Ebony Semi Permanent Conditioning Hair Color, Vegan, Ppd And Paraben Free, Lasts Up To 25 Washes, 3.5Oz

My first mistake was not trusting my instinct. My first thought was to not buy this product. For a couple reasons. 1. I was looking for a SEMI permanent, emphasize on the SEMI, I change my hair color quite often. At least 4 to 6 times a year. 2. Black is not my favorite color to dye my hair, but I really wanted to do a split black and green. 3. I've never used punky, and I usually dont trust products I myself or someone i know personally have used before. BUT, the brands I usually go for (Lime crime unicorn hair or artic fox) dont have the greatest black options. So I did a little research and found punky. Which was also 100% vegan, my number one priority. I decided I would go for it and try out this out. When it arrived, I was excited. I opened the package immediately. First thought : "this looks more like dark purple/blue, not black. But meh, black does usually have one or the other undertones" Second thought: "this smells GREAT!" Put my gloves on. Split my hair, and started applying, my hair was a lightly colored bleach blonde (natural hair color is a dirty blonde, but my hair is always colored like I stated before) my first apply, "yup, definitely blue/purple" finished applying. Before applying color on the other side i went to to wipe the color off my skin and realized it STAINED my skin, even through vaseline along my hairline. So that sucks but whatever. It will come off eventually. Did my other side with Lime Crime Unicorn Hair in 'Jello' After applying, I waited 30 minutes before rinsing my hair. While rinsing the water was DARK. I was afraid that the color didnt even stick that's how dark it was. I knew immediately it was gonna stain everything. And it didn't disappoint. It literally stained EVERYTHING it touched. The bathtub, shower walls. The CALKING in my shower, my SHOWER PRODUCT CONTAINERS, literally everything. After nearly 2 months, some stuff is STILL stained after hours spent scrubbing. Anyways, I get done rinsing. I actually end up liking the color, not exactly what I wanted, but liked it none the less. Dried my hair, it was beautiful. I loved it. No complaints at that point. Now, nearly two months later. This is when I decide to write my review because of what is happening now. Through time, my color faded. Into a lighter purple/blue. Which is fine, I guess. The color didnt stop bleeding until about a month of me washing my hair every other day. It stained everything on it's way out. My neck when I wore my hair down, my nails everytime I touched my head, my hats. My sheets, my pillowcases, my boyfriends arm when I would lay on it. Literally everything. So that was annoying. Fast forward til now. Got a new job recently and before I start next week, I needed to go back to a "less extreme color" my hair is plenty faded that if I were to use color remover, the color should come out just fine. Yea, WRONG. I used color remover WITH applying heat, for 45 minutes. Not just once, but TWICE. And it barely touched it. I finally had to use bleach (only on that half because the FIRST TIME I used the color remover, all of the Lime Crime was out of my hair on the other side.) And guess what? my hair is STILL PURPLE, with now touches of pink in the more 'damaged' areas. Never going to buy this product again. I bought SEMI permanent. Not permanent. So if you like changing your hair color, dont use this. But if you like semi cheap hair color that stays FOREVER. This is your stuff. Not mine ! Theres a reason I dont use permanent hair color.

Bought to touch up a buzz cut more regularly, dyed my scalp green and didn’t change my hair colour

Ebony is supposed be black. Idk if the product was just old or mislabeled but it was teal green. It rinsed out teal and colored med blonde hair teal. It also came out in 3 washes and isn't eligible for a refund. Don't waste your money.

Worst product

Its punky. Its perfect.
