If you’re aiming for a more natural-looking fade, try adding some orange! Blue and orange are direct opposites which neutralize each other, so a dollop of Sunset Orange added to Transylvania will help the color have a more neutral-toned fade over time without changing the overall black color.

Transylvania may also fade in more of a teal or green range depending on the base color you’re applying it to, since it’s a blue-based black. And you can always look into using an after-color cuticle sealer if you’re still experiencing any color bleeding! If there’s still a lot of color running for longer than a minute or two, try washing the hair gently with conditioner only, to help close up the hair cuticle and to ensure any excess dye is being pulled out of your hair. When you’re first rinsing the dye out of your hair, rinse in very cold water until the water runs mostly clear! It may take a few minutes, but this should help ensure that most of that excess pigment is being pulled out. Like any color, this will subside normally after the first few washes, but there are also steps you can take to help minimize bleeding as much as possible even when the color is fresh. Sometimes this shade can be more prone to bleeding - due to its higher concentration of pigment.
