I agree: f**k Prolin.

With Prolin--Dome's "blended" colors--you only get 1/4 of the hair for the price. So instead of the 4 oz., or whatever, that you'd get with the regular monofiber, you end up getting 1 oz. of Prolin--a pretty ridiculous markup just for blending a few colors, if you ask me.

Unfortunately, it's not all that clear on the website that you get so little with the Prolin, so it's easy to get burned, but if you did an entire head of Prolin, it'd cost you about as much as human hair.

I dunno which chart you're referring to, but it's a medium purple at the very lightest. It's definitely a plum. Oh, and for the Dome, I mean the Violet (the other two are Prolin colors; and uh, f**k Prolin).

Just a little chime in
I have three packs on brombeere.  When it arrived I wasn't in the best light and I thought I'd been shipped black by accident.  So it is pretty dark.  I'll be blending with with very dark browns and using bright pink purple and lilac/lavender(veilchen and lila) to highlight late in the summer.  And I agree with Rae.  It doesn't really lean to blue or red.  It's a very true plum purple.  On my screen its about the right darkness on the PH website but slightly bluer than real life.

so all 3 of those colors are a very DARK shade? Im looking for something to intersperse with the black to give it a very dark plum color and then have my burgundy and kirschrot streaks on top.

Hmmm...well 99J is a dark red/black mix, at least the stuff I've seen, so I guess I don't have a frame of reference for what you want.

Brombeere is very plummy- definitely a very deep and not neon purple. I have a hard time telling if it's a red-violet or blue-violet, so I'd say it's very nearly in the middle, possibly more red. Dome's purple is similar, except definitely more reddy. Trimco's purple (AR19) is also a very deep plum color, somewhere in-between Brombeere and Dome Purple...but they're all very close.

Any of you that have color rings for PH/Dome/Trimco/Prostyles, can you please check and let me know if any of these come in a really dark purple... like the level of 2/dark brown and a red/violet tone. The ph brombeere looks too much of a blu-ish toned purple, I want something that is more the color of a plum or DARK purply wine. Kind of like the shade "99j" but a little more intense. I want to mix it in with the black for my underlayers, and then on top put streaks of burgund rot or trimco's burgundy, and kirschrot. Thanks!!!
