Yes it is.

When wondering if something is uv or not, check out my site: http://dreadviolet.com/tuotteet.html?id=19/. I've tested them all, and when some color comes in several brands, UV-text has ** after it and explaining text in the description of the product. (For example normal yellow.)

edit: planning on doing a uv-color chart "someday".

thanks! i actually saw it on your site but wasnt sure about the brand, i think you dont mention it there. and the "Fuchsia" i get from afrocare is uv-reactive for example, and its not on your site. so that made me even less sure :D

Fuchsia is one of those colors that sometimes is uv and sometimes not. Jazzy is UV, previous Modu was uv, and current "win braid or something" (that is produced by Modu) is not. I'm trying to keep the page up to date with current stock.

I've never seen any yellows other than the regular yellow and the neon yellow/green. Maybe try blending the two?

The regular yellow from Jazzy is UV, so I guess it can be considered pretty "neon".

A similar colour to this would be sea green or light petrol green from buyhair, the sea green is a little more blue though.

I know this is late off the mark, but Gelb UV by Plastikhaar is very very bright yellow without a green tone.

Classic Braid is jumbo. Silver Braid is sort of in between -- it's not as soft as Modu or Zury silky braid, but it's not kinky either.

Are people still having issues with the whitest white from BH? I really want some true white dreads and I'm torn between ordering that and taking the risk it won't seal, or paying the extra for plastikhaar. I'm also not all that familiar with working with the PH silky so I don't want to spend a fortune on something I will struggle to backcomb.

Argh, decisions!

If it's not on Afrocare's website it mean it's sold out. Though Paul's hair world sell Sensationnel's Snow which I believe is practially the same colour.

The orange accents in these loose falls are fiesta orange (there is also some hot pink, but that big chunk in the middle is all fiesta)

This picture makes it look a bit darker than it really is.. bad lighting.

And a color swatch taken in natural sunlight. This was photographed at the same time/place as the tomato red, golden berry, velvet, and blue chocolate color swatches, so if you've seen them in person that might be helpful as a reference :)
