Punky Colour 3-in-1 Color Depositing Conditioner & Hair Cleanser - Redilicious, Semi Permanent Hair Color Conditioner, Cruelty-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.

Bought it for the color but this is honestly the best shampoo I’ve ever used which is crazy since it’s a three in one. It smells like bubble gum, it revitalizes my punky red color, and it leaves my hair silky smooth and so soft and shiny. It will stain your tub pink, but it’s easy enough to clean off with most cleaners. I’m very generous every time I use it but it still lasts a long time. I use it once every ten days or so. You just put it in your hair like it’s hair dye and leave it for about ten minutes or so, then hop in the shower to rinse it out. Ta-da! Now you have colored and clean hair. I’ve been using this product for years now and I absolutely love it.

The color depositing works extremely well with my naturally messy/frizzy hair. I've got below the shoulder length hair and a single bottle typically works for 2 to 3 colorings, I only recolor once its faded a fair bit which takes 5 to 10 weeks (with 10 weeks being my hair is almost back to a pale platinum.) This makes it the most worth my money because it goes a long way. It has a bubblegum smell to it which is nice to me but I could see that being a problem for some other people. After treating my hair with this product I will note that my hair feels much softer and less frizzy for four or five days so this helps with my hair frequently getting tangled. Additionally you can blend your own color shades by mixing colors, (Currently rocking a 5/6th pink, 1/6th purple blend with darker bangs). I've also done two tone red and blue hair with this brand to great effect. It works well for me and hopefully it'll work well for anyone else who uses the product, just make sure to rinse it in cold water and don't over shampoo your hair, the more you shampoo the less time the color will last.

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 dye depositing shampoo IS PERFECT and probably saved me so much money in salon visits. This shampoo adds in so much purple to my hair and fully brings my vision and style back to life. Never felt greasy or dry, always clean and soft. It lasts for a long time and one bottle lasted me months.

Just love punky products! Bought this a couple of times along with the blue one for a purple-to-blue ombré effect and it looks stunning! Now trying red-to-purple ombré and it looks amazing too! Works fantastic on bleached hair and even when my roots came through (light brown) it still showed up but a darker purple. Definitely would recommend to anyone who wants fun colours and vibrant hair! Works best with bleached or light hair and I use the shampoo about twice a week (once a week would probably be fine) which reignites the colour, but wouldn’t say you need to dye it any colours before for it to work! Love this stuff!

I got my hair dyed Red from a Salon a month ago and it faded off so I bought this product just to refresh my Reds. Since I’m new to this colour and colour depositing shampoo, I bought this just because it was cheaper. This shampoo works well, thumbs up. I kept it on my wet hair for 10 mins and my Red hair looked beautiful like before BUT BUT- it smells horrible. In the bottle it smells like bubblegum and after applying on hair or mixed with water, it smells like ROTTEN GARBAGE. I’m not even exaggerating. I have sensitive nose and my nose can smell even slightest of smells. So this was too strong for me and I almost felt like throwing up. It actually made me sick for the whole day. 🤢 Next day the smell was gone. So girls, if you can bear strong smells you might try this. Not to forget , once again- the colour pay off is great. Also it stains everything - from your skin to your bathroom floor, so take precautions before using it Thanks for reading ❤️

Le gustó mucho a mi novia, y huele rico, como a bombón pero es ricoooo

Shows very well on my dark blonde hair

Holy cow. Last night in artificial light I couldn't see what it had done see above pics. But this morning holy s### it's like a beacon, I frigging love it. Gonna get some other colours too now. I'm hooked. My hair was originally dyed with just henna powder (light mountain) this is usually a semi permanent but as my hair is very porous it is permanent for me. I was getting bored with just ginger over my natural blonde. So I figured if this didn't work, no harm done. I've not bleached my hair in the slightest for over 4 years and grew every inch of bleached hair out. So yeah I'm pretty chuffed at this result as it means I don't have to destroy my curls with bleach to achieve a bright colour anymore.
