## Description

desertcart.com : Punky Midnight Blue Semi Permanent Hair Color - Vegan & Cruelty-Free Conditioning Hair Dye, Lasts Up to 35 Washes, 3.5 fl oz : Chemical Hair Dyes : Beauty & Personal Care

Review: Best LOW COST Alternative Dye on the Market! - I purchased 4 of these from this desertcart 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 desertcart) 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 desertcart. 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.
Review: My favorite semi permanent fantasy hair color! - 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! 😜

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What conditioner do i need to mix with this hair dye ?**
A: I mix with any white paraben free sulfate free conditioner. I mix 1:1 and there is no change in the vibrancy & boldness of the color or how long the color lasts. I was worried it would lighten the color but it doesn't on a 1:1 mix. I also don't bleach the medium brown hair my daughter's have prior to dying it and the colors are amazing. We've used flamingo pink, red rose, plum, purple, blue, aqua & green. All have turned out far better than I imagined and lasted way longer than I imagined they would.

**Q: How long does it last, days wise?**
A: It depends on the color and how often you wash your hair.
In my own experience the dark blues stay the longest theyll fade to a pastel blue around 20ish washes and stay that way, the purples do the same around 15ish washes and bright pink/turquoise fade between 15-20 washes but with those two ive noticed sometimes they hang on forever and sometimes they fade fast depending on the color you put them on top of, if your hairs been freshly bleached and your putting it on a really light blonde they stay much longer (the same goes for all the colors) but unlike the other colors if your just doing a touch up and adding it over your old color it fades much faster.
All of the lighter colors lagoon blue and the light pink fade fast, maybe 10-15 washes and they fade to a sortof ashy pastel version of the color.
I will say though ive been using punky color for about a decade and its my favorite dye because unlike most dyes (manicpanic for example) it doesnt fade into gross coppers or greens, it just slowely gets lighter with every wash. Which is nice because it starts really vibrant and pretty but eventually will fade to an equally pretty soft pastel so its like getting a dozen colors for the price of one lol and of all the other dyes ive tried this one lasts longest, smells nicest, and doesnt damage my hair (the bleach does though unfortunately haha)

**Q: Is this dye vegan?**
A: It says it is vegan in both the product listing and in the product description.

**Q: I was just wondering if this would do any good on hair that has been bleached twice so it has a copperish color in it still im going for the platinum**
A: It will certainly condition it a bit, give it a bit of a gloss... but it's not going to be able to lighten a copper color into platinum. It's not going to strip any color out at all, what it does is give you a very sheer coat of grayish-purple, just right for dulling down a bright bleached blond into a silvery platinum, but I think you're going to have to strip the remaining color out with bleach. Make sure you bleach it long enough to lighten it past that baby chicken yellow stage if you really want platinum. If you've already bleached twice and are still seeing copper you may want to get some help from a stylist to achieve platinum without burning your hair into breakage. If you are determined to do it again on your own, I will tell you that I have very dark hair myself and have had tremendous success with a boxed bleach called "Born Blonde", you really just need to leave it on past that baby chicken yellow stage, and then use the toner.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite semi permanent fantasy hair color!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ TL;DR My hair is purple, but i love it
*by M***. on April 11, 2019*

Please note: this is the reviewer's 15 year old daughter and not, in fact, my 41 year old mother This was my first time using a semi permanent hair dye, so I was a bit nervous that it wouldn't take/would be a complete disaster. Fortunately, this was not the case! Some backstory: My natural hair color is dark brown, but I had dyed it a reddish color a few months back. That faded to a boring brown, just a few shades lighter than my roots. It did't look good, but it wasn't bad enough to declare a national state of emergency or anything. As you can imagine, it didn't take me long to get sick of having boring hair. I got to researching, and it was between this dye and Manic Panic. No shade, but its pretty clear that i made the right choice. When the dye arrived, i felt like a kid at Christmas! Right out the gate, i was in love with the smell. It literally smells like a cross between grape and strawberry candy. Amazing!! I did my test strip while watching a movie, and ended up leaving the dye in for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. It looked, well, Pink! I was psyched about how bright it was, and the fact that it even somewhat took over my roots. I set out to dye my hair in the morning and called it a night. Being a woman of my word, i hopped out of bed the next mourning, set out a few paper bags, and got to work. My half asleep self then got the bright idea to leave it in for 4 hours, because there isn't much difference between 4 and 2 1/2 hours, right? Wrong. Between the of making breakfast and the drinking of tea, i ended up leaving the dye in for about 5 hours. I'm not exactly saying this was a mistake, but I sure didn't get what i was expecting. After rinsing my hair and running outside to take a selfie, i discovered that it was... purple. Very purple. Not a violet purple, but more of a pinkish purple. Good thing i'm not picky!! It still looked amazing, so i wasn't too concerned about the color switch up. The only real con for this product is the fact that it stains EVERYTHING. I'm talking bathtubs, sinks, clothes, the whole nine yards. One Pro Tip i discovered was to mix a scoop of Oxi Clean in a bucket of hot water and pour it on the stains. Works wonders in just a few minutes! If you're on the fence about this product because of the possible damage often associated with color treatments, let me put your mind at ease; my hair is like a cannery in a cole mine for anything even slightly damaging. Once, when I gave it a dirty look, it refused to obey for a week and a half. This dye did not harm a hair on my head, just made it cool. The first picture was taken a few minutes after rinsing the dye out. The second picture was taken about three weeks after. As you can see, it didn't take very well over my roots, but I'm fine with that, as it means that i won't have to touch up my roots often.
