Customs / Re: Dying DH Hair

Tabby is pretty much spot on. Dying DH with Rit dye is pretty easy. If I've already styled the hair (curled it with a boil perm) I'll just heat up some water in the microwave; that way I don't risk losing and having to recurl the hair- also having the color bleed (when doing gradients). If the hair isn't styled, I just use boiling water like Rit tells you to do. Sometimes I rinse the hair, sometimes I don't- cold water if you do; but I do let it dry completely before I start styling it. Either way, it's pretty simple.

Oh. If you use hair dye, like Manic Panic, it works- but the lighter colors (like Cotton Candy pink, etc) tend to fade after a while it seems, especially when there's tons of heat.
