Hello!
Just spent forever trying to dye some dreads...
What I'd wanted was bright, pure red, but I live in an ittybitty Maine city, and a dye like Manic Panic was nowhere to be found... so I bought the brightest, reddest "regular" dye I could find. Put a shower cap on, poked some holes, pulled out some dreads. Put some bleach on them. Kept it on there for an hour before it did much of anything -- my hair is a wicked dark brown -- but finally it was something like blonde, so I rinsed and blowdried them. Then we put the red in and left that on for nearly half an hour, rinsed that for-fucking-ever, until the runoff was clear. Put it up in a towel for a bit, then went to blowdry.

edited with a picture of the front of me, so you all know that though I may make goofy faces, I'm not as deformed as I look in those other pictures
