Hide Homage & Directions Flamingo Pink Dye Review :3

So.. I thought I would do a little of Hide cosplay in homage to his birthday a while ago! (^ω^)
This is the dye I used for his shade of Pink (Flamingo Pink, by Directions)
It looks pretty dark but the colour is very striking! It washes out a very vibrant shade.
Obviously, if you have a lot of hair one pot won't suffice, lol.
I don't have much hair cause my hair is pretty short & not so thick.
Here is a picture of when i first dyed it & through the first wash:
hehe~! I was very pleased with the result. (≧∇≦)
It wasn't very messy at all. But do wear gloves unless you like looking like you love playing with beet root.. Hahaha. (・△・)
 Directions is such a easy way to dye your hair a striking colour without a lot of efforts.
Colour: 5/5 I would say it definately went a bright magenta shade!
Coverage4/5 The ends of my hair didnt take well & went lighter. Not sure why..
Mess: 2/5 I didn't use gloves so my hands got very pink..though it washed off fast. I guess it isn't very smart not using gloves with pink hairdye anyway? Haha!!
Price: 5/5 It was only £4 when I purchased it here. Very worth the price! :D
Health: 5/5 Well i dont think it causes damage as its a gel-type formula, which i think isn't made from harsh ingredients. My hair actually ended up more silkier after!
Durability: 3/5 My hair has washed out a lighter pink now, refer to this Christmassy photo! ;)
!!!!~~~MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY~~~!!!!

Hope you all enjoy your holidays!!

It only washed out so fast as i got bored of it and washed my hair amany times (・Д・)ノ
But I would say it stays striking for a good week or two & I didn't use much of the dye at all! I still have most of it left :)

Overall: if you want a striking pink for a short time  i would highly recommend this colour! ^_^
But if you want a longer lasting colour, maybe try a striking red shade from their range, or i heard Crazy Colour is good.
It would be very easy to use for chunks or streaks. Much better colour than Stargazer products I would have to say.

Well.. until next time kiddies ;DD
