  • Best LOW COST Alternative Dye on the Market!
Color: Flamingo Pink Size: 3.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I purchased 4 of these from this Amazon seller "BYPLE", I recommend them! This seller has the cheapest rates in town for this product, believe me I know since I use it often. I have tried many other brands and I stick with this one. Jerome Russell Punky Colour is super vibrant and long lasting! I have tried Special Effects before and it is long lasting and bright however, Jerome Russell does the same thing for half the cost! Plus I enjoy custom mixing my own pinks using a tad of blue or purple (for a cooler toned pink, I strongly dislike warm toned pink.) Flamingo Pink by Punky Color needs toning with a pat of blue or purple. The result is a bright shocking Magenta! Love it, if mixed right it blows Special Effects Atomic Pink out of the water. PLUS, this product smells like grape kool-aid soda :D AND did you know that you may do custom colors with these?! Say you cannot find the perfect purple or the perfect blue, what not.. well, I often create hybrid colors by mixing anywhere from 2-3 different Punky Colour dyes then store them for future use under the cabinet. Example being: Say I want a cool-toned pink? I'd mix 90% Flamingo Pink and add in a half spoon of Violet! Beautiful and gorgeous :) Or I mix Atlantic blue with Spring Green and come out with a beautiful sea-green! LOVE :) *Word to the wise, never mix greens with pink, purple, orange, or red! And never mix blues with orange or red! Anyhow, if you buy this product you will get your moneys worth. It is super vibrant, in fact, is so vibrant that you can dilute it for applying if you have more porous hair (as a result of several bleachings which are necessary to attain platinum hair.) Speaking of bleaching.. you MUST pre-lighten your hair several shades (if you are naturally dark) for this dye to take hold and fill your hair cuticle. That is how you get a very vibrant color-true shade from this dye. I highly recommend and cannot say enough good things about this bleach: Schwarzkopf Igora Vario Blond Plus Blue Dust-Free Bleach (Available here on Amazon) It has never broken my hair off, burnt it, or burnt my scalp. And as my hair is naturally dark brown, this bleach has always provided the most rapid lifting, in several levels, that I have ever achieved at home. That being said on to some more information which I hope you will find useful. If you are interested in diluting this product as I do then here is my diluting recipe and tips and tricks that work for me! Tools: 1.) Get a value package of vinyl gloves. Never mind buying them by the set at the beauty supply per hair coloring, way too expensive in the long run. A lady ALWAYS needs gloves on hand. You'll thank yourself for it whenever the hair coloring fancy strikes!) 2.) DOLLAR STORE: Buy a box of plastic spoons & forks, great for mixing and disposable. 3.) DOLLAR STORE: Buy a 2-4 count set of "tupperware" type bowls with lids - these you can use to mix your color then store under the bathroom cabinet for future use. My diluting Recipe: 80% Conditioner (Cheap one such as White Rain!) I use the Coconut scent as it makes your hair smell divine! 20% Jerome Russell Punky Colour (1 good teaspoon will do it.) Mix well to blend it completely, scrape the bottom of the bowl and sides to ensure that it is all blended evenly. Apply! *** You can control the amount of hair dye ratio to suit your needs, such a lower amount for Pastel Hair, or a higher amount for brighter hair. I never put it on full strength because it wastes product as far as I am concerned and PLUS I do not want to be stuck with the same hair color for months. Want to keep it bright and vibrant? Here is how: DO NOT use harsh shampoos at ANY TIME or shampoo often. Get yourself some "Dry Shampoo" to control the oily roots only, it will freshen them and leave your hair smelling great after absorbing the oils. Use a shampoo which is SULFATE-FREE only. The vegan section of the grocery store should have a reasonably priced one or you can opt for purchasing a more pricey salon product. Don't like it? Here is how to remove: I have very porous hair so it "grabs" color easily and sometimes it does not want to let go! When I want it out the first steps that I take are using 'Head & Shoulders shampoo'. This stuff will really fade it quick within a few washes. You can't just massage it into your head and expect it to work though. You have to massage it well through your lengths by rubbing the lathered hair between your hands from top to bottom, one section at a time. Then you will see lots of dye rinse down the drain. Once I have it faded I then take a plastic mixing bowl and mix up either an entire packet or a full scoop (depending on which bleach you have on hand, a pre-measured packet or a canister) of hair bleach with a 30 or 40 VOL Creme Developer FIRST, blend and allow to sit for several minutes to activate, and then I add in several squirts of any shampoo - which for those who don't know - this is called a "Soap Cap" I apply this to my entire head (wet or dry) and massage quickly then let it sit for about 2 minutes or slightly longer. Usually before I even have a chance to finish getting all my hair covered with this mixture I can see the color just disappearing instantly! SO the same may be true for you and if it is WORK FAST to apply it. There is no need to keep bleach, even diluted bleach, on your hair for more time than it needs to be, specially if it is already damaged. Mine is damaged however these soap caps never hurt it :) Follow with a nice conditioner! Not something cheap. I love Hayashi 911 Emergency Pak Re-constructor. It cost's about 33 bucks for 33 ounces here on Amazon. I Squeeze the excess water out of my hair with my hands and then apply this conditioner, clip my hair up and cover my head with a plastic cap (you can use saran wrap also! or even a plastic grocery bag) and leave it on for at least an hour. It is truly a moisture quench for parched hair! AND THE SMELL IS DIVINE! ***About using soap caps for removing alternative colors: Soap Caps work best on faded Pink, Yellow, Orange, Purple dyes. They are pretty much instantly wiped out. Colors I have found which don't need to be faded first to be successfully stripped out quickly are: Pink Yellow Colors which I have found are super stubborn to remove with either Head & Shoulders or Soap Caps are: BLUE Colors which I have found to need substantial fading to be removed easily: Purple Green I love blue and purple but they are tenacious, especially blue. At least for my hair. I hope this review might help out some newbies! Please remember that ALL hair is different and dyes and removal processes are highly subjective to each individual! The above tactics just happen to work great for my hair so I thought I'd share. ... show more

  • If youre looking for a color that lasts, this is the one.
Color: Flamingo Pink Size: 3.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Imo this is the BEST semi permanent color on the market. Ive tried all of the popular brands, manic panic, arctic fox, etc and they all tend to wash out completely, ie back to blonde, within about 1 week. Punky color typically lasts me about 6 weeks. For reference, I have baby fine hair, naturally medium brown, I bleach with 30 vol developer first and then apply punky color (pink flamingo) and let sit for 30 mins before rinsing. I typically wash my hair about 3 times a week, I dont use color safe shampoo. I only do my bangs, and a tub of this color has lasted almost a year. I have let it sit for only 5 minutes or so, and still, the color lasted about 3 weeks. If its not lasting for others, they may not be super familiar with how to make semi permanent colors stay put (such as cold water washes, a long soak application, ensuring the hair is bleached prior to application). This product is amazing, affordable, smells great, long lasting, and ive been using it since at least 2021. Also I have very pink skin, and orangy pinks wash me out, this one is the perfect purple based pink! Photos below are 2/15/26 right after a fresh application and 4/1/26 when its mostly washed out. ... show more

  • punky color has never disappointed me!
Color: Violet Size: 3.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
i was originally planning on buying another brand of dye but after having bought punky color’s color depositing shampoo twice, i had enough trust that the actual dye would be great. i noticed a kind of a thick consistency but was easily fixed with a little bit of conditioner mixed in. smells super good (grape scented) and application was super easy! i had a decently light base but it was definitely nowhere near blonde or light blonde and the color is still pretty vibrant. people mentioned staining so i was a bit worried but dishsoap and a sponge got any dye off surfaces, and if the stain is fresh, water and a napkin will do. instructions say to use vaseline to prevent staining but it really wasnt necessary as i wiped off any excess dye from my forehead or neck and then when i washed it out the remainder came off. it stained my hands a little while i was styling my hair but after washing my hands twice it fully came off. i recommend washing the dye out in a sink anyway just to make sure you dont stain your bathroom. great color will be buying again once it fades! :) ... show more

  • Great Vibrant Color!
Color: Fire Size: 3.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I recently tried Punky Colour in lagoon blue and fire red for my kids. I spent a long time looking for a non-damaging color for my kids hair. I'm a long-term user of Overtone, but it never showed up quite as bright in my kid's hair. My son's hair is on the darker side, so I had to lighten it twice, and even at that, it still had the yellow/orange tone. The colors were actually incredibly vibrant, especially the red, and lasted through several washes.This was a great alternative for a non-damaging hair color for kids! The red jar had less product than the blue, but was still mostly full. The dye smells amazing, like bubblegumish, and it left my son's lightened hair feeling moisturized. The last photos of his hair (the ones taken outside) are from after being washed 3 times. The red did bleed down his face after his first wash when he was outside in the rain and it stained his skin orange for about a day and a half. For that reason and because of the red not being full, i gave it 4 stars. I'll definitely be buying Punky Colour again though! ... show more
