Advantages: Bright striking colour

Disadvantages: difficult to get off skin, not permanent

Well I've tried nearly every permanenet hair colour going trying to find one that lasts more than three weeks. And sadly this hair dye is no different with regards its lasting power. The dye has many advantages over other ranges, the colours available are more varied and vibrant than other ranges (i used the cosmic blue one) with colours such as blue, purple and pink/red, so if you're looking for bright in your face kind-of permanent colour, then this IS the range for you. Like i said, i use the blue/black one, and unlike most dyes it was as bright (if not brighter) than it is on the box. I have used dyes in the past (most notably 'LIVE' colour) that barely make a difference in spite of being permanent and allegedly being suitable for my hair colour (dark brown). However, the colour sadly begins to fade dramatically from the first wash, and a month and a bit after having dyed mine, i am back to my dark brown colour.
The pack comes with a nice conditioner that does leave your hair very soft and shiny, and if you ration it, can last for quite a while. Oh, and a warning, do take their warning about getting it on your skin, put vaseline or something around your hair line and neck before dying because i spent hours scrubing my skin raw tring to get rid of the blue blotches everywhere, having to literally remove a layer of skin to get rid of the colour!, and the bits that wouldnt come off did stay for a couple of days, so do be warned!
Anyway, overall i would recommend the dye if you want a dramatic colour for a special occasion if you are using the darker colours over already dark hair. I would not recommend using the lighter colours unless you already have pretty light hair, my sister ended up ginger (and i MEAN ginger) using a feria shade that was supposed to be blonde!
