If you want it to wash out, don't bleach first! Bleaching can make your hair more delicate/brittle and does make it more porous.

Definitely do not bleach it if you plan on having it wash it. I use semi-permanent hair dyes (Manic Panic and Punky Colors) really often. They've never completely washed out.. but they were easy to fade if the hair wasn't bleached first. It's actually kinda weird.. I find that semi-permanent dyes last a really long time.. much longer than "permanent" hair dyes. When I dyed my hair blue, it lasted for months and months and barely faded.
Hmm
Do you think it would show up okay if it wasn;'t bleached? My hair is a light brownish
oooh, you have the OPPOSite problem as me! I want it to stay in as pong as possible. I use Loreal Colour rays, no pre-bleaching required, lasts about 3-4 months :D Right now it's orange.
For semi perminent (what you need) I would also suggest maniac panic
My hair is a medium brown color and it shows up fine. :)Quote:
