Pro Colors fade nicely
While some colors fade faster than others, they all fade quite nicely and don’t leave an ugly in between colors shade. They just get lighter. It also takes a while for it to fade out completely but does eventually completely wash out (usually after about 2 1/2 months) (update by some one else) I have NEVER been able to wash it out completely. Even after trying to on purpose for a month straight so i could do another color. It just fades to a pastel and kind of stays there. This is after 6+ months.
Pro Vibrant color for months!
It literally stays for months. Yes, a conditioner mixed with dye will touch it up in the shower, but it is not needed. As long as you shampoo quickly in cold water and put in conditioner right away it will stop bleeding while you finish washing up.

For bleached hair, using the product for 45 minutes, you get a beautiful and vibrant color. It is safe to leave on as long as you like.
Pro Large bottles
It comes in 4oz and 8oz bottles do you won’t have to keep repurchasing it.
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 Turns a ugly color
Can turn orange a day later.
Con Racist.
The owner of the company has been caught on video using the n word slur
Con Color doesn't stick
You put it in, leave for 45 minutes, rinse and the color doesn't hold. So you have to apply again. This doesn't happen always though. It works better if left on for as long as possible. It will not hatm your hair to do this.
Con The bottle is opaque
The bottle is not clear so you can’t see the actually color of the dye through it... although I know it saves on shelf life.
Con It fades quickly
After two hair washes the color isn't as vibrant. It starts to fade to brownish purple, although it still looks okay. For the best results, you should reapply it after 5 washes....if you lighten your hair as reccomended it wont turn brown.
Con Diluting is hard
Con Smell is sickly sweet
The smell was horribly sickly and synthetic .... really it depends on the person.
