I grabbed the empty container out of the trash to double check the shade before I posted this and it’s 100% Terracotta, so either there was a mishap in the packaging plant or the advertising team fucked up real bad TLDR bought a color advertised as a light pinkish brown, followed directions to a T, somehow my hair is bright orange which is nice but NOT what I wanted and NOT what I thought I was purchasing. I know colors vary, but this is just ridiculous. It looks nice, but it’s not what I wanted and I’m honestly really disappointed that it’s so different from what was advertised. I chose the shade because I wanted a semi-natural looking split dye and ended up with the exact opposite. After drying, it’s a very bright reddish orange, which is absolutely NOT the color that was advertised.įortunately my job permits non-natural colors, but I know some places are not as flexible when it comes to hair mishaps.

I noticed as I was rinsing that it looked much darker and way more red than anticipated, but I figured it would lighten considerably when it dried (which is normal for me) and was separated from the rest of my hair, which is a dark reddish brown (my natural color, no dyes were mixed). I let it sit for about 30 minutes, rinsed with cold water, shampooed, conditioned, and rinsed again. I lightened my hair to a level 9 and mixed the color exactly as the directions stated, a 1:1 ratio with 10vol developer. I was under the impression it would be this really pretty brownish pink shade that almost perfectly matched my faded out hair color (which I LOVED), and was planning on doing a root touch-up and a bit of my bangs. I purchased Terracotta at my local Sally’s, expecting it to be approximately the same shade as the swatches available online and in-store. Hey guys! I know a lot of people like to use Ion dyes so I just wanted to make this known as the reviews on the Sally’s website do not mention this specific color.
