Jerome Russell Punky Colour, Poppy Red 3.5 oz (Pack of 1)

I love this! It’s very gentle on your hair. Color lasts about 30 washes. I have many colors.

this product works so well and is so easy to use. it smells lovely and not like a load of chemicals that is going to ruin your hair. i got a box dye from a drugstore and the color was not as pigmented or easy to use as this is. after that unsuccessful box dye i had my hair dyed red professionally and it was way too expensive and not the color i wanted but this product was the right shade of red. i didn't bleach or lighten my hair before but it still is quite bright red. i have pretty long hair and i used a full bottle plus a little of the second bottle. i haven't had it in long enough to see how many washes it stays in for but hopefully it's a lot !! this is the best red dye i've used. for sure going to use these dyes for future use.

Punky Colour is my go-to semi-permanent color brand. It lasts much longer on my hair than Manic Panic and applies much easier than the higher brands like Ion Color Brilliance. I normally keep my hair at a medium purple color, but for some reason my hair loses red shades faster than any other color. After a few weeks my hair will always fade to a medium blue (Purple-Red=Blue). I bought Poppy Red to throw in when my hair has faded to blue and it works perfectly. With about 1 part dye and 3 parts conditioner I get back to my normal purple shade.

Awesome color, similar to Garnier 666 but a little bit brighter, and smells like candy for about 4 washes. Beware: it would stain your pillow and towel for sure, but all semi-permanent dyes do, or that's what I've heard. And it's truly conditioning because I bleached my hair twice before and other than not washing as often and using a deep conditioner, my hair responded better than with natural dyes like Naturtint, let alone the mainstream dyes.If you don't want to stain your towel, use an old t-shirt or a dark towel to dry your hair, and for the pillow the same... and don't wear white with your hair wet haha. If you want the color to last, don't wash often, I do once a week and my oily scalp took it well, especially because I don't use any styling product other than Batiste dry shampoo once or twice a week, which is vegan and easy to find. The natural oils keep your hair healthy anyway and you won't smell, at least my husband says I don't smell, thank you, babe, hahaMy only complaint is the shipping: I ordered 2 and it came in separate bags, makes no sense. Save some gas and plastic, guys!

I've used Punky Color turquoise quite regularly, and that shade last and lasts! Unfortunately, the poppy red did not. I loved the color for the first few days, but after just a few washes it faded to pink. I think I'll stick with the turquoise.

For years and years and YEARS this has been my color (primarily poppy, sometimes a little vermillion) and it has never disappointed. it's like an old friend at this point. I've strayed, and I'm ashamed... But I always come back and I'm always happy for it. I sleep in it... Hair always feels great after. As long as you don't screw it up bleaching, this color won't do you wrong.

This hair dye is horrible, every time the hair is washed it bleeds so much it stains tub, skin ect. My neck looks like I have a sunburn because so much of the color washes out with every wash, it just stains everything. We have used other brand hair dye but never had the mess this one makes. I will definitely be going back to one of the other brands.

I have been using Punky for years. In terms of longevity and color, it beats any other brand I have tried (Splat, Arctic Fox, Manic Panic, SFX). I always get compliments on my colors. Easy to apply, long lasting color, and smells great too!The Poppy Red did bleed a bit (Vermilion Red and Alpine Green did not), so be careful with towels and pillowcases.
