Attitude Hair Dye Review

I won a tub of Attitude Holland’s new hair dye brand Dye With Attitude in August. I asked my husband to help me pick a colour and we chose Dramatic. I decided to do an honest review of this dye, for those interested in trying it out 🙂

Tub Size & Price

I compared it to some other brands I own that are also sold by Attitude Holland:

Manic Panic comes in a 118ml tub and retails for €11.99 (Lunar Tides has the same size tub as Manic Panic and retails for €13.99).
Dye With Attitude comes in a 135ml tub and retails for €11.99.
Directions comes in a 88ml tub and retails for €8.99.
So as you can see, it comes in the largest tub and is the most affordable when it comes to the price per ml.

Application

Before applying, I bleached my hair to almost platinum blonde, as I always do when I change the colour. The dye consistency is the same as most other brands. It was really easy to apply with a brush and to spread it through my hair (in this case, just my fringe). After application I did what I always do – heated up my hair with my hairdryer for about 5 minutes to help the colours absorb better. The instructions say to leave it in for a minimum of 15-30 minutes. I always leave my hair dye in for at least 2 hours, so I did this and then rinsed with cold water. When I rinsed out the dye, the water was coloured for a really long time.

Aftercare

One thing I noticed when I washed it was that there was A LOT of colour bleeding in the beginning. Around the same amount as Manic Panic. It also stained my hands the first 3 times when drying and styling my fringe. After that there was almost no colour bleeding anymore and the shower water did not discolour much. It should also be noted that I wash my hair with cold / lukewarm water and wash it twice a week. The more you wash your hair, the faster the dye will fade, just like any other semi-permanent dye.

1 month comparison

The colour faded to a brighter purple over time which still looks good! You can see the difference in this before/after slider. I am happy that it washed out brighter rather than fading and disappearing to expose the colour underneath.

Final Thoughts

Overall, I am super happy with this hair dye! The colour lasted very well compared to some other brands and didn’t fade to a bad colour either. I could easily leave my hair as is for at least another month or two and it would probably still look good, so it’s great for people who want colour that looks good for a long time because they don’t have time to redye (or are just lazy like me!). The cost is also very affordable – it works out the cheapest per ml compared to the other brands that I have tried so it’s a perfect choice if you’re on a budget. The colour bleeding I can live with, but I know some people don’t like using dyes that do that. The only brand I like that has less colour bleeding is Lunar Tides. As with other semi-permanent dyes you can also mix the different colours to make your own, which is always a bonus if you want to try something new. So basically, I love this hair dye and I can’t wait to try out their other colours!

Until next time,
Jossie
