3-in-1 Color Depositing Conditioner & Cleanser, Diamondnista, 8.5 oz

UPDATE: I’ve now tried the green, blue-green, blue, purple, red, blonde, lavender and pink. I will tell more about those at the bottom of this review. I don't care what other hair dying products you have in those tabs behind this one, they're not as good as this one. I don't care if they're cheaper or promise to last longer. THIS one is the one you've been looking for. I have used permanent hair dye, semi-permanent hair dye, and color depositing shampoo. This one, the Punky Color 3-in-1 beats them all. Yes, I know I sound like a commercial but I'm serious. Let me 'splain... I've been alive a very long time. I always said I didn't care what color my hair turned as long as it didn't turn loose. But after waking up for the millionth time and seeing Benjamin Franklin staring back at me from the mirror I decided I'd had enough of "going gray". Now, I had no interest in dying my hair back to its original color. I'd lived with that for decades and, really, what's the point? I decided I needed a bold color, something shocking. I couldn't go red because my sister is a natural redhead and the last thing you want is your sibling pestering you with: "why are you copying me? why are you copying me? why are you copying me?" over and over...no matter HOW old you get. So, I decided on blue. I started with a regular blue hair dye. It took half an hour and stank like rotten meat. The smell lingered inside my sinuses for three days afterward. The color was okay but going through all that and watching it fade in less than a month was very disappointing. So I dyed it again. This time with an ammonia-free dye. This one looked okay and smelled much better, but it faded even faster. This was becoming exhausting. So I bought a color-depositing shampoo...sadly, not the Punky one. The shampoo was a complete mess. It took almost as long as the actual hair dye and stained everything it touched blue except the hair! It was gone in less than a week. In my desperation, I turned to the Punky Color 3-in-1 and I WISH I had done it sooner. Firstly, this is important...Punky will stain everything - including your skin and your clothes so make sure you wear gloves when you apply it and be diligent about wiping it off your skin as you do it. This is best NOT done while you're in the bath, so apply the shampoo before you get in and make sure you get it on all the hair as well as you can. Then let it sit. You can do it in about 5 minutes if you're very blonde, but if you're gray or dark haired then you want to leave it in longer. It says on the bottle that 10 minutes will leave a better color. And the best part is that it smells like bubblegum! Once you've left it in the correct amount of time, THEN get into the shower and rinse your hair or however you want to work that out for yourself. Rinse thoroughly until all the leftover color comes out. There is a LOT of excess color. But once it is done it has the brightest and shiniest color of any of the methods I've tried. And this is the part that Punky really gets wrong...they position this as something for a younger crowd but they should really market it for older people who want to get rid of their gray! The gray turns almost metallic with the shine and shimmer it gets from this product! It is beautiful! I wanted to add this too. The instructions won't tell you this but I think someone should. When you dye your hair for the first time and you get out of the shower you'll have one of two reactions. You'll either think: "gee, that doesn't look too bad I wish I'd done this sooner..." or "Oh, no! What have I done!". If its the former then welcome to Punky Color! If its the latter, don't panic. After the first day, when you do the dye and its fresh, it will look very intense. Give yourself 24 hours and then wash again. After that, it should even out and calm down and you'll see that it actually is wonderful having these fun colors. You had the courage to try it and that is the part that matters! It is okay to be unique. Celebrate yourself! GREEN: Not the poison apple green you want, more a bluish version of green, but still really vibrant. BLUE-GREEN: My favourite of all the colors! This is the Mermaid-esque color you want. I think they should rename it from “Tealistic” to “Viridienchanted”! If you know, you know. BLUE: Very dark but fades fast. Make sure you leave it in long enough or it will highlight your grays to almost white instead of actually dying them. PURPLE: Very dark, fades fast, but the fading is particularly beautiful, my hair looked like an autumn sunset. RED: I call it “red” because that’s how they’re selling it, and it goes in like cinnamon! But… After you rinse it settles into an almost burgundy color. This is NOT the candy apple, fire engine, stop sign, beef bouillon cube, Christmas morning wrapping paper red that you’re hoping for. Try their new line of Cotton Candy Foam colors for that. I think it’s called “Sugar Cloud”. Sounds delicious! BLONDE: Okay, this is only going to be for people with REALLY light hair. If your hair is darker it won't show up at all. If you're trying to highlight your grays so they're gold instead of silver...people won't be able to tell the difference. You can convince yourself that you see gold in them thar frills but everyone else is going to think its gray. I was really hoping for something more intensely blonde. LAVENDER: Like the blonde, if you don't have VERY light hair this isn't going to do anything but leave the merest hint of color in your hair. When I rinsed, the color was so pale you couldn't even see it in the water! There was a stronger concentration of color at the edges of my hair but most of it was so faint you wouldn't notice it. My suggestion is, if you want lavender then use the purple and just don't leave it in as long. PINK: I had such high hopes for this one but it really doesn't hit "pink" so much as it hits maroon. It is only a shade pinker and redder than the purple. If you're as blonde as Marilyn Monroe you might get this to be pink, but if you're anything darker than that, you're going to be marooned.

I absolutely love this now, but I admit when I first started using it, there were a couple of hiccups. The first time I bought this, I was looking for a more affordable alternative to Overtone (fabulous product, but it’s so expensive). For reference, my hair is naturally light brown, and I had been coloring it dark purple for years, solely with Overtone Extreme Purple. I never pre lighten, so that, coupled with mixing products could have played a role in my color woes that I’m about to describe. I first used the Punky Colour 3-in-1 in the shade Purpledacious alone for several consecutive washes, to see if it could maintain my color. While it made my hair look and feel amazingly soft and silky, and I noticed that my hair didn’t really fade at all, it went from a blue-toned blackish purple to being more red-toned; like a dark burgundy. I stopped using it. After some experimenting, I started making my own homemade color depositing conditioner. That concoction gave me back my color, but the conditioner I use in it isn’t the most hydrating (however it works beautifully with the color I add to it, so as side note, I highly recommend using a conditioner without any silicones if you’re going to make your own “Overtone”). I missed how my hair felt after I used this stuff, so I tried alternating between one wash with my homemade product, and one wash with the Punky Colour 3-in-1. That was the magic trick for me! I’m now able to maintain my color and still have soft, glossy hair. If you’re happy with the color this gives you, none of that would obviously be an issue, but I wanted to share that you may need to account for the undertones of any color you’re already using if you use this in conjunction with something else. I love that this doesn’t stain my tub, but of course it (temporarily) stains skin, so I just wear disposable gloves when applying and rinsing it. It doesn’t lather much, so I see it as more of a cleansing conditioner than an actual shampoo. I noticed when I used it by itself for a couple of weeks, that my hair started feeling a bit weighed down, so for that reason, I now typically use a gentle shampoo first, and then use this. It makes a huge difference. And it has great slip, so I don’t need to use a ton to work it through all my hair. The price is fair for how long it lasts me. I can honestly say that this product allows me to maintain my perfect color and have healthy looking and feeling hair. I will definitely keep repurchasing. I’m currently on my third bottle!

I absolutely LOVE this product! My hair is dark brown, and I recently dyed blue, and I was unsure what to expect. I was told to use a blue pigment shampoo (I didn't know they existed before getting my hair dyed blue). WOW! This shampoo & conditioner combo really works! I leave it in my hair for about an hour, and I can really tell the difference after using it! The Dark blue shade looks so good!!! But DEFINITELY use gloves while putting the shampoo on your hair! And be careful of where you put it on and rinse it out. The blue color GETS EVERYWHERE! My sink has lovely shades of blue right now, that I am unsure how to get out. I don't mind it, but others purchasing this might. The color also stains on your hands. Be careful when drying your hair too. The color will STILL stain your hands if you run your hair through your hair while drying it. I just started using a brush while drying my hair, and it solved the problem. My hair is also super soft after using it! It does get a little frizzier than when I use my normal shampoo, but that only last a few hours and then it calms down. Overall, I am definitely purchasing more of this shampoo!

This is definitely a very strongly pigmented shampoo. Like many have said, treat it like a semi permanent dye when applying it. I used "redilicious" and I have mixed feelings about the red color. It definitely deposited pigment effectively, but I feel the red color is somewhat "candy" it has a slightly pinkish tone to it similar to a cinnamon hard candy that I don't love. I had a very nice blood-red color going and I feel like this made my hair look like it was dyed with a cheaper dye. It has a strong bubblegum scent and made my hair very soft, so those were some positives. This is useful to extend the overall life of your hair dye but I'm not entirely sure that I would purchase this product again.

I love Punky Color as a company and have used them for many years. So I decided to try the shampoo instead of doing their semi-permanent color every 5 weeks. This stuff is awesome! I have brown hair that is turning gray, especially in the front, and I put little bits of the shampoo in my gray spots about 5 minutes before I get in the shower (don't forget to wear a glove). Then I wet my hair and shampoo as normal. I do not use this as a regular shampoo; I use it more like a hair dye before I get in the shower. The color from one use is not as dramatic as using their semi-permanent dye, but it puts color in my grays, and if I use it for 3 days in a row, I get a beautiful color of purple, and not red purple, which I hate. This is a beautiful, rich lavender, and the more days you use it, the darker it gets. The only drawback to this product is the bottle size. I wish that they either came in larger bottles or were cheaper to buy often, as I would love to use it multiple times a week but just can't afford it.

Absolutely nothing about this tonic works the way it's intended. I tried to use this supposed 3-1 in SEVERAL different ways, in the colour AuburnAmazing When I first received it, I was startled at how strong the pigment was. I was pretty apprehensive about it being too strong, but after reading the reviews, I still chose to followed the directions as written. Applied a generous amount to wet hair, worked it all in, and allowed it to sit. I chose to do 5 minutes since I was kind of scared of how strong the color deposit would be in refreshing my hair colour. After the five minutes, as I went to 'wash and rinse' this stuff did NOT have any kind of lather whatsoever. It just kind of slicked through my hair as the water ran through it. There was no kind of washing going on, and it did not condition in any sort of fashion, either. My hair was dry, and stringy, and felt sticky, even after the water rinse began running clear. Later on, when I brought my hair down and dried it, I braved the mirror and was appalled - at how NON COLOURED it was. My hair was still dull, dingy, and even more brown than auburn/coppery. It literally had made not a single difference whatsoever. The next day, I decided to be more dramatic. It was a strong pigment and perhaps, even tho it was intended to be applied to wet hair, since it didn't lather, it would take better to dry hair. So, I applied again - a generous amount - to my dry hair, this time. I allowed it to sit for 10 minutes, thinking perhaps my hair was the problem and just needed more time to absorb the pigment. Again, it didn't lather and left my hair even drier and stringier, so I used the tiniest bit of regular shampoo and some normal conditioner. When I got out the shower this second day, my hair was a touch brighter by the hairline, but other still unrefreshed, and still a duller and dingier brown, rather than brightening up my more auburn/ginger-y colour. About a week later, I decided - well, maybe my hair colour is just TOO old! Maybe it's been too long and it can't refresh what it doesn't see there. So I decided to purchase some of my regularly hair colour and do a full dye job. It was the colour I wanted, with even, and beautiful coverage, but was just a touch too dim since my hair was a little darker. It's suggested to wait two full days before washing freshly dyed hair, especially if you're using reds, so I waited three days before trying this shampoo again. Not to refresh an old colour, but to keep this new colour bright and vibrant! AND IT RUINED IT. The colour deposit shampoo finally did one job! It finally deposited colour! But, it did NOT deposit the colour it promised. Rather than being an Auburn, coppery fall colour - it coloured my hair - AND ONLY SOME OF MY HAIR, mind you! - bright, bright crayon red. Like, Spider-Man red. The red that some women have referred to as "mental breakdown" red. The kind of red I absolutely abhor and detest. And it wasn't even everywhere. It was in bits and pieces. Not at my hairline, but in streaks of my bangs. I had JUST dyed my hair with even full covereage, and have been doing it for 15 years. I am well versed in making sure I get even colour for my hair. THIS, however, deposited wherever it wanted to. The other strands it touched - couldn't be bother. It RUINED my beautiful even dye job. I have never had such a poor experience with a product, and certainly never multiple experiences. All of the reviews made me safe and secure in my purchase and I cannot believe I was burned so badly. Perhaps maybe it only works for more unnatural colours, as auburn/ginger is a very natural colour. It's the colour I grew up having, and slowly dims/browns oevr the years so I've been upkeeping it with dye since high school, so maybe my expectations or needs were unrealistic, despite my successes with normal dye over the years. Perhaps I just got a poor bottle, tho nothing indicates as such. It smelled fine, it stains my hands and tub for short periods, so I knew the colour was there. It wasn't clumpy. I truly have no idea, but I did everything I could have possibly thought to do with it and it is by and large the worst beauty product of any kind - facial, eye makeup, hair, nails, body scrub, you name it - the WORST beauty product of any kind I have ever had the displeasure of wasting money on and regretting, in my Life. If you're aiming for more natural hair colours, don't bother yourself with this mess. Just redye your hair and use a normal Colour Protecting - NOT a colour depositing - Shampoo. Saves yourselves the heartache.

This stuff works wonders for half the price of other products. It's easy to use and has made my hair color last from April to August. It also makes my hair feel super soft after rinsing it and smells nice too. 10/10 would get again when I go purple again. It will temporarily stain your hands while using it but it fades from skin pretty easily after washing it off.

UPDATE 9/28/24: It’s been about 4 days since I colored my hair. It is STILL silky, full and shiny. I can live with the color, just darker than what I’m used to. I haven’t washed it yet so don’t know if it will come out. I guess overall I’m okay with it, however as much as I like it, I prefer the pump brand as the bottle doesn’t get dye all over it. Will prob stick with the original brand. FIRST REVIEW: There’s an old saying “learn the hard way/we learn by our mistakes”. Well I just learned the hard way. I’ve never left a review before bc I’ve never had any issues. I’ve been using another company’s Hair Shampoo, Conditioner and Depositor (3 in 1) for four years and thought I would try this one bc it had more natural products in it. Mistake. I thought if I was really careful I would be okay with the application. (I used rubber gloves for both). First, it was so thick I could barely get it out of the bottle and that was with taking the cover off and squeezing as hard as I could leaning it on the sink. It finally came out but kept sucking back into the bottle. It was a struggle to get it out. The bottle was a complete mess and slippery bc of the dye. (The other company has a pump bottle which is so much easier and comes out perfectly). My counter on my sink IS stained and I was sure to wipe it up right away. It’s still there. I wasn’t able to get it out. I let the depositor sit for 10 minutes and rinsed. It came out good/easy enough but left a lot of color on my forehead and side hairlines. Disappointing. Used makeup remover and still can’t get it out. (I made sure to do use it on a day when I didn’t have anything important coming up). Right now I’m letting it air dry. I have 2 positives. One, the bubblegum smell is amazing and two, as of right now my hair feels silky soft. Hopefully when completely dry it will continue to be soft and give it body and fullness. Not sure about the color yet ~ completely different from the purple I usually use and really don’t like it. I will come back to update after a couple of days, however I won’t be purchasing again. Sorry for the negative review. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Just love punky products! Bought this a couple of times along with the blue one for a purple-to-blue ombré effect and it looks stunning! Now trying red-to-purple ombré and it looks amazing too! Works fantastic on bleached hair and even when my roots came through (light brown) it still showed up but a darker purple. Definitely would recommend to anyone who wants fun colours and vibrant hair! Works best with bleached or light hair and I use the shampoo about twice a week (once a week would probably be fine) which reignites the colour, but wouldn’t say you need to dye it any colours before for it to work! Love this stuff!

I got my hair dyed Red from a Salon a month ago and it faded off so I bought this product just to refresh my Reds. Since I’m new to this colour and colour depositing shampoo, I bought this just because it was cheaper. This shampoo works well, thumbs up. I kept it on my wet hair for 10 mins and my Red hair looked beautiful like before BUT BUT- it smells horrible. In the bottle it smells like bubblegum and after applying on hair or mixed with water, it smells like ROTTEN GARBAGE. I’m not even exaggerating. I have sensitive nose and my nose can smell even slightest of smells. So this was too strong for me and I almost felt like throwing up. It actually made me sick for the whole day. 🤢 Next day the smell was gone. So girls, if you can bear strong smells you might try this. Not to forget , once again- the colour pay off is great. Also it stains everything - from your skin to your bathroom floor, so take precautions before using it Thanks for reading ❤️

Le gustó mucho a mi novia, y huele rico, como a bombón pero es ricoooo

Holy cow. Last night in artificial light I couldn't see what it had done see above pics. But this morning holy s### it's like a beacon, I frigging love it. Gonna get some other colours too now. I'm hooked. My hair was originally dyed with just henna powder (light mountain) this is usually a semi permanent but as my hair is very porous it is permanent for me. I was getting bored with just ginger over my natural blonde. So I figured if this didn't work, no harm done. I've not bleached my hair in the slightest for over 4 years and grew every inch of bleached hair out. So yeah I'm pretty chuffed at this result as it means I don't have to destroy my curls with bleach to achieve a bright colour anymore.

Deja el color super bien! Yo ya lo tengo decolorado y me lo deja muy bonito, lo convino con el rosa de ésta misma marca y me queda un tono purpura que me gustó.
