AdoreSemi Permanent Hair Color - Vegan and Cruelty-Free Black Hair Dye - 4 Fl Oz - 121 Jet Black (Pack of 2)

Wow!! Vibrant colors that last! It’s been 4 weeks of washing my hair every other day with hot water and my hair still looks so vibrant and neon and I am still getting compliments every day. I will never use arctic fox or manic panic or strawberry leopard or any of the other brands I’ve tried over the years again. The purple faded a little faster than the other colors and the cool tones from the neon yellow faded to banana yellow in my fried ends, but my roots where my hair is healthier is still extremely vibrant for all the colors I used.As for use, this dye is a transparent gel I found pleasant to smell and easy to work with. It’s a hair on the drippier side but it blends easy and absorbs quickly into the hair. I think being transparent made it easier to see what color you’re making when mixing colors. You can hold it up to the light to see the color and you can see if any areas need to be mixed more.I usually leave conditioner colors like this on for 4+ hours but I was short on time and only did an hour and a half with this dye and it still did the job. It absolutely does stain skin pretty bad so be careful. I’m super happy with this and you can’t beat the price for this level of staying power! Repeat customer for life!

As the daughter of a master cosmetologist I've been dying my hair since I was 14 (15+ years experience). I've tried them all, punky color, manic panic, artic fox, joico, splat and more. I've vetted every product through my licensed cosmetologist mother and never got any kick back due to harmful ingredients or other factors. That being said, this is my new favorite brand for fun semi permanent colors at a reasonable price. I've used it on myself and my daughter (see pictures for break down).I wanted to try several colors from this brand prior to reviewing so that it would reflect a bigger range as some colors will last longer or process differently. I wanted more of a neon green for my first color and the green apple was not dark/neon enough for me so I decided to mix a bit of emerald in to achieve the color I wanted since I did not see the exact color I wanted in the colors available. My base color was a BRASSY dark blonde and my daughters was a less brassy brighter blonde, so my original fear was the cooler color neutralizing the brass more than it showing through. The first dye (green apple) on my hair was not bad. The color was good. The first dye on my daughter's hair (emerald) did somewhat come out dull from the brassyness (did not take a picture) but after a few days, I did a second coat and it came out as pictured. Each time we dyed, I used a brush/bowl application method and let it process for 1+ hr (because I'm busy and forgetful). Here are my thoughts:Pros: didn't stain my skin an insane amount when I had accidental drippage, color lasts more than 2 weeks (4+ washes), mixes well if you want to adjust color, covers well and pretty even depending on your base and your application, affordable, large range of colorsCons: it takes a lot of washing to fadeI love the range of colors to choose from and I love being able to mix them and not end up with something muddy. I also love that it is pretty long lasting compared to other popular semi permanent colors (look up dye vs dye on YouTube). The only caviot to that is if you like to change colors often, it may be harder depending on which direction you go on the color wheel or if you only want color for a short amount of time like vacation or leave from work, this may not work for you. It also did not stain my daughter's hair when we did the blue and make it a horrible shade of green that we were unable to cover. So all together, I really love this brand of dye and will continue to buy as need (a little goes a long way) but it may not suit everyone.

This stuff is legit. I have dark hair and don’t want to bleach it, but would like some fun color in my hair. I’m not expecting anything vibrant, but I want to see the color. I’ve tried a several with minimal results. But this stuff really gave me eggplant hair I can see without being in certain lighting. Very easy to use though I will warn you, rinse in a stainless steel sink or somewhere outside of your shower. I’ve used hair color for years and have never seen a dye so quickly turn my shower a color. And a vibrant one. It took me a lot of time and a variety of cleaners to get my shower back to mostly normal looking. Bleach did nothing to it. I’m not sure what staying power this has yet, but it was definite effective at depositing color, everywhere it touched!
