chaosxkitten ~ 2009-10-30 18:40:46 ~ This is just the result of wash-out. I assume it's the deep purple washing out back into the very vibrant washed-out Virgin Rose. It's just cool. Orange is next.

PinkTaco ~ 2007-08-23 18:10:00 ~ This was done right after the brown, blonde, and red highlights. I put the virgin rose all over my hair not realizing how well special effects worked and it turned out like this. Lots of highlighter purple streaks with a plum undertone. I was pretty happy with it.

jane_laura ~ 2008-08-26 08:59:52 ~ it looks a little pinker than it is...freshly dyed it has a more purlpish colour. as it fades it becomes more like 'atomic pink'

so you get two beautiful colours out of it!

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.

  Wow, this is one amazing colour. Freshly dyed it's a pink-purple hybrid that absolutely shimmers in the sun and after a few washes it is a very bright pink. It took forever to fade and faded beautifully. It is, by far, one of the best pinks I have ever done. But beware - prepare to have pink collars and pink stained towels for a little while!

  Amazing color, for about a week people kept asking me if it was pink or purple, but then it faded into this gorgeous jewel toned pink. It's lasted very well, a month later and minimal fading. I didn't have much of a staining problem, it stained the back tips of my glasses and a little bit on towels.

  This is one of the most original SFX colors, it works different on everyone's hair. It can look lighter or darker, brighter or duller, depending on whose hair you paint it on.

  I mixed this with pink and it added great tonal depth and lowlights. Has a great fluorescence that mixes well with similar SFX colors. Can't wait to try this by itself!

  Good color. I put it between Wildflower and Atomic pink in a rainbow and it blended really nicely and held its color well. No problems with it at all.

  I love this color! It doesn't say it glows under black light but it does. It's been in my hair for 3 months or so and it's still super bright in some places but as I live in Florida, the sun has faded some parts too. But it's an amazing color, and if you like atomic pink, this is a good "fading" color.
