  • A: Dark and Lovely Fade Resist is suitable for all hair types and textures.

    Brand expert
  • A: all types of hair. i have applied to bleached hair and virgin hair. results are healthy, but on bleached porus hair it will fry it. I asked the company on social media if this is bleach and they said NO, it is a lightener, i proceeded to tell them the product bleached my black shirt like the box bleach and they said like any hair dye products, the product will stain. This is bleach. since the review, i have done my hair 2 more times, and damaged the already blonde bleached hair like chickle, gum stringy hair, that i had before the review. total regret. this is an update on my review. Ill still use it after my hair grows out. i love the price and results.

Q: Should I wash my hair or apply dry before dying? Since the kit doesn’t contain a neutralizing shampoo, do you need one when applying this brand?

submitted by Chevy - 2 months ago
  • A: Hi Chevy! Thank you for your interest in Dark & Lovely Fade Resist. This haircolor should be applied to dry unwashed hair. Follow this method if you colored with this shade or something similar and it has been 4-6 weeks since you last colored. - Using the tip of the applicator bottle, make small sections and apply the color mixture until all the roots are saturated. - Set timer for 20 minutes if you have natural hair or 15 minutes if you have relaxed hair. - To refresh ends, spread the remaining color mixture through the midlengths and ends. After hair is saturated, set timer for 10 minutes if you have natural hair or 5 minutes if you have relaxed hair. - Rinse thoroughly. - Condition with Moisture Mask 2-3 minutes and rinse!

Q: How soon can I go swimming in a chlorinated pool after using this product?

submitted by Strix - 11 months ago
  • A: Hi Strix. Thank you for your interest in Dark and Lovely Fade Resist Rich Conditioning Hair Color. Chlorine can fade haircolor or cause hair to become dry or dull. It may even discolor the hair. Color-treated, permed and highlighted hair is more vulnerable to the damaging effects of chlorinated water. There is no suggested waiting period for swimming after coloring or highlighting your hair. We suggest you wet your hair with tap water before going into a chlorinated pool and shampoo your hair immediately upon leaving a chlorinated swimming pool.

The hair dye offers a vibrant color experience with easy application and nourishing properties. Many guests appreciate the rich shades, particularly the vivacious red, which provides a bold look while keeping hair soft and healthy. The included moisture mask enhances the overall experience, making it suitable for various hair types. However, results can vary based on hair color and type, with some guests noting that the dye may not show as vividly on darker hair. Overall, it's a great choice for those seeking a reliable at-home dye.

    Love the color

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Dark & Lovely Fade Resist in Vivacious Red delivers a bold, vibrant color that really stands out right after application. The shade comes out rich and eye-catching, especially on pre-lightened or lighter hair, and it gives a nice shine that makes the color look healthy and fresh. The conditioner included helps keep hair feeling soft instead of dry or brittle, which is a big plus for a permanent dye. Like most reds, it does fade gradually over time, but it holds up fairly well if you use color-safe products and limit washing. Overall, it’s a great choice if you want a bright, confident red without spending salon prices.

    Allergic Reaction to Color 378 Honey Blonde

    I am writing this review so that others can know that dark and lovely color number 378 Honey Blonde has a high level of chemical that will leave your eyes burning and nose burning. I colored my sister hair on Saturday, and minutes after coloring her hair experienced a painful allergic reaction from this product. Eye pains in the inner eyes and nose pain in the back of my eyes and nostrils. This product should not be used on children. Today I had to go to urgent care and received prescribed eye drops for the nursing and pain.

    great color, awful gloves

    The color and longevity of this is pretty good. I do it about every 5 weeks. What I have an issue with is the gloves. they are so thin and ALWAYS stain my hands. The color itself is really great, but maybe buy other gloves

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this color! It’s bright,bold, and shows up very well on dark hair. The formula is easy to use, doesn’t have a strong odor, and left my hair feeling soft and looking shiny. If you looking for a easy step by step hair dye this definitely the one to buy

    Hair Dye

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Instructions were easy to follow and apply. However, I would say the color is more of a copper/orange than a true “red” nonetheless though the pigment was really great and dyed my hair beautifully. I felt that it didn’t damage my hair whatsoever and was really hydrating actually which I loved.

    Fade Resist is a WINNER!

    My hair has never been so smooth and frizz-free! Fade Resist was easy to apply, effectively managed my new stubborn grays, and the Moisture Mask that comes with it? PHENOMENAL! Please product that product in larger quantities, because the small tube runs out quickly. I absolutely LOVE the no-fuss approach to Fade Resist and will continue to purchase it as often as needed.
