Permanent hair color

Is there a way to get it to stick without bleaching and have it show up? I ask because I just got blueblack streaks in my naturally dark brown hair and they hardly show and the guy said they would only fade more. It was kinda expensive for a semi-permanent thing and I was hoping for a color that was more visible. Any advice?

*sighs* Trivial, I know, but it depressed me... I want blue, darnit!

edit- and why won't the color show up on the subject, either? I am just having a bad day with it. Updated On: 10/5/04 at 08:27 PM

Go to a place where they sell machinery maintenance stuff and ask for "highpoint blue" it might also be called "Prussian Blue."

It is used to inspect machinery parts of inperfections in surfaces that are very tiny.

That stuff stains skin for WEEKS. If it don't turn your hair blue, nothing will.

Not on the board, Nugget. There it just looks like the html code.

Ok, Rodney, where can I find this stuff? And application tips? I don't want nasty tacky blue, just something subtle.

Whoa.

I'm kidding that stuff SERIOUSLY will stain your skin for a LONG time. It CAN'T be good for you.

It's like petroleum based and very thick.

Oh.

In that case, my original question still stands. *sigh* It was way too expensive for what it was. I want it to show up at least.

i can't think of anything besides bleaching...i have natural black hair(cuz i'm asian) i've dyed my hair numerous times and lots of colors including blue, and i've had to bleach it before putting the color on but the blue will fade no matter what i had to go back every couple weeks and have it redyed cuz it faded so much

I think Rob and Craig fixed it so you couldn't change the color. I founf the loophole many moons ago but was kind enough to remove it after awhile.
