More hair questions

[hmpf]

Where do I get strange hair colours in Birmingham? Should I buy them online? Some brands apparently aren't available in the UK, especially some that are recommended a lot on most hair colouring websites, but you can get them online. Might save me the running-around-in-the-city...

On the other hand, I *could* just ask herdivineshadow who is Supreme Queen of Hair Dyeing...

Yeah, I should do that.

ETA: I found Clementine's hair colours online: http://www.manicpanic.com/movie_review.html - Apparently the same brand was also used in 'Lola rennt'. It's the hair colour of the stars.

Re: How long do the colours last?

If you want the actual bold Manic Panic or Fudge color, you're gonna have to bleach it out. You can conceivably just bleach the tips and then dye them, but I'd absolutely recommend a dye/toner of at least 20 (more likely 30 or 40), for at least one treatment, before applying the color.

Bleached, the color will be spectacularly bold for about two weeks, then fade to a more mellowed color and will stay like that for a good month or so. If you don't bleach your hair, probably two weeks less overall..

Hmm.

I don't really want the colour bold. Oh well, I'll probably first do a strand test on unbleached hair and see how that comes out. :-)
