*UPDATE 2021: I not longer use or recommend oVertone.*
Recently I have learned (through experience) that oVertone is not semi-permanent as advertised. It is very difficult or impossible to remove, even after not using it for 6+ months. I wish I had heard about this before I decided to try it out years ago. I recommend reading the negative reviews here thoroughly first if you are considering trying it. And if you are ever planning on lightening your hair after coloring it, I would recommend not using overtone. I thought oVertone would be a less damaging option for my hair, but it wasn’t worth it, and I wish I’d gone to a salon instead or found a better option. I threw away my leftover oVertone because I would never consider using it again.
oVertone also stained my bathtub, as I mentioned in my original review. I thought it was because my bathtub was very old and crappy, but I was always careful to rinse my hair after using it in our stainless steel sink in our new house just in case (since we had brand new tubs I didn’t want to risk staining). And a bunch of reviews on Trustpilot report people staining their bathrooms as well, so it wasn’t just me.
Original Post (2020):
I’ve been using the oVertone copper kit to color my naturally dirty blonde hair red for the past couple of years (and before that I used oVertone vibrant and extreme orange.) oVertone is a brand of vegan and cruelty free color conditioners–check out my past posts about them for more information about how I apply and use the conditioners.
I was intrigued when I saw that oVertone now offers a new ginger coloring conditioner meant for achieving a more natural redhead/light red hair look and decided to try it out.
Before trying the ginger coloring conditioner, I hadn’t colored my hair with the copper kit in about 3 months, so it was a faded red color and my blonde roots were growing out. (I don’t use the daily color conditioners anymore and just let the color fade until I decide to do another deep coloring condition.)
