oVertone Haircare The Remedy

Edit: Overtone was kind enough to reach out to me regarding this experience. I know it’s not the normal and I’m changing my rating because I truly so love Overtone products. I won’t be buying this particular product again probably, but I’m excited to continue using their dyes. The copper turned out stunning and using it on its own this time has left my hair feeling better. Thank you for the customer support you showed, Overtone 🤍 I will say, Overtone makes wonderful products. Usually I rarely have an issue with their dyes or toners. The copper dye I also ordered was lovely and left my hair feeling nice and soft. However for the first time I decided to try a more diluted copper hence I bought this mask to mix it with. Same dye. Mixed with this mask at a 1:3 ratio. It felt odd, thick and almost crusty when worked into my hair. I had so much trouble getting a good spread because it literally started stiffening. I’ve never experienced something like this. The test section I did didn’t originally have much of an issue. Yet once coated on my hair it was a disaster. Washing my hair out 10 minutes after application resulted in clumps on hair falling out even with being gentle. When trying my hair, more clumps fell out. I’m devastated because my hair is something I cherish. I chose this mask to dilute my dye because I didn’t want to ruin my hair with bleaching. Ironically it felt worse than bleaching. Overall: I’ll still 100% be buying Overtone products. But if you have fine hair. Please be careful with this and test it beforehand. I’m not sure if I received a bad batch maybe? This doesn’t seem like the norm.

I had been using an expensive weekly deep conditioner from my hair salon that just wasn't worth it. I had used Overtone for color last year and it left my hair amazingly soft so I thought I would try this. I have greying hair as well (mostly brown with salt and pepper with about an inch or two around temples) so I mainly use purple shampoo/conditioner for my usually weekday washings. I wasn't sure how this would make my greys look or feel. Welp, it's now my go to deep conditioner. I use it about once per week and it leaves my hair soooo soft and bouncy. The greys are well conditioned. It does not give them that bright silver/white kind of color of purple shampoo though - more a soft brown/grey but I love it. The past two times I visited the salon she was shocked by how great my hair looked because it had been getting so dry and wiry between visits before. Two things to note though. I wish this had that strong minty smell of the color conditioner. It doesn't smell bad but eh...Also - this is a putty like texture and although I had thought I rinsed well the first time, it needed more rinsing. So really get in there and to rinse it all out. I had kind of pasty glob hair the first time I used it. Just a learning curve issue - otherwise I love it!

This conditioner is less expensive on Amazon than it is on the website. The product is great for detangling hair, a very good conditioner.

Overtone changed the formula recently so now this product smells bad. That’s a shame because for me, it’s the only product I’ve found that makes my curls soft and defined. I tried masking the smell using another conditioner on top afterwards and great smelling styling products but it did not work.

Ya know those wonderful little packets of conditioner you get in box hair dyes? Ya know, when your hair smells incredible and it feels so soft that you can’t help but run your fingers through it all week long? People complement you on the scent if your hair? This conditioner is the next best thing. My fingers are obsessed with it, and if you’ve ever used Overtone semi-permanent hair color, you know it smells yummy. I can’t find anything closer to the wonderful little packet in a box of hair color. Highly recommend!

It’s odd that a moisturizing mask would turn my hair to a dry, rough, straw like texture. It turns out it includes some ingredients that can contribute to this: Linum Usitatissimum (Linseed) Seed Oil, which can act as a varnish and make it hard for moisture to penetrate hair, and animations, which is a form of silicone, and silicones also contribute to build up and dryness. It turns out amazon sent the old formula. The new formula does not include these two ingredients. However the new formula includes pea protein and those concerned about protein overload would best avoid that. Used once and my hair suddenly looked and felt dry and rough. Will return

Makes my dry hair moist and soft. It is costly but worth it

Best hair mask I have ever used, smells great! Left my hair super soft and shiny!!!
