Lunar TidesSemi-Permanent Hair Color (43 colors) (Cranbaby, 8 fl. oz.)

I got the "blood moon" dye, the smaller amount i think (??). surprisingly enough, despite the title container, i definitely had enough to saturate my full head, which i was not expecting but was pleasantly surprised with, given my hair is fairly long and not too thin either. i left the dye in for about an hour, it did take a WHILE to wash out completely, and i was taking a shower to do so, which got the dye everywhere, and lightly stained the rest of my body for a little as i was trying to scrub it off (not too bad the next day, though), so just be careful with that..that's probably just a user error, though. the staining was honestly not as bad as i expected, the dye seemed to be leaving a STRONG pink staining on my palms (admittedly, i forgot to wear gloves), but to my satisfaction, it actually was quite easy to scrub off after a while, and the next day my hands were just slightly pink compared to the crime scene i THOUGHT it would leave. really grateful for that..!!!!!! i am very satisfied with the color, and i think it definitely came out very vibrant and achieved what it was promising on the box (i didn't have my expectations set too high, but i got proven wrong), the dye job was only slightly uneven because *i* didn't apply the dye very well, so no qualms with that. the dye looks like it has a LOT of pink undertones in the jar and irl, but you can't see it in the pictures, but it really did come out a really nice true red on me, so i'm really glad about that. honestly, if i'd left it in for more than just an hour, i think it would've been perfect. really happy with how it came out, it felt very nice on my hair, and it came out really really great taking into account how amateur at dying my hair i, personally, am, and honestly how adequately priced it was. really good stuff 👍👍👍

Love this!!!! I bought the shade “cranbaby”. It’s a very potent dye, applied easily, didn’t irritate my scalp at all!!!! I applied to clean dry hair and let it sit for around an hour. I did not bleach beforehand, and my natural color was a dirty blonde/light brown. Not a very strong scent to it either!!!! Would highly recommend. My only gripe is that the 8oz bottle gets to be difficult to squeeze, especially once you get dye on the outside of the bottle. The color came out nice, very red and in person it’s very pink! A lovely dark pinkish red.

This stuff blew my mind. I’ve used so many brands of semi permanent color and this one washed out completely clear! How??? No purple running in the shower it was mind blowing. The orchid purple appeared super bright in the jar. I have dark hair but my previous purple washed out and I had some slightly bleached highlights I wanted to turn purple again. I did a spot test on a small piece and left it in for 30 min. It was a much deeper purple than I expected and not bright at all. So I went for it and covered my head, opting to keep it in for an hour since it wasn’t touching my scalp and I wanted it to be deeper color than the test spot. Unless it fades super fast, I can’t imagine anything being better than this! It had no bad smell at all, and yes- there were purple dye marks on the towel I was resting my hair clips on while I added dye to sections of my hair carefully, but no kidding, once I washed it out ZERO color leakage. Where did it go??? The dye is thick so it’s best applied with a coloring brush in sections. I had to rinse really good because I couldn’t tell if it was still in my hair since all the water was running clear!!! Incredible sorcery. Truly magical.

Alright so, I am a quick shopper even online, I’ll check reviews and pictures and maybe check out a YouTube video to see a better view of the color. I however didn’t notice it was vegan, I tend to avoid vegan products because simply I have not found any that meet my expectations for what I need or expect. I understand if it’s a lifestyle/ethical choice, more power to you, live your truth: but me personally, this brand now added to the list along with arctic fox are thumbs down for me. Arctic fox bleeds non stop everywhere, seems to permanently dye anything but your hair, and washes out in about 3 washes. Now with this productPros:-it did not stain my skin, that was cool-it’s pretty thick so I did not make any kind of mess apply it, again cool-if you want like a fun little change for about a week, this is perfect because it washes out quick.-it didn’t bleed onto my clothes or bedding, or skin when washing my hairBut that’s where the pros endCons:- I couldn’t grip the seal so I used a safety pin to help me get an end up, some of the product came out on the safety pin and I saw even though it was thick, for hair color it’s fairly translucent. Red flag if you are experienced in regularly dying your hair 😩 if you want a lighter version or very temporary color it would be ideal, but for vibrance and hang time NOPE.-just when I rinsed it out, COLD WATER, and used no shampoo I could tell it was going to wash out quick, and I was right, it lasted about 3 washes total, pretty much gone after the 2nd wash honestly. My hair is not over processed or anything that would contribute to loss of color at that rate. I even use baby shampoo since it’s no harsh chemicals and honestly has helped preserve my colors better than any “color saving” products on the market.Another thing I didn’t favor was it didn’t stick to my freshly bleached roots. Again experienced hair artists know that usually will be the brightest spot, as well as bleaching helping seal color in if you do it correctly in a time period.So PRETTY MUCH if you want something temporary, or you’re wanting to test drive a color but not ready to commit; this is perfect.However if you’re looking for something that is long lasting, this is not it. May be a basic bih but I’ve been doing this for 17 years and have tried dozens of dye products and ion color brilliance I personally don’t feel can be beat. Extremely vibrant color, very minimal bleeding/transfer after coloring and even that just depends on the color, you may not get any bleeding or transfer at all. It also lasts a long time, as well as fades evenly so you won’t have splotchy hair as it fades, you’ll just go through lighter shades ofItself.
