Default Re: Anyone done acid washes?

Nobody said dunk in acid after bleaching.
You'll want to acid wash any specific areas that have been bleached so that the next color of dye will not be affected by the bleach.
If the washed effect can be reached with just acid washing, so much the better, but as a rule, the darker colors are not easily washed with just acid.
As for the silver halo effect, I'm not sure how that is achieved.
