LauraC, it's not in afflecks itself it's just accross the road, if you stand with your back to the window of Cyberdog you'll see it!

No worries, post pictures when you've dyed it please, we're all very interested in how it looks

Actually, the colour chart on ikickshins makes it look *much* redder than on the Creative Image site. Looks like swatches may be a bit hit-and-miss, so I think I'm going to go with Sienna Brown instead (which is easier to get in the UK). Will definitely post pictures once I've done it (I need to update my avatar!

).

Very true, I've been caught out by colour swatches before, I think it is a computer monitor thing, would be far more helpful if they were all the same!

I get the feeling some of the shops are photographing the physical fake hair swatches from the displays themselves, which is why even on the same computer swatches from different websites look totally different. I think I was quite lucky that the Medium Brown came out so close to the colour on the Creative Image site!

I've found one website that delivers to UK but postage is like £6, i'm gonna keep trying though! Unfortunately ebay dont do the brown i want

What colour are you looking for? I've been using these guys [link-removed] - sorry links to this website are not allowed but they seem to have a fairly random selection of colours.

This is the website I found it on:

Delivery charges with standard royal mail is between £2 and £5 depending on the weight.

KittyLost · « **Reply #58 on:** 01 Apr 12 / 08:10 PM »

Just gonna try the medium brown

i got really excited at the free delivery prospect but then you have to spend £100

thanks for that.

tonightwefly · « **Reply #59 on:** 01 Apr 12 / 08:13 PM »

Wait, is delivery not free? I thought it was. This is why I need to pay more attention when I'm internet-shopping, good grief. Sorry about that.

Thread bump!
Buying my dye tomorrow, do you reckon I'd get a nice colour mixing cinammon and paprika together?

LauraC · « **Reply #61 on:** 23 Apr 12 / 10:20 AM »

yes Martha, do it!! They're really nice colours, maybe do the 'ol strand test first before mixing and putting it all over your hair lol.

Where you getting your dye from? Next time I'm near Afflecks I'm going to check out that place Lauralei suggested.

marthamagic; · « **Reply #62 on:** 23 Apr 12 / 03:46 PM »

I might just do the cinammon first, not sure yet, didn't buy my dye today as it's raining... again and I couldn't be bothered going to Manchester just for dye in the rain.

And I'm going to get it from Julia Knows on Oldham Street, I've been in there before but never knew they sold it until I nipped in the other day, they also do loads of afro hair stuff there dead cheap and they sell tigi, I'd buy some but they're all full of cones and sulphates

Sack it, I want my bright hair back, I'm mixing crimson and cinnamon, unless anyone else has any good ideas for a nice reddish orangy colour

LauraC · « **Reply #63 on:** 23 Apr 12 / 09:28 PM »

I'm the same, can't be bothered going in Manchester just to buy hair dye, always wait til I have a few things I need to get. Will check out the place you mentioned, might find some nice hair treats, but I'm also on a mission to try and remove cones/sulphates from my hair routine.

Can't wait to see the new colour once you've decided on what to go for :p

ms_rivet · « **Reply #64 on:** 23 Apr 12 / 09:29 PM »

I've been using the Adore Blue Black mixed with SFX Blue Velvet to make it go further, it's quite runny but the mix still seems to last nearly as long as pure Blue Velvet and certainly longer than when I tried Directions mixed with SFX. I also get it from Julia Knows in Sheffield.

marthamagic; · « **Reply #65 on:** 23 Apr 12 / 09:31 PM »

I don't even know what colour I'm going yet I just know it'll be red/ginger, and I'm not even gunna bother deciding on something cuz as soon as I go in the shop I'll change my mind!

Bought my dye! Got 2 bottles of cinammon, will go more red next time I dye

Got this sat on my head now, it's the runniest dye ever, there is no way I can sleep in it.
Going to have to rinse it off after about 3 hours, it's dripping down my face D:
Although it doesn't stain the skin which is good

I finally got myself down to Manchester and bought a bottle. Got it from Julia's opposite the arcade entrance to Afflecks. I bought the Adore plus though, as they had a shade called brown/black and I wanted a very dark brown dye.

Found a decent review on youtube from someone who used the Wile Cherry:

Hey all! This is me! I was just googling if any one had had success in removing it! The reds in this brand are my new favorite red dyes as there is a good range of reds and they fade nicely! A red fade rather than pink or orange. The last one I used was a darker colour- Intense red (its not true to swatch rather a deep blood red) and it bleeds ALOT red bath all the time.
However I attempted to bleach my fringe out today, and nothing! It sticks hard!

I'll answer any questions with pleasure.

do you buy them in uk?if so where? xx

Mindbear · « **Reply #69 on:** 13 May 12 / 11:30 PM »

I love Adore in Pink Rose, and my friend uses the Orange Blaze and loves it. It's very gel like, so you need tons of it, but it soaks right in and sticks well!

Nickki · « **Reply #70 on:** 15 May 12 / 08:25 PM »

OK, I should be able to add this range very soon - just wanted to get the SFX back orders all sorted first. Are there any specific shades you like as it's a massive range and I don't want to stock all colours until I gauge how popular it is. I will mainly get some of the neon shades in first, just waiting on confirmation about no animal testing / vegan friendly etc and then it should be good to go

StephanieFlowers · « **Reply #71 on:** 15 May 12 / 08:34 PM »

That's awesome Nickki! I reckon if possible you should eventually stock a darker red colour for those who might be looking for a work safe colour.

NaomiMetalface · « **Reply #72 on:** 15 May 12 / 08:42 PM »

Aquamarine and Pink Rose!

Daftscrawl · « **Reply #73 on:** 15 May 12 / 09:43 PM »
