OVERTONEHaircare Color Depositing Conditioner - 8 oz Semi-permanent Hair Color Conditioner With Shea Butter & Coconut Oil - Extreme Silver Temporary Cruelty-Free Hair Color (Extreme Pink)

I have dark brown/almost black Asian hair that’s natural on top and had been ombre bleached and dyed purple at the bottom. This conditioner worked wonders after my original purple had washed out, and the colour lasted way longer (3+ weeks? and this is without using Overtone’s recommended daily conditioner) than my original dye job did. The immediate colour is quite a vibrant dark purple on my bleached hair, but after about 10 washes starts to fade into a nice lighter purple shade mixed with some brown that starts to show through. On my natural dark hair, the purple appears as a subtle tinge that’s mainly visible under direct light/sunlight. I have mid-length, thin hair so the entire jar lasted me about 4 applications over the course of mid-October to start of Jan. Would recommend to those with lightened/lighter hair as a great way to try out fun colours! Those with totally dark hair, it’ll be a subtle look - plenty of video reviews on youtube will give you an idea of what to expect!

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 had my hair dyed a teal color back in February. That lasted awhile but around May color started to fade and so I decided to try out Overtone. I've been using it a few months now.I take my time slathering it on and can basically get a full head using 1/3 of the jar. I go for the lightest areas first and make sure I get every lightened/colored area touched up. As this is semi-perm, I actually massage it all throught the hair, run a comb through, and remassage it all together to make sure everything is covered. I blow-dry it with a hair dryer a bit as well cause heat helps somewhat. Then I wrap it in a bun with a clip on my head and then leave it on 20-30 min additional time before I washing it out. I wash my hair every 3-4 days and I find I only touch up 2-3 weeks when it starts fading.I've read that some people can barely get it to stay and and I the only thing I can hink of is that they didn't cover enough or leave it on long enough.Also, I really love the smell. Dunno why.

So I had salon blonde hair and I wish I knew about this before my wedding 😂I died it brown to match my red traditional Chinese dress (my husband is Chinese I am Caucasian for reference) and thought cause I used wella toner to get brown and a semi permanent red as filler before brown I could just use some of that bond building color remover and go right back to my blonde. No. I could not. Hair being in a very touch and go state later 😂 and refusal to be this awful weird green tint after using products the lady at Sally’s suggested that shocker didn’t work with toning 😂 (she suggested I use a dye over a toner for a nice “mushroom blonde” and my hair went green blonde or like mucky dishwater just dear god after I did so much to strip the dang dye out) I didn’t want to try and go back down the color cycle back to brown and looked to see what colors overtone or xmondo had. I work as an engineer so I couldn’t do a head of like blue 😂 and I needed it to last (xmondo is just meant for more pale blonde I found out and also meant to wash out sooner plus I didnt see any natural shades when I looked) and overtone had good reviews and videos for being lasting and I also saw a lot about using it on blonde. I got the espresso brown and put it on but much more carefully haha I didn’t glop it on I used little bit by bit and it spread pretty good. Has consistency of like mud but smelled nice. Left it on for the 15 minutes with the Walmart bag on my head 😂. And it honestly came out great! My hair was VERY porous after what it’d been through and I even did a protein treatment before I applied it so it went on like medium to dark I’d say and I shampood after to try and get any left over or build up on my scalp too. It’s been through a couple washes and one being a salon wash cause I had to get a haircut and still no fade really (I’d say about 5 so far) I wash my hair usually like 2-3 times per week. It looks just as it did day 1 but when I do wash though (I don’t use cold water) like after I shampoo it does turn the water colors but I wouldn’t freak out about that to be honest cause it sticks pretty good. I have shoulder…had 😂…shoulder length hair (massive trim) and I’d say I only used like 1/4 of it cause I used little by little but I also have more fine hair. Will continue honestly using this while my hair grows out cause I just really love it overall and may never go back to harsh dyes again depending on how the fashion colors do once it grows out a little and I can do my ends

Pros: I LOVE the smell of this product (minty?) and how nourished my hair feels afterwards. I live in a very arid climate and my hair hasn’t felt this nice in years!Cons: The term “vibrant” is misleading. After reading some reviews, I used an entire container to saturate my hair very well and decided to leave this on for 1.5hrs instead of the manufacturer’s suggested 15mins. I have a slight darkening on highlights that are over a year old so the demarcation line isn’t as noticeable in person but other than that, there’s very little change. I attached photos in exact same clothes, lighting conditions, etc from immediately before & after (no shampoo, just rinsed out as directed). I imagine that this very mild toning effect will be completely gone within a few washes.Takeaway: I’ll give the Extreme Silver a try before writing this product off entirely. My hair really does feel incredible but I can’t justify $30+ per application if there’s no color payoff.
