How To...Dye Unbleached Hair:
     

This information on this page should be treated as a GUIDE only
please consult a hairdresser or professional if in any doubt:
Always follow manufacturers instructions and do a strand & sensitivity test before use.
The following guide is for Special Effects Hair Dye

     
 

It is not always necessary to bleach your hair before using these vegetable based dyes as some colours may show up on unbleached hair or give a sheen/glow to the hair, however for a really good vibrant colour it is recommend these dyes be used on lightened or naturally pale hair. Trying to use a light shade of dye on dark hair will do nothing much so don't waste your time and money trying this.

Vegetable based dyes such as Special Effects will probably last less time on unbleached hair and also give more of a sheen/glow to the hair rather than a vibrant dyed colour. Vegetable based dyes are not permanent and should not damage your hair

Please view the hints & tips section for ideas on making colour last to removing dye stains from sinks!

 
   
  As a rough guide the following colours MAY work on unbleached hair:  
     
 

Natural Unbleached Colour - Dark Brown to Black:
Blood Red, Blue Velvet, Burgundy Wine, Deep Purple & Sonic Green
