Punky Colour is the color of choice for many who need to have their hair bright and unusually colored!
Punky Colour hair dye is just $8.50 per 3.5oz jar.
The square solid swatches are based on Punky's approximation of colors on your hair. The swatches above are actual blobs of each dye color. Your actual results on your hair will vary depending on what color you start out with.
Little advice tidbits:
Dyes are like cellophane - and the lighter your starting hair color the brighter the resulting color. So, picture putting easter basket cellophane over your hair in a color when you check the colors above. If you put blue on blonde hair, you'll get green. If you put green over brown hair you'll get 'ugh'.
Wear gloves. Use vasoline or hand lotion and slather it on every bit of your skin that you don't want stained your hair color when you apply the dye.
Bleach kits
40 volume high lift bleach kit
Before you dye your hair any of the bright colors, or to get the best color result - you're going to want to pre-bleach it with a good 40 volume bleach kit.
It's marketed as a blonding kit (because, bleach usually gets you to blonde without any toner or additives anyhow!) - but there is no blonde dye or toner in the box. Instead you'll get the best quality 40 volume bleach you can get.
This bleach kit comes with everything you need for highlighting/tipping/streaking, and comes with 2 applications of bleach. This is what I use to make my brown hair pale and ready for dye, and it works VERY well!
If you have currently processed or damaged hair, proceed with caution when bleaching. Really! I've overbleached my own hair before, and while it was a long time ago, it was VERY memorable.
