Description Showing off my length.

----------------------------------------------------
The Brief How To:
** Bleach hair to pale yellow at the top and light brown or lighter at the bottom first. **
Separate your hair into chunks (I had mine divided into probably about 20 sections).
Doing one section at a time, apply red to the roots.
Next, apply a large section of yellow. Use your fingers to rub upwards into some of the red (will create orange).
After that, apply a large section of blue. Again, use your fingers to rub the blue upwards into the yellow (be careful with this part, blue easily stains and overpowers yellow).
Purple comes next, did the majority of what was left of my strand of hair leaving about an inch or two at the very bottom to apply the pink over. Used my fingers to spread pink up into the purple and purple up into the blue.
Once you're done with the section, wrap it up in foil (this traps the moisture in and keeps the dye wet - dye is most active while wet, so that's what the purpose of this is).

** I left mine in overnight (about 12 hours total). Rinse out under cold water... style as usual, and voila! **

How long did it take it to fade out and need to be redone?

It starts fading visibly after about 2-3 weeks and I either touch it up or do new colors every 6ish weeks.

I didn't know if it faded the same or not being with the ManicPanic because I've never use that brand, but I suppose if you use the correct base with it, it will be of the same effect.

Do you think rainbow hair would look good on dark skin? :/ I am nervous.

Absolutely - I have seen vibrant colors with dark skin and I love the contrast, it looks beautiful.

This is absolutely gorgeous. I love how you blended the colors so well without letting them mix into sloppy, off-hue tones. I have a question, though. I've only gotten purple streaks in my hair once, and it was professionally done.. There was quite a bit of dye that washed out for about a good week after I got my hair done, and purple die would end up on my shoulders and down my back and stain my skin. XD; How did you wash your hair without the dye mingling as it rinsed out?

Thank you so much!

I wash my hair upside down under the faucet rather than in the shower. More than anything I do this because I wash it in very cold water, which helps minimize fading and bleeding. My rainbow will usually last between 3-4 weeks vibrantly - I've been touching it up about once a month.

Also, you can use nail polish remover or facial cleansers to wipe off staining. Works like a charm.
