irishewwie asked: So I dyed the dreads. (Woot for Lish's great instructions. :) ) But I'm having a problem! I rinsed and rinsed that night till it ran clear. Took an actual shower the next day and washed the dreads with Drama Clean. And there was still color coming out. >.< So I rinsed and rinsed till it ran clear again. But it had run clear the night before. :/ So is this normal to keep getting color when rinsing?

Lish is a goddess :D

Yeah, a little bit will show up each time you rinse for the next few washes. It isn’t the same as actually having dye left in your hair- it’s more like the stain on your hair rinsing off. It happens with loose hair too. It should lessen after your first few washes, then your hair will still slowly lose colour & fade, but you likely won’t see it washing out.

It does help, for future reference, to shampoo your hair when you rinse the dye out the first time. & I always like to think cold rinses help hold it in a bit better, but that could be wishful thinking on my part ♥
