Rebellious Colour

Rebellious Colour is a British hair-colour line that makes semi-permanent dyes, colour sprays and glitter sprays in bold, vivid shades. It is one of six brands operated by PaintGlow, the trading name of Lakeland Cosmetics Ltd, a family-run cosmetics manufacturer based in Workington, in the English Lake District [1]. The brand and its parent remain active, with a current product catalogue and UK retail distribution.

Styled "Rebellious Colour®", the line sits within PaintGlow's wider portfolio of colour cosmetics and party products. Several retailers list it in shortened form simply as "Rebellious".

Rebellious Colour is one of six brands under PaintGlow, alongside PaintGlow itself, Glitter Me Up, Funky Face, Fright Fest and Extreme FX [1]. PaintGlow launched in 2008 and describes itself as a colour cosmetic brand based in the English Lake District [2]. That founding year aligns with the parent company's registration: Lakeland Cosmetics Ltd was incorporated on 27 February 2008, originally under the name Dance Factory Limited before adopting its present name in 2015 [3].

According to the company, PaintGlow began as "the Original Paint Party Company" and grew from party supplies and special-effects fluids into a broader range spanning makeup, glitter, SFX products and hair colour [2]. Rebellious Colour occupies the hair-colour part of that portfolio. The launch date of the sub-line itself is not documented separately from the parent brand.

The line centres on three product types. Its flagship is a Semi Permanent Hair Dye, sold in a range of shades with names such as Shocking Pink, Voodoo Green, Electric Blue, Ultra Violet and Scarlet Red. The company states the dye develops in 15 to 30 minutes and lasts between two and ten washes, and notes that it works best on pre-lightened hair. Alongside it are a Temporary Colour Hair Spray, offered in a spread of shades from black to gold, and a Temporary Glitter Hair Spray in variants including Gold Digger and Prosecco Pink.

The products are positioned at an affordable price point. The brand's overall orientation is toward festival, club and party use, reflecting PaintGlow's roots in the paint-party market.

PaintGlow states that its products are made in the UK, and the Rebellious Colour dye is described as manufactured by Lakeland Cosmetics in Workington. The company markets the range as vegan and cruelty-free, and describes the semi-permanent dye as free from ammonia and peroxide, with a "deep conditioning formula" and compliance with EU and FDA requirements [4]. According to PaintGlow, its ingredients undergo independent testing and are certified to EU directives [2].

Rebellious Colour is active. Its parent, Lakeland Cosmetics Ltd, is listed as an active company on the UK's Companies House register [3], the PaintGlow site carries a current catalogue and a 2026 copyright line, and the range remains in UK retail circulation. Third-party coverage is limited to retailer and marketplace listings; the brand has not been the subject of major beauty-press editorial, consistent with its niche as a small festival and party hair-colour line.
