Ruby Rouge Red Hair Dye Duo 200ml | Vibrant Semi Permanent, Highly Pigmented Conditioning & Oil Nourishing Vegan Formula | No Bleach or Ammonia

I'm surprised to see so many mixed and negative reviews of this product, as my experience has been very positive so far, but I may return for further updates after longer-term use. If it's any help, I didn't exactly follow the instructions and applied this pastel lavender to clean, combed dry hair instead. I have a light brown natural base with thick blonde highlights, and my desired effect is a pastel lavender on the highlights only. This shade is perfect for that: it hasn't changed the dark/brown base but it has been absorbed by the blonde highlights. My natural greys also haven't absorbed this colour, fyi. If you're looking for grey coverage, this dye might not work for you. Personally I like my greys and my natural hair colour, so this is perfect for me. I got exactly the desired effect and I'm happy. This is a lavender that tends towards a blueish purple, rather than a pinkish purple. If you want a more saturated reddish/pinkish purple, consider another brand or experiment by mixing this with a bit of red. I plan to try this myself, as I like a warmer purple. A few things to consider: if your hair is struggling to absorb the dye, it is likely not so much the product's "fault" but it could be that your hair is healthy and not porous enough. This is why, for example, my natural greys don't absorb the dye well but the bleach-treated highlights (damaged by the bleach and therefore made more porous) do. Lavender, lilac, and any purple is a combination of blue and red. Depending on your natural base and pigmentation, your hair may be more prone to keeping the blue and shedding the red, which means that as the colour fades, you might be left with a blue tint. Some people eventually get a green tint as it fades. This is because your base must be yellowing with sun exposure, so the blue tint mixes with the yellow in your hair to produce green. This has been my experience with using lavender dyes for years, and the blue tends to be the most stubborn and lasting pigments of all, in any dye I've tried. Something to keep in mind. In my experience, colour technicians will usually try to remedy this by adding a counter-colour to the undesired one. So, to neutralise yellow, you'd use purple shampoo recommended for platinum blondes. If you ever use a dye with blue pigment in it, though, keep in mind you might be married to it until your hair grows out--I don't think blue leaves easily, if at all. My suggestion, for anyone unsure about how their hair will react, is to test the product on a hidden strand of hair and see how it goes for you. Don't go all out, applying it to your whole head if this is the first time you're trying this product. A few reviewers have said this product stains their pillowcases and skin even after being washed. This has not been my experience. Maybe because I applied my product to dry instead of damp hair, and it got absorbed better? Anyway, good luck to all! UPDATE: Colour turned out more saturated in my second attempt, when applied to towel-dried hair, as per the instructions. So don't listen to me, follow the instructions 😅 The shampoo & conditioner you use subsequently make a huge difference to colour longevity. Use colour-kind products, otherwise it may fade faster than it promises. My first attempt lasted 2 washes, but with shampoo & conditioner that are extra unkind to colour, so that was my own silliness. Still very pleased with the colour, though, and the dye seems to have no damage on my hair at all. Will buy again!

I buy ruby rouge and cyclamen to make a mix. ❤️ Always consistent quality and and vibrant colour. Fades into a lovely light pink so I dont feel I needs to re-dye too frequently. Make sure you apply vaseline to your skin and wear gloves if you dont want to look like a killer! 🤣 Your hair will need to be almost platinum for vibrancy!...but you can see in the photos the slight tint left on the parts of my hair that are dyed dark brown.

Frequently bought, purely because they're so good. Yes the colour will run, it's semi-permanent so don't expect it to stay perfectly in place but the colour is always beautiful and when used over pale bleached hair, rests at an almost fuchsia pink after a few washes.

Gives a nice colour but I think the name of Rebal UV is misleading as it doesn't fluores under UV light like the equivalent UV pink by manic panic. I'm guessing they just mean Neon UV as in it's bright. So don't buy this if you want it to glow in UV, get the manic panic one.

I'm not going to lie I'm absolutely fuming and disappointed with this product. I am a natural blonde and I dye my hair black. I have prom tommorow and simply wanted to touch up my roots. not only does it say no where on this product that it is a blue-black dye but I now have ruined hair for prom and bright blue roots. I'm so disappointed.

Absolutely love this colour, it does bleed when its wet as most do, but the crazy color anti bleed really does help so i would recommend getting that as well, love that this doesn’t damage my hair and is so vibrant

Very beautiful colour, but I find it fades fast. I bought the dye in the shade cyclamen, and I was very impressed with the colour. I was looking for something between a magenta pink and red, like a raspberry pink. The dye absolutely nailed the colour, it was easy to use and very vibrant. I did bleach my hair prior and was using the dye on dark blonde hair. The dye does stain surfaces, skin and clothes and of the dyes I’ve tried it does stain quite heavily. Most of them i’ve been able to get out but others I haven’t been able to. It also does bleed quite a lot when you wash it, and I’ve found it continues to stain my shower until I’ve washed my hair about 3 times and then it’s not as concentrated to stain. It lasts a few washes and then the pink fades to a more dull toned red, it definitely loses its pink tones first. Keeping it topped up is easy because it’s just a semi permanent dye so i just add it to a hair mask that i do weekly to refresh the colour. It is very pretty though, just have to be careful with using it around white surfaces.

easy to use, does not drip. Wear gloves when colouring hair.

Colour just as pictured, turns out a bright cool tone pink which I love and fades nicely too. ALTHOUGH if you're looking for a lasting colour this isn't for you, personally not an issue for me

It’s very good and gives best results

This hair dye is labelled at a “UV” neon pink,which is quite frankly far from it.This hair dye is a light pink and doesn’t match the same colour on the bottle.it also does not hold even after leaving it on longer than said in hopes for it to be vibrant.this was applied on freshly bleached hair which is recommended and still turned out poorly.do not recommend this hair dye.save your money girls!!
