manic panic vs. special Fx?

Hi. The colour is Fudge but i cant remember the name. The picture is old as i dont have dreads anymore but still have the red. a suggestion for constant non fading colour is to have dreads coz you ever wash it out!! Fudge is as good as any others on my hair; faded by a week, looks crap after two. I also prefer the orange to anything even nearing pink - i hate pink.
Do you use the colour that you put the peroxide creme in? coz if you dont i would highly reccomend it for ease. I use L'Oreal excellence high colour highlights with 40%, the colour doesnt last that long but its nice and easy, then i just touch up with M.P or Jazzing or what ever i find in Sallys that week. I also use red shampoo and conditioner everyday (yes i have to wash it everyday) called Quantum Reds. i think it helps a little and its not over priced like some red shampoos can be.

oops, sorry, purple passion is raw color.

new to the tribe here but had to pop in! SFX has the best green I have ever used! I am wearing it now actually, the color is great, it last and lasts adn lasts adn when it DOES fade, it doesn't get all gnarly.

I like SFX in general over the others, I have tried Raw, Fudge, Punky, Manic Panic, and 2 other ones whose names I can't remember... SFX is my fav.

Well, Special FX is not permanent, its either semi or demi I forget. It DOES last a long time, the color fades out though. To keep it bright and vibrant, you have to redo it every so often (frequency depends on the color you pick and how anal you are about your color brightness.)

also if you're going to dye a red shade - they are the quickest to fade out, so you won't have to worry about it being too permanant...
