  • Question
    Can I use conditioner instead of baby powder?
    Community Answer
    Yes, although it will increase the amount that may come off on clothing, etc.
  • Question
    Do I have to use a shower cap?
    Community Answer
    Yes, otherwise the color would get everywhere.
  • 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.
  • Question
    If I use conditioner, will it dry and can I sleep in it?
    Community Answer
    Yes to both, but depending on the type of conditioner it may make your hair greasy.
  • Question
    How do I mix the colors of the eye shadow?
    Community Answer
    Just scrape some loose eye shadow onto a paper towel and mix them together until a new color is formed.
  • Question
    If my natural hair is black, how can I dye my hair?
    Community Answer
    Black hair (or any dark-colored hair, for that matter) typically needs to be lightened first if you plan on coloring it.
  • Question
    What if I don't have baby powder?
    Community Answer
    Use conditioner instead.
  • Question
    How long does the dye last, and how do I get it out?
    Community Answer
    The dye is temporary. To get it out, you simply wash your hair.
  • Question
    Will it come off on clothes?
    Community Answer
    If you dry your hair, then it should not, but on wet hair, yes.
  • 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?

    This is a very temporary solution. Eyeshadow hair dye is meant to last a day or less, and you take it off before bed.
  • Question
    Do I have to lighten my hair before applying the eyeshadow if it's brown?
    Community Answer
    Yes, you do. The eyeshadow is unlikely to show up on dark hair.
  • Question
    Can I use white conditioner?
    Community Answer
    No, because the conditioner gets rid of dry substances.
  • Question

    I like sushi

    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.
  • Question
    Will this work on white hair?
    Community Answer
    It worked on my the tips of my hair, which are bleached, so yes, it should work on white hair.
  • Question
    Will this work in dark blonde hair?
    Community Answer
    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
    How do I dye a black wig with eyeshadow?

    Community Answer
    Put a light concealer on first, then add the eyeshadow so it will show up better.
  • 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.
