Red is usually the color I order but this specific listing DOESN’T HAVE ANY RED. They say it’s red but it’s actually “magenta.” Don’t order the red from this listing. Order from other listings. Otherwise, this product is usually very nice and lasts months. Best red dye. No pre bleaching needed.

That the dye was a smaller bottle than I expected, I use the dye on my teenagers hair

Tenía el pelo castaño oscuro y este tinte me ha transformado el color. Me encanta. La única pega que le pongo es la cantidad, necesito dos botes para mi cabello (me llega por casi la mitad de la espalda), pero eso ha sido fallo mío por comprar 1 solo. Repetiré sin duda!

I have dark auburn hair naturally, this turns my hair pretty bright red. The red magenta fades to pink rather than orange.

The product came out absolutely gorgeous 😍. I have really dark brown hair and it transformed into a beautiful burgundy colour exactly as I wanted. Defo purchasing again. Came quicker than expected..

On Virgin hair it really went bright. On dyed hair it had a nice highlight of magenta. So I have a nice ombre fade from bright to dark. Looks really nice. Worked really well for me. I did the dark ends first left it on for 15 minutes and then did The Roots for 15 minutes and added more to the ends.

It came promptly and is exactly as described. I’ve used this brand before. If you have dark hair and want vibrancy, then this is the one. No need to pre lighten. I love it and usually mix it with the red but wanted a change. I’ll be buying again… thanks to the seller!

About my hair before highlighting:
I keep my hair in a pretty short inverted bob with blunt bangs. I’d been dying my hair black for years using brands like Feria. I decided about 6 months ago that I wanted to go back to red hair, so I tried Feria Violet Soft Black as a transition color, lightening the shades of red as my hair grew out. Big surprise, it didn’t really work out that well. Just prior to using the L’Oreal Hicolor for the first time, I had some pretty serious gray roots, which I was really concerned about turning pink.
After reading the various reviews on here, and then checking out a few red hair websites, I decided to try my hand at doing my own professional color using L’Oreal Hicolor Magenta Highlights.
Materials used:
L’Oreal Hicolor Magenta Highlighter (1.2 oz)
L’Oreal Level 30 Developer (2.4 oz)
Neutral Protein Filler (1.2 oz)
Rubber gloves
A smock
Hair color mixing bowl (Sally Beauty has nice bowl that are marked by ounces and have a brush “strainer” at one end – cost ~$3)
Hair color application brush
Hair color mixing wand
Comb
Tube of Eucerin Aquaphor moisturizer
Disposable shower cap
The Process:
I put on the smock and rubber gloves, then used the Aquaphor to protect any skin that I didn’t want to get stained by hair dye. (Note: This stuff is not nearly as bad as Manic Panic when it comes to mess and staining! In fact, it is not all that messy, in my opinion, especially when compared to Manic Panic!) To be safe, since I’d just moved into my house, I also put a tarp down, but I didn’t get any dye on the floor.
I blended together the HiColor Magenta, Level 30 Developer, and Protein Filler in the color mixing bowl using the mixing wand/color brush. It took about 15-20 minutes to get fully blended. NO JOKE. The resulting mixture was much more “watery” than store bought boxed hair colors, but not as messy as demi-permanent dyes, like Manic Panic.
Since my roots were gray, and the Developer lightens hair, I started with the darkest part of my hair and worked up toward my roots. I used the comb to periodically make sure the dye was equally distributed through my hair. It took about 20 minutes to apply the dye. I had leftover dye, since my hair isn’t very long. I washed it down the sink.
I put on a shower cap and left the dye in for an hour.
After an hour, I showered, rinsing the dye from my hair. The instructions tell you to shampoo and condition, which I did using TIGI Bed Head Re-Energize Shampoo and Conditioner in cool water.
The Results:
GORGEOUS bright, deep magenta hair. Just lovely. The original plan was to do the Hicolor as “Step 1” and then deepen the color using Manic Panic before going back to work after the holiday, but the color was so awesome and I got so many compliments from total strangers, that I kept it. It worked in my favor, too, as I ended up being sent to meet a potential client in Atlanta, who loved me (and my hair!). They ended up signing on with my company and bringing me down for some work in January. I did a second application of Hicolor Magenta in December and then mixed Manic Panic Vampire Red with Ultra Violet in January (resulting in a beautiful “boysenberry” color, however it was a pain to apply, and made a total mess in my bathroom… and on hotel towels for weeks afterward).
The biggest concern I had was my gray roots. Do your darkest hair first, leave the gray for last. It definitely comes out a bit pink, but results in a very cool gradient-like effect.
Also, to make it last, wash in the coldest water you can handle and use color-friendly products.
