The Kiss Tintation Semi-Permanent Hair Color Treatment, priced at just $6, has become my go-to choice for a vibrant and stress-free hair color journey. I have purchased several colors - Platinum, Pinks, Teals, Dark Brown-Black and they DID NOT disappoint! Ease of Use: One of the standout features of the Kiss Tintation is its incredible ease of use. The application process is straightforward, making it an ideal option for anyone, regardless of their hair coloring experience. The creamy consistency ensures even distribution, and the product's user-friendly nature allows for hassle-free at-home coloring. I never experienced stains on my counters or walls even when my hair dying experience was pretty messy (not the product's fault, I am just sometimes kind of sloppy with my hair dye). Budget-Friendly Bliss: At a mere $6, the price of the Kiss Tintation is unbeatable. For those who love experimenting with hair colors but don't want to break the bank, this semi-permanent option provides an affordable and accessible solution without compromising on quality. Furthermore, the dye washes after several uses leaving your hair to be the clean canvas it was prior to the impulse decision of dying your hair pink! The color fades gradually and evenly which means even with one dye you can get several looks within a month! When I tried the berry pink shade I went from intense pink to rosegold overtime and I absolutely LOVED IT!!! Non-Damaging and Box Dye Alternative: In my non-professional opinion, the Kiss Tintation does not seem to damage the hair. It offers a great alternative to traditional box dyes, eliminating the risks associated with harsh chemicals. This makes it a safer option for those who want to switch up their hair color monthly without committing to a permanent change or suffering the drawbacks of ammonia dyes and unpredictable results of box dyes. With this product, you get the color you paid for every time! (results may vary based on your base shade, I used all the colors I purchased over light (not bleached) blonde hair) Fragrant Experience: Unlike typical box dyes, the Kiss Tintation also surprised me with its delightful scent. The pleasant fragrance adds a touch of luxury to the coloring process, making it a more enjoyable and sensory experience. I have always experienced major issues with box dyes that make me feel dizzy after spending 20-ish minutes in an enclosed space applying the product. Not the case here! The semi-permanent dye comes with a nice fresh smell. Color Longevity and Poolside Caution: The longevity of the color can vary. In my experience, it lasted a month under normal circumstances, but a few weeks only during a particularly active summer spent in the pool. Review: Color: Rose gold - #1. The first time I used this, it was too dark and I didn't like it. #2. I have reddish hair. I bleached it with Manic Panic Blue Lightning about 3 times, but it wasnt super light. Then I put some Manic Panic Virgin Snow toner on it for 25 minutes. Much to my surprise, it came out quite white, kind of a metallic chrome, very blah. So I needed color. I mixed some of this stuff (which, unlike Manic Panic, is semi-permanent, so I have to be careful), about 3 or 4 Tbp and added maybe 3 teaspoons of pastel-sizer. Then I glopped it on my hair, mixed it around, combed it through and left it for 20 minutes. It came out pleasantly rosy golden. Anyway, I like it. I'm going to try to leave a photo. Note: I only color the top front of my hair, just so I have shiny forelocks. ## Features - Tintation is a Semi-Permanent Hair Color Treatment for those who wish to be bold with their hair without compromising hair health.

(Colors in the purple family will hold the best. Pinks, generally, last the shortest.) •How many days do you wait to wash you hair again after the initial application? The longer you wait the better it will “stick” to your hair. •How often you wash your hair and what type of shampoo/conditioner treatment you use will effect the longevity of your color •Is you hair healthy? Damaged hair looses color faster no matter what brand you are using. •Do you like hot showers (specifically hot water over your hair) or cooler showers. Hot water and a lot of direct sun exposure washes out colors faster. •Did you follow the instructions correctly? I personally leave my color on a little longer than the recommend 15 minutes. With all that being stated I typically use blues, pinks, and purples for my pre-lightened hair (level 8+). The pinks fade first within 8-10 washes. Then the blues and purples are usually similar at over 20 washes. Usually I still have color left months later when I get time to reapply. This is the best color I’ve found and it’s not nearly as damaging as most colors/stains since the first ingredient is aloe. I highly recommend it and often do share my “Kiss” secret. **Q: What happens if you put it on dry hair?** A: If you put it on dry hair you'll get a better application imo but you will use more dye. It's not going to be patchy if you're careful and color properly and not just squeezing the bottle on your head and mushing it around like shampoo. I hate using dye on wet hair because it doesn't last as long so I rarely do what the directions say. I also keep it on my hair for 5-6 hours. **Q: By apply to towel dryers hair does this mean the hair should be damp?** A: as an ex-cosmo, i do not agree with this method as it is counter productive. you will get less overall pigmentation if you apply over damp hair, than you would with bone dry, blow dried, clean hair that hasnt been conditioned prior. my suggestion for a brighter more resilient color as long as your hair isnt overly damaged(porous) & you dont taking scolding hot hair washes in which case dont ever expect anything to hold, is to wash your hair in clarifying shampoo such as head and shoulders or any anti dandruff shampoo, & blow dry your hair with no product or conditioners, then apply for best results. when you apply to damp hair, the extreme centre of your hair the medulla of your hair follicle is already filled with something. water! instead of the product. so most of the product in turn, washes down the drain along with your money. its actually a poplar marketing tactic! & your directs dyes last half the time bc they never got a chance to properly absorb fully into the shaft of your hair. you follow this method by rinsing in cold water so the cuticle of your hair sucks closed & holds onto the color instead of hot water which will hold those little shutters so to speak open, allowing all of the color to rinse down the drain. now, the only exception to this rule! is that the more you damage your hair by over bleaching, the weaker those little cuticle shutters get, & are more unable to close. ever seen someones hair just not try or be super elastic & snap off after over bleaching!? yes, that is called porous hair & no toner. or hair color will hold there if your cuticle is burned away from excessive close in succession bleach abuse. and depending on your level of damage, youre suppose to wait a minimum of 3 days in between bleachings, to give your hair the chance to recover from being burned. otherwise you will most likely suffer breakage & thinning. its what will also will lead to patchiness due to the porosity. using conditioner or any product that contains moisturizers, silicone "damage repair" or waxes prior to direct dye application is only going to end in heartache, as the color will just bead off of the shaft that has been closed and waxed shut by conditioning shampoos & conditioners or products. silicones are also responsable for this. they hold those little shutters closed & fill the medulla, the center of the hair shaft with product instead of allowing anything else in. and there is actually a service we have to do for your hair after using too many of these cheap products such as dove, Pantene specifically, that remove all of that nasty silicone wax buildup because eventually nothing sticks & not even bleach will give you 100% coverage after over using waxy silicone based products. hope this helps!! to sum it up, as an ex-professional, ALL semi permanent direct dyes require always bone dry clean unconditioned hair, product free! that has been washed in a clarifying shampoo. because you dont want to fill your hair shaft with anything else before applying color & expect it to stick. damp hair will give you a tint instead of the full potency of the product.💖 **Q: What is the difference between the hair colors Jet black and Black?** A: jet black is darker probably more shine to it and black is like a flat black color ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vibrant Colors on a Budget *by G***A on December 3, 2023* As someone who loves experimenting with hair colors, finding an easy, affordable, and non-damaging option has been a game-changer.

I have been dying my hair crazy colors for years, so I've used a lot of different brands. Right before discovering Kiss Tintation, I had used Arctic Fox for the first time and found the results to be decent, but lame. I normally go for pink-toned crimson reds, so the first color I used was Crimson from Kiss after randomly discovering it in Dollar General. It was cheap, so why not? My hair was already so boring, it couldnt make it any worse. I am telling you, that Crimson LIT MY HAIR UP! Vibrancy TOP KNOTCH. Not only was the end result perfect and spectacular, I fell in love with the Kiss formula. Crimson is very similar to Flaming Orange in viscosity and texture. When I first saw how transparent Crimson was, I thought, "huh!?!" Because I am so used to thicker, opaque formulas like Manic Panic, Arctic Fox, etc. At first, I thought it was weird, but now I realize how perfect it is for at-home hair dye. The thicker dyes can be hard to saturate fully through your hair, but with the Kiss colors, it's SO EASY due to the gel-like consistency. And the SMELL!? It's so good, I dream about it! THE BEST TRICK TO SATURATE YOUR HAIR AND AVOID PATCHINESS IS TO BRUSH THE DYE THROUGH YOUR HAIR. I do this with box dye as well. As you can see, I have thick, long hair. I use about half of the 5oz bottles of the Kiss Tintation. I always get away with using ONE bottle of product by brushing meticulously. The color in my photo is Flaming Orange, as I recently decided to go to the more orange/fire toned red. Both Crimson and Flaming Orange are Level 5 and worked perfectly for my hair. The second photo is when I used Crimson. I started off with box dye based in colors that were the tone I was looking for, with my root and regrowth being dirty blonde. My hair isn't crazily lightened - just processed by the box dye. When I have Color Oopsed my hair, underneath I always have a lightish blonde ginger hair. Point being, this dye is potent and vibrant even on darker hair. My colors in the sunlight are out of this world - I get heads turning toward me all the time 😂 Seriously, I LIVE FOR THIS DYE. The other colors I have used were Neon Orange, right before the Flaming. I knew Neon would wash out of my hair quickly, so bought Flaming at the same time. The Neon was FUN! But, as suspected, didnt quite last, but on very lightened hair, it will be amazing. My brother used Jet Black on virgin hair which DID NOT work. Washed all out, but I think that's to be expected. I'm obsessed and hope they never stop selling it! I want to try more colors! The consistency is great, smell 100%, staying power is lengthy and the results are ridiculously vibrant and beautiful! Out of all my years of trying dye, I think this is the best one so far. And the PRICE!?! COME ON. Doesn't get better. I now only spend about $15 to do my own hair and get really amazing results! ## Frequently Bought Together - Kiss Tintation Semi-Permanent Hair Color Treatment 148 mL (5 US fl.oz) (African Violet) - Adore Semi Permanent Hair Color - Vegan and Cruelty-Free Purple Hair Dye - 4 Fl Oz - 116 Purple Rage (Pack of 1) - KISS Lift Up Complete Hair Bleach Kit with Revitalizing Plex Serum to Protect from Damage, Maximum Strength to Lighten Dark or Resistant Hair, Complete DIY 6-Pc Kit --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/110417282-kiss-tintation-semi-permanent-hair-color-treatment-148-ml-5](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/110417282-kiss-tintation-semi-permanent-hair-color-treatment-148-ml-5) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
