Bright red hair dye?
Post By Tails. 09/09/09, 07:39 pm
Hey hey, so I'll be cosplaying Poison Ivy & Ariel at Auckgeddon, & I want my hair to be RED!
I've already dyed it red (from blonde) using normal hair dye, but right now it's no where near as vibrant as I want it to be.
So has anyone dyed their hair bright BRIGHT red before? What brand would you recommend?
I've been considering Manic Panic~

Oh? I'll go look. I think I'll need to use a hair dye that's not in the "natural hair colour" brands though, because last time I redyed my hair with that it just went a darker red instead of the bright red it was.

I know! It was really bright the 2nd time I dyed it, then the 3rd time didn't have the same effect, I was so gutted. Sigh. I guess my hair stopped 'accepting' the dye. Or something.
Apparently Manic Panic dye glows under a black light, so that could be fun!

Then highlighted/lowlighted with Wakk Stain and Manic Panic.

Wash with Vinegar to keep it in for longer :3

@Kiki-Hey what colour was your hair before you dyed it?

@Freddie-Thanks! Wow vinegar? I never would have thought of that. Does it smell strongly though?

Mmm. I actually got it through a hair forum. I don't /want/ to know why I was there, but it works :3

Do you want it to be permanent or temporary?
I use livecolour for my hair as it is really nice and conditioning at the same time and will fade out to nice though vibrant shades over time- no roots!. I used Rich Burgundy for my Satine hair. I just found some pics of the dyeing process too.
Before:

After:

I stock pile it when ever I see it ;) The newer intensives apparently work even better and they tend to come in more vibrant reds. And a tip from their website; if you want the colour to come out faster you can use anti-dandruff shampoo ;)
