Pros
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
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.
Cons
Con Pastel variations may not latch well
Con Harsh on hair
Con Small packet size
May need to purchase multiple packets for long hair.
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).
Con Shampoo and Conditioner do not perform
Their shampoo range makes no difference to colour staying time.
