oVertone® Color Depositing Treatment Hair Mask, Chocolate Brown, 8 oz

I’ve used a different color-depositing mask before, but this one really impressed me. It gave my hair a rich, beautiful tone and left it soft and shiny. Just a small note for anyone using it for the first time — when applying, the mask may look a bit greenish in color (even though it’s not green in the jar!). It can also leave a slight tint on the scalp, so I recommend gently washing your scalp with shampoo after rinsing it out. Don’t worry, the hair itself doesn’t turn green at all. Overall, it toned my hair evenly and looks great. Definitely worth it for the price!

I’ve been using Overtone products for years and have always been happy. This color was a huge disappointment. It made the grey roots around my face orange, and all the rest of my hair a dull olive green. It was so ugly and sad. Had to buy another rinse from a different brand and color over it a couple days later. The actual product in the jar looked fine — but when I rinsed it out, the water in the tub was turquoise!

I am the target customer for this color. I use the overtone chocolate brown to blend my salt and pepper hair. however, as the brown fades, it turns the gray stripes a really unpleasant yellow - almost greenish - color. I got the dusty magenta as a color correction for this. The untouched grey parts are now a bright silver, the faded brown sections are an ashy blonde and my natural dark brown is richer and less faded. Not a hint of magenta anywhere.

It not something i would buy again. In my opinion It does not last. I did it twice weeks ago and I can see the old highlights already. But I also wash my hair daily. So that may affect the longevity

I have naturally dirty blonde/light brown hair that I used to bleach. It’s been about a year of growing out my hair. I first ordered the golden brown color and it turned my hair carrot orange. So I bought the chocolate brown and again, my hair is orange. Maybe it’s the bleach, maybe it’s my hair. I don’t know but do not order this unless you want orange hair. A whole bottle of purple shampoo later and my hair is darker brown with a slight orange/red tint. It’s horrible and I hope this washes out quickly. I’ve washed my hair twice to no avail.

I've been growing out blonde highlights in my dark brown hair, and was paying $$$ to get semi-permanent toner every few weeks at the salon. I tried this, and get the same results as I do at the salon. I didn't expect it to cover the greys, but a girl can dream!

I’ve used Overtone’s pink and purple shades for a few years with great results. My hair is salt and pepper gray, (I grew my grey out about 8 years ago). I recently decided to try the chocolate brown for a change of pace. Unfortunately it turned my gray roots completely orange. After about 6 weeks and several clarifying treatments- the color faded to a greenish yellow…yikes! I finally gave up and colored over it with purple again. I just say this as a warning: if you have gray please think twice before using this color. I found examples of others who had the exact same problem with chocolate brown on their grey. This particular color is problematic and does not fade nicely like the other shades.

I've used Overtone in the past and liked it, except for the kinda high cost compared to lasting power. But, that was for the fun colors - reds and purples. I have shoulder length, very thick, wavy/curly hair. I got balayage highlights a couple months ago, they just weren't done by the same person who did them previously and the result was less lightning more dirty dishwater. I had zero interest in paying another $400 for an additional session. So, started looking for options to maybe not permanent dye back to dark, but give myself a break from looking at it every day until I had a better plan. I was looking into learning how to dye with henna but I'm a renter and didn't want to risk creating a big staining incident. So, recalling pleasant experience in the past with Overtone, I searched it out. Found this lovely chocolate color, spent some time looking for possible dupes, watched review videos of dupes, and opted to just go with the product I've had good results from previously. Glad I did. Really loving this chocolate brown. After one treatment I've definitely got enough for maybe 2-3 additional rounds. I personally enjoy the scent, it's a refreshing minty herbal smell that triggers some distant childhood memory I can't quite recall. Anyway, ya. Price is a bit of a surprise. I'd feel inclined to give rave reviews if the price point were closer to $20. But, the brand is consistent, and depending on hair length/thickness, you'll get more than one treatment. So, might be worth it.
