   Perfect for bleached hair
   I bought the coloring conditioner in the shade Vibrant Pink. I had bleached my hair between the levels 8-10. My virgin hair was originally a level 1 (dark brown, almost black). So while the color obviously didn’t show on my virgin roots, it deposited color very well on my bleached hair.My hair length reaches the middle of my back. I had to use an entire tub. I think for a more even application, I would have needed 1 tub plus at least 1/4 of a second tub. Be mindful of applying product on the back of your head. I neglected that area so while the color did show up, it was peachier and less pink than the front strands of hair that I could easily see and reach.The gloves provided in the box absolutely suck – they’re thin and come apart easily and have holes in the sides which defeat the purpose of protecting your hands and render them useless. Luckily I have a stash of disposable latex gloves. You will absolutely need them to protect your hands from getting stained. Immediately wipe surfaces if product splashes onto it. Small amounts of product lightly stained my white bathtub pink. Not the end of the world but something to be mindful of.Application is fairly easy. The consistency of the conditioner is like a goopy cream. It doesn’t drip so it’s easy to apply, but because it’s thick it’s hard to spread. This is why you have to use a lot of product to cover a lot of surface area.Any coloring product will smell unpleasant. This conditioner has a mint fragrance in it that attempts to cover up the unpleasant chemical smell. It makes it more bearable. Some people have stated that the smell is like toothpaste. I think it’s like a combination of chemicals and toothpaste.If you have sensitive skin like me, do a patch test on an inconspicuous area like behind your ear. Or apply a thin layer of Vaseline on the skin touching your hairline, including your temples, behind the ears, and your neck. For more protection, apply Saran Wrap on top of the Vaseline. I’m pretty lazy though and applied it directly to my hair and scalp, being mindful of not letting the product touch too much of my skin. My application wasn’t perfect so small areas of my skin had product on it. Those areas, plus my scalp, became slightly itchy and red. The itchiness disappeared a few hours after washing my hair out.I applied the product and loosely clipped it up with a large hair claw, then sat in a bath for about 40 minutes while watching videos to pass the time. The instructions say to leave it in for much less time. I don’t think 5-15 minutes will make a significant difference and will likely result in wasted product. I highly recommend leaving it on for at least 30 minutes, max 45-60 minutes.Rinsing out the product with water was easy. Took maybe a good minute to get it out. Although your scalp and hair strands will feel slightly heavy and sticky due to the deposited color afterwards, I highly discourage people from washing their hair with shampoo and following up with a separate conditioner. Shampoo and conditioners can make the color bleed out more. Everytime you wash with even just water, color will bleed. After first time application, just rinse with cool water, dry, and style, then use dry shampoo to avoid washing your hair often. This will prolong the life of the color.When the hair is wet, the color looked like a deep pink/light red. When fully dry, the color is a beautiful and soft pink, with a shade somewhere in between cotton candy and pastel pink. It’s not actually too vibrant, despite its name. This was exactly the color I was going for though.After reading reviews on the pastel pink conditioner, which were very abysmal, I’m glad I went with vibrant pink instead. With 1-2 washes, the color gradually fades into a beautiful and subtle rose gold. With 3-4 washes, the color is almost gone. With subsequent washes, the color is entirely gone. If you wash hair every two days while relying on dry shampoo in between washes, you can expect the color to last for about a week.If you want to maintain the pink, you’ll have to wash hair even less and/or reapply product every few washes. At $32 a tub for about a week’s worth of color, it’s pricey and not very financially sustainable. Knowing this, I bought the color just to have one week’s worth of a final hurrah before I’d permanently dye my hair back to black. I had fun while it lasted and I have no regrets!I have not tried other colors in this product line so I can’t speak on their quality. This product did its job and I was happy with the results. I’d recommend this to anyone with hair bleached to levels 8 or above looking for a week’s worth of a whimsical and feminine color.

   Amazing product
   I have copper hair but usually the color starts fading and getting dull after 7-14 washes (depending on the temperature of the water) so I’ve been trying other brands and none have met my expectations except for this one. The color is super bright, the perfect pumpkin orange for me, starts fading around 7 washes (using warm water). After using it the first time my hair was super healthy, I was struggling since it was a kinda damaged but now it’s amazing again.I have a wolf cut and my hair length is below my shoulders, so I used almost half of the bottle.I don’t think the photo does enough justice to the color but just for reference.I suggest purchasing the additional conditioner to keep up the color. I will definitely purchase again.

   Love the product, would prefer to buy direct rather than through Amazon
   This is a great product which I have been using for years. Typically, I purchase directly from the vendor’s website. However, recently I ran into issues on their website and NO response from them regarding resolving those issues. So, I resorted to purchasing from Amazon. I noticed that the packaging and the name of the color is slightly different when purchased from Amazon. This concerns me but the color looks basically the same, so hopefully it is the same product/same ingredients.If the issues on their site continue, I may have to take this as a sign that the company is changing and will start looking for a different product.I am not giving it 5 stars because I was so disappointed with the complete lack of customer support on the vendor website that basically forced me to purchase through Amazon.

   Love this stuff!
   Great temporary color that lasts about 7-10 shampoos. Easy to apply, but I do use gloves to prevent staining my hands and wrecking my manicure. I’m growing out my silvers so I just apply Overtone (I use the Espresso color) to my ends to remove the brassy tone during my 2-year grow out. I do leave it on longer than suggested (about 40-45 mins) and my ends once again have a beautiful chocolate color thanks to Overtone!

   Color POP!
   This product was recommended by my hair artist. I was going for a ginger glow which is what I found! This conditioner gives my hair a salon day look and feel! Great refresher!

   Good color but dry hair. Stains everywhere.
   First the color of my brown hair after using this I do very much like. My hair was a light brown with brassy highlights and now it is all one color dark brown. I did have to wash my hair 6+ times after putting the dye in it would not come out and stained the entire shower. I did also receive my order damaged and cracked and it was already spilling. This did make my hair extremely dry at the ends and now I need to cut the ends off. The color is great but it made my hair so dry.

   Didn’t work
   I bought the velvet black to use on blond hair. We followed the directions exactly as written, but it didn’t work. The hair ended up lightly tinted purple, but that’s it. I would have expected this kind of weak result from lighter colors, but I thought that black would be able to cover anything. For the price, this is very disappointing.(The goal was to be 1/2 and 1/2. The photo shows left side natural color, right side “dyed”.)The smell is very minty. I don’t like the smell but others in the home did.

   Changed formulation?
   I’ve been using the Ginger Coloring Conditioner for a while and reordered the same product I’d ordered several times before. The new one was called “Ginger Glow treatment mask” I checked that it was the same sku and just assumed that they changed the name. I got halfway through my hair with the old jar of Ginger, and when I popped open the new jar, was surprised to see that it appeared to be a completely different formulation and color. Too late to turn back, I finished the rest of my hair with “Ginger Glow”. The Ginger Glow didn’t seem to be as vibrant as the original formulation.

   I have dark brown/almost black Asian hair that’s natural on top and had been ombre bleached and dyed purple at the bottom. This conditioner worked wonders after my original purple had washed out, and the colour lasted way longer (3+ weeks? and this is without using Overtone’s recommended daily conditioner) than my original dye job did. The immediate colour is quite a vibrant dark purple on my bleached hair, but after about 10 washes starts to fade into a nice lighter purple shade mixed with some brown that starts to show through. On my natural dark hair, the purple appears as a subtle tinge that’s mainly visible under direct light/sunlight. I have mid-length, thin hair so the entire jar lasted me about 4 applications over the course of mid-October to start of Jan. Would recommend to those with lightened/lighter hair as a great way to try out fun colours! Those with totally dark hair, it’ll be a subtle look – plenty of video reviews on youtube will give you an idea of what to expect!
