I am thrilled with my color result! This is the best result I've ever had from a contemporary color of any brand, and I've tried many, and I can't get over how similar to the swatch/product pictures it came out. I opted not to leave overnight, but just over an hour. With further research, I found that like some other contemporary dyes, this can be left in much longer than the recommended 20-40 minutes. I was surprised at how rich and pigmented it was and how far a small amount on my brush went. Bonus: 2 applications for my short hair!) in a tint bowl and swirled it around a bit with my tint brush and found it perfectly manageable and easy to apply without adding anything. I applied Radiant Orchird immediately thereafter, without rinsing. I didn't find the cream to be too thick to use, as some others have complained, so decided to just do it as a pre-treatment. I will never color without it again! I left it in for 20-25 minutes by itself before applying the Ion Color Brights as opposed to mixing it with my color, as a few reviewers suggested. I can't get over how accurate the swatch/pictures were for my chosen color! (Radiant Orchid) I used Neutral Protein Filler as a post-bleaching, pre-color treatment per a recommendation I found researching my color choices. I already had my hair bleached so I didn't have to worry about it, but for those of you with medium blonde hair or anything darker, I would definitely recommend bleaching it lighter. For other colors such as the darker purples and blues it's not as necessary, but since the Rose dye is very light as pastel-ly your hair needs to be as light as possible before you use this. (You HAVE to bleach your hair before you use this dye unless you were lucky enough to be blessed with platinum blonde hair. Hair needs to be very, very light to work. Luckily I had just enough dye leftover to go over the areas one last time.) My hair was bleached to a platinum blonde and the color still didn't take in some areas. Needs to be put on very thickly (part of the reason I had to use a whole tube on such a small amount of hair was because you really have to put a lot on in order for it to take. If you have long hair I would definitely recommend getting more than one tube) Not enough dye in the tube (this won't apply to everyone but I personally used the dye all over my head but only on my roots plus maybe another two inches and it was barely enough. Very pretty color (doesn't really look like the sample swatch but it comes out as a really pretty pastel pink without looking neon, which I really liked) I used the Rose colored dye and pretty happy with the results. Reviewed in the United States on 26 December 2020 Have your hair prelightened to a level 8, 9, or 10 blonde before trying to achieve gray/silver hair with this product. Be prepared for your arms to be sore halfway through because you have to work hard to cover each strand of hair. Don't buy one box thinking "I usually only need one" because the consistency of this dye is NOT like other dyes. It works, but just buy enough to cover your hard. Even then it is extremely hard to spread. You have to really work the product into a tiny section of hair to make sure it is covered. The dye itself is gummy or like a very thick gel or wax. I usually only need one box or tube of hair dye to cover every strand of hair thank goodness I ordered two of these because I had to use them both. I'm 5'4 and it goes halfway down my back. Where the star deduction is coming from is the feel of the dye and amount that needed to be used. The deposit of color was great from my level 10 hair (before and after pics) and the vibrancy was very good for being a semi permanent dye. Level 8 to 10 range.Īs for my rating, I feel as though 3 stars is adequate. Your hair has to be a high level of blonde to have good/decent results. It only deposits color which means you cannot apply this gray/silver color to dark hair and expect it to "change" or do anything to lift color. You do not need developer with this product. It will only last for about 6 to 10 washes.Ģ. Which means it will not last long and that's exactly what I wanted. I read the reviews prior to purchasing and wanted to purchase anyway because I know everyone's hair is different and sometimes, let's be honest, people don't read directions.ġ. So I have a few things I want to mention about this product.
