Blackforest Semi-Permanent Conditioning Colour

Blackforest is a rich neutral dark brown, almost black that works well with various levels of hair lightness. It's able to cover up other shades of dyes and even leaves a brown tint on grey hair! The fading process for Blackforest is quite a unique one. It first fades from a super dark brown-almost black colour to a more obvious brown shade. From there, depending on how the dye reacts with your existing hair, it may turn a dark ash blue-green or fade to a warm brown colour.

As Blackforest is super pigmented and long lasting, if you're the type who likes to change up their hair colour frequently, you can shorten the processing time or mixing it with our Suck It Up Hair Mask to make it less long lasting. The longer you leave it on, the darker it becomes and the longer it lasts.

You can also use Blackforest to darken other dyes that may be too vibrant for your liking! Simply mix in a tiny bit of Blackforest at a time till you see the colour that you like and apply it on your hair. Blackforest is also great for doing creative colours such as peekaboo looks or chunky highlights especially if you have a full head of bleached hair and want to change up your look for a bit.

Our dyes pop most on bleached hair, but some shades will still show on dark, unbleached hair under sunlight. Barbie and Riot give a red tint, and Gaia shows up as a dark green on black hair. On dark brown hair, Hey Tiger goes warm brown, Iris goes purple red, and Ocean goes green (all more visible in sunlight). Want something more obvious, or a shade not listed here? You'll need to bleach first, and Butter Bleach is a gentle at home option.
