Lime Crime Unicorn Hair Dye — Sour Candy Bright Pink, Vegan Semi-Permanent, Conditioning

Lime Crime Unicorn Hair Dye in Sour Candy is a vegan, cruelty-free semi-permanent bright pink that conditions hair while delivering full-coverage, temporary color with a sugary citrus vanilla scent.

This at-home hair dye is formulated for vivid results on pre-lightened hair and to tint darker shades, combining saturated pigments with conditioning ingredients to reduce dry-feel during wear. Designed and tested by Lime Crime, Sour Candy gives a bold, playful pink without peroxide, ammonia, or PPD, and the formula leaves hair feeling conditioned thanks to fatty acids and vitamins.

How bold will the color be on my hair?

Sour Candy deposits intense bright-pink pigment best on platinum to medium blonde bases, where it achieves the truest, most vivid shade. On dark blonde and light brown hair it will add a noticeable pink tint, while darker natural shades may show subtler results.

• Platinum to light blonde: full, saturated bright pink.
• Dark blonde/light brown: visible pink tint, less saturation.
• Dark brown/black: faint tint or subtle highlights unless pre-lightened.

How long will the color last and how should I care for it?

Being semi-permanent, wear time varies by hair porosity, starting shade, and washing frequency; expect several washes to full fade depending on these factors. To extend vibrancy, use sulfate-free shampoos, cold water rinses, and avoid daily washing or harsh heat styling.

• Use gentle, color-safe shampoo and conditioner.
• Rinse with cool water to lock pigments.
• Limit heat styling and frequent washes to prolong color.

Is this safe for damaged or colored hair?

The formula is free from peroxide, ammonia and PPD and includes moisturizing agents to help minimize dryness; however, results depend on hair condition. Always perform a strand and patch test before full application to check for desired color payoff and any sensitivity.

• Contains fatty acids and vitamins for conditioning benefits.
• Not formulated to lift natural color—pre-lightening may be needed.
• Recommended: strand test and patch test before full use.

How do I apply Sour Candy for even coverage?

Application is straightforward for DIY use: apply evenly to clean, detangled, pre-lightened hair for best results, and follow the included timing guidance. Work in sections, use gloves and a tint brush for precise coverage, and rinse until water runs clear.

• Start on dry or towel-dried hair for uniform pigment deposit.
• Section hair and apply from roots to ends for even color.
• Rinse thoroughly and condition after processing time.

Who is this for: Lime Crime Sour Candy is ideal for anyone seeking a bright, playful pink from a vegan, cruelty-free brand—especially people with pre-lightened hair who want intense, temporary color with a pleasant sugary citrus vanilla scent. It’s also suited to those who prioritize cleaner formulas without peroxide, ammonia or PPD and want added conditioning benefits while experimenting with bold, temporary looks.
