oVertoneColor Depositing Semi-Permanent Hair Dye Conditioner - 8 oz For Natural & Color-Treated Hair, Moisturizing Shea Butter & Coconut Oil - Vegan & Cruelty-Free, Rich Velvet is now Black Velvet

I bought the coloring conditioner in the shade Vibrant Pink. I had bleached my hair between the levels 8-10. My virgin hair was originally a level 1 (dark brown, almost black). So while the color obviously didn't show on my virgin roots, it deposited color very well on my bleached hair.My hair length reaches the middle of my back. I had to use an entire tub. I think for a more even application, I would have needed 1 tub plus at least 1/4 of a second tub. Be mindful of applying product on the back of your head. I neglected that area so while the color did show up, it was peachier and less pink than the front strands of hair that I could easily see and reach.The gloves provided in the box absolutely suck - they're thin and come apart easily and have holes in the sides which defeat the purpose of protecting your hands and render them useless. Luckily I have a stash of disposable latex gloves. You will absolutely need them to protect your hands from getting stained. Immediately wipe surfaces if product splashes onto it. Small amounts of product lightly stained my white bathtub pink. Not the end of the world but something to be mindful of.Application is fairly easy. The consistency of the conditioner is like a goopy cream. It doesn't drip so it's easy to apply, but because it's thick it's hard to spread. This is why you have to use a lot of product to cover a lot of surface area.Any coloring product will smell unpleasant. This conditioner has a mint fragrance in it that attempts to cover up the unpleasant chemical smell. It makes it more bearable. Some people have stated that the smell is like toothpaste. I think it's like a combination of chemicals and toothpaste.If you have sensitive skin like me, do a patch test on an inconspicuous area like behind your ear. Or apply a thin layer of Vaseline on the skin touching your hairline, including your temples, behind the ears, and your neck. For more protection, apply Saran Wrap on top of the Vaseline. I'm pretty lazy though and applied it directly to my hair and scalp, being mindful of not letting the product touch too much of my skin. My application wasn't perfect so small areas of my skin had product on it. Those areas, plus my scalp, became slightly itchy and red. The itchiness disappeared a few hours after washing my hair out.I applied the product and loosely clipped it up with a large hair claw, then sat in a bath for about 40 minutes while watching videos to pass the time. The instructions say to leave it in for much less time. I don't think 5-15 minutes will make a significant difference and will likely result in wasted product. I highly recommend leaving it on for at least 30 minutes, max 45-60 minutes.Rinsing out the product with water was easy. Took maybe a good minute to get it out. Although your scalp and hair strands will feel slightly heavy and sticky due to the deposited color afterwards, I highly discourage people from washing their hair with shampoo and following up with a separate conditioner. Shampoo and conditioners can make the color bleed out more. Everytime you wash with even just water, color will bleed. After first time application, just rinse with cool water, dry, and style, then use dry shampoo to avoid washing your hair often. This will prolong the life of the color.When the hair is wet, the color looked like a deep pink/light red. When fully dry, the color is a beautiful and soft pink, with a shade somewhere in between cotton candy and pastel pink. It's not actually too vibrant, despite its name. This was exactly the color I was going for though.After reading reviews on the pastel pink conditioner, which were very abysmal, I'm glad I went with vibrant pink instead. With 1-2 washes, the color gradually fades into a beautiful and subtle rose gold. With 3-4 washes, the color is almost gone. With subsequent washes, the color is entirely gone. If you wash hair every two days while relying on dry shampoo in between washes, you can expect the color to last for about a week.If you want to maintain the pink, you'll have to wash hair even less and/or reapply product every few washes. At $32 a tub for about a week's worth of color, it's pricey and not very financially sustainable. Knowing this, I bought the color just to have one week's worth of a final hurrah before I'd permanently dye my hair back to black. I had fun while it lasted and I have no regrets!I have not tried other colors in this product line so I can't speak on their quality. This product did its job and I was happy with the results. I'd recommend this to anyone with hair bleached to levels 8 or above looking for a week's worth of a whimsical and feminine color.

I have natural level 6/7 ash light brown hair. I have previously dyed my hair in the past, but always come back to my natural color. The problem is the color always fades to an orangey brass, and I can't stand it. I scoured to find something other than doing demi color over my ends for touch ups, because it's so drying, and I hate the chemicals. I picked this up to try out one of the blues to combat my orange brass, but I read 1 small review, that said that the silver did what I wanted. So I gave it a go, and I'm so glad I did, because I will never go back! My hair is now toned, the orange GONE, and my hair feels healthy and hydrated. I have low porosity hair, and left it in for 30 mins 1st application, and 2 days later did 45 mins for the 2nd, both with heat added, and these were the results. I still have more than 1/2 a jar left, since I'm only using in my ends it will provide me a few applications, which is perfect.

My three-year-old has been begging to dye her hair red so I went looking for a semi-permanent dye like the L’Oreal color pulse mousse I used as a teenager. This didn’t quite have the vibrancy of color or staying power of the mousse, which genuinely lasted for a couple of weeks, but it does work temporarily, leaves the hair so silky, and seems like it’s actually going to wash out completely—washing out completely is the most important aspect of a semi-permanent dye for me.I wouldn’t try to put it on myself without someone to help because the conditioner is super thick and really hard to work through the hair. On the plus side, that means it didn’t drip at all. I used about half the jar for my three year old.The picture is from the day I applied the color. Six days later, with one wash and a couple times her hair got wet, it’s pink. Her hair is a dark blond/light brown naturally. I used the Red For Brown color and would try the Ginger next time to try to avoid the pink hue.If you’re just looking for a temporary way play with color and the exact hue of your hair isn’t important to you, I recommend this. If it’s for a costume, I’d put it on day-of because it can wash out really quickly.Note, it took me 30 minutes to work it through her hair and then I left it on for another 15 before washing it out.

I have a section of my hair that is bleached and have it faded into actually dyed black ends. I've used all different kinds of overtone colors on it. It will not hold to unbleached hair. I really love this smokey blue color and get lots of compliments (I've bought this one three times. I've tried the vibrant purple (that one will stain things and it takes a long time for it to fade from your hair). I've tried the hot pink and the more pastel one which were both really nice. Color fades in about 5-6 hair washes for me. I only wash my hair about once a week so it works for me. I've tried the daily conditioner with it to maintain the color but find just redoing the color works better.

I recently had my hair colored teal and wanted to use Overtone to keep the color vibrant. It worked beautifully! This was my process: make sure your hair is clean but damp, I used a spray bottle to dampen as I went. I sectioned off my hair and applied liberally to each section. I used clips to clip up each section after applying. I then used a disposable shower cap to cover and minimize mess as I waited. The directions say 10-15 minutes until you can wash, but I waited 60 minutes as I wanted to ensure vibrant color. When time was up I rinsed with cold water until clear but did not shampoo and then dried my hair. It’s beautiful and super soft! The process was time consuming but if you're patient and carful you’ll have really nice color. Don’t forget to use gloves!!
