Weekend Things + Orange Hair Vlog

For those of you who are interested in how Overtone color depositing conditioners work, I uploaded a video of when I recently colored my hair orange. So, here’s the deal with the color: It looks rad . . . if you don’t have awful roots like I do (I know I mentioned this the other day). I probably won’t be keeping the color BUT, BUT, BUT -- the products work beautifully and leave my hair shiny and manageable.

Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel! I’m working to make weekly vlogs in 2016, and I’m always open to your topic ideas, FAQs, and other suggestions.



Everything you need to know is in the video, but here’s a rundown of important info:

• This stuff is color depositing conditioner, NOT hair dye
• It is made from safe, chemical-free ingredients
• Works best on light hair. But EXTREME strength will cast color on all hair.
• Use gloves unless you want colorful hands.
• This stuff washes out -- without refreshing -- after about 2 weeks.
• You can blend colors to get a custom result. They even sell kits of custom colors.
• Applying on dry hair gives the most vibrant result.

This post isn’t sponsored. Here’s where you can find Overtone. Here’s another post I wrote a while back about My Purple Hair. And here’s yet another post I wrote about how to Dye Your Hair with Henna from LUSH.
