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 Fades nicely
Rather than some semi-permanent dyes that fade to ugly shades of the base colors, Punky Color rarely takes on a dull appearance as it fades. It generally remains nice shades of the original color.
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 UV Reactive options
Manic panic do a select range of neon bright, UV reactive dye. These come in pink, neon green, and neon yellow.
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.
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.
Con Moderately high maintenance and cost
To keep these colours looking their best, it is wise to reapply after 4-5 washes maximum. In Australia, Classic Cream is approximately $25 and Amplified is $30 (Amplified is reported to last 33% longer)
Pro Temporary, not semi-permanent
A less committed colour choice. Washes out much quicker than Manic, with less staining.
Pro Decent colour range
Though not as extensive as Manic, there is a diverse colour range that blends together nicely.
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 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.
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.
Pro Works well on virgin hair
The colors are so vivid that they show quite well even on medium virgin hair. This is a great option for those who don't want to bleach.
Pro Less messy than other semi-permanent dyes
Pravana doesn't bleed as much as other options.
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.
Con Stains everything, color washes out for weeks afterwards
Unless you use proper conditioner sealers.
Con Dye itself does almost nothing to re-hydrate your hair
When using splat, make sure to follow up with a protein hair mask or using a sulphate-free shampoo.
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).
Pro Variety of colors
Special Effects comes in 28 fun shades.
Con Fades quickly
Many of the colors start to fade noticeably after a week or so.
