Fun-Easy-A little messy-Will Buy Again
My hair is wavy and down to the middle of my back. I’m naturally brown hair and about 50% gray, I’ve added the before pictures just so you could see how crazy it’s been growing out and pretty much ugly because I haven’t colored it in about 10 weeks. My hair has always been colored on the red side out of a box permanent color.This is the first time I’m using a semi permanent hair color color and first time going with a non-natural standard color. I am trying only the Magenta by itself.I’m putting these notes together as I’m doing the process so I can tell you, I have No Idea how this is going to turn out. 👀Here’s what I did:1.) I mixed the hair color with about a third of white conditioner and mixed it.2.) I added a mixture of shampoo and conditioner below the hairline to try to prevent skin staining. I’m always challenged when it comes to these home jobs.3.) Went into the shower and sat on the floor with the mixed dye and my gloves on. I have long hair, so I leaned over the bowl of mixture, which is rather runny as people have mentioned. Applied mixture to hair carefully while leaning over the bowl to make sure none of the product got on my shower floor.4.) From there, I cleaned the bowl while still in shower by adding water and pouring it directly down the drain to keep it from spreading throughout the shower floor. I did this a few times until it ran kind of pink. I also washed my comb which cleaned up just fine. I placed the rinsed bowl on a dark towel in case pink might show up from any leftover water. Put the bowl in the sink until end of process cleanup.5.) I didn’t use my comb throughout any of the application except to mix the conditioner and the hair color because I couldn’t find my hair dye brush. It worked fine. Cleaned up perfectly.6.) Then, I wrapped my head in plastic wrap as best as I could without really looking at what I was doing. Just enough to keep the drips off my skin and the hair up.7.) Sat on the porch for 45 minutes with a glass of wine and waited. Thoughts running through my head thinking I must be crazy and this is a total home experiment. I am nervous.😬😬8.) Cool rinsed in the shower with without shampoo. Because I use the curly girl method to keep hair from looking too fried, I figure the leave-in conditioner is just fine instead if the suggested shampooing for the moment (today?). I’ll shampoo with my low poo later today just to make sure I don’t leave product wherever I put my head (pillows) later.8.) Went out for dinner with hubby. He likes the color.Update: This color has lasted much longer than I thought it would. I wash my hair about 2x a week with low-poo so that may be why it has lasted so long. My roots have grown out and need touch-up but the color is great. I like color while it softens with washes. Going to try Cajun Spice next. Wonder how that will turn out on top of this Magenta. 🤔July 21 – posted a picture of just Magenta color about a month old. Roots are dark with grays and rest of hair is quite bright magenta1. Just going to go for it with Cajun Spice color right over the old- no conditioner mix and no heat2. Results pic posted – my thoughts…. Drum roll…👀

Mystic Gray better than Off Black, which has too much of a green tinge
I’ve tried both colors on my salon-bleached hair. Mystic Gray immediately washes into a gunmetal gray with a whisper of purple/blue, but after a few washes it settles into a very nice glossy, silvery tone, which compliments my medium olive skin. I then tried the Off-Black because a reviewer mentioned it didn’t leave a blue tint. Mistake (at least for me)! My hair turned black and after a few washes my hair was midnight blue and the following week it was a dark teal with a greenish tinge. After four weeks of washing my hair everyday, it’s almost silvery- gray but the greenish tinge remains. Once this washes out, I’ll go back to the Mystic Gray and use it in the shower as a 5-minute conditioner when I need a color boost. This is a great product. It gets the job done in a pinch with salon-quality results.

the color was very accurate to the bottle, i would use conditioner to dilute it a bit tho!! used this for calico hair and it lasts about 2 weeks

Used for a mixed red-black look, and this dye was fantastic! It’s worth noting this is a brown-based black; when it fades, your hair will fade to brown rather than blue or green like some other black dyes. I would recommend leaving the dye in for a while, as I found at first it turned my hair a dark brown (I applied it over blondey-orange hair), but after a second application, it was a perfect jet black. Definitely the longest-lasting semi-permanent black dye I’ve used as well, I find other semi-permanent blacks fade quickly, but this one lasts a bit longer. It will require some monthly upkeep, but I didn’t have to redye more than once a month. 5 stars!
