Orange is the awkward one. Go too bright and it reads as traffic cone, go too soft and it disappears into the blonde underneath. Dreamsicle sits in the middle: a creamy, warm orange with the sweetness the name suggests.

  • Soft creamy orange, vivid on pre-lightened hair
  • Vegan, PPD-free, ammonia-free and paraben-free
  • Conditions while it deposits colour
  • Semi-permanent, so it fades out rather than growing out

It behaves like every direct dye in the range. No developer to mix, no timer to obsess over, and the longer you leave it on the more pigment ends up on the hair. Apply it to clean, dry, pre-lightened hair, cover it, then rinse cool when you are done.

4oz pot. Suits anyone who wants warmth without going full copper, and it blends nicely into a blonde for a soft ombre.

Application tips

Smear a balm or a thick moisturiser around your hairline, ears and the back of your neck first. Orange stains skin more visibly than most shades and takes days to wear off.

Apply to dry hair, work it right to the roots, and clip it up. Half an hour does it. Rinse cool, skip the shampoo that day, and dry with a dark towel.

Results

A warm creamsicle orange on very pale hair, softer and more peachy where the base is not quite white.

It goes on as a thick cream and leaves hair conditioned rather than roughed up. Orange sits in the middle for longevity, brighter than the pastels and shorter-lived than the blues, and it fades toward a soft apricot that most people are happy to keep wearing.
