Paradyes Semi Permanent Hair Color 120 g, Comrii Purple

I have "fantasy" dyed hair color that is difficult to maintain at peak brightness, so I love color-depositing conditioners and conditioning dyes like these that not only help me stay colorful, but they also nourish and strengthen my damaged strands. I had never used paradyes products before so I decided to use their Comrii Purple as one of three colors (the other two are from other brands) I used to touch up my current multi-colored look. I wanted to create a blue to magenta gradient from my roots down. My process was the same for all 3. I began with salon-bleached (to a light, level ~9 blonde) and heavily faded color-treated hair. I applied the three colors to different sections of my hair (using gloves and my fingers), worked it through the area, then let it sit with my head wrapped in a plastic bag while I soaked in a hot bath. After an hour I hopped in the shower, rinsed it out, then shampooed, conditioned, and used a moisturizing hair mask. I followed up with a leave-in conditioner spray and split end sealer out of the shower. As you can see in the photos, Comrii Purple took well to my hair and created a vibrant, jewel-toned purple. It blended well with the more red-ish "orchid" color (not paradyes) I used on the ends which also worked, while a blue shade from the same manufacturer as the "orchid" did not work very well at all on the top 1/3. The purple is definitely the brightest of the three colors I used. However, I did notice a few streaks where this dye didn't take as well. I'm sure they are where I didn't work it in as thoroughly, but I used enough product that it still should have saturated through, like it did with the "orchid" color. This one seems slightly less forgiving. However, I am overall very happy with this. I like that it was really easy to apply, is intensely pigmented (so a little goes a long way!), and smells pleasant vs. chemically. My ends and top 1/3 of my hair felt pretty dry after coloring but the middle section, where I used paradyes, was not. This certainly left my hair feeling healthier. I still have most of the jar left, so I actually think I'll skip any further attempt to dye the top blue will just reapply the purple all the way up to my roots to cover where the blue didn't take. I'd suggest to anyone looking to use this to wear gloves during application as it will stain your skin (although thankfully, it didn't burn or sting!), use a dye brush to carefully coat every strand, rinse really thoroughly to minimize the color rubbing off on your towels/clothes/bedding, and mix a little into your regular conditioner to get a quick color refresh every time you wash your hair!

Loved the Comrii Purple shade from Paradyes! The conditioner-based formula feels nourishing and gives a rich, vibrant colour on pre-lightened hair. Perfect for refreshing colour without dryness or damage.

This semi permanent hair dye provides a vibrant color even on darker hair colors. This dye comes as a cream in a jar and you simply apply it to your hair and leave it on for about 45 minutes. I applied to my daughters level 6 virgin hair in a few highlights on her head. The color that developed matched exactly with the photos in the listing. It has held through several washes, only fading slightly. Application was quite messy, you'll definitely want gloves and a brush if you're doing highlights. It has a light clean scent to it and didn't cause dryness. I love that I can cater to my daughters desire to have colored hair without salon prices with a temporary color that doesn't cause damage.

I tried this semi-permanent hair color and overall I’m pretty happy with it. The shade gives a fun pop of color and feels easy to work with. I like that it’s conditioner-based and free of ammonia and harsh chemicals, so it doesn’t feel overly drying while you’re applying it and it's pretty low stakes. That said, as to be expected with a conditioner-based color, it definitely fades faster than a permanent dye. The scent is pleasant, though not overpowering, and it doesn’t leave your hair feeling crunchy or stiff afterwards. As with any dye, I’d recommend doing a strand test first to make sure you’re happy with how the color shows up on your hair. I have very dark hair, so it shows up as more of a tint in the sunlight, which is what I was going for. It’s a fun way to experiment with a bold look without a long-term commitment, and I’m glad I gave it a try.

I used this as a color refresh rather than a full dye and it worked well for that. The formula feels like a thick conditioner and spreads easily through damp hair. It didn’t drip or make a mess, and rinsing it out was simple, though it stains the skin readily and easily. The purple shows up as a rather bold and saturated color, which is what I wanted. It made my existing color look fresher without having to pay the salon for a full color. My hair felt soft afterward and not dried out. The color faded gradually over many, many washes and didn’t leave weird tones behind. It’s been useful for maintaining color between dye jobs instead of redoing everything.
