I want to bleach my hair then dye it blue-black, so how soon after bleaching can I dye it?
I dyed my hair black back in December of 2007, and I want to dye it blue-black with Raw Demi-permanent dye from Hot Topic. I know if I dye my hair blue-black with it already being black I won't be able to see the blue in it. I really don't want to be a blonde for a long period of time. So how long should I wait between bleaching and then dying it again?
Demi permanent dye isn't very damaging to your hair due to the fact that it will wash out little by little every time you take a shower. It's just pigments being thrown on and it more or less will probably be more conditioning than a permanent dye. If it doesn't need developer and all you do it apply it out of the tub or tube it's in than it should be fine to put it right on but make sure you condition the hell out of your hair after you bleach it or else it will feel like straw. If you want to play it on the safe side and of course you definitely want the best quality of blue-black rather than it looking half assed and not lasting for very long I would bleach it and then wait for the next time you want to take a shower to let your hair get good and dirty, it's better to dye your hair when it's not clean in case you didn't know. So if you really despise blonde hair that much it should be fine to just put it right in after you dry it very well, can't put it on wet hair. but if you want it to last longer I'd wait till the next shower so you can give your hair a day or so to breath per say. hope that helped=]
