I hear their pink is like notorious for this. I always tell people when I recommend it so they're aware. Purple took about 2 months for me, and faded real nice. The green didn't last too long for me. Im not sure about the others. I always wonder why it's the pink that does it.

If it fades even a little from highlighter pink I’ll be ecstatic, I love the baby pink it usually fades into more than the brighter pink I always start with. This colour has no chill and I somehow found the only none neon picture to go off when picking this shade. I’ve been considering purple for the second half so I’ll keep that in mind ty!

I love iroiro, but you better want to be pink forever! I had bleach my length three times over months to get it out. And even then I swear I can still see some slight pink when my hair is wet. Bleach baths did next to nothing. This dye is almost permanent. I’ve had better luck lifting blue-black box dye that that iroiro pink.


Altruistic-Bobcat955

That’s actually shocking! So colourb4 does nothing I take it? Have you tried the other colours? I’m really intrigued by the sound of their purple and blues but I’ve been craving a bright aqua instead of my usual teal. I’ve never had a bleach bath, honestly idek what one is. I get my roots bleached at the salon every couple months, that’s the entirety of my experience. I’ve been pink going on 2/3 years and I’m not bored yet, it usually goes well with my skintone and I get to have fun with the bottom half.

Nothing. I’ve been dyeing my hair vivid colors for 15 years and never had this happen where I couldn’t easily fade it with color remover or shampoo or a bleach bath. Bleach baths are just a milder form of bleaching where you use shampoo to water it down so it’s not as damaging to your hair. Usually that will almost completely remove direct dyes if I’m desperate. But it was like I did nothing. It got slightly less intense, I still looked like a highlighter! I dyed my roommate’s hair with iroiro 6 months ago. He takes super hot showers, he’s still pink af. Fortunately that’s the color he wants, so it’s a great brand for that. I haven’t tried the other shades because their pink scared me! I’ve heard they are easier to remove. If you want to change more often go for manic panic (their regular line), or Arctic Fox is more middle ground and lasts a bit better, still easy to remove though.

Oh damn I gotta get me some of that! I use Lunar tides and it’s the perfect colour but it fades so quickly! And highlighter pink is exactly what I want


Altruistic-Bobcat955

I really really loved the teal and pink Lunar Tides except for that too. If it helps it isn’t running, when wet and my pillows aren’t pink. I only use white bedding cus my benzoyl peroxide face cream bleaches anything else so my hair dye absolutely can’t run!


Mysterious_Squash867

Haha I use highlighter pink bedding so running doesn’t matter to me!


Altruistic-Bobcat955

Okay your colour scheme sounds fun. I miss my brightly coloured house, had to tone it *waaaay* down when moving in with partner. Damn killjoy!


Mysterious_Squash867

Hehe I’m lucky, I get complete free rein on the bedroom colours, pink bedding with black bats! I tone it down a *little* in the common areas though. That’s where I use pastel pink ❤️


Altruistic-Bobcat955

You are so lucky, bats are my favourite! We went to the zoo and my fella was bricking it in the bat enclosure while they flew over his head and I was just in heaven, so funny. Oh I got pastels bloody everywhere! That was the compromise, pastel pink in the living room for me

Pink Iro you have to commit. About a year ago I dyed half my head pink (just my bangs and half my peakaboo) and it stuck to me until I redyed it in august for school

FYI, u/Altruistic-Bobcat955, if you sign up for their mailing list, they send out 40% off coupons several times a year. I've gotten those discount emails for July 4 in the States, for Halloween, Valentine's Day, and sometimes just because they have an itch. I don't know if the 40% would apply to pre-shipping purchases that will go to the UK, but you could certainly try. I'm an iroiro fangirl. It's all I use, and I have deep stock in five colors. The colors also mix really well. So you could definitely experiment to get just the right shade of pink.... Glad you enjoyed the stuff.


Altruistic-Bobcat955

Thank you that’s really helpful! The shipping to the U.K. is £40 and £16 for 8oz which surprised me but on Amazon US it’s worked out as £48 for 3 8oz bottles including delivery from “iroirocolours” so I’m trying there next. I’m genuinely praying they start supplying in the U.K, after I started using Lunar Tides they did so fingers crossed! My ideal colour would be the bubblegum pink I think, it looks like my usual shade. I was just dumb and assumed the stronger pink would fade after a couple washes like they usually do.


QuicheLaPoodle

Good luck.

Pink Iroiro is carpet dye. It's the devil. The only way to get it out is to counteract it. You may think, oh good, it's a color that doesn't fade. But few people want to stay pink forever; something will always come up, like wanting to change up a color, or work/school says No.


Altruistic-Bobcat955

Yeah it was a comment exactly like yours that made me buy it in the first place. Fingers crossed pink bubblegum is also like carpet dye cus that’s actually the right colour


Ok-Computer-7001

So I came here because you referred to your post recently in reply to somebody else. Wow, that sure is hella pink. Is the blue Iroiro too? I would love for my hair colour to stay foreverish.


Altruistic-Bobcat955

It’s sooo pink yeah.. still not faded in the slightest 3 weeks on. The teal blue below is La Riche Directions in turquoise & that lasts around 4 months on me until it begins fading to a green. I’ve just had the IroIro aqua delivered to try over the old teal when it’s faded in the hopes it stays like the pink!
