    Hey Guys,

    Not sure if this is in the right forum so mods please feel free to move. I have red hair (bottle dye), using Schwarzkopf Live Permanent Dye. When I shower for the first few weeks obviously there is red in the water, but I was wondering would this be the case with swimming too, as it is not hot water? I have recently joined a gym and would like to use the pool, sauna, and steam jacuzzi, but I am concerned that the hair dye will run. After a few weeks I would be fine but I would love to go now!

    It will bleed - I have been in a sauna with dye dripping down my face and neck - even though my hair was tied back - due to a fresh dye job (not a good look, and it was all over my towel when I wiped my face!). I have heard a horror story from one of my friends about someone getting into a pool and their dye bleeding so I haven't tried this myself (too chicken to embarrass myself!). If I were you, I would wait until taking the plunge! Maybe after a few washes it would be safe to go into the pool but I don't know about anywhere there is a lot of heat!

    I was using that dye when I went on holidays earlier this year. It had stopped bleeding in the shower by the time we went but I did find that by the time I was going home again I was a ginger with my viberent red gone :(
    I dyed a lot of hotel towels after the pool but didn't run while I was swimming or anything
