color ok but i did not like the applicator [SEP] i bought these to use in our school carnivals crazy hair room the color showed up well on all types of hair but as is usually the case they did not show up as well on dark hair the applicator was a pain to deal with and it would pull the hair and damage it if you were not super careful we stopped using them half way through the night they would probably be ok for home use and for medium to long hair
