Punky Colour 3-in-1 Color Depositing Conditioner & Hair Cleanser - Purpledacious, Semi Permanent Hair Color Conditioner, Sulfate-Free Hair-Dye, 8.5 fl oz.

UPDATE: I’ve now tried the green, blue-green, blue, purple, red, blonde, lavender and pink. I will tell more about those at the bottom of this review.I don't care what other hair dying products you have in those tabs behind this one, they're not as good as this one. I don't care if they're cheaper or promise to last longer. THIS one is the one you've been looking for.I have used permanent hair dye, semi-permanent hair dye, and color depositing shampoo. This one, the Punky Color 3-in-1 beats them all.Yes, I know I sound like a commercial but I'm serious. Let me 'splain...I've been alive a very long time. I always said I didn't care what color my hair turned as long as it didn't turn loose. But after waking up for the millionth time and seeing Benjamin Franklin staring back at me from the mirror I decided I'd had enough of "going gray".Now, I had no interest in dying my hair back to its original color. I'd lived with that for decades and, really, what's the point? I decided I needed a bold color, something shocking. I couldn't go red because my sister is a natural redhead and the last thing you want is your sibling pestering you with: "why are you copying me? why are you copying me? why are you copying me?" over and over...no matter HOW old you get.So, I decided on blue.I started with a regular blue hair dye. It took half an hour and stank like rotten meat. The smell lingered inside my sinuses for three days afterward. The color was okay but going through all that and watching it fade in less than a month was very disappointing.So I dyed it again. This time with an ammonia-free dye. This one looked okay and smelled much better, but it faded even faster.This was becoming exhausting.So I bought a color-depositing shampoo...sadly, not the Punky one. The shampoo was a complete mess. It took almost as long as the actual hair dye and stained everything it touched blue except the hair! It was gone in less than a week.In my desperation, I turned to the Punky Color 3-in-1 and I WISH I had done it sooner.Firstly, this is important...Punky will stain everything - including your skin and your clothes so make sure you wear gloves when you apply it and be diligent about wiping it off your skin as you do it.This is best NOT done while you're in the bath, so apply the shampoo before you get in and make sure you get it on all the hair as well as you can. Then let it sit. You can do it in about 5 minutes if you're very blonde, but if you're gray or dark haired then you want to leave it in longer. It says on the bottle that 10 minutes will leave a better color. And the best part is that it smells like bubblegum!Once you've left it in the correct amount of time, THEN get into the shower and rinse your hair or however you want to work that out for yourself. Rinse thoroughly until all the leftover color comes out. There is a LOT of excess color.But once it is done it has the brightest and shiniest color of any of the methods I've tried. And this is the part that Punky really gets wrong...they position this as something for a younger crowd but they should really market it for older people who want to get rid of their gray! The gray turns almost metallic with the shine and shimmer it gets from this product! It is beautiful!I wanted to add this too. The instructions won't tell you this but I think someone should. When you dye your hair for the first time and you get out of the shower you'll have one of two reactions. You'll either think: "gee, that doesn't look too bad I wish I'd done this sooner..." or "Oh, no! What have I done!". If its the former then welcome to Punky Color! If its the latter, don't panic. After the first day, when you do the dye and its fresh, it will look very intense. Give yourself 24 hours and then wash again. After that, it should even out and calm down and you'll see that it actually is wonderful having these fun colors. You had the courage to try it and that is the part that matters! It is okay to be unique. Celebrate yourself!GREEN: Not the poison apple green you want, more a bluish version of green, but still really vibrant.BLUE-GREEN: My favourite of all the colors! This is the Mermaid-esque color you want. I think they should rename it from “Tealistic” to “Viridienchanted”! If you know, you know.BLUE: Very dark but fades fast. Make sure you leave it in long enough or it will highlight your grays to almost white instead of actually dying them.PURPLE: Very dark, fades fast, but the fading is particularly beautiful, my hair looked like an autumn sunset.RED: I call it “red” because that’s how they’re selling it, and it goes in like cinnamon! But… After you rinse it settles into an almost burgundy color. This is NOT the candy apple, fire engine, stop sign, beef bouillon cube, Christmas morning wrapping paper red that you’re hoping for. Try their new line of Cotton Candy Foam colors for that. I think it’s called “Sugar Cloud”. Sounds delicious!BLONDE: Okay, this is only going to be for people with REALLY light hair. If your hair is darker it won't show up at all. If you're trying to highlight your grays so they're gold instead of silver...people won't be able to tell the difference. You can convince yourself that you see gold in them thar frills but everyone else is going to think its gray. I was really hoping for something more intensely blonde.LAVENDER: Like the blonde, if you don't have VERY light hair this isn't going to do anything but leave the merest hint of color in your hair. When I rinsed, the color was so pale you couldn't even see it in the water! There was a stronger concentration of color at the edges of my hair but most of it was so faint you wouldn't notice it. My suggestion is, if you want lavender then use the purple and just don't leave it in as long.PINK: I had such high hopes for this one but it really doesn't hit "pink" so much as it hits maroon. It is only a shade pinker and redder than the purple. If you're as blonde as Marilyn Monroe you might get this to be pink, but if you're anything darker than that, you're going to be marooned.

I never leave Amazon reviews but I HAD to leave one for this brand. It’s absolutely amazing, and so so SO vibrant and nice.I had my hair dyed red and decided to try pink just to see what would happen, and it’s incredible. I leave it on for about 10-15 mins in the shower and it looks freshly dyed when I hop out. Plus it leaves my hair super soft and shiny afterwards.It definitely does stain though so use gloves when you’re using it. But this stuff is awesome for the price, I prefer it over the watercolor brand which is twice as much.

Been using this since 2021 and I can say with certainty it's the best hair color product I've ever tried. I use the purple and it deposits an INSANE amount of color (so be extra mindful of staining) and it smells amazing. My hair is always extra soft, shiny, and voluminous after using this.I'll either use it as directed for consistent color deposit, or put it directly on clean, dry hair (like a regular dye) for maximum payoff.Staining on my skin comes off easily with soap or non-color safe shampoo, and on tile/shower floor bleach always works for me- just don't let it sit.If you want your hair to be vibrant and healthy as long as possible, and don't mind potential staining/cleanup- GET THIS!!

this is the perfect 3 in 1 for colored hair, especially works very well in keeping your color in for a long time!!! leaves your hair feeling soft but the blue color is very neon, almost like a purple blue. also is VERY messy, stains everything it touches, my pillows, shower curtain, and my ears/back, even clothes!!!1 everytime i try to be careful in applying it in the shower, ill always see blue somewhere. the smell is very strong too, wouldn't recommend if you hate the smell of strong bubblegum. overall, it will really stain your hair and everything it comes into contact. i even tried bleaching again after using the pink one for awhile on my hair and i saw tons of strands still pink. would give 5 but it's annoying in straining lol. still gonna use bc it's the only good hair dye soap

this is definitely the product you want!! my hair was starting to fade so i was on the hunt for a good color depositing conditioner and this one was in my budget so i said why not.. i applied it in the shower and let it sit for 10 minutes like instructed and my hair looks like it did on day one again!! i will say this does STAINN anything that it touches!!! my hands were PINK and my bathtub and curtains now have pink stains anywhere it got so BE CAREFUL!! it also has a smell of bubblegum which i dont mind but i think it could be a very strong smell for some people, it definitely did leave my hair feeling smooth and smelling good though!!

It claims to be a color-deposting product that makes hair clean & soft - which is exactly what it is.My hair was true grass green before I began using this. Now, my hair is more on the teal/blue side of the spectrum. I don't hate it, but definitely not what I was expecting.The shampoo smells like bubblegum, but will leaving your hands & shower stained blue. Proceed with caution.
