Vegan black that wont bleed

I'm transitioning from red box dye to using semi permanent as my hair is pretty wasted from all the years of dying. I bought adore jet black not realising it isn't vegan, and just used it because I was going to a festival and didn't have time to get a different one. I have to say it's a great dye. I have almost 50% grey in my roots and it covered them no problem, though the dye slid off the greys after just 3 days, so now I'm giving them a quick bleach bath before using and it stays perfectly. I got 4 full head dyes out of one bottle which is pretty amazing for Β£4.50! It doesn't bleed at all, not one little bit, and barely washes out even with warm water.

But it's not vegan. Sad, sad face. So I'm on the hunt for another black dye. I work as a cleaner and I sweat at work.....a lot! Like, dripping off the end of my nose and chin lol. I also start at 5am so don't have much time to get ready in the mornings. I really need a dye that wont sweat off and drip down my face at work, and that I won't wake up in the morning with that horrid staining round my face and neck where I've been sweating in the night. I work 6 days a week so I don't have time to give it an extra wash or two at the weekend after dying before going back to work.

Really disappointed in Adore as it ticks all the boxes except for the fact it has collagen in it. Urgh, gross.

Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

Manic panic, Directions and Crazy Color are all vegan and cruelty free. I think Stargazer is vegan too (I used to use it many years ago when I was vegan, but it may have changed since)
You can check out the ingredients here: http://www.beeunique.co.uk/Hair-Ingredients.htm
Unfortunately none of these dyes will be as long lasting or bleed free as Adore. The only other brand that comes close is Special Effects but they don't make a black

Thanks for the reply. I'll probably give Crazy Colour a go then as they're cheap and I remember serious bleeding issues when I used Directions in the past.

Just thought I'd update to say I went with the crazy colour black. Every morning I have to clean blue staining off my face and neck, and after two cold water washes my roots are now darkest purple rather than black. Other than that it covers well and seems to have good staying power. Not as conditioning as the Adore, and much runnier so you have to use more product, but for the price of it it's a bargain.

When I've run out of product I will probably try another vegan brand, and do an update here, if that's ok with mods? Or should I start a new topic? Or just keep it to product reviews on the shop page?

Haha just tell me what would be preferred, I'm a noob here!
