If you are trying to make green, you would mix blue and yellow together, and so on. If you are trying to make orange, you would mix red and yellow together. If you are trying make purple, you would mix blue and red together. Hair is like a canvas, and you, the artist. From this point onwards… it will become your best friend. To begin, I would like to introduce you to the colour wheel. Semi-permanent direct dye – is the least damaging form of dye on the hair, and, is what is in my experience, what is going to give you consistently bright colour to your hair (if lightened to the correct level). It is called permanent because it changes the chemical structure of your hair, not because the colour will remain forever the same colour.ĭemi-permanent dye is your toner or shine gloss, which are designed to fade consistently over the course of 4-6 weeks, but do not change the chemical structure of your hair. Permanent colours are the longest lasting kind of dye, however, they still fade with time. Permanent dye is what covers grey hair, and leaves you with a demarcation over time as your hair grows. There are 3 types of “hair dye’s”… permanent, demi-permanent, and semi-permanent or ‘direct dye’. Generally speaking, us rainbow sheep tend to get bored with our hair if we keep the same colour for too long, and also, kind of gravitate to the more vibrant and unnatural colours of the spectrum when we want to change colours, so, the following words of wisdom I’m about to give you are with that in mind, so, we can continue to deliver our bright multi-coloured prismatic beacons of goodness to the world. I know, I know… its not always like the movies, but, hey! I was young and just a little impressionable.Ĭonsequently, I’ve learned some tricks and have a wee bit of a system that I have learned it is best to stick to for best results. Ramona, in the film, non-chalantly changes her hair colour every week, depending on her mood, so… I assumed it was no biggie, and I could do the same. Since then, I’ve learnt that she might have led my expectations astray. I first started dying my hair vibrant colours shortly after seeing a movie called Scott Pilgrim VS the World, after deciding I identified with and LOVED the hair of the main love interest, Ramona Flowers. If you, like me, are not the black sheep, but the rainbow haired one in your circle… and love changing your hair colour to every colour of the kaleidoscope, as often as you change your undies, in the interest of keeping your hair remaining on your head… there are a few things you need to know first. I paid for these products myself, and my opinions are in no way influenced by Vanish.One of the most common questions I get asked as a colourist is how do you get bright, unnatural colour out of your hair. You'll get more lift with more than one application, but sometimes, you're just not going to get it all out. If your hair color has been in for a while like the brown had for me, the odds are against you getting it all out, especially if you try and do it with just one application. This product merely removes unwanted artificial hair color. After you've used the developer, check your hair, and if it isn't as light as you'd like, that's how you know when to do another application of Vanish. If you don't do this, they'll gradually return over the course of the next couple of days. The developer process is designed to bring out the color molecules you've missed in your hair. I'm really regretting not deep conditioning my hair between sessions of this, so you can bet I'll be doing that tonight!ĭon't skip out on the developer at the end! Your hair may look as light as you're going for, but that, unfortunately, isn't the case. Although the box says you can use it up to three times daily, I'd definitely recommend waiting at least a day between applications like I did to give your hair a bit of a break, especially if you don't have really healthy hair. I only used three applications, and I ended up shampooing my hair twelve times. Your hair is going to be extremely dry after using this. I have quite a few old t-shirts that I use just to sleep in, so I used one of those. Vanish will also stain clothes, so make sure you use a shirt that you don't mind staining for this process.
