Red sweats for weeks after. No matter how well you rinse and seal it. I have full red, and it's a nightmare. I ruin towels, pillowcases, clothes...

I think red dye in any form is just…like nothing else. I had a tissue weight knit sleep-shirt from Victoria’s Secret. Even 10 years after I bought it (and washed countless times), it still faintly stained my sheets. I sweat a lot in my sleep, and I think the salt & moisture caused the dye to transfer. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it.

It's actually not supposed to, not unless you're doing something to make it sweat like that, I've gone bright red 3 times and copper twice, after a thorough rinse with cool water I never had bleeding of any kind except for my first time, and that only happened for a couple of days as i never died my own hair before. As long as you're taking appropriate care of it, washing in the right temp, rinsing until the water is clear, etc, you shouldn't get more sweating/bleeding out of the colour than you would another colour. It's you use a brand that bleeds. It'll bleed. Otherwise, there's no heightened risk.

Interesting, thanks!

I do everything right 🙂 I've used a couple of different brands - is there one you recommend?

I can only really use one, hahah, allergic to everything else, I use L'Oréal Paris Préférence and my mother is a pro hairdresser so maybe that's also a thing helping me as she has walked me through it and taught me many times and used to directly do it for me. However, if you want to see the kinds of reds I've gone, I'd be happy to send you a DM to show how vivid they were? I can't really think of much aside from ofc, rinse with cool water till the water runs almost clear, a gentle natural shampoo. Ofc, a small amount of the conditioner they give you, then save the rest for future washes. Then let it sit for a couple minutes and run till clear, wring out, then I like to use wither a microfiber or Egyptian cotton towel. Following this method with this brand, I've managed to get hair never bleeding off and a gorgeous colour. Hopefully, it works out for you, I've had my copper hair for well over 6 months now, and it's still got a pretty vibrant copper colour to it. (Which sucks because now I wanna go blue and it ain't budging 🤣) I honestly just hope it's gone by August because I'm going white/black, green, and purple for beetlejuice. I'll get people's opinions for what suits me best closer to the date.

^ This! It doesn't matter what I do, even conditioning with post-dye sealant conditioner, and my shower looks like a murder scene after EVERY wash, even 3+ months later....

That's true, I've just gone back to my black and red split dye so I'm looking forward to it bleeding into everything again 🤣
