    Default hair dye for timber

    in the light of a couple of past posts, trying to achieve "pretty" colours, it occured to me that hair dye might be worth looking into.

    there are some prety wild colours available.

    has anybody tried this?

    can anybody think why there might be some problems?

    Just a wild thaught.
    cheers

    hair dye might not be colorfast
    wiser to experiment with fabric dyes.

    As I understand there are two basic types of hair dye.
    wash out and permanent.
    hopefully one of the girls will jump on this one, or I will have to talk to a hair dresser:eek:

    Sorry, I don't use hair dye, Soundman, but it is still a good idea.

    cheers

    according to a hairdressing teacher at TAFE there are two types of hair dye.

    semi Permanent - comes ready mixed wash into hair can be removed. Light fastness not concidered- depends on colour and customers hair but is only meant to be temporary so probably no good.

    permanent - comes as a two part product-- mixed together reacts with oxygen and penetrates into hair

    She didn't think either type would be suitable to use as a stain.

    BUT probably no one has tried it so maybe some research needs to be done anyone got access to SHMBO's hair dye.
