OMGluie Hair Dye Review: Pravana ChromaSilk Vivids in Silver

Oh yes! After so, so long, it’s time for another OMGluie Hair Dye Review! I’ve been wanting to try this dye for the longest time and I finally bought myself a couple of tubes! Without further ado, here’s my review of the Pravana ChromaSilk Vivids in Silver.

The Pravana ChromaSilk Vivids in Silver is, I noticed, one of the most raved about silver/grey hair dyes in the web. I’ve done a lot of searching online with regards to grey dye and well, all roads have lead to this!

I purchased two tubes from Rainbowhead Philippines for Php 700 a pop! You get 3 fl. oz so it’s decently priced, I think. Ion is Php 550 for 2.05 fl. oz while Arctic Fox is Php 600 for 4 fl. oz.

However, you can only really feel the difference in prices depending on the amount of product you end up using for the length of hair you have.

Off the bat, from the tube, you can tell that the dye is very, very purple. I actually ended up using 5 fl. oz. I literally had 1 fl. oz of product left and it was kind of a mistake because I DID NOT foresee how pigmented this hair dye would be on my hair.

Before we get to that, here are my BEFORE photos…

Take note that this was last dyed in June 2017 with Ion Color Brilliance Brights in Titanium which was also diluted in conditioner. :))

And here are the AFTER photos…

I know it looks patchy in some parts but that’s really because I’ve been bleaching my hair only at the roots so some uneven-ness of color is to be expected. But gosh, haha, can you believe that I’ve had grey hair for almost a year??

Anyway, can you see that pigment??? Holy hell, you guys, I didn’t expect it to turn out so purple, haha!

The purple tone really doesn’t bother me because I expect it to even out after a couple of washes. … I’m actually on my 5th wash already but the color only calmed down. It now looks more kinda dark purple/slate blue-gray, LOLOLOL.

The dye is easier to use. It’s not thick and creamy like Ion but not runny like Arctic Fox. I guess the closest comparison would be the Iro Iro hair dye? IDK. Athough, I gotta say, I really hate the smell of the dye, it’s just too strong for me! Ah, but mixing it with conditioner helps cancel out the scent, sooooo, there’s that. :))
