I've been rinsing my hair and now the color won't go away

[locabouthair]

I was wearing a half wig and I used a black rinse for the front of my hair to blend it better with the wig. I haven't used a rinse since November/December and the color is still there. It's not going away.

I'm kinda happy because I did wish my hair was darker but I'm hoping there is not damage because the color seems to be permanent. I used sebastians colorshines and it doesnt have any ammonia or peroxide so how did the color become permanent? I guess I used it too much.

What do you ladies think?

A couple years back I used a red KISS rinse (twice within 3-4 months) and it didn't fade for like 2 years...good thing I liked the color.

People kept asking me if I was still using the rinse regularly...

^Really? So I guess this is common.

What red did you use? I wanted to get a cherry color but something subtle.

Same thing happens to me. And it even seeps deep into my hair follicle I think because I will look like I haven't had any growth, but I will and my roots will take months to really grow out. I remember I dyed my hair with a semi-perm color and the (random) stylist I went to for a relaxer touch up would not do it because I only had 1/4 inch of new growth when in reality I hadn't dyed my hair in 3 months. As well, when I was a red/brown color it stayed almost a year before it faded. I also did a henna back in October and the red has yet to fade. All this being said I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one. Sorry so long!

I used the crimson color...but in the sunlight it's not subtle, it's pretty bright for a rinse.

This happened to me with Punky Colors. I wanted a purple tint but my hair came out a dark turquoise. I ended up having to strip it. s

black rinses are notoriously stubborn and will stay on your hair forever. i don't know the exact science of it, though...it's fortunate you like the color!

Do black rinses cover grey hairs? If they do then were can I buy a case of this rinse stuff?

^^Cosigning!! Black rinses NEVER wash out...you have to grow it out/cut it out cause sometimes when you lift/bleach over a black rinse the hair can turn green <-Happened to me! Lucky for me I love my hair rinsed black so I guess I'm going to be a slave to it for a long time...Just rinsed black on monday matter of fact!

Yes they cover gray and you can get them at virtually any BSS in America.

I never knew this. I notice that the area with the color looks healthier and shinier than the hair without the color, since I only applied to the front of my hair.

Now I have another question I was going to use a subtle cherry red color. I know most color rinses dont show up unless you're in the sun. If I use this on top of the black will it show?

I've been using KISS black rinse for years, and it doesn't fade away, and covers gray beautifully. Even after a texlax touchup, that color just hangs on...I just touchup my roots ever so often.

This has always happened to me with my rinses; they never completely faded, and I get root grow out like the color is permanent. Idk if it has to do with hair porosity or what the deal is, but I don't even bother trying to fight it anymore.
