I absolutely love this hair dye. I love vibrant colors and This dye completely covers my hair and blends perfectly with my natural brown / black color hair. I also have extremely sensitive skin. A lot of the hair dyes on the market irritate my scalp and are very harsh on my scalp. This one is so gentle it doesn't bother me at all. I definitely recommend this to anyone! Beautiful shade 6.42 dates brown!

Wow i would love to try this color out i love dyeing my hair colorful even though its very dead but i would like to try this out some time.
Q: I’m not happy with the turn out. Don’t get me wrong, the product is great, I just don’t like the color. I’ve tried several ways to fade the color. Will it take if I dye my hair a lighter color? It’s been almost three weeks

Q: Is this a deep cheery red or red? Or burgundy? Am not sure because all it says is where there is smoke.
KKhi6 years ago

A: Hi there KKhi! The Color Sensation 6.60 - Where There's Smoke is an Intense Fiery Red, about as dark as a light brown range. This color works best on natural hair that's between a dark blonde and medium brown.

Q: How long does it last? I wanted a semi permanent dye but it says permanent on the box. However, some people say it washes out after a few weeks.
makaylanewton6 years ago
1 AnswerAnswer this Question
A: Hi there Makayla! The Color Sensation shade 6.60 - Where There's Smoke is a permanent color. While all haircolors will fade a bit over time, permanent colors should not wash out. It would be very unusual for a permanent color to wash out, however, when it does, the reason is most likely over processed hair that is no longer able to hold on to color for very long. Permanent color applied as directed, to healthy hair, should definitely not wash out
