Jerome Russell Colour - Poppy Red By Jerome Russell, 1 Count

I love wacky colours on my head and I have gone Burgundy to red to orange to candy pink and eventually violet. And I feel violet is here to stay. I have been using Paradyes on pre-bleached hair and so far had no complain but for the fact that it washes away very fast. Like 8 to 10 washes.Hence I came to amazon looking for something that lasts a little longer. And oh man the feedback on this blew my mind, local and global. Thus is decided to try this. However, there is one thing that scared me was the part where almost everyone said that Pinky, stains everything! I was quite worried that I might look like smurf by the time im done washing it off. So, I got my best ammunitions at hand to combat that. And Viola! I dont look like Smurf ! This is what I did....okay one another thing before that...the consistency on this is very thick and gel like and its super pigmented. But its a 100% non drip. And I used the color direct from bottle with no additives.Now getting into how I achieved a headful of violet without staining. Tools list : Surgical Gloves - 1 pair( available in drug stores, by the way they are gradient blue now ) Coconut Oil A Black Towel Before I started with the colouring process, I smeared coconut oil all over me .....face, ears, neck (front and back), shoulder and the full length of my arms. Once done wore the gloves and dipped my fingers into the jar of violet. Once done with the color on my head, I washed out the gloves and waited like a little more than an hour. When it came to showering, once again I took help from the coconut oil....smeared my whole body with a lot of it starting from face to the tip of my ttap. to the extent that it looked like I took a dip in a barrel of oil. Put on the gloves, again and went in for the wash. Instead of the shower, I used the tap. I hung my head in the cold water ( its important that the water is cold when we wash semi-permanent colours, hot water opens up hair cuticles thus bleeding out the color molecules ), and massaged away the color with my fingers till the water ran clear ( and I have no stains on the bathroom floor neither on anything with is white or of a lighter colour ) and kept the water running till all the color washed out of the bathroom tiles ( I turned on the hot water while at this ). While tge water worked on the floor I rinsed my hair with the black towel and used a color protect conditioner on my hair. While the conditioner sat, I used a warm.shower and a shower gel to wash off the oil from my body ( coconut oil is very hyd rating and even after a warm shower, my skin was soft and supple with no dryness at all ). Once, done with that I turned on the cold shower and washed the conditioner out. It was a bit tedious process and required a bit of extra cautios prep, but its worth the trouble. Im not blue, my bathroom is not blue and I dont look like smurf ! The color turn out is amazing, I had to wait out the night for my hair to dry up just so that I could take a picture in natural light. While under the light ( white light / tube ) the color outputs a blue shine, in natural light ( sun )it throws up a vibrant purple shade ( little darker than the catalogue color violet ) but thats what I wanted and im so loving the result. Hair feels amazingly soft and loved. I just cant keep my hands off them 😂😂😂 Few things to note: Im not worried about the bleeding post color, all semi permanent colors bleed Pre-lightening is the key to get the correct color output and vibrancy any semi permanent color has to offer Also hair health is very important, after bleach and color, hair care routine should be packed with a good purple / blue shampoo to tone the underlying brassy tones ( yellow/orange/reddish untertones ) Color protect shampoo and conditioner is a must. I have added some violet / purple dye to the conditioner since I went purple head a month or two back. This helps restore the vibrancy of the color while you condition the hair. Optional is to get a color deposit shampoo, which I intend to get Do not wash your hair for 72 hours from time you have colored your hair, that's the amount of time it takes for the color to settledown in the hair cuticles Always wash your hair with cold water ( hot water rinses out more color as it opens the hair cuticles ) Keep heat styling to minimum ( same reason as hot water ). Instead try to use non heat methods to style like a good after wash gel...I use Fix My Curls - Curl Quenching Jelly ( I have straight hair however this jelly works better than most other hair gel ). Because this is created to hold curls ( which is very hard to set other wise), the formula once applied to rinsed hair, upon styling, works great in holding straight hair for atleast a couple of days before you wash it again Invest in a good dry shampoo, it cleanses and adds volume to the hair without affecting the color as opposed to a wet wash Incase you have to heat style, invest in a good heat protect serum or spray Hope this helps !

I got the Vermilion Red colour from this collection. The amount of colour is enough for an entire head of shoulder length hair but anything longer or thicker hair will need more product. Maybe it can be diluted with a developer since the colour is a jelly-like paste. Also, it smells like bubble gum, which is so cute. I kept it on for 2 hours and the result was very bright red. For people with brassy yellow level 8 bleached hair like mine, this will look more warm red than pinkish red like in the picture. My advice: try buying a colour cooler than your desired shade. The warmth of your yellow/orange hair will even out the cool hue. I have washed it 5 times now and although the colour has remained warm and vibrant, it bleeds everywhere. Stains on my pillow case, bathroom, back skin, etc. Beware of this. Other than that, no hair problems.

FINALLY! found the perfect hot pink. it has a blue undertone which is really flattering and cancels out any brassiness from bleached hair. it even smells good; like grape jelly! it does stain, so wear gloves and apply petroleum jelly around your ears, on your forehead and neck. i didn’t and the colour took a couple of days to wash off of my hands. apart from that, the colour is very pigmented so dilute with conditioner or don’t, according to your needs. i mixed with a bit of conditioner (i recommend doing this) for better mixing and application. overall, really happy with this brand. it’s affordable and great.

Well maybe these colours are good . But on dark black hair . It doesn't work unless you have bleached hair

I've used manic panic before (purple) but this is the only dye that has actually lasted the number of washes it says on the box. It might fade a little but the pigment REALLY stays on strong. I had dyed on level 7-8 bleached hair and it looked turned out beautiful and vibrant. I had to reapply it every 1-2 months for a rich look, with once a week wash. I keep coming back to this look.

Honestly loved the dye, it smells amazing and was easy to apply. However because I hadn't bleached my hair (they were a light brown due to being red before) I simply applied the dye directly to the brown hair and it turned a beautiful shade of green. Overall the product was fantastic, looking forward to trying more colors. Edit: This color stayed from July 2020 to February 2021 until I decided to color my hair purple (using the punky plum hair dye) and it did not disappoint, loved it so much. P.s it's better to bleach your hair before applying the color as it will not show up on dark brown/black hair. I had prebleached mine before using the plum hair dye.

The product is amazing ig, Didnt tried it yet but it didnt had a nice smell...smelled like chemical tbh..but the colour is amazing i tried applying on my skin it washed out in one wash happy for that and i hope it eill not be like that on hair..i havent even tried but still ig u should buy this product

This stains very badly just like all the other reviews say so be warned. Make sure you don't get it on any surfaces or in your bath or you'll be scrubbing tiles for days. Same goes for when you're rinsing hair because it will run colour. Plenty of concentrated color in a jar. Smells of grapes and looks like plum. The plum shade has magneta undertones so it should fade to a rose gold-ish or pink color depending on the level of bleached or blonde hair. Tone it down by mixing the dye with a conditioner to get a lighter colour. And no Matt what you do, don't touch this without gloves!
