| Hey all, I've just recently dyed my light brown hair ----> black, and I love it. It lasted about a month until it was no longer BLACK BLACK (which I like), so I just re-dyed it black today. While I was also at the store I saw a bunch of neat color dyes (pink, blue, green, etc...) called Manic Panic. I asked the person behind the counter if the dark blue one would show up over my black hair (my hair is short and spikey with gell). She told me I would have to get a lightening kit (which manic panic also makes, lol). So I bought my dark blue dye and the flashlightning kit and went home. (I just want dark blue tips). Well just now I was talking with a friend and they kept saying I should goto a salon to get it all done, meanwhile I am already out like 30$ for all the dyes I bought to do this, lol. She told me that the lengths I would have to leave the bleah/peroxide stuff in for would basically make my hair fall out (i have thin hair, and since its black now the box says I would proboly have to leave it in for like an hour or so). So I was basically wondering if I would be safe to just use the lightening kit on my tips and dye it blue with the Manic Panic, or IS there a big risk and I should goto a salon? Thanx for ur help. |

Hi well you sure are like BRAVE! HAHAH well anyway those bleaches are a bit strong and damaging and if your hair is weak it may fall out or break off slowly, you better than anyone should know if it is strong and healthy if it is go for it! if not wait till it is since you dont want to stay bald! lol  ------------- |
