- Firstly, I think Manson's hair is thinning because
a) genetics
b) He's a guy (their hair gets more easily damaged)
c) Btw, his hair was originally brown
d) The abuse of drugs/alcohol/smoking etc etc that he describes in the long hard road out of hell.
e) I can't exactly imagine him "looking after" his hair (i.e deep conditioning)
But Dita Von Teese uses Garnier 100% Colour and does it herself. Okay, I give up paraphrasing, I'm just going to copy it out for you:
C: You're a natural blonde, how do you dye it black?
D: I go buy a box of hair colour at the market. I do it myself. I’ve always loved doing it myself. When I first started dyeing my hair black, I remember my brother-in-law at the time was a hairdresser, and he used to do it back in the early nineties for me. But then I asked somebody, who said you can dye your hair yourself. Black is pretty simple. So I started doing it myself and I’ve never swayed from that. I feel powerful when I buy a box of hair dye for seven dollars and have a whole new outlook on life. I don’t have to make an appointment; I’m not being charged $300. I hate sitting in beauty salons and I feel good about myself when I know I can do it myself.
C: Which one do you use, do you use the same one each time?
D: I usually use Garnier 100% Colour I think it’s called. I always look for the bluest, bluest black.
C: Do you have any tips for DIY dyeing?
D: I’m always naked, so I don’t get black hair dye on my clothes. I always pull the rug away so I don’t drop any black hair dye on my rug. I always do it in privacy. I don’t want my boyfriend around; I don’t want anybody seeing my hair and walking around naked with crazy slick head of blue! I always take my eyebrow brush, which is like a thin, slated angled brush, and I dip it in. I paint my eyebrows exactly the way I would do my makeup... like really carefully. You can’t just slap it on. I do it really meticulously; the same way I apply eyeliner. That’s what I do and it works for me. I love to have black eyebrows too. That’s one last thing I don’t have to do when I’m doing my makeup - my eyebrows are already on.
