Semon Professional Permanent Hair Color Review

I just want to do a quick review of Semon Professional Color Cream.

Today I tested it on streaks of my hair. I've bleached it again to bring the Ombre up to my head in preparation for graying it. The tips BTW are the max bleaching job my hair could take.

Yellowy Brassyness! I'm creeping the Ombre up.

This is my starting color.

I'm going to use Blue and the Clear Corrector.

I bought the Clear Corrector first because I thought it was a toner because it says so on the chart and that it also says "Corrector". I tested it on a strand and nothing happened so I figured that it's something you mix to dilute color. 

I forgot the exact price but I think it was P90.00 for the Clear and it's 120 ml.

The Blue I think is the same price but only 100ml.

 I like that I can see the expiration dates easily.

Judging from the directions 20 volume is just perfect. 

I accidentally almost erased the 20% when I cleaned the bottle with alcohol. It can get really dirty when I run out of mix in the middle of coloring.

I bought this 1000ml for P130 (if I remember correctly)

I was able to get the 20 volume developer from the same brand when the store ran out of my favorite Mondes developers.

What comb? :P

Here is the result! On the first strand(left), I used the blue purely to see how strong the color is. The other one (right) I use 1:1 ratio of Blue and Clear. Pretty nice!

Here I'm just showing the more yellowy parts near the roots. Still pretty saturated! ♥

Now here I used it on my short hair on top which is very brassy and kinda orangey. I just had a lot left over from the blue mixed with clear toner so I tested it here. It turned out grayish! Which is what I really wanted. I just also want to get rid of the brassiness.

What I like:

• Very Affordable for an uncommon hair color!
• Professional Quality
• Vibrant color
• Doesn't dry my hair out when you just leave it for 38 mins
• I like the packaging. Very neat design. It's not as hard and crumple-y to squeeze compared to Mondes and Bremod brands.
• Aside from the first wash, not very runny.
• Great alternative for brands like Manic Panic if you're after this kind of blue color. 
• Good for streaks if you have warm skin tone.

What I don't like:

• It can stain skin (but it can be washed off after bathing)
• Hair can stain clothes while it's wet.
• The shade on me is not very flattering. (but doesn't really matter because I'll be adding pink to get it ashy, gray, purple and violet. Yes I'd like to get varying hues because it's more fun!)
• Can be a drying to hair when left over the developing time based on the directions.
• The color won't be seen much on black hair like any other unnatural hair color dyes. You'll have to lighten your hair if you want it vibrant.

I got so excited later that day that I colored my whole hair!

I don't think I should show a picture of it though. :P


Will turn it Purple really soon! Be sure to check my next post if you want to learn how to do it for less than P500! (As opposed to buying P700+ hair dyes like Manic Panic)
