Formulated for color pay-off on pre-lightened hair and tinting on darker bases, this vegan and cruelty-free dye combines vivid purple pigment with conditioning ingredients for improved texture and shine. It’s scented with a sugary citrus-vanilla fragrance to make the coloring process smell pleasant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow dramatic will Genie purple look on my current hair color?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe final shade depends on your starting level and hair porosity. On platinum or very light blonde bases you'll get a saturated deep violet; on medium blondes expect a rich, toned purple; on darker blonde to light brown hair you may see a noticeable violet tint rather than full opacity. Results vary by previous color, whether hair is porous, and how long you leave the dye in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlatinum\/bleached hair: intense deep violet payoff.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMedium blonde: vibrant but slightly muted purple.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDark blonde\/light brown: visible violet tint, not full coverage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUnprocessed dark hair: subtle sheen or purple undertone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill Genie damage my hair and how does it care for strands?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenie is a non-oxidative, semi-permanent formula that contains no peroxide, ammonia, or PPD, so it avoids the chemical lifting process that causes breakage. The dye includes fatty acids and vitamins intended to help moisturize and add shine while depositing pigment. Still, optimal results and hair health depend on pre-lightening when needed and following standard aftercare and strand testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFree of peroxide, ammonia, and PPD for gentler coloring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eContains conditioning fatty acids and vitamins for smoother texture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRecommended: patch and strand test before full-head application.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse sulfate-free shampoos and cold water to extend color life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long will Genie’s violet color last and how can I extend it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSemi-permanent pigments gradually fade with each wash; longevity varies by hair porosity, starting level, and washing routine. Typically, vibrant shades on bleached hair last several weeks to a few months, fading to pastel or tinted hues.
