5.0 out of 5 stars This hair dye is IT - I have found my go-to!
By Katy Sidra on August 10, 2021
Okay, y'all - I'm about to rave!
I have been dying my hair crazy colors for years, so I've used a lot of different brands. Right before discovering Kiss Tintation, I had used Arctic Fox for the first time and found the results to be decent, but lame. I normally go for pink-toned crimson reds, so the first color I used was Crimson from Kiss after randomly discovering it in Dollar General. It was cheap, so why not? My hair was already so boring, it couldnt make it any worse.
I am telling you, that Crimson LIT MY HAIR UP! Vibrancy TOP KNOTCH. Not only was the end result perfect and spectacular, I fell in love with the Kiss formula. Crimson is very similar to Flaming Orange in viscosity and texture. When I first saw how transparent Crimson was, I thought, "huh!?!" Because I am so used to thicker, opaque formulas like Manic Panic, Arctic Fox, etc. At first, I thought it was weird, but now I realize how perfect it is for at-home hair dye.
The thicker dyes can be hard to saturate fully through your hair, but with the Kiss colors, it's SO EASY due to the gel-like consistency. And the SMELL!? It's so good, I dream about it! THE BEST TRICK TO SATURATE YOUR HAIR AND AVOID PATCHINESS IS TO BRUSH THE DYE THROUGH YOUR HAIR. I do this with box dye as well. As you can see, I have thick, long hair. I use about half of the 5oz bottles of the Kiss Tintation. I always get away with using ONE bottle of product by brushing meticulously.
The color in my photo is Flaming Orange, as I recently decided to go to the more orange/fire toned red. Both Crimson and Flaming Orange are Level 5 and worked perfectly for my hair. The second photo is when I used Crimson.
I started off with box dye based in colors that were the tone I was looking for, with my root and regrowth being dirty blonde. My hair isn't crazily lightened - just processed by the box dye. When I have Color Oopsed my hair, underneath I always have a lightish blonde ginger hair. Point being, this dye is potent and vibrant even on darker hair. My colors in the sunlight are out of this world - I get heads turning toward me all the time 😂
Seriously, I LIVE FOR THIS DYE. The other colors I have used were Neon Orange, right before the Flaming. I knew Neon would wash out of my hair quickly, so bought Flaming at the same time. The Neon was FUN! But, as suspected, didnt quite last, but on very lightened hair, it will be amazing. My brother used Jet Black on virgin hair which DID NOT work. Washed all out, but I think that's to be expected.
I'm obsessed and hope they never stop selling it! I want to try more colors! The consistency is great, smell 100%, staying power is lengthy and the results are ridiculously vibrant and beautiful! Out of all my years of trying dye, I think this is the best one so far. And the PRICE!?! COME ON. Doesn't get better. I now only spend about $15 to do my own hair and get really amazing results!
