I wish I had used the Igora developer (contains oil), because if it came out this soft and lovely to the touch (over fried bleach hair!) with cheap no-name developer (it’s what I had on hand from my daughter). So, I have high hopes, and even if it does fade, I expect it to be slower than any direct dye (and hopefully more evenly). But, other reviews of this line say it lasts and lasts with little fading, even the reds. I cannot, as yet, make any claims about the fade factor or how long it will last. I do not know about mixing it with any other brand of dye, or what that would do to the end result, so I will not comment on that other than to say “proceed with caution” if you choose to do that. I would say this could be added to those to achieve a lighter colour of pink, or to punch any of those up a few notches as well. The Igora line also offers some “fun fashion” colours, most of which are in the pastel family. If you want to add a little pizzaz to a brown dye, just to kick it up a notch, I’d also say this would do the trick, if you add just a bit in with your brown dye and developer. If you have naturally darker hair than a level 5 or 6, I don’t know what will happen for you (I used a 20 developer, so a 30 may give better results for darker hair), but if you have 6 or lighter, it should come out as a deep berry/wine/plum (the red/pink hue is still present, just muted) indoors and deep bright magenta/fuchsia outdoors. If you like a deep purple/pink colour, I highly recommend this colour (and if you don’t change colours every two weeks or something, that is). My natural virgin healthy hair looks dull in comparison (seriously, I am contemplating actually getting some of this line in a shade to match my own hair colour, just for the shine factor). It glows and shines and is sovery soft! Because it doesn’t just coat the hair on the outside, it doesn’t leave any weight or feeling of having something coating your hair (I don’t use styling products, so that’s sort of a big deal to me).Īnd no funky coloured fingernails! And the shine! It isn’t just vibrant – it shines! It doesn’t leave the hair dull looking at all. The end result is a wonderful medium/bright fuchsia/magenta (pink!!) in sunlight, and indoors looks more medium/dark plum/wine. So an -89 would be redder, and the -98 is more purple. The order does matter, as the first number is dominant, the second is to shift it. An -88 will be a red red, a -99 will be a violet violet, etc. So if you are looking at other Igora colours, keep that in mind. This could be due to how porous my hair is, but having seen pictures of others who have used it, I think it just is that dark due to being very pigmented.īut! That *is* what I wanted! The colour is glorious! The -98 part of the number system indicates violet red. The end result (bleached or unbleached) is around a 6 or 7 level (same as my normal level), indoors it does appear slightly darker, too (maybe a 5 or 6 level). (fuchsia/plum) hair! □ Now, although this colour is a level 9, so you would think it is a light colour. So, it doesn’t look like a flat matte lifeless solid wig of pinkish hair. It has dimension to it, like hair should have. It’s all covered, and looks the same, but without looking flat. You cannot tell the difference between bleached, unbleached, and any remaining direct dye stained areas (some bleached parts still had it too). Not only did it take wonderfully to the bleached hair (and softened it back up to near-undamaged, as my hair did not like being bleached at all), but it also covered some of the unbleached hair that I accidentally included in the dye coverage, some of which also still had direct dye still staining it. I did pre-bleach for this colour, but only to remove the last bits of a deposit dye and because I was unsure about the coverage of this dye. I have naturally porous hair, so I never needed to pre-bleach in order to get coverage (luckily, I also never aimed for a pastel, either) despite having around a 6 or 7 level hair and auburn/ginger in colour (the orange in my hair did mean that the end colour was not true to the intended colour, though). pink sheets, pink fingernails – from merely running my fingers through my dry hair!), so there was always some sort of drawback with them. Some brands are better than others, of course, but they always faded out too fast for me, or left me with stains everywhere (and not just from wet hair.īut while dry. I have found my soul-mate! For years, I have used those direct deposit “fun” colour type dyes on part of my hair. If a hair dye could be said to be a soul-mate.
