I love this the most out of all my color so far!! I liked the other ones but this is the most "Me". I used TWO bottles of Ion Blackest Black and it's still not that dark IMO for freshly dyed. I used a good squirt of Pravana Violet and a little Pravana Red, and ion titanium in the front streaks. Just a teeny bit, barely noticable. As it fades I might be able to make them brighter but I like the dark look so I'm in no rush to fade. (I'd love a better black rec if anyone has it btw, I posted in the dye section about that as well)
Indoor/outdoor, same time period. Just dyed, not washed yet. I'm scared to! Sorry the quality sucks I had to really shrink them.

Is the Ion black an oxidative dye? What vol peroxide did you use?

No peroxide, just the kind straight out of the bottle like brights are.

I love adore blue black. Its a great base for dark colors as its blue based. The only other one i have used is jet black but that one is brown based so i didnt like it as much.

+1 - I love Adore Blue Black as a mixer. I'd like to try it on it's own, diluted a tad, too - tried it on a snippet of hair and it looked gorgeous and rich with a crazy vivid blue shine under direct light, it looked almost luminous 🙂 I've been using it as a mixer a lot lately, trying to find my perfect shade of dark purple (ignore avatar, it's old!) It works really well mixed with Adore Purple Rage for a cool toned purple or Adore Violet Gem for a warmer dark plum (although more than a dash of Blue Black and it starts to turn muddy.. I found a mix of Purple Rage and Violet Gem worked best.) I'm currently experimenting with Arctic Fox as I had a hair crisis and it was the cheapest I could get via next day delivery - Purple Rain and Violet Dream both seem excellent stand-ins for Purple Rage and Violet Gem and I've found Virgin Pink goes less muddy than Violet Gem if I want to make a warmer dark purple - got a mix of Adore Blue Black, Arctic Fox Purple Rain and Virgin Pink on my head as we speak! I've been experimenting a lot lately as trying to find a shade that is purple enough to make me happy while also looking respectable enough to find employment as a tutor - once I've got the job and have convinced everybody that I can do it and am not, in fact, impaired by my hair colour, I'm going for Adore Aquamarine & Royal Navy 😀
Adore dyes are consistently my faves, lush colours and they don't transfer or run at *all* IME but I must say I'm impressed with Arctic Fox, not tested it's longevity as I keep changing it up but it has resulted in some lovely, bright, even colours with minimal transfer, and it's vegan too 🙂
Your hair looks gorgeous Cordula, the shade really suits you 🙂 <3
