AdoreShining Semi Permanent Hair Color Ocean Blue (176), 118ml

Easy to apply. Gives a good colour. I've bought many in the past. Washes out slowly.

I've been bleaching and using Adore dyes for about two years now, but I used to get them from another shop. I got them here because it was more convenient, though the price is slightly higher.I've never used this on unbleached hair, so I have no idea how well it sticks or how much colour it leaves. On bleached hair, it's amazing. The colour is always super vibrant. You may not always get the colour shown on the bottle, but that's more because of the base colour of the hair your dyeing over. I get very annoyed reading reviews from people who complain the colour wasn't the same on their hair. If your hair has yellow or orange tones in it, this will make the colour more peachy than the blue toned pink! I had this happen on my hair since it wasn't bleached perfectly evenly. Some strands are peachy. Same goes for if you dye over blue.The number one reason I prefer Adore dyes over others is that I can dilute it with conditioner and still get a lot of colour out of it. One bottle lasts me over ten applications. Currently my hair is a pastel purple and pink mix because I worked out it would be cheaper to buy two bottles, one pink and one blue, to make my own purple, rather than buying one bottle of purple. So you can mix these together to get an even greater range of shades. I'm never the same colour each month! The longer you leave it in, the brighter and more longer lasting the colour will be. This is true for unbleached hair as well. You don't have to worry about damage, this is like a conditioner that stains your hair. You do have to keep it moist though, so put a shower cap or plastic bag on top. I normally leave mine in for about an hour, but because of the pastels, I've only been leaving it in for about five minutes while showering and it still deposits colour, though it rinses out quicker.The second reason I love Adore dyes is that there is pretty much zero rub off. I can dye my hair, rinse, let it dry and not leave random colours all over my pillow. I don't worry about it running in the rain. I used to use Directions Plum and the rain made that run, it was very embarrassing.All in all, I really recommend this, it lasts for ages, smells great, excellent colour payoff and a wide range of colours.

I was experimenting and went from black hair to blonde and have decided that blonde doesnt suit me. So tried Adore 76 Copper Brown. Colour is very nice and true to advertised colour. However it was a bit darker than I wanted. So in a couple of days I have washed it off and tried Adore 56 Cajun Spice. I really liked this colour, it is very vibrant. Please be aware: it says to apply on wet hair. If you have very dry, coarse or damaged hair, it's best to apply on dry hair though. Dry/damaged hair is like a sponge absorbing water. This means there is no room to obsorbe dye, it will coat your hair very lightly with much lighter colour than it should be plus it will wash of literally after first wash. This is exactly what has happened to me when I followed instruction. Luckily I have bought two bottles and used second bottle on dry hair. Another tip: when washing it off after colouring, dont wash your hair for too long otherwise you will wash off the colour. It is really "temporary" hair dye and will wash off after 2-3 washes, but colour is lovely.

Absolutely brilliant. Very vibrant and lasts a few weeks. A great little top up in between permanent dying

Good product, definitely a good dye to help with temporary hair dyeing. Unfortunately it was much smaller then I expected, and for the price tag I was a little disappointed. Lovely results but won't be buying again due to the price.

I’ve washed my hair only twice since getting it done but the colour hasn’t faded at all. Haven’t used is yet on grey hair but that’s my next experiment.Had so many compliments on my hair after getting it lightened professionally and the colour added.Love it and well worth the money

Very happy with this product. Was really easy to apply and the colour turned out lovely. Not too harsh. Will definitely order again

Used purple rage number 116 for the picture but before that, used 186. I liked both colours which are very pigmented. Only down side is the colour fades very fast. Especially if you use a lot of conditioner and hair masks. Although I don’t mind giving it a top up once a week. So will use again.Before putting it on my hair, I did strand tests and mixed the dyes with a little conditioner to see the tones. I have uploaded the picture, as might help others decide what colour to get.FYI, my ends were platinum blonde, so colour took well.
