Creative Images Systems Adore Semi-Permanent Haircolor, [113] African Violet 4 oz

Note about the photo: my hair has a lot of different colors mixed in, but the middle bit above my forehead is mostly African violet so you can see how bluish it is. Also note that I mixed the dye in with conditioner and my hair is pre-lightened with some highlights. I've used a lot of different semi-permanent brands (manic panic, Arctic fox, punky color, etc., and even overtone) and it's hard for me to say which one is the "best" because they're all quite similar, but none of them can beat this price. I was skeptical at first, but it seems to work very nicely and it hasn't been fading any faster than I'm used to. The color is very much on the bluish side, but that's fine, and I can always mix in a little bit of pink if I want to warm it up. Next time I will probably try one of their other purple shades if I can find it at this price, but this would be a particularly good color for someone starting with warmer hair that they need to cancel out.
