    Re: the “tacky” debate -

    Yeah, everyone should be able to share their opinions. But it probably gets annoying to Ariel when she sees people being negative to brides that are just doing their thing.

    Wicked Sweet Hair. Just wondering what brand of hair color your red is?? Do you happen to know the name or number of the color?? I am a stylist and would love to put this red in my hair for my wedding.

    Hi Stina,

    The red’s I use are either ‘pillarbox red’ from Manic Panic or ‘poppy red’ from Directions (Directions one is the best one in my opinion)
    The key is to leave it it as long as possible, the dye is natural so not harmfull…I covered mine with a plastic cap and let it sit for 6 hours…

    I used ‘punky colour’ at first but the colour didn’t turn out as it was supposed to be. I don’t recommend that brand..I re-dyed it later on with the Manic Panic one mentioned above, which is a lot better.

    Directions,in my opinion, is the best dye…

    Thanks so much for the info!! I have used manic panic many times. I have found not to have great results with pillarbox…dang it. I have used the vampire red and found it had more holding power just deposits a bit darker. hmmmm Directions I have used as well and your right about it being the better choise. Wish me luck. I have untill next Halloween to grown my hair out. Right now it is all Black. Dang why do i keep doing that. :)
