My first hair dye

When I lived in the UK, getting into my rebel teenage years I brought La Riche Pillarbox red with my aunt who put it into my hair. I went from being a natural strawberry blonde to intense red instantly (much to my mother's horror but that was the whole idea) I recall it being like paint and being applied by a brush similar to a paint brush. It stained everything!! so you have to take caution and it lasted a pretty long time too. Have been considering searching out pillarbox red again and going back to my punk period.

Tips: This product stains quite badly so really protect yourself and your surrounds. The second time I applied I put Vaseline around my hair line which worked wonders

Vibrant pink hue

I used Pink Flamingo purchased at Cosmic for my red-to-pink ombre, with the ends bleached to a light orange prior to adding the pink. The consistency of the dye was not as sticky or tacky and I imagined and went on quite smoothly. I dyed my hair from ear lobes to just below boob-length on my medium-thick hair and, with generous use, still only used about 2/3 of the tub. When washing it out, it didn't stain the shower though a bit did come off on the towel when I dried my hair. Other than that, I didn't have any other staining on clothing or pillow cases following application. (just make sure the water runs clear when washing it out.) The color came out very vibrant and pretty even (not bad for my first time! ;) ) Knowing it is a semi-permanent, I was happily surprised to see that it lasted nearly 4 weeks, though I do wash my hair only a couple times a week. However, the color wasn't nearly as vibrant as it was right after application. It didn't seem to make my hair feel any different. In all, good value for money and would happily use this line again.

Tips: Be generous with the application to ensure even coverage. If it gets on any skin or surfaces during application, remove with baby wipes immediately. May need 2 or 3 tubs if doing long hair. Cover your skin around the hairline, including ears and neck, with Vaseline to prevent staining. Gloves and an old towel are a must!!

Wow this is bright!

I cant believe how bright this semi is! I put it over a med brown to blonde ombre and it is so vivid it caught me by surprise! This was easy to apply and i have medium length hair and struggled to use the whole jar. It does stain everything it touches as you would expect. Lasting power appears to be very good as well and there has been no rub off on my bedding or clothes. I used Tulip.

The Best!

Ive had my fair share of this type of hair dyes,and I can say this ia the best one, ever! They have a good colour range and dont harm your hair also the price is not too bad. You can mix em out with conditioner to get more lighter colours.

Watch out it bleeds

But other than getting the colour all over your pillows, sheets, pets and loved ones I'm pretty satisfied. I've used a few colours and they've all turned out super vibrant on bleached hair (I've got black/brown hair so it's pretty much a must to bleach if you want something remotely true to colour - I have found however that some of the darker/stronger colours can cast a nice coloured reflect on darker hair. Lighter shades like lilac and pastel pink won't do anything though)

My go to colour for a year was Plum. At first I would dilute it with conditioner to get a nice lavender shade on my hair (I opted to dilute as my hair was super long and super thick and I couldn't afford a bajillion million trillion of these little pots) I've found to get a nice even application that fades evenly you'll need to first start off with hair that is bleached evenly (any patchiness will show upon fading), then apply with the colour with a hair dye brush - really brush it on, just plopping it in and massaging into the hair doesn't really do it, if I've diluted with conditioner (which is all the times except once) I then take cling wrap and wrap up my purply locks for a few hours (you heard me right - it also doubles as a nice deep condition for your no doubt stressed as bleached locks) after a thorough rinsing I come out with purty evenly dyed hair with colour that usually lasts around 3 months with a nice gradual even fade over that time.

The color transfer is a mild annoyance but all in all I love these little pots of intense colour. They may take a little extra effort to get the results I desire but it really pays off.

Tips: If you find the colour isn't really adhering to your hair try a PH balanced shampoo before hand.

Leave the colour in as long as you can bear it - it makes a difference in the lasting power.

If you want your colour to go further or be less intense mix with your favourite conditioner but leave it in for longer.

Brush the colour on instead of massaging it in.

Also a wee tip I forgot to add - if you want to up the vibrancy of your colour between applications apply a little bit of the colour to your normal conditioner - mix it up and leave in your hair for the duration of your shower.

Best temporary product

I have this in my hair currently, in the colour turquoise. Love it so much, the colour turns out so radiant and flawless. This product was so easy to use and i didn't have to use much either. I've had it in for about 2 weeks and still looks freshly dyed

Tips: Would recommend staying away from chlorine as takes colour out of the hair, also if want to last long apply a little bit of hair dye into your conditioner, this will keep the colour in for longer.

La Riche Colour

I have just switched to this dye to test it out in comparison with the Manic Panic I was using previously. I chose to purchase two shades of blue so that I could get a more blended look for the ends of my hair and went with Lagoon and Atlantic Blue. The dye was very easy to apply but the instructions were not clear at all. The colour does seem to last pretty well and the blues are a lovely shade. My only complaint is that when i first put the two blues in, they both turned out the same colour although they are different both in the pots and the shade chart. I have fixed this issue though by waiting a couple of weeks for the initial application to fade and then reapplying the atlantic blue to the bottom layer of my hair. I am very much liking this dye though and would still recommend it.

Tips: Leave the dye in for at least an hour to achieve a vibrant colour.

LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!

I would totally recommend these paint pots to anyone and everyone!! I dip dyed my hair Flamingo Pink, Violet and Turquoise. The colour was intense and lasted quite a long time considering they're temporary. Would definitely recommend and would definitely use again!

Tips: Hair needs to be blonde or bleached blonde to see any results.

Long lasting!

I tried this in Blue to see if it was better than paintbox which usually only lasted a few weeks in my hair and I would never go back!!! La Riche directions was better value and lasts a lot longer, I brought mine of TM and delivered to my home for under $20. The colour is a nicer shade than the fudge . Definitely has to be used on bleached hair tho.

Tips: I sometimes mix with a bit of conditioner to stretch it out if I'm running low and need coverage and also I have added a bit of Black to deepen the colour.
