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

For someone who really loves stretching out hair appointments for color, I'm always on the lookout for a product that is going to keep my hair vibrant but also not ruin it. Overtone really hits the mark with that challenge, it has a fresh minty scent too which is a relief as I've learned a lot of these products leave little to be desired when it comes to scents. It also left my hair so soft and shiny while also depositing powerful pigment, which lasted for multiple washes after using it the first time. My only word of advice is USE GLOVES, this product is very pigmented but that also means it will stain anything it touches that isn't your hair.

I’m quite impressed with this product! I have fairly dark blonde hair and the ginger color was still able to saturate into my hair extremely well. I did an initial test strand (on dry hair) and left the color to sit for 20 minutes. When rinsed out and dried, the color wasn’t as bright as I had hoped. When I applied the color to all of my hair (again, on dry hair) I used the product generously and covered my hair with a plastic bag to retain heat and moisture while it sat. The product recommends 10-15 minutes, but based on my text strand I chose to leave it on longer. After an hour, I rinsed it out thoroughly in a warm shower. (Hot tip: wipe: rinse any splatters off your shower walls or floor as soon as you can. It stains fast!) Pros: easy to use, solid color saturation, I didn’t have to bleach my hair prior to use, my hair felt very nicely conditioned after using, and the color itself is very nice Cons: stained my shower wall a little (which should be easily fixed with some cleaning products), had to let it sit longer than the recommended 10-15 minutes (which honestly wasn’t even a big deal), I personally did not enjoy the smell (a lot of people seem to really like the smell, but it is quite strong and really sticks around. It gave me quite a headache for the first 24 hours). Overall: I liked the product and will be using it again!

Ok so I’ve used overtone rose gold for brunettes on my BLONDE hair before & it faded pretty quickly. Flash forward to thanksgiving & my blonde highlights were growing out. It looked bad but I didn’t have enough money to get them redone so I decided to put the ginger color in my hair. HUGE MISTAKE. It looked pretty at first but it was too neon for me. I waited & waited for it to wash out but it wouldn’t. I decided to buy an expensive purple blue shampoo to tone it down, & that eventually helped get rid of the neon. Once it did start to fade my hair turned a disgusting yellow, green, gold color. It was atrocious. Once it got to this stage it would not fade out. I tried every color stripping concoction & tried many clarifying shampoos, but nothing would help. So I eventually had to purchase color oops, which only helped very slightly. Color oops got my hair to a yellow color that still had a green under tone. So I’ve been using olaplex clarifying shampoo & a homemade pink conditioner (some pink deposit dye & my regular conditioner) to help combat the green tone in my hair. Finally after months my hair is starting to look blonde again but it is no where near the platinum blonde I used to have. Moral of the story is, I wish I never put the ginger color on my platinum blonde hair. I have spent more money trying to get this crap out of my hair than I would have just to redo my highlights in the 1st place. I dyed my hair back in November of 2022 & it is now April of 2023 & my hair still has not returned to its original color. DO NOT USE THE GINGER COLOR IF YOU WANT BLONDE HAIR AGAIN. It does not wash out like the pink did. You have been warned.

It gave my hair a nice tinge and some moisture which is nice but my greys did not experience anything in regards to color change. I am a white woman who went grey early who is now 41 and I have a lot of grey and thought I would try this out. The color really only hung on to the brown, not grey. So just a heads up, if you have darker brown hair and you try the ginger tint to help cover any greys-the color seems to only bond on the non-grey. Not worth the effort for me.

THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT! Made my hair like 3 shades brighter so good for maintaining my ginger color.
