hey yall. i have a friend that would like me to bleach out the ends of her natrually dark brown hair. she has no other chemicals in her hair at all. and the hair is in really good condition. what i was wondering is if i bleach to a pale yellow (iside of a banana) will the red manic panic dye that she wants to put over it come out red? or will it come out more orangy?

learn to love what you were born with
you can do anything if you set your mindto it (just dont try this with hair,that could turn out bad)

It will most likely look more pink.If you are lightening it for the manic panic then you shouldnt need to lighten all the way to pale yellow.I have done this myself(lighten then dyed pink).And I never had to lighten alot to get the color i wanted.But I could be wrong.hopefully someone else will chime in.

Yeah tahts true, even in salons when they put red in the hair and ifd they use something like manic panic red on dark hair, they only bleach it to the orange stage, it takes the color better.

Definitely the orange stage (unless she wants magenta hair).  I think Special Effects' reds last longer than Manic Panic's, though.

hey thanks for the advice. im gonna do my whole head (im not bleaching, my hair is light enough already), and well both use a different brand and see whose lasts longer.
