Lime Crime Pastel Colored Unicorn Hair Tint, Bunny (Pastel Baby Pink) – Damage-Free Semi-Permanent Hair Color Conditions & Moisturizes – Temporary Hair Dye Kit Has Sugary Citrus Vanilla Scent – Vegan

More perfume than dye: 2 days of pink, 7 days of stink
I have used similar semi-permanent dyes like Manic Panic and Punky Colour many times in the past, am familiar with the process of using these types of dyes, and have been pleased with the results from those brands. I opted for Lime Crime’s Unicorn Hair in Sext because I was looking for a dusty rose shade to create a “rose gold” effect on bleached highlights.The first thing I noticed upon opening the container was an extremely strong, pungent, perfumey fragrance emanating from the jar. This surprised me, as I am used to the very mild, neutral scents of other vegetable dyes like Manic Panic. I see that Lime Crime claims their product has a vanilla scent and although the fragrance may contain a synthetic vanilla note, the overall effect is a very intense, drugstore “perfume” scent. I cannot overstate how strong and persistent the scent was: it took a full week for the scent to fade, and the first three days I felt suffocated by a thick miasma of cheap perfume – almost like I had dunked my head in a vat of a knock-off of Poison by Dior. Over the next several days, it transitioned to a scented doll head fragrance and then eventually to an insect repellent type scent.The color, on the other hand, was gone after two washes.I had applied the color to clean, dry hair that was free of all product (including conditioner), covered with a plastic cap, and let it sit for an hour. Upon rinsing out the dye, I was left with the faintest pink tint in the highlighted sections of my hair. The tint was only visible in very bright light and not otherwise noticeable.I would only recommend this product to someone who was looking for an extremely subtle color for a one-day, well-lit, outdoor event – like an outdoor, daytime wedding – and who can tolerate strong scents. I would not recommend this product for anyone planning to spend time indoors in the company of other people in the first three days after use; I think it would trigger migraines for those with fragrance/chemical sensitivities.

This one color “sext” is off-do a strand test
I will start by saying I have tried 4 other lime crime colors in the past few months and they are generally fantastic , and they have always shown up very close to the colors on the box. I was very excited for this color, I didn’t think I needed a strand test as my hair was a level 9/10 and in ok condition . I did a split dye with “mochi” on the other part of my head. “Sext” is a smokier pink on the box, but it turned mostly light patchy brown with a hint of red on my hair. It was on for 3 hours, just like the mochi side at the same time. The mochi side looks awesome. I am very unhappy with the “sext” color, it looks terrible in real life ( not sure the pic captures it) . I now have a brownish and purple split dye instead of the pink and purple and it is gross looking. Still trying to figure out the best way to fix it, either a gentle color remover or maybe putting a brighter pink over it. Learn from my mistake, do a strand test or at least a swatch to see how the “smokier” colors come out for you. I am very disappointed and will be looking into other brands of dye for my next look.***update** did some vitamin c treatments (my usually pretty effective way to remove semi/demi permanent colors) and they took all the remaining pink out and now I am left with a horrid green mud color. Not the kind of color you can leave the house with, I’m going to have to try to fix it again ASAP. I guess it has strong green or blue mixed in there as an undertone. I didn’t have problems with removing other colors from this line. I would strongly suggest not using the color “sext” , or if you risk it please do a strand test for the love of all that is holy! Off to find a new color that may cover the current “swamp” situation.

Love this color!
I wish the color stayed longer. I do love the brand and color.

Smells great, easy to use and cleans off the floor, bath, face and everything else that isn’t your hair pretty easily.I have medium brown hair and I left it on for an hour to get good results that last over a week , great for holiday hair . Already reordered

Not only did it not come out like the colour its supposed to ( my hair was very light blonde) it has also ruined my hair by turning it green just after 1 wash. I wish I could get a refund as now I will have to spend more money and ruin my hair even further to try and get the green out of my hair by bleaching it again.

Au début c’était beau, la coloration sent bon MAIS après un seul lavage la couleur tourne au vert ! Je ne recommande pas.
