The black is a permanent one, Goldwell topchic 2N. i was going to use directions ebony but i didnt want it to bleed into the pink
What a heavenly pink..... Does anyone know what it fades to?
I've only just washed it once but i will update my fade as the weeks pass so everyone can see π
That's a really nice tone, looks like cherryade! (also looks super soft)
I've never heard of this brand until TheSealion told me about it in a thread (Thank you!) π
Nikki, if you could get the blue and purple shades in, that would be amazing! I think that the blue and purple shades fade and rub off so much from a lot of the brands, it would be wonderful to try something that actually might not rub off and stay for longer! Pretty pretty please *hugs*
This stuff is amazing.
I have been using it for many months and I just love it. I have used Ginger, Sunrise Orange, Orange Blaze, French Cognac, Cajun Spice.
I will give you guys a little pros and cons bit , as well as a few tips and tricks.
Pros:
highly pigmented, very easy to spread into hair, lasts a long time, fades nicely, doesn't bleed as much in the shower, doesn't stain my pillows as bad as other brands, processing time is shorter than other brands, mixes well with other colors (as well as SFX and Manic). Mixes really well with shampoo and conditioner for boosting color between colorings. one bottle lasts 2-3 as long as a jar of Manic Panic (for me). A wide range of oranges and reds.
Cons:
liquid, runny consistency. It is hard to tell what the color will look like while mixing colors because it isn't the same thick consistency as other brands and looks very dark coming out of the bottle.
Tips:
I apply this color with an applicator bottle, which I find easier than painting on other brands.
I dilute the color out with white conditioner to about a 4:1 (color:conditioner) ratio. This helps thicken the product a little bit and makes it easier to see what your end result color will be, which is helpful while mixing colors. I also don't feel like diluting the product made the color lighter or work any less than full strength. I leave the product on for 1-2 hours (depending on how much time I have), but the result is always the same though, very bright. I mix the product with my shampoo AND conditioner to help boost my color between colorings.
A little about my hair:
The first time I used this product I used it over Manic Panic Tiger Lily and SFX Napalm (mixed together, 3:1 ratio), over colored medium blonde hair, not bleached. I covered and blended great! I use the Adore dyes about every 3-4 weeks, and touch up my roots (with perm level 8rc dye) about every 8. My hair is always even root to tip, even if I change up my mixture a bit. My hair is very soft and healthy and I get complements constantly on the color. People are always asking who my stylist is! Haha!
Feel free to ask me questions about my technique, colors etc.
I have photos, but I'm too new to post them...

oh now I see!
First picture: Current hair color, very fresh. Taken in sunlight by a window. Sunrise Orange with a dab of ginger (diluted as above), over 8rc perm color on roots, and faded Sunrise Orange and Orange Blaze, half and half, on growth and ends.
Second picture: A few months old. Taken indoors, no sun. I know the mixture is Sunrise Orange and Orange Blaze, two parts each, and one part french cognac (then diluted as above), over 7rc perm color on roots and same faded adore mix on growth.
edit: I found my notes I had kept on the second picture, edited them accordingly.
I really like that color! Anyway us gals in the US can get it? I'm thinking I can use the Cinnamon to tone down this red and give it a more rusty finish.

The full range of Adore Semi Permanent dye is now on Beeunique to view - we are waiting on a couple of colours coming into stock with the supplier and after that all colours will be available to buy in around a week. In the meantime you can add a 'Back in Stock' notification and you will be emailed the minute your colour(s) are in stock π

Thank you! I get it at an African American beauty supply store. It runs me about $4 per 4 ounce bottle.
Oh my they have amazing gingers/orange shades, this sparks my passion for some copper shade hair D:
Ooh, thanks, this will be useful for me in the future when I start doing bright hair colours but need/want something more toned down π
