Creative Image Adore Hair Color Review

I recently purchased two of these off Amazon.com. I got one bottle of the color Orange Blaze #39 and Violet Gem #114. Each bottle is 4FL oz. The product is a bit thicker than most hair colors, but a little bit goes a very long way.

Each bottle was purchased for $5.50 with free shipping. Buy it here

The package directions are as follows:
1. Shampoo and towel dry hair.
 2. Use protective cream around the hair line.
3. Apply hair color 1/8″ from scalp and comb through.
4. Cover with plastic cap and process with heat for up to 15 minutes.
5. Rinse and shampoo completely.

Personally, I did not follow these directions. I graduated from cosmetology school in 2006 and have never heard of shampooing before applying color or putting color on towel dried hair. I washed my hair 24-48 hours before applying the color. I applied it to dry hair. I personally went right to the scalp but that is personal preference for each person as funky hair colors can/will stain the skin. I wrapped mine in foil, as I didn’t have a plastic cap. I left it in for about 30 minutes, no heat. I then rinsed, shampooed, and conditioned.

The color has now been in my hair for about two weeks and it has just started to fade, mostly at the ends. That is amazing, as even Manic Panic starts to fade instantly. This color gives great results. My hair was lightened to a dark neutral blonde before using this color. I ended up with true to swatch & product color. This product also makes your hair very soft. It has a really nice scent to it.

I would say the orange blaze has a nice fruity, citrus scent and the Violet Gem has a floral/fruity scent. But the scent isn’t over powering, it’s just a light pleasant scent.

I do suggest immediately rinsing your tub/shower every time you wash your hair as it will stain the tub (as do most funky hair colors). If you do not remember to rinse it right away just use some CLR (or a like product), it will come right off.

On a 1-10 scale:
Scent: 10
Color holding/fading: 8
Value: 10
Coloring ability: 10

Overall I give this product a 9.

Basically, the only thing that would make it a 10 is if it didn’t fade so fast. I hope you enjoyed this review. If you have any questions, please feel free to post a comment!
