I’ve had my hair dyed pink at the ends for nearly 2 years now so I was incredibly excited when I heard about Overtone in August. \u00a0Overtone<\/a>\u00a0makes “color depositing conditioner” — they combine hair dye with conditioner, so every time you condition your hair, you add a bit more color.<\/p>\n

Overtone makes two types of conditioner — Daily Conditioner and Deep Conditioner. \u00a0I have Extreme Pink in both.<\/p>\n

For the Deep Conditioner, they recommend you use it weekly and leave it in for 10 minutes. \u00a0I prefer to use every 2-3 weeks, but leave it in for a couple of hours. \u00a0My color doesn’t come out quite as intense as when I used Punky Color by Jerome Russell<\/a>, but\u00a0\u00a0the Overtone conditions better and makes less mess if I accidentally drip some on the bathroom counter. \u00a0I apply in sections with tint brushes and gloves and comb through to get good coverage.<\/p>\n

For the Daily Conditioner, I use it basically as directed. \u00a0I find I get the best results if I condition my hair in 4 or 5 batches instead of trying to get everything at once. \u00a0When I tried to condition my hair without sectioning, I was finding I wasn’t getting full coverage.<\/p>\n

I initially tried the Vibrant Pink, as I was worried by the recommendation that you should use gloves when applying. \u00a0I knew there was no way I’d want to use gloves every day in the shower. \u00a0I ended up switching to the Extreme\u00a0Pink, however, since I found that the Vibrant Pink wasn’t quite keeping my hair as bright as I wanted — it was more pastel rather than the Bright Fucking Pink I was going for. \u00a0I’ve been happy about the switch — my hands are a bit pink right after I apply the conditioner, but by the end of my shower, they’ve gone back to normal.<\/p>\n

For both types of conditioner, I make sure to thoroughly cover the bleached parts of my hair. \u00a0I don’t worry about it, however, if I end up covering other parts of my hair — my natural color\u00a0is dark enough the pink doesn’t make a huge difference.<\/p>\n

So, here’s what my hair looks like, freshly cut and relatively soon after using the Deep Conditioner:<\/p>\n

As a comparison, here’s what my hair looks like shortly after using the Punky Color in Flamingo Pink:<\/p>\n

The Overtone doesn’t come out quite as bright as the Punky Color, but it’s much easier to use, so\u00a0my hair stays brightly colored much more of the time than it did when I was using the Punky Color. \u00a0This makes Overtone the winner in my book!<\/p>\n

Also, thanks to\u00a0Offbeat Home<\/a>, where I originally heard about Overtone.<\/p>\n
