Punky Semi-Permanent Colour Cream Plum 3.5 Oz.

 (13 customer reviews)

This is the best hair color in the "non-natural color" line that I have found. It is long lasting, even more so if combined with L'anza brand Trauma Treatment leave-in conditioner. The color is vibrant and "Plum" is more of a true purple, whereas "Purple" is more on the pink end, with "Violet" more on the blue end.

Be warned, it will stain EVERYTHING! For the first week after application, be careful what you wear as it will stain the back of the neck of any shirt you wear and put a towel over your pillowcase or it will stain too. The good thing is, if it's white, bleach will take it right out. Also, use Easyoff Kaboom bathroom cleaner on your sink and shower, and you will never know that it was once purple/blue/red/green... To me it's worth it to have such an incredible color, I receive compliments everyday from complete strangers!

I agree with the other reviewer who said this color is more of a true purple than the others in the purple spectrum of this line. I have tried the Purple and Violet colors as well, and it is actually a toss up between the Plum and Violet for me as to which color I like best. The Violet kind of gives you a color changing effect...in low light the strands look more royal blue but out in the sun you get the purple effect.

I took the advice in that same review to buy the L'anza trauma treatment product and the combination seems to be working very well. I'm over a week out and the plum color still looks great (in the past, I've had to touch up on a weekly basis to keep it from looking faded).

I also agree about the color getting everywhere, even if you are careful. Plastic gloves are an absolute must! You will need to be prepared to clean your tub or whatever you use to rinse the color out in when you are finished. Now, I personally am still getting purple suds...Read more

I've had my hair a multitude of different colors over the years, and my favorite was always this color. I was so sad when my local beauty supply chain stopped carrying this line (back when it was still in a squeeze tube). I'm so excited that it's available relatively inexpensively online, as I've just recently gone back to purple (it was always my color :-P)
