Review: My problem with the color is simple: every time people saw my hair they said 'ooh, orange'...and I really wasn't going for that. I have no problem with that color, but I wanted RED. The upside of this is that NR is easily bleached out. -Emailed Review- |

Review: This is the brightest red ive ever used! This definately turns heads and gets alot of comments, and lasts for ages (it was a pain to get out!). It starts off a fire engine red on yellow bleached hair and fades out to an orange red then to a peach if you leave it too long. If you want a nice uniform colour from this one i reccomend you get an even colour whilst bleaching your hair- its so bright it shows every variation in your hair colour and fades out unevenly otherwise. -Brooke- |

Review: Looks amazing and luminous when its first dyed and holds its colour quite well but fades and looks orange after a bit. -Ane- |

Review: I dyed my hair this color from a stark white. It was a beautifully bright red for about 3 days until it faded to a (still bright) but unwanted red-orange (peach) color. I know this is because my hair was white rather than a pale blonde, but it was a big let-down for me and I'm still searching for that perfect red.... -Angel- |

Review: I originally bought this dye for my boyfriend but he then got a job that required 'conventional' hair colours whereas my job allowed my neon hair so i jumped at the chance to use this gorgeous red, it looked so good on him and it look brilliant on me too, i dyed it over slightly faded atomic pink and newly bleached roots and it came up a treat, i even got a few little streaks of pink showing through as it fades. It's gorgeously bright although it does bleed a lot in the shower, everyone at work comments on it and i've been told i brighten up the reception! -Elisabeth- |

Review: I was really disappointed with this! It had washed completely out of my hair within 7 days, and i mean completely! Was expecting so much more... -Donna- |

Review: This has a fantastic colour when first put on really shines in the light aswell but I am finding that the colour doesn't last as long on my hair as the Manic Panic did! Afraid I am moving back to my tried and trusted M.P. -Rosalind- |

Review: I recently dyed my hair blonde and black and got bored very quickly, so i decided to dye the blonde bits Nuclear Red. OMG you cant miss me! perfect colour! everyone comments on it. but once again my shampoo is a little too harsh and it has faded it quite quick... but thats the shampoo not the dye. -Marie- |

Review: Amazing! I bleached my hair before I used it so it was rather blond. I have darkish brown hair normally got a poweder bleach and a 12% peroxide cream, you can get this from boots or anywhere. Left that on for just over an hour. Then left this colour on for about 1 hour though it said 20min on the bottle its didnt do any damage to my hair (the bleach did that! ^_^) and its turned out amazing, exactly the colour shown in the picture! -Jonathan-
NOTE FROM BEEUNIQUE: You can also buy bleach kits from our shop. Many people also leave Special Effects Dyes on hair for hours to get a more vibrant dye result - these will condition the hair rather than harm it. |

Review: From the day I dyed my hair nuclear red all over, not a day goes by when I don't get a lot of attention from it! I get several (positive) comments a day and lots of stares from all kinds of people! I've had a couple of family reunions since and I've walked into a room full of strange looks (hehe). I really get noticed everywhere I go - so I have to agree with other users who say that this colour is not for the shy (unless they want to come out of their shell)!
I only wish that nuclear red did not fade so quickly for me (i don't know what other people are doing to make it last longer!). i find it only really lasts about 3 weeks and does fade quite quickly over that time. i wash my hair twice a week and try not to overuse the water - although I have also been using heat on it, which doesn't help (hey, everyone's looking at my hair now, it needs to look good!).
The first time I used it I left it on overnight, and it was unbelievably bright! I also pre-lightened my hair first of course to get a brighter tone. warning - it does get everywhere but i have found it is easy to wash out of towels, etc, so don't panic. -Claire-
NOTE FROM BEEUNIQUE - Avoid anti-dandruff type shampoos and also try to use tepid rather than hot water and rinse with cold water. These should help colour last longer. |

Review: I have used this product 3 times, once over my natural dark brown, once over bleached, and once over itself (a redye). Even when I didnt bleach my hair first, it came out suprisingly vibrant. However, when i DID bleach it first, it became the brightest thing i had ever seen! thankfully, that was what i was going for. I receive compliments every day, and defintely attract lots of attention- this is not for the camera shy! its gotten a bit grown out now, seeing as ive had it this color for over 3 months, but it looks fantastic and i would never dream of using any other companies dye. -Kayleigh- |
