General ranting/talking here
« on: April 17, 2008, 11:43:35 pm »
Yep, this thread is just for ranting/talking, as the title suggests. Did you have a strange day? Was it exceptionally good? Did something happen that you want to share about with people? Post it here!

Okay, this happened to me, and its occurrence prompted me to start this thread:
Tonight I decided to dye my hair with Color Silk hair color. I've used different brands in the past, but what I find is that no matter what color it is, even if it's permanent, the dye fades from my hair within a matter of a couple of weeks, leaving me with my natural color. Thus, I purchased Color Silk - a brand I've never used before - in hopes it would stay on my hair like permanent color should.
Okay, so the color I chose was black. I mixed it correctly and allowed it to develop on my hair for the proper time, but when it came time to rinse, things got interesting. The directions said to rinse hair until the water runs clear; however, no matter how much I rinsed it, the dye kept running from my hair! :o After twenty minutes the dye was still coming off in the water. And I was scrubbing my hair hard - I couldn't believe how tedious it was to remove the excess dye! *_*
Eventually, the water started getting cold, so I gave up, despite that the color was still washing off. I now have black hair that deposits color on my towel, but I'm not sure how long the color will remain. :P

That happened to me. I ended up spending around 45 minutes washing all the black out. D:

And then, to top it off, the color faded out within 2 months anyways. V_V

Wow, good luck with that! O.o

I remember when I dyed my hair black it leaked purpley-black stuff whenever it got wet (for a couple of days, anyway). :P

Somehow I'm getting a sense of deja vu...  It involves a poll that the results look suspiciously like some flipping the bird and the number 1000, some will get that reference, some will not, those who don't will likely learn firsthand at least some of it.

XD Down Skrae, this is totally not the same >>

The only time my hair dye has done that was the really brightly colored streaking stuff they have at Walmart. Anyone who saw me at Renfest will remember the bright pink in my hair lol, it didn't stay long unfortunately. Neither did the red, now that I think about it....it was my regular brand, but it was called "Fire Reds" or something like that, some category of really bright bright reds they had that was really liquidy and washed away not long after. And usually dye stays in my hair really well...

The streaks came out after like, 5 washes maybe. Although there was a pinky sheen to my hair where it was for a long time XD the red took a few weeks I think.

I'm pretty sure it did, yeah. By the time I realized it was fading out I didn't have the box anymore. I think it was just really crappy quality...
