Review: My favorite color/dye - I can’t say enough good things about this hair dye. The color is amazing and vibrant and lasts me well over 2 months. Touch ups are easy. It smells heavenly, and my hair feels soft. Only downside I’ve noticed is those parts of my hair get really frizzy and I’m not sure if it’s from the dye. Either way second time buying. I tried brand mondos brand first and it was TERRIBLE. This brand is so much better.
Review: Pink, purple and blue on un-lightened brown hair! - I've used another brand of vivid dye on my brunette hair for many years, and I was pretty happy with it. But when I suddenly could no longer order it, I was forced to find a new brand, which stressed me out! I found this brand and after poring over reviews, I decided to risk it and pulled the pin. The shipping took weeks for two of the three colors, which was frustrating. Once they all arrived, I set to dyeing the next day. My hair is medium brown and does not get bleached, lightened, blow dried.. nothing. Just plain, brown, pin straight hair. I have always used color depositing dyes in bright colors over my dark hair, which I fully EXPECT to not give the same result as they would on light colored or bleached hair. Bleaching is simply not an option I choose to expose my hair to despite my love for colored hair! The first thing I noted when opening these dye tubes is that they smell fabulous. Not a chemical smell, not a salon smell, just yummy. I did my usual sectioning into three parts, blue on the bottom, then a layer of purple in the middle, and pink on top. I like having no distinct root line, so I use my finger tips and sort of do a fine, graduated fade into the color over a few inches away from the roots, so my roots are my natural color and the pink dye gradually fades in over the first few inches down. The color was easy to apply and I used about a half tube of each on my hip length hair. I left it on for an hour or two until I was ready to shower. The dye did not stain my white sink or my tile shower, and it was easy enough to clean off my skin and nails. Seeing all the dyed water going down the drain is nerve wracking, not knowing if any color will be left in my hair once I'm done. But I rinsed well, wrapped my wet hair in a towel and went to bed with another towel over my pillow. The next morning, I had only a tiny bit of colors on my hair wrap towel, and none on the towel covering my pillow. The color on my hair once or dried was fun and beautiful. I only wash it with shampoo once or twice a week, and do my best to baby it. It does continue to bleed color when I shampoo it, but it doesn't bleed color at all anywhere else, like on my clothes or pillow. The color has lasted for about a month so far and still looks really nice. The blue tends to fade into the purple, so the pink and purple are the most noticeable, but you can still see all three colors depending on how I style my hair. I'm pretty happy with this dye considering that it offers the colors I want, it's easy to find and order, the reasonably decent price, and the staying power of the dye. I think I'll be using this as my new go-to color from now on, although I'll definitely need to order it well before I need to restock since it took a full month for some of the tubes to be shipped/delivered. Photo attached shows my natural brown color at the roots, and video shows the three colors after two weeks and two washes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ the PERFECT pastel pink that doesn't wash away immediately
*by I***E on August 25, 2026*

i love this dye so much, it's the perfect shade and it's pretty neutral/almost cool toned which i love, and in my experience it doesn't fade fast at all! i would just recommend leaving it on for more like an hour+ if you want it to really stick extra long, but either way it's good. however, these reviews have me IRRITATED...you see how they specifically instruct you NOT to use the dye on any level other than a very light blonde? yeah, your hair is turning out badly because you're using it on hair darker and more yellow than that...the recommendations are THERE FOR A REASON!, you probably shouldn't expect your hair to magically become lighter and more toned when you put a pastel color on it just because that pastel is modeled on hair that is that light, you can't expect it to look good on the wrong base. it won't cancel out or lighten anything, it's just gonna layer on top! end of my little rant, but i feel like this is not talked about enough. bottom line, if you have very light hair (like level 11 or a little bit below) that isn't yellow, don't be scared to buy this, it'll work super well! it might be a little bit brighter than what you might want immediately after dying if you leave it on too long, but give it a few washes and you'll be very happy!
