Special Effects USA Hair Dye

I like to try different things. Who doesn't? (My Gran, that's who. She hates different with a passion. you can imagine how proud I make her) From about the age of twelve I began experimenting with crazy hair. It helped that my mother is a hairdresser and I didn't have to pay for any of it. After going through all the styles and colours I could get my hands on, I was getting bored of colours fading out after a few washes. I wanted me something that lasted! Fortunately I also have friends that like different things. My friend, rather than going along the short haired lesbian path, decided to go along the crazy hair coloured lesbian path. ...  Read the complete review

I've been using Special Effects dye for the last five years - it's become so much of my personality that even my boss in my office job encouraged me to re dye my hair after taking a break and going back to natural! I order it online for about £8 a bottle, and the bottle lasts me quite a few applications. I've found Special Effects to be the best dye I've used. I use atomic pink and it has great colour and staying power, on bleached hair or even without bleaching. I only dye the bottom half of my hair (so I'm not constantly touching up roots) but it gets plenty of comments and everyone loves it. As an example of how well it lasts, I dyed it last for my work's ...  Read the complete review

After years of dyeing my hair every colour in the rainbow, I've gone through nearly every brand and colour on the market. Manic Panic, Stargazer, Directions, Feria, Smart Colour, everything you can think of. So when I tell you Special Effects is the best I've ever come across, you can see that I don't mean that as any light statement. The dye comes in a medium sized squeezy bottle which costs roughly £10. Although this is a tad pricey in hair dye terms, it is worth every penny over £5 shop bought boxes, where you would need a few boxes to get the strength of colour and the coverage. What I usually do is squeeze the bottle out in small portions in a ...  Read the complete review

After 5 years of dying my hair from mundane colors like auburn, black, and blonde streaks to eventually wild colors, I finally took the plunge and ordered a bottle of the mother of all semipermanent dyes, Special Effects. Now, it isn't available around me anywhere, so I had to take to the internet to order a bottle. Shopping around I found it for $9.95 and free shipping, but it seems the norm for the price is anywhere from $12-$15. This isn't a terribly expensive dye, but I've never heard anything but good remarks about it. Since I dyed my hair cherry red not too long ago, I was ready for a touch-up. Special Effects dyes come in a rainbow of different colors. ...  Read the complete review

i dye my hair A LOT. i have been every colour under the sun and i have to admit that Special Effects hair dye is the best colour dye I have used. I first used their Nuclear red dye on pre-bleached hair and my god it was BRIGHT. you could see me coming more than half way down the street. my hair looked shiney and healthy despite having all this product on it. It took me roughly 2 bottles to cover the whole top part of my hair ( i had brown underneath so didn't need my whole head red) i should also mention at this point my hair was almost to my backside! In other words, one bottle goes a long way. use a brush if you can to apply the colour as you find ...  Read the complete review
