Cons
Con Runny dye
Dye is not as thick as Arctic Fox or Manic Panic, but its more true to color, and works just as good as those brands.
Con Noticeably damages hair
Doesn't damage hair but doesn't condition it either. If you use it make sure to use a good conditioner afterwards, as it will not repair any damage from bleaching your hair to be able to get vibrant colors.
Con Doesn't work
The color is so translucent coming out of the tube it was looks almost void of all pigment.
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 STRONG men's cologne smell
If strong perfume scents and fragrances bother you, avoid this color at all costs. Your hair will retain the perfume through several washes. It might be long-lasting with beautiful colors, but if you get headaches from strong perfumes, it's not worth it.
