If it's not on afrocare's website it means they've run out and haven't got a new order in. I've noticed that they've been restocking a couple of colours over the last two weeks so I guess it's just a case of being patient and hopeful that silver white will be next.

I was wondering if anyone knew the differences in the shades of white?

Buyhair only has creamy white at the moment and i was wondering if there was any specific differences between that, snowy white, whitest white and/or any other variations. Anyone with swatches would be most helpful.

Thankyoou. =]

Is white on afrocare the white 1001 pictured, under the unnatural colours? Or is it a bright white colour? Im looking for a very very light blonde. The 1001 colour looks perfect but I dont want to order bright white.

I'm looking for a nice dark purple.. was thinking about Buyhair's purple black but it looks a bit blue-ish on the photo in the first post, and not really anything like the picture on the website. Anyone have any more pics? x

If it's not too much bother that'd be great.. was looking for more of a pinky purple than a bluey purple and none I can find are really dark enough.

Was thinking about blending something, but kinda hoped I could make thinks a bit easier on myself. Not done any hair for a while.. I seem to remember Buyhair having a lot more colours ?

Thanks x

I was gonna buy some too. I'm aware of the bad reviews for it... but then again I've had success with a lot of other colours that are supposedly weird too... I mean, if I could get Light Orchid to seal, I think ANY colour could seal... :lol: :lol:

I didn't find Snowy White that difficult, I just had to spend ages steaming it. I'd be quite happy to work with it again.

Thank you! Definitly prefer the orchid.. sorry if I confused anyone with my bluey/pinky purples problem, heh.

Another random question.. is there any difference between Afrocare and Buyhair's Aqua?

Is there a chart for Sensationnel?

I am looking for something similar to Barbie Pink/Pink in their range of KK.

Their pink is a baby pink, so I don't think it would help you. Sorry.

Blummin heck, you're so right. It's just turned up and I've never seen it look so green in ANY pictures of buyhair aqua.. it's more of a toothpastey green than an 'aqua' I think. They should re-name it 'aquafresh' :mrgreen:
