How ( And When ) To Use oVertone

We’ve gotten a lot of questions lately about how oVertone works, what it’s used for, and how long the color lasts.

In a nutshell, oVertone is a line of color depositing conditioners made to keep fantasy colored hair bright and bold 24/7, without the typical fading caused by washing, styling, and the like. While the oVertone conditioners are not hair dye, they can be used to deposit color on your colored or natural hair.

First things first – the oVertone conditioners come in two flavors:

Daily Conditioner

The Daily Conditioners are for use every time you shampoo your hair. They deposit just the right amount of color to keep you bright and bold everyday.

Coloring Conditioner

The Coloring Conditioner is a deep conditioning treatment that’s meant to  add a new color or to brighten and refresh a faded color. It will give your locks an extra-hydrating pop of color to keep them salon quality right at home.

You also have a bunch of different color choices:

The oVertone conditioners come in 30+ colors.

The Pastel conditioners are for anyone who wants a more subtle color. The Vibrant conditioners will give you a bold, rich color to keep your strands looking bright. The Extreme conditioners are just that – extreme. These are for anyone who wants to keep their color looking so electric that it could stop traffic.

Using the Daily Conditioner

Step 1: In the shower, get your hair wet and if you are going to shampoo, do it first.

Step 2: Apply oVertone Daily Conditioner liberally to your hair and distribute it evenly.

Step 3: Leave on for 3-5 minutes.

Step 4: Rinse with warm or hot water and repeat whenever you wash your hair!

Using the Coloring Conditioner

Step 1: Apply to wet or dry hair — we recommend dry hair for maximum color deposit!

Step 2: Apply oVertone Coloring Conditioner liberally to your hair and distribute evenly. Pay special attention to any places where you need an extra boost of color. Scared of stains? Use gloves!

Step 3: Leave on for 10-15 minutes.

Step 4: Rinse with warm or hot water and repeat weekly or whenever you need an extra pop of color!

How long does the color last?

The oVertone conditioners are not dye, and are intended to keep your hair bright with regular use.

Every time you wash your hair, you lose color by shampooing and rinsing. The oVertone conditioners replace the color that you’ve lost by depositing color immediately after washing.

Your strands will stay bold for as long as you use oVertone, and will begin to fade normally if you start using color-free conditioners.
