Conditioner-based formula
A semi-permanent formula that delivers vibrant color with a smoother, cleaner coloring experience. Vegan, cruelty-free, and made without ammonia or peroxide for a gentler way to explore new shades.
Perfect texture
The conditioner-like texture makes the dye easy to apply — and less likely to drip where it shouldn't.
Less stain
It colors your hair, not your bathroom. Any excess dye rinses off surfaces more easily.
Less bleeding
Our formula bleeds less, meaning less color on towels — and less stress on hot, sweaty days.
Multiple coverages for different hairs
Starting shade matters! With ColorBox, you can create the same hue at different coverage levels, making it easier to match your base and expected fade. For vibrant results, pre-lightening is recommended.
Fades naturally over time
Semi-permanent color fades gradually with washing. In ColorBox app, each shade includes a coverage tag to help set fade expectations — Sheer and Light coverage shades fade faster, while Rich and Full coverage shades last longer. Hair condition and wash routine can also affect how quickly color fades.
