naurarwen_fangorn Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Hey guys as some of you know I'm doing Tonks from Harry Potter. The costume is nearly sorted....kinda but now my biggest problem is hair dye. I have no idea where to find the right colour. I have looked at the Live hair colours but they all seem alil too dark. If anyone knows where I can get the closest match to the colour below I would really really appriciate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady of The Realm Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 You're gonna need something by either Stargazer, Directions or Crazy colour etc. That colour looks washed out though. I'd dye it a weak light purple colour and just keep washing it regularly. Or maybe something like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Stargazer-One-Wash-T...tem380013950626 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then as you said keep washing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aflame Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 You could try some spray on from Boots, its their own make I think. It's really good, I've used it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't really wanna spray my hair as I wanted it as more of a permanent thing too. Need a change of hair colour I think. Tho will be dyeing it back to blonde for C14 and the next Gmex for my Draco Malfoy costume. Might check out the spray but I usually hate it coz I have fairly thick hair and it makes me hair go very straw like. I have emailed Schwarzkopf tho and asked them if they have any ideas etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liremaer Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Hey sam if you can get to manchester on saturday i have about 2 thirds of a tub of purple directions left you can have it's just about the right colour as well. I used it for streaks a while back but it's still good to go. gem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naurarwen_fangorn Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 As to advice given I have bought some spray just in case and also got some Live Cyber Purple to see if it works. Probably not my hair is likely to be too dark but oh well will see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legolassie Malfoy Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I personally recommend Directions. Its designed for bleached hair. I've pretty much tried the entire colour range and loved all the colours. I wouldn't recommend going permenate if you do plan to go back to blond afterwards as permenate dyes can kill your hair if you do it too often. The Directions will give you the colour you need and wil last a couple of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naurarwen_fangorn Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 Found the right color now I think. Not entirely sure tho. Getting the same stuff i got to have my pink hair so yeah. Just gonna wash it lots and lots before the convention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
