Most pharmacies will have it. Costs about €8 for the machine wash stuff. You'll need about 500g of salt aswell unless you get the "no salt needed" pack which will come in a plastic pouch as opposed to the cardboard box. With regards washing machine, you just need to put a hot wash on after it empty. Follow instructions, it says it all there

I have tried dying my faded black jeans a few times..I have one pair I love so tried the hand dye...rubbish. Another pair I tried the machine dye. Not great either. Sometimes I think if something has faded, there's not much you can do. Worth a try anyway, follow the instructions exactly and maybe do it outdoors and it can be pretty strong smelling. But don't have too high hopes imo!

i dye my black clothes regularly as i lilke to keep them really black,especially black skinny jeans..i use the dylon machine dye (its about 8 euro from chemists or hickeys) and it works perfect.. just dont put too many items in the one dye wash. i normally put in my skinnies and maybe two or three small tops...

Hickeys would be your best bet. Although the last time i tried to get some they had every colour but black

Try and get the dye that has the salt included - it is really handy to use . I got it in Hickies redyed my fav wallis jeans last week my sis asked if they were Dolce & Gabbana they looked so good!
