Does UV Make A Difference?

[Jamesdean]

I've had success dyeing feathers, chenille and hair using Rit dyes whitener and brightener. Colors are already dyed but some colors don't have the UV glow under uv flashlight. With the Rit I can get even Black to have a uv glow to it. Was doing this before Spirit River came out with their lines of UV products.

So are you adding this to the dye product, or treating it after you have finished the dying process? Reason I'm asking is the Rit whitener and brightener I found is like a laundry detergent...

One thing maybe being missed is using a Black light or a UV light will also show Florescent and pop under these lights. I can not tell the difference in Florescent and UV color since humans can not see UV colors when talking about feathers or Hair. I can see when I have added UV Blast to a head color that was not FL before and it will make it glow under the lights, but I can not tell the difference in UV and FL.
