I'm looking to dye my hair a bright purple-pink ombre. For the purple I'm pretty sure I want to use diluted Plum by Directions. I'm just not sure what pink to use. I'd prefer a dye I can dilute so I can get a couple of uses out of a tub of hair dye. I was thinking of maybe Flamingo Pink by Directions, but I've read it doesn't stay that long in hair. I was wondering if any of you have experience with bright pink hair and which dye is the best?
SFX Atomic Pink is basically permanent and is very bright.
If you want to stick with Directions, Rose Red is their strongest pink, and dilutes to a similar shade to Flamingo pink.
Nothing comes close to the brightness and staying power of Atomic Pink though
Without diluting, directions carnation pink starts out neon and fades very pretty.
And beware of plum, they've changed the formula and plum quickly goes blue and won't be easily removed, if at all.
Flamingo pink stays in my hair for ever, even diluted. But yeah, atomic pink is the holy grail of sticky pinks.
I like carnation pink and flamingo pink, for how bright they start and how pretty they fade. Atomic pink is bright and stays for a very long time (I had to grow and cut mine out!)
I have to stick to directions because I can't get my hands on SFX from where I live :/ I ordered Plum and Flamingo Pink. I'll see how it turns out, I hope the Plum turns out better than described here! I'll make it work however it decides to turn out though! Thanks for the help everyone! I'll post a pic when it's done!
