Yes, it does work, and yes it will bleed. I used Fuchsia RIT with some Human 613 and it wasn't very bright, but it worked. If you're looking for a very pretty fuchsia I recommend Shapeshifter from Doctored Locks, its a monofiber but really really soft and pretty. But it's loose so you'll need to per-tip depending on your install method. ------------- ^..^ |

hi there ive managed to locate some un the uk so im hoping its gonna be ok,its supposed to be remi so fingers crossed!! not too fussed about monofibre as i am installing remi bohyme hair and just adding a few pink flashes so id rather it be the same sort of hair so it can be styled with crimpers curling tongs etc but thanks cos i might just get some to try anyway as the colour is wicked!! ------------- xxx Leanne |

I believe you use Dylon in the UK? That works too I believe, just make sure you leave the hair in the pot over night (without heat of course) and you may have to do this a couple times to get the color nice and bright! Good Luck! This is a combination of "Fuchsia and Scarlet" RIT on hair that is Bohyme 18/22. The color on the bottom on my shoulders.  ------------- ^..^ |

old glass jar is best ... like a 21oz jar + lid
heat the water in a kettle to hot before boiling
add a little hot water to all of the dye in a jar so the dye disolves
then fill the jar 2/3's with hot water
add hair & leave overnight
in the morning...
rinse under cold water until it runs clear
then wash extensions with a neutralising shampoo or low ph shampoo or clarifying shampoo.
deep condition & airdry
p.s. adding a tblsp of 10vol developer helps cut bleeding ------------- hmm ... http://public.fotki.com/intlbabygirl/ |

There is an old post here where I documented a fabric dye experiment that me and another BHM member tried.. If you do a search for "fabric dye" & my user name you should find it.. In short, fabric dyes work well, but you need to use an acid dye versus an all purpose dye such as the Rit dye you can buy in your local grocery store.. The reason is that acid dyes are used to dye natural fibers such as silk or wool. If you think about it, human hair would be treated like a natural fiber, and therefore you would use the same kind of fabric dye to color it..
