This stuff is just so easy to use at home. It is a beautiful color, practically neon manganese violet for level 9N toned blonde on a natural dark brunette, kinda plum on unbleached roots. I want to try mixing in a little blue sometime for a grapey purple.
I’m not picky about color shift from root to tip, so I just slap it on once in a while to give myself an allover dark to light violet tone. I literally mean “slap it on”. I don’t bother brushing it on because I can’t hold my arms up that long. I just squeeze from the tube along partings and rub it with that money gesture through the roots with gloves on. When that’s in, the rest of my above-shoulder hair gets combed through. It won’t stain the scalp terribly. I’m sorry if this process horrified anyone! (≧▽≦)
The scent is nice. I massage in a large amount of conditioner to rinse out then finish with a quick vinegar rinse and more conditioner. No washing for as long as possible. Won’t transfer to pillowcase after first couple of days.
My only complaint is it takes a while to cover grays. I cover with a shower cap and towel and keep it on for a few hours. Gets the gray to a lavender and does no damage.

I’m a hairdresser and have prelightened hair which at the moment is purple. I usually use crazy colour or directions for bright vivid colours. No matter what colour I use my colour always will fade out to a light aqua marine colour. Found this brand on amazon and totally in love with it. The positives : no peroxide, doesn’t stain my skin, towels or pillow cases, actually does rinse out clear, I only have to top up the colour every month (opposed to weekly refreshing) and the best part is that it doesn’t fade out to the usual aqua green..I’m a happy bunny, I enjoy all the fading spectrums with this colour
The negatives: the price…

As someone who will no longer touch their hair with bleach or permanent hair dye, I had to find a semi permanent dye that still gave me some depth of color I wanted and lasted more than a few weeks. Pravana is it.
Almost all semi permanent hair dyes (especially ones that show up on darker hair) are going to stain and be hard to work with. I’ve been using them for almost 8 years now and have it pretty much down to a science. I used to have to dye on a Friday because I’d have stains on my head, neck, ears, hands etc and couldn’t go to work the day after. I now can dye the night before and go to work the next day.
I got a lot of these tips from other Amazon reviews years back and some were my own discoveries. Nonetheless I’m passing them to you. If you do not want to stain yourself or your bathroom, try the following…
– Cover your sink and counter top with a trash bag or old towel. No matter how careful you are, a drip is probably going to get on it.
– Same with the floor. Put something under you.
– Put Vaseline or aquaphor (a lot of it) all around your neck, forehead, temples, ears, arms (unless you wear long sleeves) sides of your cheeks.. everywhere color could touch (it will touch your skin no matter how careful you are).
– get a cheap hair dressers cover. I wrap mine so the open sides wrap towards the front of me and the closed section is in the back. Pull it up to your back hairline and fasten as best you can. If it slips down, the vaseline gives you protection.
– Wear gloves when you apply the dye, rinse the dye and the first and sometimes second time you wash with shampoo. Same with when you brush it after the first rinse or two. It’s going to bleed and will stain when the dye is still really potent in your hair so wearing gloves until it’s dry will prevent staining.
– Use a color applying brush. It doesn’t matter too much on which end you start with since there’s no developer. I find starting at the top gets less dye on my arms. If you get dye on your skin, you can remove with old rag or paper towel at the end. I get all the color on and then wipe everything off with an old rag or paper towel. There’s usually no staining since I used Vaseline but if there’s any left, soap and water in the shower will take the rest off. I usually have no staining when I get out after the first rinse.
– I usually leave the color in overnight since my hair is so dark. You do not need to do this. It has never harmed my hair (I think it feels amazing after) and I personally feel I get better color this way. I wrap my hair in a Walmart bag and make sure it’s covering my neck and tie the two handles towards the front of my head. Sometimes I double bag. Never had stains on my pillow when I woke up.
– If you have a clogged or slow draining tub, you will have massive staining first couple of rinses. Even if you don’t you will probably have some staining. If any color gets on the walls as you are rinsing, immediately take a cup of water and rinse it. It may or may not get it all off or you may see a hue of color depending on how much dye was there. I have a trick for any color left.
– Immediately after getting out of the shower, wrap your hair in an old towel. It will stain the towel and any drops can stain your floor. Get all the water out you can so your hair isn’t dripping.
– spray your tub the second you can! I use the Clorox bathroom cleaner with bleach. It comes right off. Regular bleach in water will get it off too if you fill up your tub and let it sit. But I found the spray is much easier. Spray and rinse or spray and wipe. Both work for me. You can never tell the tub was purple or blue afterwards. Also works if you get it on tile or sink. Careful though because sometimes a blob of the dye has gotten directly on my sink and even with bleach it still had some discoloration. That’s why I cover my entire counter now.
– Also watch out for doors and walls! You may think you are father away than you are and brush up against it. Same when applying the color. Careful not to get drips on the wall or front of your sink. A magic eraser has worked for walls for me before but sometimes nothing got the color out depending on the wood.
I know I seems like a lot but it’s worth it to have colored hair without the damage. My hair is so long now and finally doesn’t feel like straw. Pravana gives me the best color on non bleached darker hair and it lasts a good 2 months for me. All those steps above ensure I am NOT staining my skin and needing to scrub it off before work and that my bathroom stays dye free.

The violet will darken your hair some, and if you have any red in your hair or like mine, it gets coppery highlights when lightened it turning grey, the color will have more red undertones. It holds best on processed hair, but you don’t necessarily have to beach it. Mine was a level 8 and covered all but the new white hairs along the sides of my face and front hairline. I used a periwinkle color by lime crime there . It’s fading nicely, not damaged . Using purple shampoo helps keep it toned and longer lasting. Mine was a little too bright for my taste at first , but I used it straight so I’ll mix it with a little conditioner next time. It’s only been 2 weeks but still looks great I really love the way it’s fading and I get compliments all the time.

I read so many review on this before taking the plunge. I’d tried the Pravana Vivids Locked-In but had been really disappointed with the purple colour being much too pink and it only lasting a week before serious fade.
I totally love the vibrant colour that this gives. I didn’t have this all over I just had my sister weave out some lower layers on one side and used foils to protect the hair I didn’t want coloured. Unfortunately when washing out, the colour did bleed onto the untreated hair and you can’t really see the highlights. Its more of a solid layer of colour. But because the colour was not added on the top of my hair it still gives the peeking through purple that I was hoping for. (Its hard to explain so I have included a picture)
Its also turned some of my hair a almost silvery colour which I actually really like along side the violet.
Oh and you only have to use the smallest amount. I used this neat and you can barely tell any has left the tube.
Be warned that this does stain EVERYTHING it touches but this came out really easily with little bleach.
I only did my colour yesterday so can’t yet comment on how it fades but will update my review in a few weeks. At the moment I am loving my purple and blond hair. Its exactly what i was hoping for and is proper purple not a sort of pinky purple.
Will def use again!

You can really customise the colour dependant on how much product you use. I have naturally brown roots with died blonde ends (see before photo) .The first time I tried only about 6 drops together with a colour mixing pot of conditioner- came out a lovely lavender like colour.
The next time I wanted to try how vibrant I could make it so used about a third of the tube mixed with minimal conditioner and had a beautiful deep purple. It’s been on now for 3 weeks and only just started to fade and I Do wash my hair daily. No colour has ever come out on my white pillow cases so I’m super impressed. Will stain your cuticles temporarily but doesn’t stain sink or shower. – most definitely recommend.

I have kept my hair purple in some form for about a decade now and have typically used this color/shade. When I have tried something else, I have always come back. Either the shade doesn’t look right or the longevity of it isn’t good enough.
My biggest issue with this is the staining…it gets everywhere, so if you’re new to it, be prepared. ALWAYS wear gloves. Put towels down before applying. If you use too much and sweat, it WILL show…so use sparingly; a little goes a long way. Just make sure your hair is wet with the dye, not sopping. I always cover my head to keep the heat in, and no less than 20 minutes. If your hair is dark naturally like mine, it will need to be lightened to show the color.
It lasts roughly 6 weeks or so, depending on how often you shower, your shampoo, your hair, and your water quality. I do periodically reapply as needed before lightening my hair again. But this is absolutely my go to purple hair dye.
Some tips:
Sally’s sells a barrier cream to use around your hairline and ears to avoid staining; it’s worth the investment.
IF you do happen to get it on your skin, rubbing alcohol is your friend.
Should it get on somewhere you don’t want it (countertops, etc) take a Cottonball and soak it in a bleach-based bathroom cleaner and place it on the dye spot. Leave it there for 30+ minutes and it’ll fade away. If it gets on something that aren’t safe for bleach, try white vinegar.

It died everything except my hair, but maybe because i did in on my died dark purple permanent colour. Though you can see sonething in sunlight, not much has changed for me. I had to rub my bathtub after cleaning of the colour and when i eas straitening my dry hair my hand just became totaly purple. You have to have gloves for each thing you do when workibg with this dye. Not sure if i want to do it again, maybe its better for light hair only

Right first off it does work so that’s good. My hair is red and without pre lightening it made my hair a lovely dark purple. So it’s a nice colour. And it smells good going on and after.
Sadly I had a bad time with it. First of all I will admit I didnt do a patch test. I’ve been doing my own hair at home for over 15 years and have never had a reaction to any brand of hair colour. It went on without any burning and I didnt actually apply it to my scalp as i have dark brown roots growing through so didnt think there was much point. Although the next day my scalp is incredibly sore. So dont be silly like me, do a patch test first.
Its messy! If you know what you are doing you wont make a mess with application, look I’m not an idiot or doing this for the first time ever. But as soon as I rinsed it out the colour went everywhere. Thankfully it was easy to remove from the bath with bleach. My skin however was stained all over. My face, ears, neck, shoulders, arms … took 3 hours of scrubbing my skin sore to try and get rid if it, nothing would remove it. I’ve now woken up the next day and just from sleeping on it it has stained one side of my face again. I’m dreading washing my hair again because of the mess it makes.
Also I ran out before covering all of my hair with it. My hair is only shoulder length so I found that annoying. Luckily I had bit left of another purple that I could use but now my hair is two different shades of purple. I wasnt going to by another tube of it for £20!! It’s already more expensive here (by £7) than my usual retailer for hair colour (that dont currently have stock of it due to covid 19)
Wont buy again mainly because of the staining of my skin. Such a shame cus it’s a lovely colour.
