My hair dresser has been using ChromaSilk in my hair (I have a little patch of purple) and I love it! It comes in lots of different colors. I don't know if it's something you can just pick up tho...
Manic Panic has a nice blue that lasts several washes, and its not too pricey (they have heaps of awesome colours) You can buy them easy enough on ebay, or check out your local goth shop ;)
Splat! Is a drugstore brand, and I've never used it, but I've never heard anything bad about it either! I used to use RAW, a brand sold by hot topic, and their blue was phenomenal! But this was a lonnggg time ago, Not sure if it's still made anymore =/
I've heard wonders about Manic Panic, sadly those are not sold in Mexico unless I order them online and that makes them so expensive. Last time I used Küül and I did like it.
Awesome thanks! I'll check them all out. I'm a cosmo student so I get to go to the whole sale stores so I'll ask about ChromaSilk and head to sallys for the others. :)
I love manic panic! Enchanted Forest is a really pretty teal-ly green color that I highly reccomend if you're willing to stray from blue. But they have a great selection and I've heard wonderful things about their blues! Live long and dye hard :)
i LOVE n rage colors :) the color i used is twisted teal but only my roots turned the color i originally wanted :P the rest turned a nice blue though so im not mad :D here's a pic :)
I just went blue and absolutely loved Pravana's Chromasilk Vivid. Manic Panic and n Rage are easier to find (Sally) but they are messy and very very temporary - if it rains your shirt will be stained sort of temporary! While I haven't yet found a truly permanent blue, anything that continues to drip off forever isn't a great option (in my opinion).
I liked Rage and Ion at first, but it faded out half the color within the first 2 DAYS and, after almost 2 weeks, I still get blue dye in the tub. I don't know if I'll be trying either of those again.
my favourite blue ever is Special Effects Blue Velvet and its just in between blue and purple so depending on the lighting, it will look either colour :)
