Ion Color Brilliance Brights Semi-Permanent Hair Color Mint

This is one of the most beautiful pastels I’ve ever dyed my hair with. I’ve always done bright jewel tones and decided to give pastels a shot. I found that most of them started off nice but faded quickly. This one lasts longer and fades slowly and looks gorgeous at all stages with no greying like most pastels. Photos show how it looks under indoor/outdoor lighting.

I purchased the Mint Semi-Permanent hair dye from Ion, and I am very pleased with the product! Other customer reviews for this hair dye say that it does not end up looking like the color on the box - however, after bleaching, toning, and dyeing, my hair is a nice, pastel mint color. I would recommend toning your hair before applying the dye, as the toner will remove all the brassy tones from your hair and allow the dye to stay true to the color advertised. HOWEVER, I purchased one tube of this dye and it was barely enough to cover my head, and I have a short, cropped haircut. I highly recommend purchasing at least two tubes, however long your hair is.

Pros:Color was even and not too bright(closer to pastel like I wanted)Cons:It was more blue than I expected.

I looooove this hair color. Love it. It's soft and perfect. I bleach my hair to near white and then leave on this dye for an hour or more. For me, the dye lasts a long time and doesn't rinse out after 2 washes. If anything, it just becomes a little more blue (less green) after a couple washes but still really nice! Attached are pictures of a fresh dye, and then a few washes later.

Normally I use splat or manic panic but thought I'd try something new. Bleached my light brown hair as always but the color barely showed up. Had to redye with manic panic. Waste of money
