Ben Nye Hair Color Help

[LadyRomana9]

Hello, I am doing grayscale makeup and hair for a silent film costume. I am trying to pull of a very soft feminine look (think Lillian Gish, not Clara Bow) so I am going to do a late 1910s look for my hair with curls. I am also going to wear a suffragette hat so only the bottom portion of the hair will be visible. I have read Ben Nye hair color (brush in type) is the most realistic and will not stain clothes (very important as I am wearing a real 1920s black blouse) BUT I am just wondering if it is possible to apply to hair that has been curled and still retain the curl. I am assuming you can not curl hair after the application. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge that could help? I could do a spray, but the flaking worries me as well as it just not looking as real. Thanks for any help you can give!

I have found with the Ben Nye stuff, that the only thing that does too much to remove the color is water.

All natural hair colors are the result of two types of hair pigment. Both of these pigments are melanin types, produced inside the hair follicle and packed into granules found in the fibers.Blond hair is the result of having little pigmentation in the hair strand. Gray hair occurs when melanin production decreases or stops.
