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 used loreals color zap which is safer than bleaching. It takes the dark black out of my hair and turned my hair color to an yellow color. I waited two days and really washed it out good before using sparks. It allows the color to be visible. I really liked the out come of the color the first week. However it really bleeds onto your skin for a few days after coloring.mIt's just like any other hair dye, it doesn't last.

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.

Hi Tracy, it lasts only 2-3 weeks. It is a beautiful natural color, however the main reason I use this dye, is that I am allergic to ammonia and peroxide. Otherwise I would prefer a permanent hair dye as opposed to this semi permanent Hope this helps, Antoinette

I don't know if you read my previous review of this product, and I am shocked your hair turned green! I only wash my hair twice a week and I used this shampoo and conditioner each time. It did turn my platinum blonde hair a lighter violet color and my medium blonde color turned purple (the tint fades after using a different shampoo in a few washes). To be honest, I got a ton of compliments on my hair after using Pravan because the purple did look pretty cool, but I wasn't using the product to get purple hair! If your hair is completely platinum blonde I would consider a different brand unless you are looking for an overall violet tint. Hope this helps!

my stylist told me it was the sulfer in it..that is why it has the horrible smell. she said the sulfer opens of the cuticles of the hair and pulls the color out. she also said that you have to make sure you absolutely get it all out of your hair before you dye it and do what you want to it. bc she said that the color can start to come back if its not all rinsed out. she used it on me. did two applications and i had a small little section of hair underneath that this happened to.

Personally, I like the Pravana dyes much more. The color stays vibrant much longer for me (pretty much no touch-ups between my monthly new growth dying sessions), and is very, very pigmented (even diluted with conditioner the colors are very rich). There isn't much bleeding at all, and I certainly don't miss having purple hands/nails/pillowcases....

Usually after about 4 to 5 washes you'll be left with a green hue for a while. Yes, it does wash out completely, but you'll still have lighter streaks of hair in certain spots for a few months. I have red hair so it wasn't to big a deal for me. I hope I could help.

Unfortunately this can not be dyed. I just recently brought four packages of it 1B the color of my unprocessed hair. I added it to my locs, no problem but when I wanted to dye my entire head (extentions included) burgundy. The salon asked me to bring in a sample of the hair to test. I brought in an entire package because I had extra left, they used several different types of dye and bleach the hair still remained the same color, 1B.

It does not bleed more then any other bright semi-permanent. This purple did not last long for me (about two weeks of strong color), but I also was using it over already blue dyed hair.

I started using indigo in November (4 months ago). My color has not faded at all. My hair is difficult to dye! I have had permanent dyes that washed out when I rinsed my hair. I only apply indigo to my new growth, after applying henna. I do not mix them. I like that dark auburn with red streaks. It looks like my family's hair color. This product is also not as gritty as others and easier to rinse out (after three rinses with applying conditioner between rinses).

I am not a professional stylist but this product was recommended by mine. He especially suggested the after wash conditioner that you must leave-in for 10-minutes before rinsing. I am a dark brunette with untreated (natural) hair. So far, has not caused any discoloration. Be sure to use on damp hair not wet. Once dry, the texture is play-in-your-hair soft. This is only my experience. Hope it works for you. ;)

I have done that with other brands no problem! just condition really well. my gripe with this one is that it bleeds and there isnt much of it. it's really a pretty colour though.

It made my hair really dark but if you wash your half everyday it fades quick. id say only last couple weeks

The longer you leave it in, the better! My hair was a very light coppery red when I applied it & I left it on for 4 hours. It turned out VERY bright & gorgeous!! If you have medium brown hair, then I'd suggest also leaving it on about 4-5 hours to achieve the same effect. This color is so beautiful! I'm in love :)

This product is NOT a dye. It is a temporary paint-like covering for hair. You would want to use it as a root touch-up between colorings. Yes, it washes out easily but I would not recommend using it on your whole head. The product leaves hair a little stiff and sticky. If you used it on your entire head, it would not look natural.
