Information
on Unnatural Hair Colors
Please
select one of the following:
Unnatural
Hair Dye
The dye
itself.
There
are
several
different dye formulas out there, ranging from semi permanent cream
formulas to level 3 permanent formulas, some people elect to use drink
flavoring powders, food colors, acid dyes, or whatever else they can
find.
The information listed here
will include information regarding the
cream based "semi permanent" dyes in those little round plastic jars;
like Manic Panic or Punky Colour.
You can purchase these at your
local beauty supply store, head shop, or
in our Shop.
In stores prices usually range
from about $9.00 to $14.00 (usd) for a 3.5oz to 4.0oz jar depending on your location.

If your hair is touching or
before your chin (between
lines 0 and 1) you should only need 1 jar.
If longer than your

2 jars may be required.
If longer than your shoulders
but before your bra line (try
to imagine boys!) 3 jars may be required.
If past your bra
line but before your navel (between
lines 3 and 4) 4 jars may be required.
You may want to order 1+ jar
especially if you have thick hair, or for touch ups!

Timing
Timing
greatly depends on the level of color saturation you would like the
resulting hair color to be.
For
example, if you desire a vivid, bright, or dark hair color your
would leave the hair dye in longer than if you wanted the result a tint
or pastel hue.
Another
factor relating to timing would be the starting color of your
hair.
If you're
starting out with your natural hair color you'll general want
to leave the color in twice as long over pre-lightened hair.
As a
general
guild line we recommend leaving this
type of dye in for at least 1
hour.
Manic Panic will not harm your hair as it does not contain hydrogen
peroxide nor ammonia. |
Pre
Lightening Hair
If
you
desire intense
hair color pre bleaching is important.
Of
course,
we recommend
seeing a licensed stylist for this, yet, some people elect the do it
yourself bleaching route. Either way, you will achieve more vivid and
loner lasting color by pre lightening.

After
Care
After
that
first application, make sure you rinse until the water runs clear
(yes, it
can take forever!) then blow dry until completely dry.
If your
hair color looks a little dim and you'd like it brighter, or
deeper,
now is the
time to do the whole process all over again.

Maintenance
Hooray!
You now have bitchin' hair! But how do you look after it?
Unfortunately
the hair color will most likely bleed a bit during
shampooing.
Certain
colors (reds, pinks, purples) will bleed a lot less than others
(blues, greens, black). It's inevitable.
Make
sure
not to over shampoo, meaning preferably less than 4 times a week.
Conditioner
is just fine, it won't harm your color.
As
far as styling products go, hairspray is your best bet,
moose and
gels
may leave a colored residue on your hands.
