Overview
A snap-and-pour oil ampoule of five fruit oils mixes into the colorant and developer before application. ColorBond technology then dyes deep into the hair fibers to turn a dark base a vivid medium auburn.
High impact red on dark hair is hard to get at home, and this formula is designed for exactly that base. Packaging sizes and kit weight are missing from the listing, and photos are studio lit, so the shade on your head may differ from the box.
Who it's for
Suited to brunettes and dark-haired colorers trying a seasonal change to a bold red. People wanting a soft, gradual tint or a wash-out color should choose a semi-permanent product.
Pros and cons
- Made to show on dark hair
- Oil ampoule adds shine
- Non-drip cream for even coverage
- Silicone-free conditioner included
- Kit size and weight not listed
- Shade may differ from the photos
- Permanent, so changes need regrowth or recoloring
Performance notes
Even results depend on mixing the colorant, developer and oil ampoule fully and coating dry hair evenly before timing starts. ColorBond dyes deep into the fiber, which is what resists fade, while the oils limit the dryness that permanent color tends to leave.
