Punky Platinum Blonde Toner Semi Permanent Hair Color - Vegan, Cruelty-Free Conditioning Hair Dye, Lasts Up to 35 Washes, 3.5 fl oz

I purchased 4 of these from this Amazon seller "BYPLE", I recommend them! This seller has the cheapest rates in town for this product, believe me I know since I use it often. I have tried many other brands and I stick with this one. Jerome Russell Punky Colour is super vibrant and long lasting! I have tried Special Effects before and it is long lasting and bright however, Jerome Russell does the same thing for half the cost! Plus I enjoy custom mixing my own pinks using a tad of blue or purple (for a cooler toned pink, I strongly dislike warm toned pink.) Flamingo Pink by Punky Color needs toning with a pat of blue or purple. The result is a bright shocking Magenta! Love it, if mixed right it blows Special Effects Atomic Pink out of the water. PLUS, this product smells like grape kool-aid soda :D AND did you know that you may do custom colors with these?! Say you cannot find the perfect purple or the perfect blue, what not.. well, I often create hybrid colors by mixing anywhere from 2-3 different Punky Colour dyes then store them for future use under the cabinet. Example being: Say I want a cool-toned pink? I'd mix 90% Flamingo Pink and add in a half spoon of Violet! Beautiful and gorgeous :) Or I mix Atlantic blue with Spring Green and come out with a beautiful sea-green! LOVE :) *Word to the wise, never mix greens with pink, purple, orange, or red! And never mix blues with orange or red! Anyhow, if you buy this product you will get your moneys worth. It is super vibrant, in fact, is so vibrant that you can dilute it for applying if you have more porous hair (as a result of several bleachings which are necessary to attain platinum hair.) Speaking of bleaching.. you MUST pre-lighten your hair several shades (if you are naturally dark) for this dye to take hold and fill your hair cuticle. That is how you get a very vibrant color-true shade from this dye. I highly recommend and cannot say enough good things about this bleach: Schwarzkopf Igora Vario Blond Plus Blue Dust-Free Bleach (Available here on Amazon) It has never broken my hair off, burnt it, or burnt my scalp. And as my hair is naturally dark brown, this bleach has always provided the most rapid lifting, in several levels, that I have ever achieved at home. That being said on to some more information which I hope you will find useful. If you are interested in diluting this product as I do then here is my diluting recipe and tips and tricks that work for me! Tools: 1.) Get a value package of vinyl gloves. Never mind buying them by the set at the beauty supply per hair coloring, way too expensive in the long run. A lady ALWAYS needs gloves on hand. You'll thank yourself for it whenever the hair coloring fancy strikes!) 2.) DOLLAR STORE: Buy a box of plastic spoons & forks, great for mixing and disposable. 3.) DOLLAR STORE: Buy a 2-4 count set of "tupperware" type bowls with lids - these you can use to mix your color then store under the bathroom cabinet for future use. My diluting Recipe: 80% Conditioner (Cheap one such as White Rain!) I use the Coconut scent as it makes your hair smell divine! 20% Jerome Russell Punky Colour (1 good teaspoon will do it.) Mix well to blend it completely, scrape the bottom of the bowl and sides to ensure that it is all blended evenly. Apply! *** You can control the amount of hair dye ratio to suit your needs, such a lower amount for Pastel Hair, or a higher amount for brighter hair. I never put it on full strength because it wastes product as far as I am concerned and PLUS I do not want to be stuck with the same hair color for months. Want to keep it bright and vibrant? Here is how: DO NOT use harsh shampoos at ANY TIME or shampoo often. Get yourself some "Dry Shampoo" to control the oily roots only, it will freshen them and leave your hair smelling great after absorbing the oils. Use a shampoo which is SULFATE-FREE only. The vegan section of the grocery store should have a reasonably priced one or you can opt for purchasing a more pricey salon product. Don't like it? Here is how to remove: I have very porous hair so it "grabs" color easily and sometimes it does not want to let go! When I want it out the first steps that I take are using 'Head & Shoulders shampoo'. This stuff will really fade it quick within a few washes. You can't just massage it into your head and expect it to work though. You have to massage it well through your lengths by rubbing the lathered hair between your hands from top to bottom, one section at a time. Then you will see lots of dye rinse down the drain. Once I have it faded I then take a plastic mixing bowl and mix up either an entire packet or a full scoop (depending on which bleach you have on hand, a pre-measured packet or a canister) of hair bleach with a 30 or 40 VOL Creme Developer FIRST, blend and allow to sit for several minutes to activate, and then I add in several squirts of any shampoo - which for those who don't know - this is called a "Soap Cap" I apply this to my entire head (wet or dry) and massage quickly then let it sit for about 2 minutes or slightly longer. Usually before I even have a chance to finish getting all my hair covered with this mixture I can see the color just disappearing instantly! SO the same may be true for you and if it is WORK FAST to apply it. There is no need to keep bleach, even diluted bleach, on your hair for more time than it needs to be, specially if it is already damaged. Mine is damaged however these soap caps never hurt it :) Follow with a nice conditioner! Not something cheap. I love Hayashi 911 Emergency Pak Re-constructor. It cost's about 33 bucks for 33 ounces here on Amazon. I Squeeze the excess water out of my hair with my hands and then apply this conditioner, clip my hair up and cover my head with a plastic cap (you can use saran wrap also! or even a plastic grocery bag) and leave it on for at least an hour. It is truly a moisture quench for parched hair! AND THE SMELL IS DIVINE! ***About using soap caps for removing alternative colors: Soap Caps work best on faded Pink, Yellow, Orange, Purple dyes. They are pretty much instantly wiped out. Colors I have found which don't need to be faded first to be successfully stripped out quickly are: Pink Yellow Colors which I have found are super stubborn to remove with either Head & Shoulders or Soap Caps are: BLUE Colors which I have found to need substantial fading to be removed easily: Purple Green I love blue and purple but they are tenacious, especially blue. At least for my hair. I hope this review might help out some newbies! Please remember that ALL hair is different and dyes and removal processes are highly subjective to each individual! The above tactics just happen to work great for my hair so I thought I'd share.

I’ve been using punky color for the past 3 years and it is by far my favorite brand! Started dying my hair fantasy colors after becoming disabled, (since I no longer had a dress code to follow for work) and soon my friends and family had me doing theirs, too! It’s comparable to lime crime’s unicorn hair or overtone (which I’ve also used) but WAY cheaper, which allows me to change or maintain colors even on a very tight budget. I’ve used violet, purple, plum, fire, flame, vermillion red, flamingo, turquoise, bright yellow, and spring green. The reds tend to stain a lot and fade fast (as any red is prone to do), but the purples, greens, turquoise, flamingo, and yellow all last SO long. They’re so highly pigmented that I mix them with white conditioner to dilute them for a more pastel look, and they still come out bright and beautiful and fade gracefully. My favorite conditioner to use has been Sally’s jojoba oil moisturizing treatment with biotin and silk (recommended by an employee there), but I’ve used plain old suave and still had great results. I will usually leave this on for several hours or overnight in a shower cap. Since there’s no harsh chemicals or ammonia it does not damage hair and ends up feeling like a conditioning mask when rinsed. I think it smells great! My husband doesn’t like the smell but says it’s way better than boxed dye. It can stain your scalp and tub (some colors are worse than others). I recommend using vasoline around your hairline and ears (and removing any dye that found its way to these areas immediately after the application process before putting on a shower cap) and a good bleach based cleaner will take shower/tub stains right off as long as you use them right after rinsing (I’ve even had success doing this with just Clorox wipes). I’ve also used punky’s 3-in-1 shampoo to maintain purple and really liked the results. Pictures are of my latest work, using spring green and bright yellow (diluted 1:1 with Sally’s jojoba moisturizing treatment) and its still SO bright! Also included pictures using flamingo pink and turquoise (heavily diluted) on both me and my sister. The pink and turquoise mixed together make a beautiful purple shade, too! All pictures are diluted and applied to bleached hair, but I have also used this full-strength on virgin hair (natural blonde, dark blonde, and light brown) with great results! Keep in mind that on unbleached hair, it will not show up as bright or last as long, though. Colors will fade the quickest from any part that is exposed to sunlight (or excessive touching like bangs/around face). Hot water and frequent washing will also accelerate the fading process, so I use dry shampoo between washes, usually only wash 1-2x/week, use cold water on my hair, and also use a sulfate free shampoo & conditioner that is designed for maintaining colored hair. Everywhere I go, someone asks me about my hair... I swear, punky should be paying me for how often I recommend them! 😜

I've been using this dye on my partner for YEARS because there really is nothing else like it, its the perfect long-lasting emerald green. I usually mix Punky Alpine Green it with Lime Crime Sea Witch as a base because its sooo pigmented. You could do the same with a good conditioner, a little goes such a long way. It fades beautifully and stays vibrant for over 5 months on bleached hair. My only complaint is that it does bleed like crazy right after dyeing both from sweat and from washes, but I usually combat this by using clarifying shampoo the first couple washes. I've tried the purple once before and loved it's longevity too, but it wasn't my shade so I only used that one once. If you're looking for a deep green with incredible, almost permanent longevity that is still removable with bleach this is the one. I only hope they expand their shade ranges so I can find a shade perfect for me too!

Originally got my hair bleached and dyed with blue highlights in the salon. Two months out it started to fade. I found Punky Colours and was happy with what I got — good amount of color, artificial berry scent (not a gross chemical smell), easy to use, and easy to clean up in the bathroom after application. I let it sit for 30 minutes and it turned out well. I haven’t seen any staining on clothing or my pillow, so I am very satisfied. Easy enough for a first time dyer like me. Yay for mermaid hair! Edit: okay! There was some hair dye on a pink pillowcase because my hair was still wet, but otherwise, no staining! Just be sure your hair is dry before you wear something light-colored or lay down on a light pillowcase.

If you wanna go crazy and luv ur hair color please try this brand easy to apply and note that it only work on highlighted hair and light color hairs, very quality it doesn’t damage your hair it’s simply a WOW

I find this brand of hair dye works really well! I thought this color might be a little lighter.. but its VERY dark. I'd recommend diluting it with conditioner if you want a lighter color!

Punky is my fave brand but I cant find it in store anymore. Haven't used cherry on top but I definitely will again. Only draw back is its super hard to rinse it till it runs clear, and it stains for a couple days. Love it anyway.

Como fan de los. Tintes fantasía quise probar esta marca pues el tono que quería no estaba en las marcas que suelo usar . Woww el tono súper bello súper fijado súper brillante y con solo un poco me dio pigmento . Hablando del pigmento , no hay forma de que se saque el exceso dejas el tono en todos lados : almohadas, ropa , las manos aún dias después , lo que hice fue probar un sellador de tinte y con eso se mejoró el andar tirando el pigmento por todos lados

Ottimo prodotto, buonissimo odore, bel colore e resistente a diversi lavaggi.
