if i leave black hair dye in for less time than i am supposed to...
say 15 minutes instead of 25
will the color be less dark and intense?
because i am going for a ';natural soft black';
and im afraid its going to be too dark for what i wantedRevlon colorsilk black dye help!?
Black is black. If you want something more natural, try the soft black, blue black, or brown- black they make.
I use their dye on my own hair- so I know what they make.
Also, remember that when you dye your hair, the color hasn't set right after you wash the dye out. It take several washings to let the color soften and oxidize before you see the end results. The time for sittin gwith hair dye in is for proper absorbtion, not strength of the color. Let it set for 25 minutes if that is what it says.
But, I would try a softer color and work your way up to black. Black is a color that is a definate life-style choice. It's fairly permanent- afterall, it isn't as easy to cover up as blonde!Revlon colorsilk black dye help!?
if it says 25, leave it in for about 25
it sounds dumb but just put it in and let your hair go, keep it in for exactly that and then rinse it a LOT. it will help reduce the sheen of a vibrant color, but leaving it in less time will only make it not blend well. DO NOT put it up or anything, let it hang loose so the pigments don't thicken and cause a more vibrant look, just let it hang.
Use a dark brown color. It will look like what you are after.
There should be a help phone number on the box.
Call them, they will let you know, what you should do.
it will be more intense if u leave it on there a long time... it doesnt take darker colors that long to set
Black dye actually has blue highlights. I would take it back and go for a dark brown. You never stated your hair color and that is an important issue. Less time does not mean less except when you are going lighter. Don't believe thats the isssue either. Toll free number on the box will take you right to the people that can -without a doubt - answer this question before you make a BIG boo-boo.
next time try dark brown it looks like soft black. The longer you have it on your head the darker and any flaws you have in or on your face will show up.
I used that same exact(soft black) color and brand when I last dyed my hair and it turned out a blue black. It might have just been a defective hair dye or something but i'll never use it again. I left it in for about 20 mintues and my nautral hair color is a medium brown.
it will be.
it's the same dye i used about 2 months ago and it works really well.
i left it on 15 extra minutes though so the shade would be darker.
just don't wash it off too early or it wouldn't work at all.
15 minutes may not give you full coverage. Even w permanent hair color will get some fading- so it should go softer looking in a week or so.
Do not buy Black dye, buy darkest brown color that looks black, it will look more natural. Black dye is for the Goth look, and lacks the soft look and shine. I know if you already have dark hair (dark brown to black) you don't use black dye you hair will look like a wig. If you have darker hair your hair takes longer time for color to set. I have black hair I let my golden blond dye sit usually over an hour to get noticable result. But I always color the ends and work it up to roots as heat causes dye to color hair quicker.
hopefully you researched your color. there are different kind of blacks (blue, violet, warms, cools..) and depending on what your coloring and current hair color is you could end up with a muddy dull black no matter how long you leave it in your hair. Hair color is formulated to oxidize at a certain rate and if you leave it in to little you wont get the full effect of the color. remember once you go black its really really really hard to go back so i would really consider just paying the money and seeing a professional before you permanently mess up your hair and then would have to wait a long time to fix it.
i dye my friends hair with that all the time.
do the time it says on the box, it might end up gray if you don't.
just don't leave it in any longer than it says and youll be fine.
it might not take. do the full time, after a week or so it will loose some of its color, and wont be so harsh.

REVLON COLORSILK..is it safe?
I really really want to dye my hair black...but my hair is kind of thin...
it's ammonia-free...and I want to know if it's safe and if it damages the hair...what do you thinkREVLON COLORSILK..is it safe?
Take it from some one who has had a LOT of dye go through her hair. NEVER do box color!!! it's bad for your hair and is not like what they have in salons. it is not good for your hair at all! It is WELL worth the money to go to a good salon and tell them what you want. they understand your hair, most likely, better than you do. the color lasts longer and is not nearly as damaging for your hair. please, go to a salon! they do it great.REVLON COLORSILK..is it safe?
its real good
Unless you have a darker complexion---DON'T go with straight black. (Unless you are going for the ';death warmed over'; look!) Try dark brown instead. Colorsilk is great---I've used it before, and it did just as good as the pricier brands. It doesn't permanently damage your hair, so long as you follow the directions, and aren't dyeing your hair too frequently. Any type of dyeing will result in a bit of ';stiffness'; to the hair texture (which is why they give you conditioner). Good luck!
any and every process damages the hair cuticle; regardless of the name brand. it is a chemical process period.
now, the better quality the better results.
i use colorsilk in between colorings at salons and i think it works very well. my hair always ends up shiny and great looking
funny you should ask that...my roomie just used that stuff...i'll let you know when she's done coloring. i agree with the first person who answered this question though. its not a brand matter, a chemical process is a chemical process. good luck! :)
Ok anything like that will hurt your hair. I used to dye my hair all the time. I stopped because the dye treatment was messing my hair and my scalp up!
I agree with the don't go black if your skin tone is fair tip. And yes, Color Silk is good stuff! I've used it in a pinch when I was short on dough and needed a quick change. Good luck, but go dark brown, not BLACK!

IS REVLON colorsilk...ammonia free safe for the hair?
will it make it fall out? I have thin dry hair, and I want to give it color becuase the color is fading away...i just want some advice..please? does amonia free damage hair?IS REVLON colorsilk...ammonia free safe for the hair?
Ammonia free is usually considered safer for the hair than those with ammonia. I'm 40 years old, going grey and I use Clairol Natural Instincts and I get lots of compliments on my hair color and shine. It's mild enough to use every four weeks, and I use Tresemme shampoo and conditioner for colored hair every day and the color lasts.IS REVLON colorsilk...ammonia free safe for the hair?
read it on the box
It is still damaging but when you are finished dying your hair, buy Pantene Pro-v Restoritives CONDITIONER (for damaged hair) and let it sit on your hair for a few hours...
i tried revlon colorsilk and i really didn't like it. it seemed to fade very fast. herbal essence is a less-damaging brand as well, maybe you should check that out!
p.s. no hair dye is completely undamaging. the best way to cope is using deep conditioner. since it's summer you can put it in and then sit outside in the sun, it'll make it work better! i like the feria brand deep conditioner (you have to get this at a beauty supply store i think) and also the deep hydrating treatment by pantene pro-v.

Revlon Colorsilk hair dye question please!?
ive just used the revlon colorsilk product and i have almost half of the bottle extra of the cream.i use that to have my lowlights instead of dying my whole hair..so can i keep the remaining cream for later use if i want to re dye? if yes, how long...please state how long it is...Revlon Colorsilk hair dye question please!?
Nope. Once you mix the dye components (usually a small vial of liquid dye into the applicator bottle cream) you have to use it right away. It'll keep reacting, spill out of the bottle, and make a mess of wherever you're keeping it. Plus, it loses potency and won't color your hair a week from now, or whenever you'd use it again.
You can keep it as long as it takes to dye, rinse, blow dry, decide you need more color, and dye again, but only if that all happens in a few hours.
