Dying in neon colors

[fish_4_all]

Does anyone have any advice on how to get those bright vibrant colors when dying animal hair? Any information on bleeching the hair so that it will take a bright neon dye better? Any recomendation on dyes and procedures? I will be dying hot pink, neon pink, hot orange and neon orange if that matters in methods.

google it. I googled dying with kool-aid. And you wouldnt believe all the stuff you find.

I tried cool aid and got okay colors but nothing special. Maybe I will try again with another recipe.

Your best bet is to use an acid dye. I use Pro Chem. Mix vinegar in your dye bath to make the material hold its color. Whats the difference in neon pink and hot pink? The longer you leave it in the bath the more color it will have. So you have to be careful to not let your flo. colors stay in too long.

on dying animal hair you want to make sure that you put the material in a sank with dish soap and rinse it thoroughly make sure that your material is white as possible you may want to add white dye to the material and then try your hot pink and other colors one thing you have to do is make sure that all oil and dirt is off of the material we have been doing this for over 25 years make sure that dye that you were buying is for hair not all dies will work on here make sure that you use vinegar this will set the dye do not bring your bath to a boil you only wanted hot if you need any more information please let me know if you're going to die feathers you may use a wide variety of dies feathers will exorbitant dies fast.Rondon has the same information.

you are right about not leaving material in the dye bath along with florescent.

Well if I can get a bunch of deer belly hair this fall, I will have to cure it up and send it to you in exchange for sending me back some 25% back,
