• More on Special Effects

  Special Effects is one of the longer lasting brands, with almost 30 shades there are plenty of colours to choose from.
  Each bottle contains 118ml of cream hair colourant. Not tested on animals.

  Longevity of hair colour varies from shade to shade with pale colours lasting around 4 weeks on light blonde bleached hair and deeper colours like Blue Velvet, Deep Purple and Atomic Pink lasting several months for some!

• Usage Instructions & Tips +/-

  For best results, particularly with lighter shades, apply to hair that has been pre-lightened to pale blond. Apply to freshly washed (not conditioned), dry or damp hair. Apply using latex gloves. We recommend using a tinting brush to ensure even coverage. Work the dye into the hair for a few minutes and leave for at least 15 minutes (you may leave this dye on for longer as long as you cover your hair with plastic wrap or a shower cap to prevent it drying out). Rinse with warm water until the water runs clear.

  For longer lasting colour, use a shampoo and conditioner for coloured hair.

• Ingredients & Precautions +/-

  Ingredients

  H20 to one hundred, Cetearyl alcohol, Ceteareth-20, Benzyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Cetyl Alcohol, Cetrimonium Chloride, Citric Acid, Mixes of dyes, Diazolidinly Urea, Methlparaben, propylparaben.

  Precautions

  Although these dyes do not contain the harsh chemicals of other dyes such as ammonia and peroxide, there is still a small chance that they could cause an allergic reaction. For this reason it is imperative that you do a strand and sensitivity test before using them. An ingredients list is available above and can also be found on the product’s packaging (ingredients list can sometimes be found under our sticker). NEVER use any of these products on eyelashes or eyebrows.

  As you would expect from a dye these colours can stain textiles, ceramic, wood and other surfaces as well as temporarily stain skin and nails so be careful to cover surfaces and wear gloves when applying the colour. Once used these products may also rub off your hair and skin and onto clothing and bedding. Although this usually disappears after washing it’s worth bearing this in mind. Staining to bathtubs, basins and showers can easily be cleaned using a bleach based cleaning product.

  Do not mix with peroxide.

  Colours may cause permanent staining to bleached or chemically treated hair. Tip: You can avoid staining on your skin by applying a layer of vaseline anywhere on your skin where dye may come in contact.

    I had about 2" dark brown roots, the rest of my hair was Punky Colour "Turquoise". Being as they stopped selling that dye at the only place I knew to get it at, I needed to go to a new brand fast. So I bought SFX "fishbowl" and got to work with a friend of mine. She bleached my roots to a golden blonde, then I rebleached some of the roots that were darker than the others, and some brown parts that she might've missed. I applied the dye, the smell is alright, and it has a thick texture, which made it easy to apply. I walked around all day with a bag on my head to let it "cook" in, then rinsed it out in cold water then added a deep conditioner with some of the leftover dye in it. The parts of my hair that were already blue came out a beautiful turqouise, the twice-bleached roots came out an awesome color too, but the other roots that were golden came out a light sea green :[ But overall I'd say this is a great dye to use and I recommend it, just make sure your hair is bleached a light enough color to make it come out it's true color :]

    I used this on a strip of bleached hair in the back of my head and it turned out beautifully. It's lasted a good long while as well, much better than the purple dye I used from a different company.

    Make sure your hair is either naturally really light or bleached when using this dye. i love the color after bleaching it but not using toner.The yellow after color of bleached hair makes this dye have different variants of turqoise all the way to lime green sometimes. It fades differently each time you dye it, depending on the condition of your hair and how often you wash it. Overall a very good dye and a beautiful shade of turquoise/teal.

    It fades to a weird minty color, and like all blues doesn't have a very long lifespan, but it's absolutely gorgeous. I dyed bleached chunks in black hair, and the contrast is beautiful. The first SFX color I've used consistently until my bottle ran out! I need to go buy some more.

    I love this color. It's a beautifully vibrant blue/green! It didn't last nearly long enough for me though. I had to redye it after a week.

    I think this is a really neat color. You can make several different hues depending on how platinum your hair is before putting it in. I like it over near-white hair, it makes a sort of azure color. Fades quicker than some SFX do. Bleached out with little trouble.

    I loooove this color. It turns out almost exactly like the swatch and looks awesome on bleached hair. The only drawback is that it does fade quickly. Mixing it with other colors gives it greater depth and longevity, so it can be pretty versatile regardless. It fades to a lighter and lighter blue without getting ashy or grey. Definitely a color to try!

    I loved the different variations in color that this dye gives. It lasted pretty long for a blue dye, which impressed me a lot.
