Overtone Semi Permanent Hair Color Conditioner, Serene Silver, 8 oz, Nourishing, Damage-Free, Color Depositing Mask for All Hair Types with Shea Butter & Coconut Oil, Vegan & Cruelty-Free

So we bought this a while ago and finally made the time to try it. My daughter is in her twenties and I am in my forties. Neither one of us had any previous color on our hair, and both of us have very healthy hair. She is of a medium dark brown, and I am a dark brown. This product darkened my daughter's hair and gave her a very lovely grape hue throughout that is visible with or without natural light. On myself, it darkened my hair (bonus!) and gave me hints of grape, especially on my few, sporadic silver strands. It's important to note that anytime I have had my hair professionally dyed or tried to dye it myself back in the '90s (color from Hot Topic), My hair has always had difficulty holding on to color, which is one of the reasons why I stop dying it many years ago. However, this is my first time attempting fantasy hair since I was 15. Anyways, after using this our hair is incredibly soft, shiny, and we are extremely happy with the results thus far. I understand that they make a purple for brown hair now, which is supposed to have twice the amount of pigments, so we will be trying that next! Regardless, we are hooked and very much love it! Side note: It has the consistency of toothpaste, so it very well sticks to hair and doesn't run all over the place. It also smells a little like toothpaste too. Just a refreshing clean minty smell, nothing overwhelming. Treat yourself to this and have a great time. Life is for having fun. 😁

Was initially red and faded to orange. I wash my hair 1-2x per week and the color lasted about 3 weeks. Now my highlights have a slight pink tint to them but I think it will fade more. I will be sure to use a salon strength color remover prior to bleaching hair again.

I’ve used a different color-depositing mask before, but this one really impressed me. It gave my hair a rich, beautiful tone and left it soft and shiny. Just a small note for anyone using it for the first time — when applying, the mask may look a bit greenish in color (even though it’s not green in the jar!). It can also leave a slight tint on the scalp, so I recommend gently washing your scalp with shampoo after rinsing it out. Don’t worry, the hair itself doesn’t turn green at all. Overall, it toned my hair evenly and looks great. Definitely worth it for the price!

I've been using Overtone for years, and have no idea what has happened to the quality lately. Just opened a new tub of the vibrant magenta and it's lighter than the pastel magenta I bought a few weeks ago, and is so far showing almost no color deposit on my hair after 10 minutes. In the past I have covered very fresh salon demi-permanent purple-black with the extreme green and had it look exactly the same as in the tub. Really, really disappointed right now.

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.
