Pros
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.
Pro Pleasant smell
Rather than the chemical-y scent most dyes give off, Punky Color smells strongly of grape.
Pro Comes in non traditional 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.
Pro Semi permanent
Lasts between 5-40 washes. However, some colors never completely fade out.
Pro Vegetable based hair dye
It won't damage your hair. In fact, it acts as a conditioner.
Pro Very pigmented
While it has some downsides (some of the colors wash out fast, ingredients are harsh on hair, etc) the color does come out looking amazing. In the beginning, it's a very thick, very pigmented product that coats the hair far better than thin watery dyes. For example, you are able to put on a bright yellow without having fully, evenly bleached hair. And the color came out uniformly.
Pro Ultra Bright and Pastel variations available
Pro Affordable, supermarket / pharmacy brand
