Pravana ChromaSilk Creme Hair Color - 6.11 Dark Intense Ash Blonde

I bought Pravana because I had read about the incredible lasting power. After using this dye, I can understand the hype. My color is extremely rich and vivid. The issue I am having is that even a week later, the dye continues to bleed. Every time I shampoo, my shower gets stained blue. Every time i touch my hair, I turn blue. I have the hand of midas... except everything I touch turns blue instead of gold. Personally I am not a fan of the extra mess. I'd rather use Manic Panic which is long lasting on me without this level of mess.

As I shared in one of my other reviews of the same product this was the vivid color line Used at the beauty school went to. The colors are not always expected and from research I've done pravana has always had an issue with shipments having Mislabeled colors. I think there are other brands that are much better, but if you're in a pinch or you find that one of the colors is exactly what you're looking for then maybe give them a shot. But pulp riot is better

Pigmentation. They however are the most expensive vivids in the hair industry and offer little solution on keeping them in longer. In this photo, I have Wild Orchard Pravana Chromesilk vivids applied. This color is apart of the red dye, smallest hair molecule, so washing even once, you’ll see a lot of color run through.

Purchased via amazon and reviewed there originally but felt it necessary to share here too: I let my silver ombré dyed hair grow/fade out and it got really brassy/wheat colored through the summer. I previously purchased but didn’t use the chromasilk vivids silver direct dye color after reading TERRIBLE reviews about the new formulation and issues with color bleed/fade etc. Finally tried it today and was beyond pleasantly surprised. Probably needed two tubes instead of just one as I have long and thick hair so will do that next time. Did not use a developer (as per directions inside of box) and just directly massaged the color into dry hair with gloves on. Left in for 30 mins and then rinsed under coldest temp water. It very quickly ran clear and there was no ... MorePurchased via amazon and reviewed there originally but felt it necessary to share here too: I let my silver ombré dyed hair grow/fade out and it got really brassy/wheat colored through the summer.

It very quickly ran clear and there was no staining. Hard to tell in the pix but my hair is back to being a silver ombré up into the brassy/copper where my initial and nearly a year old bleach job meets my otherwise naturally jet black hair. It looks amazing in person and with high color dimensionality. It is SILVER! Not blue, not green! Hallelujah! The only negative so far is the smell while the color was setting—like bad men’s/teenager after shave. But mostly gone after washing out and especially after using some hair products (color and heat protectant serum+spray). Don’t know about how it will stay with future washes etc but will update if anything goes wrong/unexpected. Long review short: Try it for yourself!! (and please note this is for the silver color) Color selection is pretty big! And the versatility of the brand is great

My absolute favorite hair color for vivids. I often have vivid, unnatural colors in my hair and have tried so many different brands on the market and Pravana is by far my favorite. Pravana Vivids produce the most long lasting results and are fairly close to depositing the color you see out of the tube as long as you start with a clean base. If you want bright vibrant color, find a stylist who uses this brand and buy an appropriate shampoo and conditioner. Highly recommend

I've used this brand for vivid colors (Specially violet) for over 6 years. I apply it on top of my brown hair and it gives a beautiful tone. I have a balayage so the rest looks amazingly bright and rich. What I love the most about this specific Violet is that it fades into a silver toned purple before it completely fades. Mind you that it does stain, and the less you dilute it the longer it will stay in your hair. It hydrates your hair at the same time and smells good. If you dilute it make sure to use their Clear, DO NOT MIX WITH OTHER BRANDS. You'll thank me later.

Pravana is such an amazing line. From their permanent colors to their hair care products - I love it all! This is the line I reach for when I have a client who is super sensitive to color and harsh chemicals. It is so gentle and so nourishing. The shine that my clients hair has after a color is out of this world. And the shine last! As does the color payoff! I highly recommend this brand to fellow professionals!! Such a great color range as well.

Gorgeous colour

This was my first time using the Pravana demi / permanent line (I’ve used the Vivids many times). I wasn’t sure how ‘ashy’ it would turn out but I was pleasantly surprised. I used it as a demi permanent and the colour came out beautifully and even gave a tiny bit of grey coverage which was an added bonus.

THE BEST!!

This is the BEST hair color I have ever used!! By a long-shot!! And I've used a lot....Redken, Paul Mitchell, CHI, Matrix, Logics by Matrix, Schwarzkopf, Keratin Complex, etc. My hair grabs red horribly, and colors always faded very quickly on me. The double ashe in the Pravana is BEAUTIFUL! Of course with any double pigment, it's darker, so you have to adjust the level. However, I've been able to go lighter than with any other color and it still doesn't turn red. I'm amazed!! It's not too cool-toned even when you first put it on and it stays true. It's also sooo much better for your hair by depositing the keratin at the same time. Because it lasts sooo long, I'm able to use the "zero lift" developer (making it demi-permanent) on most of mine (except for the ... MoreThis is the BEST hair color I have ever used!!

And even with that...I'm able to go longer between colors than with any other color! I honestly can't say enough good things about it!

Wrong color in box and tube

My hairdresser used a box of Parvana on my hair. The box and tube said green, and color on box was green, but my hair turned out a dark teal. Really? Another box and tube was supposed to be turquoise but the hair on that person turned out green. What happened in the labeling process? A disgruntled employee? I don't want teal. I want bright GREEN!!!
