The best bet for you would be the Rubine shade.. On "natural" colored hair it will basically act as a "refresher"..of course it will be true to color as the swatch pictured on the website since that is shown on white hair.

Not confusing - and I thought the same thing. I suspect some of them may have actually used Lagoon Blue (which is turquoise-ish). It's a slightly brighter, truer blue (more like cyan) than Turquoise, which has a tiny bit of green it it. When fresh they look very similar, but they can sometimes fade differently, depending on factors like base color, water, shampoo, sun exposure, etc. Lagoon Blue tends to fade into more of a sky blue, whereas Turquoise can yellow a little into a slightly greenish tint. You can keep the colors truer longer and ensure more even fading by bleaching as close to white as possible, then toning with something like Wella's Fanci Tone color toner in Ultra White Minx (the semi-permanent toner, not the rinse; use per instructions with 10 or 20 volume developer) 1-7 days before coloring. Hope this helps.

not likely will it show up, to get the effects you want, like the poppy red photograph - you will either have to peroxide or bleach prior to the colour use.

Depending on how well your hair can soak up dye, it might come out greenish blue. But after even one shampoo your hair will probably turn green. Bleaching is very annoying and it makes your hair feel like straw, but it's very worth it. Many semi-permanent dyes actually make your hair feel very nice even after bleaching the heck our of your hair. But I would warn you that blue is a very tricky color to dye, as even bleaching your hair to a light yellow can make your hair turquoise. Using a toner after bleaching will take out yellow tones from your hair and condition it.

This WILL last on blonde hair. Even without bleaching it will take at least a month of normal washing before it starts fading. Fortunately, punky color generally fades in a really natural way. Even the faded color usually looks good. Once it reaches the end of it's life (which depends on your particular hair type and washing habits) it may begin to look blonde again in some areas before others (my tips have lightened up considerably more, but I haven't died my hair in 4-7 months). If you mean what color it will be when you finish dying it, that's going to depend on your exact hair color. It's not going to look the color of the samples unless you bleach it first, that's for sure. But punky color generally looks nice.

Yes. Depending on the color you choose, of course, it will primarily just add a tint. (For example, yellow over dark brown won't show much if at all.) It will be most noticeable in direct sunlight and to varying degrees in other types of light (ie, incandescent vs fluorescent). I've seen some really striking examples of Punky Colour blues, purples, and reds over dark browns; they come out looking like deep tints, totally appropriate for office or school, but out in natural light they look more saturated. One style that looks good without being too awfully edgy is to bleach a very thin layer under the back of the head (ear to ear, just at the hairline) and then dye the whole head with the same color. Then you have that same tint everywhere and it coordinates with that brighter shade underneath. When you do want to show it more, you can do a pony or updo. [I'm not sure about Punky Colours, but some colors of the Special Effects USA brand are UV-reactive, meaning they show up more or even glow under black light.] Hope this helps.

I dyed my hair purple! It was sorta dark at first but after a few washes it turned BRIGHT :) For me, I put it over orange-ish blonde hair & it worked great. Before I did it, (I had the orange-ish blonde), I went & asked the professional lady at the store & she told me to bleach my hair one more time & then put purple on. But I was lazy so I didn't & the next time I saw her, she said she loved my hair & I told her how I put it over orange-blonde, she was surprised. Soo, yeah, that shade of blonde worked for me, so it'll probably work for you. If you want to see before & after pictures then email me, i.l0ve_apples @ yahoo.com

the best thing is to dye it all the same black color and wait till it fades

She will have to actually do her entier hair one color or color correct the spots then dye over it. I used color fix from sally's beauty and it worked really well! Took my hair from a really dark brown to a nice tawny orange so you should be able to dye it back to what it was before. Next time she does her hair have her isolate what she doesn't want ebony with a shower cap and keep it on till the dye is washed out. that should take care of it.

This may sound stupid but it works to fade it fast and almost completely. Tell her or take her swimming in a chlorine based poo. My daughter dyed her hair for her B-day and that weekend went to an indoor water park by the time she came home even the under neath was washed out almost to natural color.

Either comepletely dye her whole head the color, or take her swimming. Chlorine generally takes Punky out fairly quickly.

Yeah, you could. Even read people's reviews. If you dye your hair more than 1 punky color at once, they'll mix, anyway. just be wise and know what colors will mix (ex blue plus yellow makes green) so you don't have to buy a seperate green.
