I have tried the teal, pink, and purple on my real hair. If you want it to really show up in your hair, you're going to have to buy more than just 1 dye. I got 3 of each color and had 3 colors in my hair. Looked super gorgeous! Yes, it takes a little more time for the colors to wash out but that was ok for me. Received a lot of compliments at work. Ppl thought I had it done at the salon, lol.
