We also strongly suggest that excessive time in chlorinated water or well water will shorten the life of the color. When washing, a high-quality sulfate-free shampoo should be used on the scalp area, and you should just let the shampoo run through the ends while rinsing with cool water. We recommend that you wait a couple of days to wash your hair for the first time. Pulp Riot should process at room temperature for 25 to 40 minutes and then rinsed with cool water, without shampoo. No developer should be used and using a conditioner or treatment prior to application because some can create a barrier. Care should be taken to make sure the hair is fully saturated. Pulp Riot should be applied to clean dry hair. Cheaper dyes are less vibrant, the vibrant period is brief, they fade quickly, and they fade poorly (the pinks fade to a salmon color, the greens fade to a muddy color, etc.) They’re more expensive, but they’re more vibrant, they last longer, and they fade true to tone. The dyes used in Pulp Riot are the very highest quality of dyes. How long the colors stay in the vibrant period, how long they go through the fading period, and how beautiful they look during the fade are dependent on 3 things the quality of the dye, how it is applied, and aftercare.
With semi-permanent hair color, you shouldn’t be asking how long it lasts… instead, you should be asking, “How long does it fade?”Īfter application, the hair goes through a vibrant period, and then over time the hair goes through a fading period, where sometimes Pulp Riot colors can look even more beautiful.
That’s the question we get asked most often.
