Lime Crime Unicorn Hair Dye Anime (Candy Blue) — Vegan Semi-Permanent Candy Blue, Full Coverage & Conditioning

Lime Crime Unicorn Hair Dye in Anime is a vegan, cruelty-free semi-permanent candy blue dye that delivers bold, full-coverage color while conditioning hair with a sugary citrus vanilla scent.

This lightweight, at-home hair color is designed to deposit saturated blue pigment on pre-lightened hair and add a playful tint to lighter brunettes and dark blondes. The formula avoids harsh chemicals such as peroxide, ammonia, and PPD, and includes conditioning ingredients to help maintain moisture and shine. Anime (Candy Blue) is part of Lime Crime's Unicorn Hair line, created for DIY colorists who want vivid shades with a pleasant scent and minimal damage when used as instructed.

How vibrant will Anime (Candy Blue) look on my hair?

The intensity of Anime depends on your starting hair shade and porosity. On platinum or very light blonde, expect a true candy blue with strong saturation; on darker bases, the result will be more of a subtle blue tint. Always perform a strand test to preview color payoff and adjust processing time if needed.

• Platinum to light blonde: bright, full-coverage candy blue
• Dark blonde/light brown: noticeable blue tint or pastel effect
• Brown/black: subtle blue undertones unless pre-lightened
• Porous hair absorbs color faster—watch processing time

How long does the color last and how do I care for it?

Unicorn Hair is semi-permanent, so longevity depends on washing frequency, water temperature, and pre-lightening. With gentle care—sulfate-free shampoo, cool water rinses, and reduced washing—the color can remain vibrant for several weeks. Expect gradual fading rather than immediate stripping.

• Use sulfate-free and color-safe products
• Rinse with cool water to lock pigment
• Limit washes and use dry shampoo between washes
• Use deep-conditioning masks to preserve hair health

Is this safe for my hair and what should I test first?

The formula is free of peroxide, ammonia, and PPD and contains conditioning agents like fatty acids and vitamins to help maintain moisture. Even so, perform a patch test and strand test to check for sensitivity and preview color on your unique hair type. Follow safety directions on the package to minimize irritation or unexpected results.

• Do a skin patch test 48 hours before full application
• Strand test to preview shade and processing time
• Follow manufacturer instructions for timing and application
• If you have previously colored or chemically treated hair, results may vary

How easy is it to apply Anime at home?

Unicorn Hair is formulated for at-home use and applies like a standard semi-permanent dye. With basic tools—gloves, applicator brush, clips, and a timer—you can achieve even coverage. For dramatic color shifts, pre-lightening is recommended; consult a professional if you’re unsure about bleaching or lifting your base color.

• Apply to clean, dry hair for even saturation
• Section hair for methodical, full-coverage application
• Process according to strand test results to avoid over- or under-coloring
• Rinse until water runs clear and condition afterward

Who is this for: Lime Crime Unicorn Hair Dye in Anime is made for creative individuals and DIY colorists who want a striking candy blue without harsh chemicals, and who are willing to pre-lighten darker hair or accept a tint on darker bases. It suits vegans and cruelty-free shoppers seeking vivid, temporary color with conditioning benefits and a sweet citrus-vanilla scent. If you want a bold but removable color statement that also nourishes hair, Anime is an accessible choice for self-expression.
