Ritual Semi-Permanent Hair Color - Vegan, Cruelty-Free - 4 fl oz

I had recently gotten my hair colored at a salon to be a dark cherry cola using a demi-permanent solution. Absolutely loved it, but I want the color to pop a bit more until the next appointment later down the line (in this economy? it’ll be a while lol). Mixing this shade - Ritual - with some conditioner (plain white kind) was just the solution I needed as a weekly helper.I just added a few good squirts down into the bottle and shook it/mixed it really well. After shampooing, I lathered it in and combed it through to get every strand, covered it with a shower cap to finish showering (left it in for maybe 10 minutes or less), and then rinsed it with cool water.I know Arctic Fox’s line of semi-permanent colors are very gentle, but it paired with the conditioner I use made it feel so silky smooth. I used to use a lot of their purple and violet shades in the past to do this same thing with platinum blonde hair to keep brassy tones at bay without always using toners with developers to minimize damage. Worked really well, so I knew this would do the trick.Just that little bit was enough to make it pop again. Love it. I’ll be grabbing another bottle in the near future to keep on hand because it’s more affordable (compared to paying for conditioners that do similar pushing double the price), smells great, and the color is lovely with just the right amount of red hues without being TOO red.I highly recommend the Ritual shade if anyone is looking for a deep wine-colored tone that stands out.NOTE: If you end up doing this type of mixture like I did as a refresher, but you go to a stylist for coloring, be sure to let them know beforehand so they’ll know you added a semi-permanent color conditioner mixture on top of it (as they often use demi). It’s obviously a vegan formula that is safe without any harsh chemicals that washes out easier where most will do their own coloring at home using this bottle and be done, but your stylist still needs to know since you’re essentially adding a stain to the hair on top of the color that they used that penetrated the hair cuticle using demi-permanent dyes. That way if you ever want to change your color up or even refreshen everything and do root touch ups, they’ll know exactly what needs to be done to get you that color by knowing what is put on the hair.

Ok so here’s some pics. (I dyed this over very faded Arctic Fox “Virgin Pink” and did not dye the top of my head)The first one is the day I did it; the second is the day after (both in the sun). You can see it somehow manages to be both warm red and cool purple at the same time. Confusing... it honestly was a bit more cool-toned purple than I was hoping for, but not too bad.The third and fourth pics are a week after, both in regular inside light (daytime), and then under a bright “happy light”.Fifth picture is 2 weeks later, and sixth and seventh are 3 weeks later (inside and then in the car under the sun).This has actually probably become my favorite color (second to my natural color). I have a warm complexion, with a deeper tone, and I like the way the dark burgundy goes with it. My eyes are light yellow-amber with a small hint of green, and I think that the color could stand to be less purple (like I mentioned) to really go with my eyes, but it doesn’t look too off.The color has lasted pretty well for me, but I only wash my hair two to three times a month, and when I say “wash” I mean rinse with water (I don’t use shampoo). So naturally it will last longer on me than someone who is washing it multiple times a week.The only thing I don’t like is the scent. Artificial fragrances bother me, and it’s a strong smell. Also your hair will smell like it perpetually. But, it didn’t give me a headache or anything, so that’s good. Also, after dying I rinsed this for a LONG time and the water still didn’t run clear. Eventually I decided to just let it be, and it continues to rinse pink every time I wash it (I think I have two times so far). I didn’t have that experience with the Virgin Pink color, but it’s not really a bother. Both this color and Virgin Pink stained the collars of my shirts and coats though... so be prepared. I’d hope the color would eventually come out in the wash?One last important note is that I put the dye on at night, put a cap on, and slept with it. The very first time I used Arctic Fox (the Virgin Pink) I didn’t do that and only left it on a little over two hours. It faded really fast that time, so the next time (still Virgin Pink) I left it overnight and it was a lot better. So I do that now.

Not the color I thought could be my fault though. I do like it though. I dyed a blond human hair wig with it today. Now, the wig could have been treated with something and I Did NOT wash it first..... My fault. I could have changed the results. But... I do think my wig looks amazing and better than it did before my impulsive shenanigans this evening. Got a lavender with a pink vibe. Feel like I have happy hair and I can live with that.

I purchased Ritual and used it over my naturally black hair that I had highlighted first. The color came out beautifully — vivid and really well-saturated.I had heard that Arctic Fox is known for long-lasting color, so I had high hopes. However, since I wash my hair every day, I noticed the color bleeding in the shower for the first two to three days. After that the bleeding stopped, but by the end of the week the color had faded quite noticeably.That said, it doesn’t damage my hair at all, and the scent is absolutely lovely. I’m genuinely enjoying using it, and I’m looking forward to trying other shades and mixing colors in the future!

Beautiful color paired with wrath and turned out exactly as i wanted and lasted longer than expected

I love how vibrant the color looks. It is easy to apply and gives my hair a beautiful, noticeable result. Great option when you want to change your look without permanent color.

The color I bought is advertised as a deep brownish red/ purple hue. On my medium blonde hair, it turned out pink. It’s pretty, but not at all what I was looking for. It also refuses to stick to my front roots for some reason so that looks a little silly. Application wasn’t terrible and it smelled good, but took forever to rinse out. I probably won’t be buying again, especially due to colors incorrectly advertised.

Love the color. Doesn't last a super long time but it's not terrible. Really depends on your hair type.

Compré el Ritual - guinda. Tenia ya un tono muy amarillo que no me gustaba y por las buenas reseñas decidí probarlo, pigmento muy bien y me dio un efecto balayage muy bonito. El olor es increible, nada parecido a los que había usado anteriormente y el cabello lo dejó super suave.10/10.

This is an amazing hair dye, it’s just like a conditioner to my hair no baddies and no harmful ingredients

Parfait

Die Farbe ist super , dagegen kann ich nichts schlechtes sagen , pflegt die Haare beim färben und ist heftig intensiv.Aber wenn ihr die Farbe wollt : KAUFT NICHT HIER !! Für den Preis bekommt man auf einer anderen Seite die doppelte Menge!! Und diese Größe kostet auf der anderen Seite 12,99€Ich dachte für 20€ bekomme ich 8 Oz und habe mich beim Erhalt meines Paketes verarscht gefühlt.

Fantastic temporary dye. The colour is vibrant and washes out slowly after a few months. My daughter had dark brown hair and this still came through beautifully.
