Hair dying?

So, i often dye my hair pretty rainbowy colors. I use this brand Adore, and just found out it has collagen :-\ I was wondering if anyone knows of any cheap, good, animal friendly hair dye brands? (NOT manic panic, bleh, i hate manic panic) I get like a 4oz thing of Adore for 5 bucks. Eh.. Stupid hair dye
So, i found a site online that says there are no animal products, so i think i'm just thinking things.
It says "hydrolyzed collagen" So.. ???
Manic Panic!

I'd just make a giant strawberry-blueberry smoothie, drink some, then dip my hair in what's left after making sure the blender's unplugged/solar panels are deactivated...possibly while relaxing on the beach...possibly while sipping wine.
Manic panic is lamee, whenever i've used it it washes out soon, you get way less for double the price, and turns out odd colors even with bleaching =[ i'll try to find a picture of my last hair dying with manic panic failure. bleh.
I like the smoothie idea!! reminds me of when i tried to do it with koolaide but just wound up turning the whole bathroom bright red.

Thats what happened this summer, it was suposed to be bright blue and hot pink.. and it was fully bleached first... bleh. Thats after dying it twice. I used to use manic panic but eh.

That's disappointing. I'm sorry.

Sounds pretty time-effective to dye your hair while simultaneously painting your bathroom. Hopefully you were using sufficient garlic-garlic pasta sauce to ward of the vampombic Kraft beast that feeds on the mind matters and tongues of impressionable youth? Do you think it's possible to eat chocolate while doing backflips and calculating differential equations in your head? What the hell?

Your ideas are so crazy, yet so fascinating. Intriguing even. I play out your scenarios in my head.
I've always had such great success with Manic Panic! I'm surprised it doesn't work for you :(

But eh, i dont trust it now, nor want to spend 10 dollars on a tiny thing of hair dye
I'm kind of bummed cause i just bought a new thing of sunny yellow adore, i'm going to use it still, but eh, i would like to find something nicer, theres one other colorful type at the store i buy adore at, mabye that ones better. (though much smaller bottles :()
theres a brand called special effects (flik mentioned it once i think) it's vegan and allegedly works better than manic panic. i dyed my hair purple (only bleaching a few streaks first) and it was cool for like...a week. now it's gone. i left it in for two hours and used a hair dryer AND only washed my hair every other day. lame.
capture, im super jealous of your hair. it turned out so bright! i want it. (:

Excellent. Mental exercises. We can do sudoku puzzles later. For now, we must dye our hair wild colors and flail it like head-banging muppets rocking out at a System of a Down concert (ignore the fact that they're on hiatus).

I dislike sukoku and dying hair wild colors (no offense to those of you that can pull it off; it's not going to get me a job where I want to work atm).
Can we do crossword puzzles instead, or get pierced and tattooed?

Ok. Compromise: We'll get tattoos of pierced muppets, while playing Scrabble and eating TJ's vegan Roasted Vegetable Pizza.
Deal.

I always use Special effects and it rocks. If you can,put it in, use an old pillowcase and sleep with it in overnight. I wash my hair everyday and it lasts about a month. Maybe you had problems because of the colour? I know blue and green NEVER last more than a week, and they fade so .. ugly.I use their "deep purple" and I don't have to bleach.
Does anyone else get allergic reactions to hair dye since getting tattoed?I don't have problems with special effects, but everything else makes my tattoos break out in hives...
That picture of the "blue" and "pink" was the day after, without washing.. eh.
I'll have to try special effects sometime, but isnt that expensive? I just cant think of where it is down here, hot topic has dye hard and raw, and spencers has manic panic, the hair store i go to doesnt have them. hm.
