Review: One of the colors that got me most compliments from everybody! Begins like this beautiful, rich, deep indigo color, and slowly fades to a pretty blue-based shade of purple. I had it for two months and it never looked faded! It just looked like i had dyed my hair purple instead of blue. I strongly recommend it if you are going for a bright, rich, long lasting color! -Damaris-

Review: Wow! I had it bleached from dark reddy brown this morning in the hairdressers, and she applied the Blue Velvet. Wrapped it in cling film and a scarf, went shopping, had a sleep, and 5 hours later it is a deep navy blue indoors and very vibrant dark blue outside. Very very messy to wash off. Had a panic about the bath turning blue, but it's ok now! Looking forward to seeing how it fades. -Andamooka-

Review: I tried this color out becuase i was tired of looking at the same old purple. This color turned out amazing. Everyone loves and gives me great comments about it ALL THE TIME. ITS THE BEST COLOR THEY HAVE =] -Gina-

Review: This is my favorite color that SFX has to offer. It lasted well over a month, almost two, before it even started to fade. It took 3-4 months to start looking purple. This was over really faded Cherry Bomb, which was pink at that point. This dye didn't bleed as much as the other colors I tried and it didn't stain everything horribly either. -Ambivalent-

Review: I bought this originally to mix with green to create a shade I had in my head. It came out beautifully but I only recently realised how gorgeous this colour is on its own!! It lasts for ages and ages (unheard of for a blue!) and take several washes before it starts to go slightly purple. It also goes easily over Atomic Pink, which is fairly amazing. Overall a beautiful colour that lasts and lasts. -Blamethrower-

Review: As my hair had previously been dyed black, my hair was a bit patchy (yellow and orange) after bleaching despite this it covered it uniformly. =) Initially I was dissapointed as my hair turned out darker than the test strand - it was almost black and I had purple "highlights" running through it. After a few washes it went a nice dark blue, however. Later I put the remaining dye in a conditioning treatment and left that on after each wash I haven't noticed much fade since then. The longest layer of my hair is waist length and normal in texture so I was surprised that I only needed 3/4 of a bottle to cover the lot! -Louise-

Pros: Long lasting, No "tidemark" i.e. the roots aren't noticably different from the rest of my hair, 1 bottle goes a long way

Cons: Goes on much darker initially, Stains EVERYTHING blue - I still wake up to find my ears, face etc have gone blue (I've had a similar problem with most dyes though)

Review: On unbleached dark hair it left a dark blue sheen. I loved it. Stayed in for ages, some parts longer than others, leaving me with blue streaks for ages. -Trudy-

Review: This was such a lovely colour it even was velvety for about 4 weeks, i left the dye in for about 2 hours but it nurished my hair rather than drying it out;it also caused it not to fade for a good 4 months, it stayed a really good blue throughout ^_^ -Melanie-

Review: Hoorah! Its the first blue hair dye thats lasted longer than 2 weeks that keeps its colour! Ive ordered 2 bottles of this now and i recommend this product and definetly recommend purchasing from "bee unique itsa purple base dye and although it annoys me when people say "ey love the purple" within a few washes the purple seems to die down and the blue shows. Ive just ordered "blue hair freak" so i'll let u know how it goes. By the way i pre bleach my hair to as light as mine will go! -Kelly-

Review: There were some troubles with this order, but it was handled so well by the site that I won't make any complains. Very trust-worthy and I just shopped on the site again :) The colour was a real bargain because: 1) It stays fresh-looking one zillion times longer in my hair compared to the colours I can buy at home in Denmark (directions and stargazer) 2) My hair isn't that thick and these bottles are pretty big so I used less than 50% of the bottle to dye my entire hair. = I dyed my hair in the end of august and now at the end of October I just did my second touch-up with the very same bottle! Amazing - and cheap! The basic colour is a very dark blue (dyed on platin bleached hair) but it changes a lot - sometimes it looks black, sometimes it looks like Blue Mayhem and sometimes it looks purple (it gets more purple for every wash because it's a purple-based dye) The colour bleeds a lot – especially until it has been washed a couple of times. So take some times for showers including hair wash. Fading: It fades slowly on roots and almost doesn't fade at all on plain bleached hair (excluding split ends that tends to fade as well) - but overall less and slower fading than any other dye I've used. -Sofie-
