WhitneyColouring hair with Fudge

Fudge paintbox hair colour
To get the best results from Fudge or any other bright hair colour, you must first bleach your hair, regardless of whether or not it is naturally blonde. The bleaching process makes hair more porous, so it takes the colour better. If you don't want to colour your entire hair, place the section of hair you do want coloured on a piece of aluminium foil, cover it in bleach and then wrap it. For developing time, check the instructions on the label of your bleach. Never leave bleach in your hair for longer than the recommended time - it damages the hair too much. If the result isn't as light as you want it, you can always bleach again in a few days time. If you intend to dye your hair blue, you may want to use a white toner afterwards to ensure that there is no yellow left in your hair - otherwise your blue dye may turn green.
It is possible to use a bright unnatural colour on dark hair, however the result will be subtle - expect a coloured sheen rather than brightly coloured hair.
As for the application of the actual colour, all you have to do is squeeze the dye onto your hands and run it through the hair, wearing gloves, of course. Be warned - if you intend to cover your entire head, you're going to need more than one tube of dye. My own hair is not quite shoulder length and I need two tubes of dye to fully cover it. If the price is a problem, never fear - quite often a coloured fringe or coloured streaks is just as effective as an entire head of colour.
Since Fudge Paintbox does not damage the hair (in fact, it acts as a deep conditioner, as do some other brands), you can leave it in for as long as you wish. I recommend leaving it for around an hour.
To see the colours offered in the Paintbox range, check out the Fudge website. If you have a hair colour brand that you prefer, please share it.
