Adore Semi Permanent Hair Color (039 Orange Blaze) (2 Pack) | Vegan & Cruelty-Free Orange Hair Dye | No Ammonia, No Peroxide, No Alcohol | 4 Fl Oz

I have brunette hair, so when I first used this dye last year, it made my hair green instead of turquoise. I still liked it, so I didn't mind. Then I used the leftover dye when I had bleached my hair, and it was very vibrant and has lasted me a very long time. The dye is a beautiful shade, and lasts well even when you shower with hot water. It fades to a light blue with some green parts so I really like it.

I’ve been obsessed with dyeing my hair for the past year now. I like experimenting with ‘crazier’ colors, so I decided to do this one! The color was super dark yet vibrant—but that was because I had layered this on top of a brown hair dye (would’ve 100% been more vibrant). Additionally, the color lasts crazy long for the cheap price. I was working outside when I dyed my hair this color, so I had to wash my hair every two days to prevent it from getting all greasy. Despite the frequent washes, my hair remained persistently green (much to my dismay). I realized this wasn’t my color at all—but I’d definitely recommend it to anyone planning on dyeing their hair green on a budget! ^.^

Crimson is my new favorite red hair color. I've been dying my hair for over 20 years. For a long time, I did my own hair and used Punky Color and Manic Panic dyes. Then, for years, I had my hair professionally colored using mostly Special Effects dyes. I love the staying power of SE, but not the bleeding! Adore dyes have pretty good staying power, but only really bleed the first few times getting the hair wet. Now, I am growing it out and instead of spending $$$ on a pro, just keeping up my ends in color. The formula is pretty liquidy like Special Effects and unlike the gels of Punky Color and Manic Panic. This makes a little harder to apply, but not too bad since I am only really working on my ends. Even though my hair is nearly black, if I apply this dye to my roots I get a purply/burgundy sheen on the black parts. I spent a long time choosing a red color and looking at swatches online. Crimson was my first pick and I was very satisfied with the final result. Recently I also picked up Ruby Red and Raging Red to compare/contrast and also to dye some extensions with highlights and lowlights. Crimson is a deep red with pink undertones, but almost neutral when compared to other reds in the range. All three reds I have tested from Adore have cool undertones, but Raging Red is very very cool - I am hoping that the darkness hides a lot of the coolness. None have the very warm and orange undertones of PC/MP colors like Vermillion Red, Pillarbox Red and Wildfire. (I tend to prefer these warmer shades.) I've been doing my hair so long I forget that many people don't know how to get the most out of semi-permanent color (which actually is MORE permanent than permanent dye for me). Here are some tips: 1. Wash before you dye, with a harsh "clarifying" shampoo, or dish soap w/o hand softeners if your hair will tolerate and rinse with warm/hot water. WHY? - this opens up the cuticle where color can be deposited as well as strips out other color and junk. 2. Do not condition before you dye. WHY? - this will close/smooth the cuticle and you don't want to do that until after you color. 3. Apply dye, wrap in plastic to contain moisture and apply heat and leave on for WAY longer than directions say. WHY? - this helps penetrate more color deeper. You want to keep it wet and activated, bc once it's dry, that's pretty much it. (This only applied to semi-permanent non-developer dyes.) 4. Rinse in COLD or lukewarm water. WHY? - to smooth down the cuticle again and keep that color in! If you have ever had a Brazilian Keratin treatment, they do the same think when rinsing it out. 5. Condition only after dying. WHY? - to close/smooth down the cuticle and keep the color in. Personally, I don't protect my hairline with Vasaline because it makes more of a mess for me. I just swab off the color with rubbing alcohol. If you bathtub is stained, bleach and AJAX are your friend. I'll update this review when I dye the extensions. I am also going to mix Ruby and Raging and see if the color tuns out sorta like Crimson.

Review for Mocha (3/5☆) This is a tough product to rate because it has pros and cons. I got the color mocha with the intention of covering my hot pink hair. A lot of reviews say the mocha turned their hair green, which I wanted to neutralize the pink. Pros: smells good, easy to use, easy to clean, not damaging, covered pink very well (to an auburn color). Cons: the only con, but it's a big one, is that it did turn the ends of some of my hair, mostly my face framing pieces a greenish dark brown. I ended up trimming as much of it off as I could, but don't be like me and please do a strand test. For the process, I put it on completely dry hair, shower cap, heated with blow dryer for a minute, left cap on for 30 min, rinsed out. I have above shoulder length hair, natural level 2 roots, ends were lightened to a 7/8. I doused my hair and used about 60% of the bottle. Update: It faded fairly fast after only one shampoo, but I made a color depositing conditioner and left it on dry hair for 40 min. If I had done this to begin with, I might have rated it higher. The pic with straight hair is after the color depositing conditioner. Review for Paprika (5/5☆) I'm unable to make a separate review, so I labeled the paprika pics. After the mocha faded, I permanently dyed my ends ash brown, which made it a murky color! I put paprika on shampooed and fully dry hair (curly shoulder length, natural level 2 roots and dyed level 6/7 ends). I fully saturated my hair from roots to ends (60% of bottle) and covered with plastic wrap for one hour, then rinsed with cold water. It turned out a beautiful true auburn color with a copper shade in the sun. It did not stick to my undyed roots, which I preferred. I will be making a color depositing conditioner with this shade too after shampooing. Paprika does bleed a lot, as most red shades do, so wear gloves. It came off my skin easily, and I bleached my sink, and no color stuck.

I LOVED ADORE RUBY RED. I HAVE DARK BROWN HAIR AND I DYED MY HAIR. I DID NOT EXPECT THE COLOR TO SHOW UP, BUT IT DID. MY ENDS WERE WINE RED. IT WORKED EVEN BETTER THAN I EXPECTED. APPARENTLY, IT DOES NOT SHOW UP ON BLACK HAIR BECAUSE MY SISTER HAS VERY BLACK HAIR AND IT DID NOT SHOW UPON HER HAIR, BUT IS REALLY GOOD FOR BROWN/ DARK BROWN HAIR. IT WAS WORTH THE MONEY. IT LASTED FOR ABOUT A MONTH.

Nice the color was exactly what I expected, no surprises. It did not run and was pretty easy to use.

Trop bon

Arrivé brisé.... Pas le top du bouchon. Mais j aime bien la couleurpar contre elle ne tient pas longtemps sur les cheveux blancs... 3 shampoing et c est très délavé disons. Mais c est un beau bleu. C est très rare car les bleus que j ai essayer auparavant donnait turquoise (trop de vert) pour être bleu...

Ich habe die Adore Luxe Blue zum Nachtönen der Ansätze und zur Auffrischung der Farbe zwischen zwei Friseurbesuchen verwendet. Sie hat unverdünnt auch die nicht gebleichten Ansätze gut abgedeckt und auch mit minimaler Menge in Mischung mit Conditioner die Farbe der langen Haare gut aufgefrischt. Vorher habe ich mit Directions experimentiert. Adore ist in meinen Augen benutzerfreundlicher, es färbt weniger die Badekeramik und die Haut als das bei Directions der Fall ist. Und bei mir hat sie gleichzeitig die Haare besser getönt.

Me gusto mucho el color, tiene buena pigmentacion, cubre canas.

I've used this colour and other colours too several times, love it!!! So quick and easy to use!!! And actually lasts longer than I expected!! Although be sure to give your shower a good clean afterwards otherwise it could look like a "blood-bath" lol
