Cons
Con The colors fade quickly
The colors often fade before you've even had your next shower.
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.
