Pro Pleasant smell
Rather than the chemical-y scent most dyes give off, Punky Color smells strongly of grape.
Pro Great staying power
Punky Color can last for a month or two before starting to fade.
Pro Variety of colors
Punky Colours comes in a wide range of colours (currently 20 to choose from). There are plenty of shades of reds, blues, greens and purples with a few other options.
Con Some colors don't wash out completely
Many reviewers have mentioned the color still being quite noticeable months after being dyed. The color doesn't always come out completely, so it may not be a great option for someone looking to get their natural hair color back.
Con Quite messy
The dye bleeds a fair bit, sometimes staining towels even multiple showers after the dye.
Pro Blend well
Manic Colours blend beautifully, and allow you to create new colours by doing so. You can create a very independent look with these colours.
Pro UV Reactive options
Manic panic do a select range of neon bright, UV reactive dye. These come in pink, neon green, and neon yellow.
Con Some colors don't stick at all
They will wash out when you are rinsing your hair.
Con Staining/Doesn't wash out completely
As the colour washes out, it often leaves the hair with remnants of faded colour is almost impossible to wash out completely. It is best to either cut the hair, or colour over it with a darker shade than the staining.
Pro Decent colour range
Though not as extensive as Manic, there is a diverse colour range that blends together nicely.
Pro Temporary, not semi-permanent
A less committed colour choice. Washes out much quicker than Manic, with less staining.
Con Difficult to find outside of Europe
It's difficult to find the product in Canada and the US. Websites that will ship it outside of Europe (like Amazon) usually put quite a markup on the price.
Con Unpredictable wash out time
The wash time can vary between very few, to quite a lot before the colour disappears (many users say it disappears quite quickly).
Pro Less messy than other semi-permanent dyes
Pravana doesn't bleed as much as other options.
Pro Long lasting
Pravana stays a bright, vivid color for longer than most other semi-permanent dyes. Many people have mentioned 6 weeks before a sight fade is noticed (depending on their hair and the Pravana color).
Con Does not lift "normally"
If you do not have your hair done at a salon, do not try to remove Pravana at home... it will stain your hair (mint green if it's a cool color and coppery pink coral if it's a warm color) and have to be color corrected if you do not use the correct bleach and formula.
Con Does not entirely wash out
Though the dye is semi-permanent, it leaves a much stronger permanent tint in the hair than the other options. Many reviewers mention that their hair never returned to it's natural colour.

Pro Long lasting
In comparison with other brands with red or pastel colors, Arctic Fox's poison and periwinkle colors lasted longer.
Con Color doesn't stick
You put it in, leave for 45 minutes, rinse and the color doesn't take. So you have to apply again. Doesn't always happen though.
Con Hard to get out of hair
It takes a few color removers to get the color out to a bleach able level.
Pro Very vibrant color
I use their red shade and the color that comes out of the tube is very similar to what will come out in your hair.
Con Stains everything, color washes out for weeks afterwards
Unless you use proper conditioner sealers.
Con Fades very quickly
After 3-4 washes the color will leave a little tinge of the old color along with the faded color
Con Small packet size
May need to purchase multiple packets for long hair.
Pro Variety of colors
Special Effects comes in 28 fun shades.
Pro UV reactive colors
Some dyes react under blacklight (Atomic Pink , Nuclear Red ,Cherry Bomb, Hi-Octane Orange, Joyride, Cupcake Pink , Bright as F#@$ Yellow, Napalm Orange).
Con Fades quickly
Many of the colors start to fade noticeably after a week or so.
