jerome russell Punky Hair Color Creme, Turquoise, 3.5 Ounce

I had been avoiding this brand because reviews made it sound like cleanup was a nightmare. Now I’m wondering if the people saying that just didn’t have a lot of experience with dye? I’ve been dying my hair purple for more than a decade and this was one of the easiest to use, and my shower looked just fine afterwards (see photo). I haven’t had much time to see how it bleeds on my clothes, but I’ve had other brands that turned my hands purple just from running my fingers through my hair and this is not that bad. I had a bit of purple left in my hair from my previous dye so it might look darker on me than someone starting fresh (see other photo), but the vibrance blows my old brand away. And that’s over natural grey hair, I never bleach- although I do have coarse dry hair that takes up color better than some greys. I had been using Pravana vivids, but a year or two ago they changed their formula and the results after that were super disappointing, looked faded on the first day and washed out immediately. I’m a convert to Punky color, and I love that the grape koolaid smell hasn’t changed since I first tried it as a schoolgirl in the 90s!

Love these products.

I have used purple Punky Color and a rose pink before, so I decided to try a new color. This was, by far, the longest lasting color for me. Love this stuff! Smells great.

Best hair coloring product!! Lasts much longer than any other brand I've tried and the color is bright and strong. The cherry on top is the smell, it's so good, I smell my hair constantly when I dye it with Punky color.

First I want to say customer service has been great for helping me which is why I am giving a higher rating. That being said, onto the product...I have used Punky Colour for a few years and when I received the three-pack, two jars were as expected, but the third jar looked like the photos in some other reviews where the dye had leaked out from under the lid and was inside the plastic seal. When I opened the jar it was much lighter in color than the other two, and the consistency was also chunkier and dryer? It looked like it had oxidized despite being sealed. I believe the lid wasn’t on tightly. It looked like older dyes do once they’ve been opened for a long time. And just to be sure if it would still be usable or not I put some on my skin to see if it still would deposit color and stain. It didn’t. It wiped off without leaving a mark.Now like I said I have used Punky Colour for years and this is not typical. The other two jars I ordered were. They have intense colors with a lot of staining power, so if you receive a bad batch I wouldn’t turn away from Punky entirely.That being said, it does also appear that Punky Colour has changed their Plum color to lean more pink/less blue-toned than the jars I bought last year (through a different seller). I looked up product reviews on their website and people were saying it was more fuchsia than expected.Now customer service-wise, the order took a bit longer to ship (it shipped the day after the inital expected delivery date, and then arrived the following day), but it’s understandable in 2020. I contacted the seller and they responded within 2 days to let me know it shipped. I contacted them again about the defective jar and within 2 days they offered a replacement or refund. I opted for a replacement and have received it today. Unfortunately the replacement jar has the same issue, however it seems to still have staining power on my fingers so I’m just going to keep it at this point. I did notice for sure the lid felt less tight this time.So anyways, if anyone has the same issue I recommend contacting the seller to resolve it!

I found Punky Color when my kids wanted to dye their hair but I didn't want to use the traditional box dye with all those harsh chemicals on their hair. I could not be happier with Punky Color! The scent is not overpowering or harsh at all. The color is AMAZINGLY vibrant, VERY bright and a LOT longer lasting than I figured it would be....ESPECIALLY seeing that I mixed 1 part conditioner to 1 part dye prior to application AND I did NOT lighten/bleach any of my kids' hair - 1 ginger, 1 on the darker side of medium brown and 1 on the slightly lighter side of medium brown. I've used 7 of their colors and they have NEVER disappointed!!

LOVED this hair dye 10/10 recommendation it was so bright and vibrant

I love this product. The color is rich and deep and lasts thru several washings. I do use color-friendly shampoo & conditioner & hairspray to extend wear time. It's easy to apply - I use a thick clean makeup brush to apply to colored area. This is better than Splatt which is too watery.
