Semi-permanent hair dye for creating soft pastel shades on bleached and light blonde hair, the LIVE Semi-permanent Hair Dye targets wearable lilac tones. A low-commitment option for anyone who wants to experiment with pastel colour without a permanent change. Is it reliable enough for full-head colour, highlights or ombré looks?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Colour Result: Soft pastel lilac that reads gently on light, pre-bleached hair
  • Best for: People with bleached blonde to light blonde hair wanting a temporary pastel hue
  • Not ideal for: Those with unbleached dark hair or anyone seeking a permanent colour change

Semi-permanent formula creates a soft pastel hue and suits fullhead, ombré and highlight techniques. Colour lasts up to 8 washes on bleached to light blonde bases.


Wearable Pastel Colour - thanks to a semi-permanent formula

Semi-permanent dye deposits pigment on the hair surface rather than permanently altering natural colour, allowing the tint to gradually fade over multiple washes. The formulation is designed to give a delicate pastel appearance rather than an intense opaque result.

Gentle lilac tones are achievable without long-term commitment, making it a practical choice for first-time pastel wearers.

Best Results on Lightened Hair - with suitability for bleached to light blonde bases

Shade performance relies on an already light base so pigment shows as a soft pastel; darker bases will not display the same effect. The product is specified for bleached blonde to light blonde hair to ensure predictable tonal results.

Expect the intended lilac hue when working on suitably lightened hair; results will be much subtler on less lifted hair.

Flexible Styling Options - with compatibility for full head, ombré or highlights

Formulation and shade can be applied across a full head for an all-over pastel, blended for ombré gradients, or placed selectively for highlights depending on application technique. Placement and saturation adjust final intensity.

Works equally well for a complete colour change or as a targeted accent to refresh blonde tones and create soft gradients.
