Punky Colour 3-in-1 Color Depositing Hair Cleanser & Conditioner, Hair Treatment - Refreshing & Long-Lasting Hair Dye, 8.5 fl oz. (Bluemania)

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 cover 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!

This is my 2nd purchase of this color and I love it! Yes, it does dye your hands blue but if you just wash them with soap after you use it's gone completely by the time you do anything with your hands. I use it a couple of times per week and I have gray streaks in my hair so the blue only tints my gray streaks. Great alternative to using hair dye to lie that I'm not getting older. Everyone comments on how they love the blue in my bangs and again, it only tints the gray hairs, not the brown rest of my head so it looks great. I have had so many people say how good my blue looks in my hair. I recommended it to quite a few people too. So easy to use since it's just a shampoo. Totally recommended. If you don't like the color on your hands, just shampoo with gloves. Be warned it does look like I killed a smurf in my bathtub every time I shampoo though. Comes off with bleach shower spray though so worth it!!!

I just ran out of my current bottle but honestly? The product is great, it stains literally everything but it comes out of your skin super easily after using body wash! It does make your hair a bit dry so i like to do another wash with my color safe shampoo and conditioner but otherwise i have no complaints! Color depositing shampoos rarely dye much, but it keeps my pink vibrant and that's all i was looking for! The bubblegum scent isn't so bad after a while but even if i don't use any other hair product the scent rarely sticks.

I went to the pool and when I got out my blue hair dye was completely stripped, so I tried this to fix it and it worked great! It’s back to the exact color it was before, I left it in for 10 minutes. I would recommend using gloves, but it does wash off skin very easy if you choose not to. My only issue with this product is it would not wash out. I stayed in the shower for mad long and blue kept dripping from my hair. I don’t know if this is the product that caused it or the porosity of my hair because it was pretty damaged. Either way, would recommend! Didn’t stain any of my belongings yet even though it didn’t fully wash out. I got color tealistic! First photo is before, second is after when my hair was still semi wet.

I love this shampoo. I use it 4 or 5 times a month and it colors my hair in a variegated way - you can still see my brown and gray hair as well as the purple. It looks lovely and is so easy to use. My husband prefers it to dying my hair a solid purple and I quite agree. I like to "obvious subtlety" of it, lol. It's obvious but not "in your face."

Listen, the product itself is good, maybe even great. However it get three stars because my whole body and head is GREEN. They don't lie on the product when they state wear gloves because it "might" stain. They really should change the wording to "will stain within SECONDS of touching your skin" I was actually buying this to cover my red hair because, for work purposes - I need it brown. But I wanted a cool brown, therefore, the red had to go. I've used green hair dye before as a toner from other brands but decided to give this a shot because the idea of shampoo sounded so easy. It turned out worse than just using normal dye (for me) did it work? Oh absolutely. Some how - this magical bottle actually turned my red hair... GREEN. That has never happened. This stuff is STRONG. Like combined all strongest dyes in the factory STRONG. It also dyed my forehead and scalp and hands and fingernails... didn't even leave it on for more than 30 seconds within it touching those parts and oh girl. It STAINS.I'd say this is probably an amazing product if you are aiming for green hair. However - if you want to use it for any other purpose from that. NO. STOP. Do NOT pass go. Try a different product or go to a pro.
