Lunar Tides Semi-Permanent Hair Color (43 colors) (Cranbaby, 8 fl. oz.)

I used this on my already color treated hair. I usually lift my hair to about a level 5/6, and then I would mix red and violet for a nice plum color. I have been doing this for years and finally wanted to switch it up. I wanted to get my hair to a really deep blue, almost black. I did a strand test first, and I really liked the outcome so I went ahead and did all my hair. It's almost exactly what I wanted to achieve, just not as blue as I'd hoped. This dye doesn't have a strong smell, it's nice and thick, which made for an easier and less messy application. I definitely recommend to anyone thinking of buying Lunar Tides.

I’ve been loyal to Arctic Fox for like a decade. I liked the brand better than Pulp Riot, which my stylist uses in the salon, so I always brought AF to my appointments and used it at home for touch-ups in between. For whatever reason, I felt pulled to branch out and try Lunar Tides recently. The reviews had me sold and I loved the shade range, so I figured, what’s the harm? I bought Cranbaby for most of my head, and Petal Pink for my money piece, and took them along with me to my appointment at the salon. My stylist had never used this brand before either, so she made sure to really saturate my hair in small sections to make sure we got even coverage. And my oh my, did it turn out like a dream. Cranbaby covered my faded purple flawlessly, but the best part of the whole experience has been how long-lasting it is for a red. Stylists and people with general knowledge of hair color know that reds are the hardest color to maintain. I fully expected this shade to fade to a pinky color before the one month mark, but it didn’t happen. I’m pleasantly surprised that I’ve finally found a red that is relatively low maintenance. I usually touch up my color at home every 4 weeks, but I went 6 weeks before I did it this time, and it wasn’t really out of necessity. Most of the color held up, it really only faded at the crown of my head where my shampoo is doing the most work. Although the floral scent of this brand isn’t as nice to me as the grape candy scent of Arctic Fox, that’s just a minor little detail that won’t stop me from repurchasing from this brand again and again. If the red holds up this nicely, I imagine the other shades will outperform AF as well. Petal Pink faded somewhat quickly, as is the nature of pastels and their lack of pigmentation, but with Cranbaby I don’t even feel the need to wash my hair in cold water to maintain my color, and that speaks volumes on the pigmentation and longevity Lunar Tides is giving me with this lovely red. I’m sold, I’m converted. I can’t wait to try out more colors.

This stuff makes your hair glow under black light. Js. I go back and forth between this product and another product (from THAT hair stylist guy), depending on what I have on hand. I like both. I'm a fan of the packaging of the Lunar Tides hair color. It's easy to work with and you don't have to worry about dumping water into your pot of hair dye. The color stains your hands (wear gloves), but I haven't noticed any staining of my (already destroyed) shower stall from it. When rinsing, the color STAYS. Very little rinses out. And it stays through multiple (gentle) washes. I applied it to bleached/toned hair and am very happy with the color. It does what you need it to do!

Alright so, I am a quick shopper even online, I’ll check reviews and pictures and maybe check out a YouTube video to see a better view of the color. I however didn’t notice it was vegan, I tend to avoid vegan products because simply I have not found any that meet my expectations for what I need or expect. I understand if it’s a lifestyle/ethical choice, more power to you, live your truth: but me personally, this brand now added to the list along with arctic fox are thumbs down for me. Arctic fox bleeds non stop everywhere, seems to permanently dye anything but your hair, and washes out in about 3 washes. Now with this product Pros: -it did not stain my skin, that was cool -it’s pretty thick so I did not make any kind of mess apply it, again cool -if you want like a fun little change for about a week, this is perfect because it washes out quick. -it didn’t bleed onto my clothes or bedding, or skin when washing my hair But that’s where the pros end Cons: - I couldn’t grip the seal so I used a safety pin to help me get an end up, some of the product came out on the safety pin and I saw even though it was thick, for hair color it’s fairly translucent. Red flag if you are experienced in regularly dying your hair 😩 if you want a lighter version or very temporary color it would be ideal, but for vibrance and hang time NOPE. -just when I rinsed it out, COLD WATER, and used no shampoo I could tell it was going to wash out quick, and I was right, it lasted about 3 washes total, pretty much gone after the 2nd wash honestly. My hair is not over processed or anything that would contribute to loss of color at that rate. I even use baby shampoo since it’s no harsh chemicals and honestly has helped preserve my colors better than any “color saving” products on the market. Another thing I didn’t favor was it didn’t stick to my freshly bleached roots. Again experienced hair artists know that usually will be the brightest spot, as well as bleaching helping seal color in if you do it correctly in a time period. So PRETTY MUCH if you want something temporary, or you’re wanting to test drive a color but not ready to commit; this is perfect. However if you’re looking for something that is long lasting, this is not it. May be a basic bih but I’ve been doing this for 17 years and have tried dozens of dye products and ion color brilliance I personally don’t feel can be beat. Extremely vibrant color, very minimal bleeding/transfer after coloring and even that just depends on the color, you may not get any bleeding or transfer at all. It also lasts a long time, as well as fades evenly so you won’t have splotchy hair as it fades, you’ll just go through lighter shades of Itself.

Love the shade, this is how it turned out on my highlighted dark brown hair. It DOES however bleed onto your skin quite a bit. My neck was pretty red EOD the first day after dying it. Almost feel like this shade is worth it tho!

We all know there are things we want to change about ourselves and most of us don’t have the patience or energy for all that. So I say color your hair: pink, purple, blue,green. I know all the hair stylist will gasp and faint at this comment, but it’s hair it will grow back(if for some reason it doesn’t, there are fabulous wigs to help with that too, imagine never having worry about what wash day it is or dry shampoo, I digress) You only live once so why be boring? Any color, all colors…you can’t go wrong. I love the vibrant colors of this brand.

Ive tried this product for the 1st time on my hair and my daughter's hair, we used 2 reds, 1 blue n 1 purple. I have been using loreal highlights red dye for the past 5 years but I've noticed it caused some damage so I was looking for an alternative and I happen to find lunar tides recommend by an IG influencer i follow. The best thing to happen to me. I applied to my pre-lightened hair and its been a little over a month and the color is still beautiful, a little faded but is looking better than the band I was previously using at also a better price. As far as the conditioning claims im not sure, since I've only used it once. Im assuming I'll see a difference after using it long term for a few months. I highly recommend, I really liked the product and I will continue to buy it again.

Pigment deposits unevenly, though the color itself looks pretty. Smells good for dye, but is a litte pricey fir the amount. I prefer unicorn hair by lime crime.

...alle Haarfarben von Lunar Tides sind top. Ich hab mich schon so durch manche Farben probiert. Bei mir halten sie super gut. Sie riechen mega gut. Ich freu mich immer aufs färben weils auch schnell geht und das Ergebnis top ist. Selbst wenn man sich irgendwann dazu entscheiden sollte die Farben raus haben zu wollen - auch das geht ganz gut. Besser als die Direction Farben die überall abfärben und sich im Haar beim waschen ausspülen.

Gorgeous color! If you have light hair it comes out looking amazing! However doesn't last too long but for a color that's neon I'm not too surprised. Easy to use did not stain stuff really bad like some do, I love this will be buying again!

Added no colour to my hair, like none. I followed all the instructions and got zero results.

Comprato per mia nipote che lo adora!!!

Très satisfaite de cette coloration. La couleur est intense, lumineuse et le rendu est vraiment très joli. Le produit s’applique facilement et se répartit bien sur les cheveux. La teinte correspond à ce que j’espérais et donne beaucoup de caractère à la chevelure. Très contente du résultat, je recommande !
