HAIR COLOUR
When looking for hair dye, it's good to be able to get bright colours that are bright enough. Bright green, brilliant orange, electric blue, scary purple, that shade of fluorescent pink that jars the sensors in the eye, etc. Having vivid hair colour is symbolic of individualism.

Jerome Russell (Bookmark this page here at Zyra's site BEFORE linking here as it breaks the backlink on some browsers). Lisa adds: "I found permanent PURPLE hair dye - it is made by Jerome Russell (punky). You can purchase it from Bwild.com - they are in New York USA. I would imagine that Jerome Russell UK also has it". However, Turtle writes "I checked this out and they only have semi permanent purple,they have black, burgundy, copper and red, but the purple is semi permanent".

Goldwell Lumiere - I have heard that this is closer to Permanent than most.
Colour Rays by L'Oreal - reports suggest it lasts for 2 months or so, fades nicely, and is available in pink and possibly also purple.

Tish and Snooky's Manic Panic of New York
Blue Jean? or Jeans? News on this, as it's likely to be JEAN'S Hair Dye which is a product of Alfa Parf. See www.AlfaParf.hu ... but there is another entirely distinct product which is described as "in a tin (the tin is silver and blue) and has a picture all over the tin with of a pair of Jeans and says “Blue Jeans” You can actually see a pocket of a pair of jeans on the tin". Another comment is that it is likely to be Blue Jeans by Versace Perfume. More info on this will be welcome!

Still trying to find URLs for some of these, and also trying to find more REALLY VIVID COLOURS! - It appears that during the Punk Era it was possible to get fiercer colours than it is currently (2001/04). Or maybe it just seems that way. But then again, perhaps you know different! You can e-mail me.

One of
the most frequent questions to be asked at this page is "Where
can I get really bright colours (green, pink, blue, orange,
purple, etc) that are REALLY PERMANENT?". The problem is
that although it's possible to get really good hair colours, it's
been an ongoing quest to find any that don't wash out. There is a
definite demand for such products, and I urge chemical companies
to look into the practicality of the technology!
Anyone can have a vivid unnatural hair colour if they wish and if they dare, regardless of whatever ordinary colour their hair was, but let's not forget that some people are fortunate in having quite a good hair colour to start with. An interesting NATURAL hair colour? Yes, they are lucky in being GINGER
