Tint brushes for dying hair?

Question

I have a question... Do you really need a tint brush to have good dyed-hair results? I have Manic Panic's turquoise hair dye, but I don't have a tint brush... I've seen some awful hair dye jobs that people have done themselves- in example, their hair color is that solid color (let's say, green) that they dyed it, and there's no shades of green. Did it come out like that because they didn't use a tint brush?

I'd surely like to get some different shades of turquoise... But in order to do that, I need a tint brush. Correct? Or does it not matter?

Answer 1

you dont have to have a tint brush...it just makes it easier to apply.....just use gloves and slap it on ....if your doing streaks be sure to use tinfoil

Answer 2

i use a tint brush to apply the color heavily, then comb the color through my hair & then use my hands (with plastic gloves on, of course!) to work it into the hair at the scalp...i might repeat this process 3 or 4 times in all to make sure all desired areas are covered completely with the color...i use "special effects" hair color, it actually lasts a lot longer than "manic panic"...when i used "manic panic", i`d have to touch up my color every other week...so annoying!!!

Answer 3

If you are trying to get turquise hair how can you say that you've seen some awful dye jobs? Just look in a mirror.
