AdoreSemi Permanent Hair Color - Vegan and Cruelty-Free Brown Hair Dye - 4 Fl Oz - 072 Paprika (Pack of 1)

Let me tell you: I’ve been on a personal journey through the rainbow, and Adore has been my trusty sidekick the whole way. I’ve been buying their fantasy colors off Amazon for a couple years now because a) I only dye my money piece, and b) I like to switch it up more than a toddler in a Halloween costume aisle.My most recent adventure? Indigo Blue. This shade is chef’s kiss if you want that deep, ocean-at-midnight vibe. It starts out looking like you stole pigment from Poseidon’s favorite cloak. It is semi-permanent, though, so don’t expect it to cling to your hair like your cat clings to the warm laundry. I got a solid couple of weeks before it started fading into a soft pastel seafoam vibe—not bad, just a different kind of cute. The fade is gentle, not patchy or weird, and it never made me look like I lost a battle with a Smurf.Now, let’s talk consistency. This dye is not watery like those runny nightmares from some other brands. It stays put, which is great when you’re trying to paint your hair, not your bathroom walls. Plus, each bottle is 4oz and you get two—a total steal for under $10 depending on the shade. That’s salon color price on a ramen noodle budget.Here’s my own Adore color lineup:Rich Eggplant, African Violet, Violet Gem, Purple Rage – All queens in their own purple way. Long-lasting, vibrant, and fade like a dreamy pastel.Neon Pink – WARNING: It's so neon you might start glowing like a Vegas sign under a blacklight. Not actually glow-in-the-dark, but close enough.Jet Black – Ehh... the one I wouldn’t recommend. Fades fast and gives a weird greenish cast. Use a true permanent black if you’re going dark-dark.Back to Indigo Blue—while it did fade faster than the purples, I still loved it. The blue washed out beautifully and didn’t stain my bathroom like an abstract art project gone wrong. Oh, and it’s vegan, cruelty-free, and free of ammonia, peroxide, and alcohol, so my money piece stays shiny and happy instead of fried and crunchy.In short: If you’re fantasy-dye curious, broke-ish, non-committal with color, or just a long-time color addict like me—Adore is the move.

Wow!! Vibrant colors that last! It’s been 4 weeks of washing my hair every other day with hot water and my hair still looks so vibrant and neon and I am still getting compliments every day. I will never use arctic fox or manic panic or strawberry leopard or any of the other brands I’ve tried over the years again. The purple faded a little faster than the other colors and the cool tones from the neon yellow faded to banana yellow in my fried ends, but my roots where my hair is healthier is still extremely vibrant for all the colors I used.As for use, this dye is a transparent gel I found pleasant to smell and easy to work with. It’s a hair on the drippier side but it blends easy and absorbs quickly into the hair. I think being transparent made it easier to see what color you’re making when mixing colors. You can hold it up to the light to see the color and you can see if any areas need to be mixed more.I usually leave conditioner colors like this on for 4+ hours but I was short on time and only did an hour and a half with this dye and it still did the job. It absolutely does stain skin pretty bad so be careful. I’m super happy with this and you can’t beat the price for this level of staying power! Repeat customer for life!

Have used Adore 104 to brighten fade of permanent auburn dyeand demi-perm tooAm now retiring these perm & demi-perm dyes to just semi perm as i grow outmy now 100% grays unwilling to go fully gray tho!I'm impressed that Adore 104 tints my gray root grow out pretty well! (big plus as this has zero unpleasant smell)Fades out completely on gray slowly over two weeks ~4-5 shampoos but can touch up as i go whenever! without damageAdore thank you for taking the stress out of growing out my gray hair! so i may not have to go gray! LOLWant to try instructions for use on fully gray hair which are: use a protein filler and leave color on hair under a cap for up to 40 min.s

Color accuracy: booooColor efficacy: YAYI read the other reviews so I was prepared for the color to be potentially a bit off, but WOW. I ordered dark sienna and it was straight up BURGUNDY! This is how it looked after 5 washes, so some of the brightness has faded, but still super red. My starting hair color was a natural dishwater blonde with a few greys, for reference. For a good brown, maybe I should have gone with mocha?The color is potent and seems to last much longer than comparable products which I have seen fade by 75% within 5 washes. For the application, I began with dry hair that hadn't been washed for a few days and had air dried after swimming in the ocean. I applied the whole bottle for slightly thicker medium-short hair. Wrapped in plastic wrap and went out in the afternoon summer sun for some yard work. Probably cured about an hour. I would use this product again and recommend it as long as you're not too particular about getting an exact color.

I am obsessed! I bought a whole bunch of colors. I was hesitant because I’ve been loyal to Manic Panic for YEARS! Any other brand I’ve tried just didn’t come close. But these were phenomonal! They come out like a gel rather than a cream, and sometimes the dye color does not look like the color it turns the hair!! I got a blue one that looked purple when I put it on, but it definitely turned my hair the blue I wanted!! It smells good, works well! Definitely worth it for me. Good value!

I wanted something semi-permanent that would highlight the grey/silver in my hair. You can be the judge by the pics but I think it hit the mark. I probably used about half a bottle? And for a heating cap, I wrapped my head in a small plastic bag, topped it with a wet towel heated up in the microwave and then another plastic bag for 15 mins. I may try longer next time.
