L'Oreal Paris Colorista Semi-Permanent Hair Colour for Brunette Hair, Teal, 180g

I love this stuff. I have been coloring my hair with "unnatural" colors for over 20 years now. I started with Manic Panic at 13 and now in my 30's I have yet to go back to my natural color. I am also a former hairdresser/colorist so I have a LOT of experience with pretty much every brand of these semi-permanent colors. THIS IS MY HOLY GRAIL, RIDE OR DIE, BAE of the semi-perms for me.I decided a few years back to try the Feria Power Copper (C74). I love it but I have hair down to my butt and in order to keep it healthy, I only ever color my roots with the Feria. I then mix a bit of an orange or red/orange semi permanent color in with my conditioner and put that all over. It always turns out perfect. I am a fan of the Sparks (though I hate the smell!) and Special Effects (WAY OVERPRICED FOR WHAT YOU GET!) but I have found that the L'Oreal Tangerine is the BEST color and longest lasting. Seriously, this stuff is good. My hair practically glows.Full disclosure, I only wash my hair once, maybe twice a week. Because of this, this color lasts a ridiculously long time. It starts out a gorgeous deep red/orange and then fades orange to yellow/orange. It fades evenly as well. I usually only have to reapply this every 6-8 weeks.Why only 4 stars then? Well unfortunately, this does stain your hands and fingernails***. Most do because that's what a semi-permanent color is essentially-a stain for your hair. Since fingernails are made of the same keratin your hair is, it's nearly impossible to find a semi-permanent color that does not stain. L'Oreal includes an application brush and gloves so either use the gloves or just deal with the staining. For me, since I mix it in with my conditioner, the staining is minimal and usually washes away by the next day. The only brand I have not had stain is the Sparks brand. I really like their Orange Crush color, though it is a true orange (not red-orange like the L'Oreal Tangerine) so it fades quicker for me. It also smells like AXE and it seems to linger FOREVER! Gross LOL. But the L'Oreal smells really nice.***Although this stains my skin/fingernails, I have not had ANY issue with this staining clothing, bedding, my tub, bathroom tile/countertops, etc. This was a MASSIVE issue for me with other semi-permanent colors. I stopped wearing white for years because of it. But now I am able to wear white even on hot sweaty days! Yay!Second reason for the 4 stars is not a reflection of L'Oreal or the product itself. I have this on a monthly subscribe and save however, I am lucky if I receive it every month. It is almost always delayed, but often it is cancelled. I once went about 5 months straight with each order being cancelled. The first time, fair enough, it did say it was temporarily out of stock. The rest of the cancellations, the product was shown to be in stock. What gives Amazon? Why offer a service if you don't actually provide it? I freaking love Amazon, but this has been super frustrating.Overall I highly recommend, though you might want to skip the subscribe and save option if you are definitely going to need it delivered every month. Happy coloring!

I've been looking for something like this for ages. Hair color that deposits great color onto my natural unbleached hair.The attached image was taken the same day I dyed it with the burgundy color, my hair color is naturally sort of a light brunette that has never been color treated. I put the burgundy onto my clean dry hair and left it in for about 40 minutes. I really love it because it looks great and bold when you first put it in and then fades slowly overtime back to my natural hair color. The nice thing is that since you're not dealing with bleached hair underneath as the color fades out it doesn't look trashy and in fact just gets more subtle and lovely.I'd say it lasts longer than 4-10 washes, but I'll update it after I've had it in for longer right now I'm on day 4 and I do wash my hair daily.Update: After about 3 weeks with daily washing it has faded a lot, but you can still see a nice purple/pink hue in my hair where I put it especially in sunlight. I really like this effect, but if you want something that you put in and then washes completely out in a few washes this isn't the product for you.

It’s pretty good. Not a dud. Used it to get an ugly dark gray color out temporarily. Comes with multiple gloves and an applicant brush(which is nice because more expensive dyes don’t even have that.) I’d say 4 & 1/2 stars. When buying this product one thing is important to remember and that is SEMI. Unlike other not-normal colored hair dyes like splat and so on, this one actually will wash out of your hair within 4-10 washes depending on a couple of things:1. The shade of your hair, the darker your hair, the quicker it washes out.2. What kind of shampoo/conditioner you’re using.IMPORTANT: Depending on what shade your hair is, the color also changes. So for example if you have dark brown hair you’re going to get a very dark shade of the color. If you’ve got light or bleached hair the color is going to be extremely vibrant.TIP: Do NOT use this dye if you’ve recently got your hair colored(not bleach, dye coloring, bleach should be fine). It will not properly stick to your hair during the dying process. Wait about two weeks after dying to try it.

I am in love with this color. I only wish it didn't wash out so fast. I've been trying to use dry shampoo more often to make it last. I had 2 balayage treatments on my hair before this so my ends are a medium blonde, but my roots are a darker brunette. I used 2 bottles just because I'm messy and have super thick hair but I see that some people with long hair have gotten away with one. The first picture is taken in a dark bar with a flash and the second is taken in a sunny room without a flash.

i would rate this zero stars if i could. absolutely does not wash out, it has been over two months and i have DARK BROWN hair. do NOT purchase. it’s fun for the first few days but it’s absolutely permanent. between the dye and trying to get it out with shampoo my hair looks and feels destroyed. i am beyond frustrated.
