WARNING!!!! This Color is Impossible to Remove!!! Use with caution!!!
Summary: I loved the color, it's vibrant and fades to a rose pink on my ombre'd hair. However, I want to remove it now (after sporting the color for a year) and it won't come out!! Most google searches imply I'm screwed unless I bleach, cut, or color over it. This is a warning to all other potential buyers of Atomic Pink.<br /><br />Intro: The reviews for this product and the photos are spectacular. I had tried a Manic Panic pink and it was an awful super blue pink with zero warmth/red. Upon seeing a lovely photo of a girl with rose gold hair when she added it to her brownish blonde hair, I wanted that on my ombre.<br /><br />Pros:<br />-I mixed it to my desired shade with conditioner and it turned out amazing. I kept retouching the color since I expected this to be similar to Manic Panic. Manic Panic color would die with one wash; but this....this was so vibrant even after washing! It was amazing and I got more compliments when I went stronger on the color vs conditioner ratio.<br /><br />Cons:<br />-Now, after a year, I've grown tired of pink and I want to go back to a natural color but the looooord baby jesus cannot exorcise this pink outta mah har. I've washed it with Suave clarifying shampoo/Head and Shoulders plus baking soda, left the mixture in for hours before rinsing, and there's still strands of pink remaining. There's a good portion that has been removed with this method, but about a third of the hue just won't die.<br />-Oh and my shower? It has permanent pink spots here and there. I moved to my bathtub in hopes that the bathtub would be easier to clean. Well it's not. Everything is pink now. Everything. I guess this is my life now.
