Description

What does “semi-permanent” hair color mean? Semi-permanent hair color deposits vibrant pigments onto your hair without altering its natural structure. It adds color, shine, and richness while being gentle and conditioning. How long does semi-permanent color last? Typically 3–6 weeks, depending on hair type, porosity, and washing habits. It gradually fades rather than growing out harshly. How is semi-permanent different from demi-permanent hair color? Semi-Permanent: No ammonia or peroxide. Coats hair & fades with washes. Great for bold, fun, or subtle color shifts. Demi-Permanent: Low peroxide. Slightly penetrates the hair for longer wear. Great for blending, toning, & enhancing natural color. Can I lighten my hair with semi-permanent color? No, semi-permanent color cannot lighten hair. It works best on your current base, or over pre-lightened hair for brighter, more vibrant results. Can I mix shades to customize my color? Yes! Semi-permanent formulas are great for blending shades to create your perfect custom color. Visit the Store Visit the Store Visit the Store

  • Lovely pastel color, washes out fairly quickly
Color: 196 Sky Blue Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
My late-teen son's hair is already bleached platinum, but without access to his stylist during the pandemic, he wanted a refresh of his pastel color. I bought this, applied it with a hair color brush -- but you could use one of those applicator bottles, as well. Just be aware it's a little jelly-like, meaning it drips MUCH more easily that typical cream hair color. Use a floor covering & wipe up spills immediately! After saturating his hair with the color, I used a plastic hair cap, then heated it under a bonnet on medium for an hour. Lastly, after rinsing, I followed with clear Sebastian Cellophane to help prolong the color. Initially it was a little bolder than he'd wanted the first couple days, but after he washed it, he was thrilled. Pastels ALWAYS wash out quickly, and this is no exception, but with the heated bonnet, and cellophane, it has lasted him over 4 weeks with good color. Changing colors is fun, so I did not have him use a color-depositing clenditioner -- if you're doing a single color, and want to maintain it for longer than 4 weeks, I'd recommend maintaining with color-depositing clenditioner every time you wash. I'm rating this 5 stars, because it met our expectations with the understanding that pastel colors are always short-lived. (Note, we used two colors - baby blue & mint) ... show more

A gorgeous color! My daughter loved the results! I dye my hair too, and this color is stunning! Mine looks even brighter, since my hair was at a level 9 or 10.

  • Sticky texture that leaves hair dull
Color: 196 Sky Blue Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've used a lot of different brightly colored dyes, Adore is probably the worst. At first I didn't notice because I mixed with conditioner to lighten the color which gave it a little slip when applied and it was on freshly bleached hair so I put the rougher than usual finished texture down to over processing. However, after using this dye a few more times, alternated with better quality brands, I realized Adore was the problem. The dye is runnier than typical and once applied it's sticky. Using Adore by itself, without a conditioner mixed in, is impossible to comb through because the hairs stick to each other as if they're tangled or matted. After the dye is washed out, my hair isn't as soft and shiny as it is with other brands of dye. I think it's a residue being left behind, rather than damage to the hair strand. After enough washing and conditioning, it will get back to how it was before using this dye, but the color is also very faded at that point. The initial color payoff on these dyes is good, but it also fades really fast. I did a two tone dye job with green from Joico on one side and purple Adore on the other. Initially, the Adore was slightly less shiny but much crisper and more vibrant in color than the Joico side, but the Joico color still looked pretty good 4 weeks later and the Adore side faded out two weeks in. ... show more

  • Updated: EXPIRED Bottles, But Works On Heavily Bleached Hair
Color: 196 Sky Blue Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Update: I'm still not impressed that they sent me expired dye, but I have figured out that this DOES work on treated/bleached hair if you bleach it long enough. The dye did not stick at all to my natural light brown/ dark blonde hair. My goal was to have a pale blue or teal streak in my hair. This time around, I used Wella lightening powder and 30 developer for a full hour and then immediately applied this Sky Blue dye for 15 minutes, wrapped up under a plastic sandwich bag. I then treated the streak with heat using a blow dryer. The color is holding so far after washing with shampoo every day and is a nice pale teal color. Old Review: I wish I'd read all the recent reviews from 2020 before buying two bottles. Maybe this stuff was great once, but not any more. The seller sent me two bottles marked EXP: 10/14/2020 which arrived today 11/24/2020. I am just dying a lightened streak for a fun flash of color, but it would not stick past one wash even to lightened (blonde) hair strands. ... show more

  • Pretty Color, But Doesn’t Last Long
Color: 196 Sky Blue Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I loved the color when I first applied it to bleached hair — it was vibrant and exactly what I was hoping for. Unfortunately, it didn’t last very long. A significant amount washed out during the very first rinse, and the color continued fading quickly after that. In my experience, it only lasted about two weeks before it was mostly gone. If you’re looking for a temporary pop of color, this may work well, but I was hoping for better longevity. ... show more

  • Gorgeous, lasting color! Pro tip: leave it longer
Color: 196 Sky Blue Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Look at what a gorgeous sky blue result. I accidentally fell asleep with it on under a shower cap so it sat wayyy longer than it should have - like a full 8 hours 😂😅. However, when I washed it out, we’ll look at this beautiful true to tone sky blue tone I’m left with. I went gray prematurely and like to do this with fun colors. It’s barely faded, dyed it over a week ago and taken several showers since. My only complaints are it kind of smells a little ick and I really needed 2 bottles, I ran out and couldn’t cover all my hair. But as you see it’s long. Lovely product. ... show more
