Hi all,
I've really been in the mood to dye the ends of my hair a nice shade of pastel purple. I only have a year before I join the professional world, and I'd really like to take advantage of getting away with it while I can.
I've been trying to research how safe this would be around my parrot. The general consensus is dyed hair seems safe around parrots once it no longer smells/after enough time has passed (a week I believe ?). But unfortuneatly, pastel colors need to be frequently reapplied (about every 4-5 washings), and I don't know how safe that is for a GCC who enjoys playing in my hair.
I've been trying to see about safer hair dyes, like manic panic. It advertises itself as vegan and non-toxic, but I figure anything that dyes your hair into strange colors can only be so safe....
I would like to mention I do intend to get the initial haircut done at a professional salon, because I'm useless with hair. I'd be doing the reapplications myself, however.
