I currently have bright red hair with yellow ends. I've been using special effects nuclear red and loved it however it bled through the yellow too much and ended up a fluoro orange. For this reason i've decided to buy Pravana. I have their locked in red and the Neon Yellow. How long can i expect them to last before looking awful, washing about once a week (more if it needs it but i can usually go 7 days) say 2 to errr on the side of caution, using sulphate free shampoos and conditioners?
Also my friend has just got all their locked in (Teal, Blue, Pink and Purple) she has very porous hair that sucks up colour and takes it well but she doesnt use sulphate free shampoo, how long could she expect it to last?
Thanks for any advice you can offer. I'm not too fussed if it doesnt last this time but going forward i'd love to find a combo where i can have red at the top and yellow tips.

I'm not entirely sure how long those colours will last as I have never used the locked in larva a dyes. I know that their normal yellow was very long lasting and highly pigmented though.
One thing you can do to increase the longevity of your colour and stop the bleeding is to switch to conditioner only washing. I have found it much better for stopping hair colours from fading and bleeding than sulphate free shampoo. Also using water as cold as you can stand helps to stop colours bleeding in to each other in my experience.
Please update on how the locked in colours work for you!

I will do, my friend is also doing hers to i'll update how hers has faded with her not being as cautious with shampoos etc.

**Update** 2 weeks and it's already faded to what special effects does at week 4, so i don't think i'll be using it again. It just doesnt last as well. I may use it fr the lower bits of the red above the yellow to help with the wash through but yeah. Rubbish.

SFX Nuclear Red spoils you for anything you use after it I think, I've never had anything else with such staying power! (even permanents!)

I've been in hospital too, so it's only been washed 4 times or so and it's crap. Definitely don't recommend.
