napalm orange over brown hair?
Quick question, only kind of dread-related…
Have any of you tried dying a super-bright orange (I’m looking at SFX’s napalm orange, specifically) over unbleached medium-light/medium-dark hair? I’ve only been able to find photos of the day-glo look when the dye is applied to very light hair—I’d love to see if anyone’s forgone the bleach for a more subdued result.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the day-glo color—I’m just too lazy to deal with the bleaching and then keep up with high-contrast roots. =P I got the napalm orange for $3 a bottle (yay, discount rack!) so I’m okay with using it even if it won’t show at its full high-powered potential.
This is me and my probably-soon-to-be-orange dreads:

The red has faded since this photo was taken… they’re now almost wholly brown with magenta tips.
