regular day! my life = eternal crisis.
she can try just about any brand in hot topic, really. thier temporary stuff - blue and red - washed out great for me. I used a creme formula though, in a box. I think it'll be alright though. tell her to moisturize her hair lots afterwards. :]
