Has anyone tried reapplying the same shade on the day after coloring in order to blend missed spots? Should I wait a week & live with zebra stripes?

if you use the healthy look formula with no peroxide and just apply as a touch up, you should be just fine!! i still did the overall 5 min dose at the end to blend with no problems.

Grey is by nature very hard to color. I recommend a test strip, as you should do any time you try a new product. I can tell you that Splat colors do saturate very well, however they will become washed out looking within a few weeks, though they never actually come out all the way on bleached hair. For a good look you should plan to reapply every few weeks. If you are planning for something that will be fun for now and then wash out then do not use this! Again, it doesn't ever come all the way out. Hope this helps. FYI...I love the Splat beach for a very high lift. I haven't found its match in taking dark hair to light yellow blonde.

Go with the colors closest to your skin tone...get several color...some a little lighter And some a little darker and mix them until you find the perfect match...just remember how many drops of each color you use when mixing so when you find the perfect match you will be able to mix the color perfect each time....good luck...air brushing is wonderful!

I would suggest mousse, that way you are assured better coverage. Editing to add: I used the rinse a handful of times before giving up on it, and switching products to a mousse temporary dye.

I am saying you probably did something wrong. Just try and put it on evenly and take your time. If what you are putting it on and people are going to see it, you don't need to look like a zebra. They have their own problems. I will also say don't put it on like after you bathe or shower and then go to bed. You will be coloring your bedding. I put it on in the morning and put what ever I am wearing that day on and deal with those clothes getting some color on them.

Yes. I usually just use water but baking soda and water may be even better. Start with a lower concentration and don't leave it on long. And a day or two later redo the same spot. Good luck!

I'll keep my eye open and let you all know. I tried using different crayola markers from color explosion and they don't work very well. So if you have those try it out until you get the refills. Has anyone out there tried other markers or know where to purchase the refills.....

I did try it for just that reason and found success as long as I went right behind with a soft cloth a blended. Small pinpoint areas are fine but broad strokes look like bad coloring.

I have before. Be careful not to stretch it thogh. Keep your solution that came with it to reapply.

Interesting. I definitely use it as the base coat. I don't think it will cover the color so you should not have to reapply. However guess you will have to experiment or contact OPI for more explicit information.

Absolutely. I can extend my foil highlight/lowlight by 2 weeks or more...even almost a month more. The color continues fresh and not drab.

Don't use is for a few of days and you will lose your buildup. I've not had any trouble with ugly buildup, but I am careful with use around dry areas like knees and heels. I have fair skin and it gives me a really nice tan with daily use, but my tan will fade quickly if I don't apply the Malibu "Hemp" for several days.

I only put a little bit on occassionally, so it lasts about two days. It really does take time for it to start working, if you put it on the day before you will probably see good color the next day. It fades evenly as long as you apply it evenly, not blotchy at all (be sure to rub in at edges around hairline and chin

technically yes, make sure it's a light color you get or the color isn't going to show up. I think it's too fragile to hold up to bleaching/coloring multi-step processing. I'm not affiliated with the company or anything, so I could be wrong. this is based on my personal experience with the extensions. I wasn't able to use them more than a month before they were beyond repair.

Hi, again! I did an application this weekend and left it on longer since my skin has so well tolerated the prior applications. The results were more noticeable and my darkest dark spot is much lighter. I think it's safe to say that in another couple of applications it won't be visible anymore. I did leave it on a bit too long this time so to prevent blistering I really do still recommend gradually increasing the time to minimize risk of any injury to your skin, per the instructions. Good luck! I think we have a solution. I hope it works well for you, but we're all different so it's hard to say. Take care. Hi, again!

We had a Shrinky Dinks book that recommended applying clear nail polish after it cools completely. Otherwise, according to the book, the colored-pencil designs may lose color over time. We did not see any problems with fading, either with or without nail polish.

Sally Beauty and other beauty supply stores carry liquid tan removers and wipes. Are you trying to remove one spot or the all over color? One tip when applying: if you notice a darker spot, I just use a regular (not tanning) face or body lotion and rub it to blend. I have had no funny looking streaks or spots and I use a lot at one time. I use it on my face too. I have olive skin color and I am naturally pale. Hope this helps.
