Question

Will this work on black hair?

Community Answer

Probably not, my hair is light brown and it doesn't work when I do this or similar things. Maybe if you bleach it, but if you go through the trouble of bleaching it, you might as well dye it.

How do I mix the colors of the eye shadow?

Just scrape some loose eye shadow onto a paper towel and mix them together until a new color is formed.

If my natural hair is black, how can I dye my hair?

How long does the dye last, and how do I get it out?

The dye is temporary. To get it out, you simply wash your hair.

Question

I have black hair, so I think that first I should apply white, then the color. Right?

Community Answer

Yes, you first need to bleach or lighten your hair. That will help the color show up better.

Question

How do I keep the color from getting on my hands when I touch my hair?

Community Answer

That's the downside to eyeshadow hair dye. It's very temporary and meant to dye small sections. Try to avoid touching your hair.

Question

Can I use this to create a toner for my hair to remove brassy and yellowy tones?

Cecilia Flores

Top Answerer

This is a very temporary solution. Eyeshadow hair dye is meant to last a day or less, and you take it off before bed.

Yes, you do. The eyeshadow is unlikely to show up on dark hair.

Question

I don't have baby powder or conditioner. Where can I get them?

I like sushi

Top Answerer

You can purchase both of those products at your local grocery store. If you cannot purchase those items, maybe this method is not the best option for you.

Question

Does it come out easily if I have dirty blond hair?

Cecilia Flores

Top Answerer

It depends on what eye shadow you use. Some of the more pigmented formulas will be harder to get out because high pigment tends to stain a bit, but not as permanently as real dye.

Question

Will it work on dirty blonde hair if it is slightly more on the brown side?

Cecilia Flores

Top Answerer

If you use a very pigmented matte eye shadow, you should be good to go. Also, make sure your hair is at its lightest, but you don't need to bleach it.

Question

Can I use the eyeshadow by itself without the water and other added ingredients?

Community Answer

It will look too powdery and just sit on top of the hair instead of dyeing it.

Will this work in dark blonde hair?

It should as long as it's not too dark of a blonde. If it is too dark, the color may not show up well.

Question

If I leave the eyeshadow on longer, will it make the dye job last longer?

Community Answer

Yes. If you have a darker or lighter color that you have made, and leave it in for a while, it should last longer.
