Cherry cola hair has taken the world by storm recently, and we’ve all fallen in love with this colour. Perfect for those with dark hair, as you’re starting with a great base, this hairstyle is a deep and warm colour. Layer red over deep brown hair to create a beautiful burgundy blend, the red catching the light and drawing attention to your hair. Starting with darker hair and adding a hint of red is a great way to add some colour without being too vibrant if you’re after a more subtle shift. Try mixing Manic Panic Pillarbox Red and Divine Wine to create a gorgeous plummy-red colour, or use Manic Panic Wildfire over dark hair to achieve a stunning cherry cola effect. Our Manic Panic Classic Colour collection is available for £8.99 each (usually priced at £9.99!) if you buy 2 or more products. Or, check out the Amplified range (£12.99 each when you buy two or more, rather than £13.99 individually) if you’re after a longer-lasting colour experience - Manic Panic Amplified is designed to last 30% longer than the Classic Colour formula.
Semi-permanent hair dye is a great way to refresh any previous colour without piling on damage to your hair - the chemical compositions of semi-permanent dye means it is less likely to damage your hair, as it deposits on top, rather than breaking open the bonds within your hair. If you are refreshing faded colours then semi-permanent is a safer way to go about it! Just make sure you do a patch test, as you should with any sort of hair dye, before putting it on your head. Semi-permanent also fades faster than permanent hair dye. However, this just means more fun and experimentation for you! Get Crazy Color Dye for only £3.50 each when you buy two or more!
We think that bold and vibrant colours are going to be the next big thing - whether it’s a peekaboo style, eye-catching stripes throughout the hair or complete coverage, everyone is keen to express themselves. Right now, red seems to be holding onto the crown, however, we love the jewel tone looks we’ve seen creeping out on the sidelines - deep amethyst purples, sapphire blues and emerald greens. Our La Riche Directions hair dyes are available at £3.99 individually but they are only £3.50 each when you buy two or more! Don’t create a dull and one-note look when such a great offer is up for grabs.
As we continue to shift into spring and summertime, we expect to see even more of these dazzling colours. What’s more fun than adding bright royal colours to your hair? Nearly all the colours available on our website are suitable for mixing, so you can tailor your colour to suit you. If necessary, get that perfect icy blue or vibrant green by mixing two or more shades. Our multibuy offer is the best time for you to get more colours to experiment with! Stargazer colourful semi-permanent dyes are currently £3.25 for a single, but they are just £2.99 each when you buy two or more.
If you love to switch up your hair colour, then don’t stress about trying to strip your hair or worry about the amount of bleach you have to use. With our semi-permanent dyes on offer, you can blend your past colour into your new one and allow it to continue fading naturally. Blue and black take the longest to fade, but you can get creative and blend them with your new colour, continuing to allow them to fade naturally rather than damage your hair by trying to bleach it. And, If your hair has already been bleached, you don’t necessarily have to apply crazy bold colours to stand out - neutral dark colours make plenty of impact with their contrast, especially when applied in a cool and captivating pattern such as a peekaboo style or stripes! One thing we love to see is crazy patterns like leopard print or hearts on freshly shaved hair.
Before you disappear to dye your hair some funky fresh colour, here are some key points to remember when using semi-permanent hair dye:
- Be sure to read the instructions carefully.
- Always do a patch test.
- Darker colours will last longer than lighter colours.
- If your hair has been pre-lightened, the semi-permanent colour is likely to remain in the hair for longer than if it was applied to natural or dark hair.
- Semi-permanent hair dye can still stain, so be careful around white surfaces, your skin and your clothes!
- Be creative and have fun!
