Dyeing dark hair with food colouring?

Question

I was on youtube and came across a video of someone dyeing their hair with food colouring[god knows how!]. Anyway, reason I'm asking is that the person in the vid was blonde, however i have dark brown hair so would it work for me, or would you not be able to tell that I'd done it?

Answer 1

Never ever a good idea.. Seriously.

Experiment with the semi-permanant colours (like the spray on colours) then do something more permanant if you like it :)

Trust me, it'll look so much better

Answer 2

If you really want to dye your hair a different color and it's dark, you're going to need to bleach the section and then buy a dye such as Special FX or Manic Panic and follow instructions. Food coloring most likely won't show up on your hair...

Answer 3

some years in the past I dip dyed my hair for a school 'undesirable hair day' using purple foodstuff colouring, on the time my hair replaced into certainly blonde, it appeared truly good yet as quickly as I washed it, all of it ran out. don't be attentive to roughly kool help (i'm from england) yet to be undemanding I doubt it would final.

Answer 4

It would probably be hard to see. I suggest bleaching your hair first, if you want more effect.



Oh, and make sure the food coloring is not water soluble, or it will wash out instantly.

Answer 5

you would have to bleach your hair first.

trying to dye it with food coloring won't work, it won't show up at all unless your hair is a light color [blonde]

Answer 6

no it wont work with dark hair

youll have to bleach it first but thats inexpensive if you find the right kit
