I have only used the Vivids purple/violet, but I have had no issues when I've been swimming in chlorinated pool water, or lake water

I can only respond for purple and blue. If you put heat when dying it, for some reason it has more staying power and does not stain towels/clothes. It does not leak like temporary dyes. It says it's semi permanent however the purple was permanent, fades on tone.

I've put the violet in my hair and, for some reason, mine transferred onto everything every time it was wet. I even used the Ion color lock conditioner, tried the new nexxus color primer before washes, pureology for color-treated shampoo, but nothing would keep this stuff from turning everything purple. You may end up with a little magenta water around you if your color is anything like mine was. :(

I ordered a bottle directly from the manufacturer (which by the way sells it much cheaper than here on amazon) and it too was a blackish-brown, lumpy and wouldn't even pour. I contacted the manufacturer who said it was definitely NOT supposed to be like that. They shipped me a new bottle and I sent them the old one back. This conditioner is ~supposed~ to have a medium dark-brown colour, but it's definitely supposed to be pourable. If you can't pour it from the bottle - send it back and get another.

I mixed it with a white conditioner. Even if you want a really vibrant color I would suggest doing this. It stretches the amount of color you have out quite a bit. I had purple hair for several months and never went through this entire amount.

I did! I henna'd my hair for the first time, and a couple of weeks later realized it was way too dark for me so I tried a light brown permanent color and it worked fine.no problems whatsoever.

I'll be honest with you, I will really unsatisfied with the product. The cake batter ended up a color, not the color expected, and I had to use the entire bottle just to get a decent color. Then when I baked the cake, all the color disappeared. Really strange stuff. But I suppose it would also matter what you are mixing with it and your purpose for the dye.

I used loreals color zap which is safer than bleaching. It takes the dark black out of my hair and turned my hair color to an yellow color. I waited two days and really washed it out good before using sparks. It allows the color to be visible. I really liked the out come of the color the first week. However it really bleeds onto your skin for a few days after coloring.mIt's just like any other hair dye, it doesn't last.

My feeling is that if you are swimming with color treated hair and the color remains unfaded, etc, that this product will help by taking even more chlorine out. My hair is not colored treated.

There is not specific condition that goes with this. And yes- while I can't give you a 100% guarantee, it is a good bet that your hair will turn pink, as my light blonde hair did. Gray and blonde are similar in that they pick up color and "taint" easily (green after swimming in a pool, purple notes, etc.).

I have never been able to get the color out of clothes! Amazing, since it is temporary color! But, on the clothes I have stained with the dye, they are ruined!

Mine leaked a little at first. Check rubber seals inside the screw on piece.I love this pool, one of the best purchases I've made to date. Look up inflatable intex hot tub. That's an even better buy!

Rebecca, I purchased my shampoo some time ago, when I wrote my original review. The same 1/2 gallon is still going strong. Hair color still holding. Sorry not to be of much help.

I have - my hair is pretty dark, so the blue doesn't pop like if I were to bleach it. However, with how well it does work, with a lighter color like you mentioned, I think it would still hold pretty well. This is honestly the best stuff I've found in 10+ years of dying my hair funky colors. Let us know what you think if you take the plunge!! :)

I used the blue one, It goes lighter blue as it fades, i've had it on for about three months, bottoms of my hair have faded green, but in like an ombre style, so it wasn't that bad. Now all the light blue is turning into a light purple. I'm about to get it dyed again. It's a nice dye.

I color my hair regularly and I have not had a problem at all. My colorist actually recommended that I try it. I absolutely love it. I hope this helps :)

I had no problems with it on our cruise, I rinsed the suit out in cool water and hung to dry. No color change at all. The tag does say do not wring so I just squeezed and hung up. I bought 2 and LOVE them!!!

I posted the review right after I did it, so my hair is still quite purple after washing it a few times. I do realize it is a little less vibrant, but it looks decent. Afterwards, not from this dye, but from experience, it's likely to leave a little bit of a purple/pink hue after it completely washes out, but I'm sure if you use a "squeaky clean" or dandruff shampoo it'll definitely take most of it out. Even then, if there are still problems, there are wash-ins that you can get that will tone down the purple/pink hues.
