I used the plum color and it went on really nice. But, it lasted only a week. However, I do shower twice a day and I only left it in for about 1/2 an hour. Next time I use it, I am going to leave it in for much longer.
Flamingo Pink

After reading the review someone left I can clear up a few things about Punky Flamingo pink, having used it myself. The actual dye is a dark magenta color. It's like a dark pink/purple. The first few days it will seem ultra-magenta and hotpink, but you're suppose to wash it a few times or so to get the color to gradually fade to what it's suppose to be, flamingo pink. After a few washes it fades into a really good flamingo hotpink! And it stays for a long time. Also, the darker your bleached hair the more purple it will seem. Best used very light blonde hair. If you don't want a hot magenta pink and are looking for a pastel shade, either mix it with toner or get SpecialFX cupcake pink.
Punky - Red Wine

There's like 11 different Punky versions of red! I tried Red Wine and it only stays the perfect red for about a day or two. Once you wash/rinse it once... It turns into a dark pink, like the actual wine [GOOGLE it f0o!]. It really doesn't stay a true red very long at all. I'm a little unhappy about it but I think next time I'll try a different red and see how it goes.
Stay away from Flamingo Pink!

Not long ago after being tired with Manic Panic, I was looking for a new brand of "un-natural" colors. So I came across these reviews here about 'Punky Colors' and was delighted about this stuff. My hair was a hot pink before it faded back into a bleach blonde. I ordered 'Flamingo Pink' thinking it was going to be a more "soft" (lighter) version of Manic Panic's 'Red Passion'. It arrived 3 days after ordering. When I opened the jar, I noticed that the gel was a dark purple instead of a pink...
After putting it on and leaving the color in my hair for 30 mins. and washing it out - it did'nt turn out as pink. This color came out to be a very dark reddish/purple color, kind of like red wine - but NOTHING close pink! Now I'm very disappointed at the results.

I had never dyed my hair anything but standard box colors, mostly auburn. I got the urge to try something different for a concert I was going to this summer. Purple was a natrual choice for me. A friend bought me two jars of Punky in the Plum shade for my birthday. I was hesitant to lighten my hair first, fearing that it would get fried, so my roomate applied the first jar to my untreated hair. It looked nice. Whenever the light hit it, wow purple! However it didn't last long and I was a little distressed at the clean up.
For the second jar I decided to lighten my hair first. I got a blond hair dye that had bleach then used a blow dryer to dry my hair out completely (poor hair felt awful) before adding the Plum. It came out much much better and my hair is quite obviously PURPLE! I think next time I'll bleach my hair completely white first and leave the color on longer.
Perfect colors and last a long time

When you get it, you can tell it's good stuff. Thigns like Manic Panic or Stellar! are very water based and weak. When you open Punky,...you can smell it. It's that potent. It sets in for 30 minutes, but I usually leave it in for longer to get a really full rich color. It's gorgeous. After about two weeks, it started fading, but the color it is now, a really pretty like Cancun-ocean-blue looks really good too! Plus, all I color is the tips of my bangs(it's really nifty, so don't knock it until you've seen it,...it looks really cute on me) so it'll last a long time. It works better if you bleach the area first.

I ordered two of the colors. First I would like to say the colors are fabulous. Unfortunately, my daughter only had 3 washes and it has faded terribly. I thought it was supposed to last 5 - 40 washes.
Mighty fine

I've been using Plum for over four years now, and I haven't found a vivid purple anywhere on the market that comes close to rivaling it. It bleeds purple for a while, like the other reviews say, but after a few thorough washes the color settles and there shouldn't be anymore running. If there is, then soap, water and a bit of scrubbing should fix most problems.
If you use Punky products over a long period of time, the hair color begins acting more like a permanent and less like a semi. Even bleach couldn't get the purple out of my hair! Five stars and heartfelt thanks, this product is definitely worth buying.
this product is good

Ive been coloring my hair for a couple of years and would only use manic panic until I found Punky Hair Color. I absolutely love it. The only down fall is that every time your take a shower or your hair gets wet it tends to leak a little but other than that the color stays in your hair longer than the other products ive used. Instead of having to dye my hair once a week ive been doing it once a month a big difference.
JR FTW!

I swear by this product, point blankly. I've used many hair dyes in my day, but nothing is as vibrant as Jerome Russell... Its bright, and neon, and even if you didn't bleach it would probably show up on even the blackest hair.
punky color is awesome!!!

I chose this midnight blue hair dye specifically because of its claimed "metallic" blue color. I was hoping to get a dark blue that might look black from far away, but blueish in the right light. But I just got black hair; it doesn't look blue at all. I could have gotten a black dye for much less if I had wanted that.
Amazing stuff.

I was first introduced to Punky hair dye by a friend in school. I asked her if it ok to do the same color. She agreed and even gave me her leftovers to do my hair. It was the best dye experience I ever had. I used the color of Atlantic Blue. Don't be fooled by it's appearance it's beautiful! My words of advice when working with this product is cover everything!!! even when you sleep. if you own expensive sheets or something a hair wrap of some kind may be desired. Also when washing hair out,.. before stepping in the shower rub your hands over in baby oil also bend over front ways to wash your hair to prevent splatter and dying your back silly colors. I speak form experience.
Definitely turns your hair pink as well as everywhere else

I recently used this product. I even used petroleum jelly to prevent staining on my skin. Even after a few washes my whole body ended up pink from taking a shower and it running out of my hair. It takes days to get the color off of your skin. Will definitely color your hair pink though.

I tried Punky Color in Purple and LOVED it. I first had large streaks bleached and the rest dyed a shade lighter than my natural dark brown. The Purple was a very vibrant fuschia/purple in the bleached areas and created a subtle purplish-tint on the darker hair. The brighter highlights lasted a LONG time, remaining fuschia/purple for well over a month and slowly fading to a pinkish-lavendar which stayed until I dyed over it 4 months later!

I have been dying my hair vivid colors for over 20 years and this is by far the best product I have ever used. I used maic panic for most of that time only to be frustrated because not only did the color fade quickly (if it even took at all) but you have to apply most of the jar to get even coverage. Punky color takes very little dye and it stays in your hair for a very long time, granted it will fade with each wash, but the color is always very vivd. I only go throug one jar every few months. I highly recommend this product.
the best hair coloring product

i've been using punky to dye my dreads (after bleaching of course) for three years now. every color i've used has lasted for months, remaining vibrant and visible. when it fades, it tends to still not look that bad.
also, it's a thicker product that allows for easier application without dripping every where- a good thing if you do your hair yourself.
ehh

I bought the Violet and used it on dark brown hair because I just wanted a hint of color. It showed up ok but was way too messy and stained for weeks.

I've been using Punky Plum hair dye to dye my hair for over five years now. I've tried Special Effects and Manic Panic--the first came off on everything, the second had absolutely no staying power. Punky gives a wonderful rich color, conditions that tortured bleached hair, and stays in your hair instead of smearing all over your pillow for weeks. I'd highly recommend it to anybody wanting bright, beautiful hair in less common colors.
