Overtone Espresso Brown Hair Mask- Semi-Permanent Hair Dye & Color Conditioner- Vegan, Ammonia-Free, Rich Brown for Brown & Blonde Hair

A: No, we wouldn't recommend applying it after you've flat ironed your hair or after you've applied styling products. For the best results, we recommend applying it to clean, dry hair that's free of styling products. This allows the pigment to deposit as evenly and effectively as possible.

A: For your waist-length hair, we'd recommend two tubes to make sure you get full, even saturation from root to ends—especially with your length!

A: The structure of the plastic or acrylic strands in synthetic wigs are different from strands of human hair, and that difference definitely matters when it comes to oVertone. Our conditioner works by depositing pigment under the hair's cuticle onto the strand itself, but the pigment from our conditioners just sits on top of synthetic strands and won't absorb into them. Since that's the case, once you rinse the conditioner out of synthetic hair, all that color will slide off the strands and go right down the drain.

A: You’re good to swim—but timing matters! We recommend waiting at least 24 hours after applying so the color fully absorbs. After that, it won’t “leak,” but some color may lightly rinse out in chlorinated or salt water—especially with more vibrant shades. Pro tip: wet your hair with clean water + add a little conditioner before swimming to help protect your color!

A: Great questions—here’s what to expect! Scalp staining: It can lightly tint your scalp during application, but it’s temporary and typically washes off within a few shampoos (and many customers say it stains less than traditional dyes). Amount for your hair: With thick, medium-to-short hair, one container is usually enough for full coverage—but if your hair is very dense, you may want a second just to be safe and fully saturate every strand. Pro tip: fully coat your hair (like a mask!) for the most even, vibrant result

A: Yes—this is a gentle, semi-permanent color conditioner that’s safe for younger teens with supervision. It’s ammonia-free, peroxide-free, and conditions while it colors. We recommend a patch test first and using gloves during application. Results will vary based on starting hair color.

A: Our Color Depositing Treatment Masks and Daily Conditioners are non-damaging. They’re semi-permanent formulas that deposit pigment on top of the hair rather than using ammonia, bleach, or developers to lift your natural color. In fact, they’re conditioning-based formulas designed to help leave hair feeling soft and hydrated. As with any product, individual reactions can vary, but they are formulated to be gentle and safe for regular use. If you ever have specific hair concerns, we’re happy to help!

A: The color can bleed a little bit while your hair is wet! But if you leave the conditioner in your hair for at least the minimum recommended amount of time, most of the pigment should be soaked into your strands and won’t budge (or stain your shirt if you get caught in the rain).

A: Great question! Overtone is made with nourishing ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, and avocado oil to help hydrate and soften—even fine or thin hair. It’s ammonia- and peroxide-free, so it won’t dry out your strands like traditional dyes.
