A friend of mine, with naturally blonde hair, wanted to add some pink to her hair temporarily for her birthday. Since she has quite long, thick hair, we had two use two bottles and even then, it was barely enough. However, the colour looked great and was perfect for a vibrant night out.
As other reviewers have mentioned, it did not wash out straight away but did fade quite a bit so my friend didn't mind at all.
These first caught my eye at New World, doing my weekly grocery shop. At $17.50 a pop I snorted and put the box back on the shelf, but the dye stayed in my mind. I wanted to try it, I needed to try it. Thankfully, the big red shed had a sale, so I picked up two turquoise boxes and went on my merry way.
The bottles were actually much bigger than I was expecting. I’m used to the small metal sachets from Schwazkopf brights range, so when I saw this had nearly triple the amount of product I was blown away. I was also very pleased to see that this came in an easy to squeeze tube. The turquoise tube is a gorgeous color, assumedly the color of the dye, with a black lid.
Application was easy as pie, and making a pie is pretty damn easy. It is thick, but not nearly as thick as the brights, and it applies a bit like conditioner, now that I think about it. Super simple stuff. I left my dye in for an hour, and then the second time longer than 4 hours, but its preference how long you leave it. If your hair is super blonde, you won’t need too long. Darker hair, longer would be more helpful.
I have managed to get at least 10 weeks out of this dye in my hair, which is roughly 10-15 shampoos like the box suggests, so I’m pretty stoked with that. I am pretty disappointed with the color it went in my hair, it wasn’t the color on the box, nor the tube or even the “color suggestion” on the side of the boxes. In freshly bleached hair it went a green color, and over top of super faded colors, it goes blue. I still like it, but it’s not what I expected. I’m unsure if I’d repurchase, but I still have a bottle left so I’ll use it with a smile on my face!
Tips: I don't think that the box is true, the model has brown, almost black hair and you can clearly see the color - not only is that color not what comes out, but it doesn't show up that clearly in dark hair!
