Unicorn Hair FAQ

Dyed and gone to Unicorn Heaven! DIY-friendly, damage-free color works gently, washes out gradually and fades gracefully. Unicorn Hair is 100% Vegan & Cruelty-Free.

Lime Crime’s Full Coverage, ultra-conditioning formula delivers high intensity, magical color results. Full Coverage shades work best with pre-bleached platinum to medium blonde hair and adds a tint of color to dark blonde and light brown hair.

Lime Crime Tints’ ultra-conditioning formula leaves a light wash of color to add a kick of cool to your hair. Tints work best with pre-bleached platinum to pale blonde hair.

Unicorn Hair comes in 2 formulas: Full Coverage and Tints.

Full Coverage contains a higher pigment load and delivers a more saturated color result to pre-bleached platinum to medium blonde hair and adds a tint of color to dark blonde and light brown hair.

Tints are less pigmented and leave a light wash of color - perfect for pre-bleached platinum to pale blonde hair.

Yes! The Unicorn Hair formula is vegetable glycerin-based & every ingredient is confirmed vegan.

No! Unicorn Hair color is a gentle, deposit-only dye that is not capable of damaging the hair. Our ultra-conditioning formula is made with only the purest vegan ingredients and no ammonia, PPD, peroxide or bleach.

Yes! Lime Crime Unicorn Hair is 100% Vegan & Cruelty-Free. We are proud to make products that are certified Vegan & Cruelty-Free by Leaping Bunny and PETA. No unicorns were hurt in the making of this product!

Unicorn hair Semi permanent color works best on pre-lightened hair. If you have never bleached or chemically treated your hair we do recommended bleaching for best results.

If you have virgin hair and don't plan on bleaching stick with Unicorn Hair Full Coverage. These shades are the most pigmented. Full Coverage works best on pre-lightened platinum to medium blonde hair and add a tint of color to dark blonde.and light brown hair

If your starting base color is level 1-5 and you would like to use Semi-Permanent Unicorn Hair Full Coverage, we recommend using Bleach Party Kit 20 volume. 

If your starting base color is level 1-5 and you would like to use Semi-Permanent Unicorn Hair Tint, we recommend using Bleach Party Kit 40 volume. 

If your starting base color is level 6-9 and you would like to use Semi-Permanent Unicorn Hair Full Coverage or Tint, we recommend using Bleach Party Kit 20 volume. 

We do not recommend using Bleach Party Kit 40 volume on hair level 6-9. 

We do not recommend using Bleach Party Kit 20 volume or 40 volume on platinum hair as you are the perfect base for any Semi-Permanent Unicorn Hair color. 

For medium-yellow, we recommend a few purples, pinks, or reds. For light-orange hair we 'd recommend the same, as well as some blues.

Keep in mind that if you’re starting with a more yellow base, the final results will be more green. (Ex: Anime will look more turquoise or teal.)

Perform a strand test prior to full application to determine your desired results.

Unicorn Hair works best on pre-bleached platinum blonde to light brown hair. The darker your hair is to start, the less intense your results will be.

Yes, but it might alter your end result. Since our hair color does not contain bleach, it will not lift the already existing color out of your hair - instead, it will simply lay over it. For best results, go with a Full Coverage shade that is darker/more intense than your current hair color. You can choose from: Aesthetic, Anime, Blue Smoke, Bubblegum Rose, Charcoal, Chestnut, Chocolate Cherry, Dirty Mermaid, Genie, Jello, Juicy, Lipstick, Mystic, Neon Peach, Pony, Sea Witch, Squid, Strawberry Jam, and Valentine. If you choose to use Unicorn Hair over another color, do a strand test first to determine your end result.  

Unicorn Hair is a semi-permanent hair color designed to wash out gradually over time. The life cycle of your color depends on 3 factors: depth of shade, condition of hair, & how often you wash it. We recommend using Unicorn Hair Color Shampoo with Unicorn Hair Color Conditioner. You’ll achieve the best color results to maintain your colorful locks!  

Unicorn Hair is designed to fade gracefully - anything less wouldn't be worthy of a unicorn! For best results, start with freshly & evenly bleached hair that has no previous color residue underneath.

Fear not, unicorn! We all have to start somewhere. Unicorn Hair is used all around the world by newbies and pros alike. If this is your first time trying a semi-permanent dye, we recommend that you watch the videos included in our Unicorn Hair Guide. Changing the color of your hair is easier than you think!  

We know that coloring your hair, even with a semi-permanent dye, is a commitment. To help you choose, we’ve included hair swatches on every product page, as well photos from our customers.

We don’t recommend that you use a toner prior to application as toners contain ‘neutralizing’ dyes that can make your color appear ‘muddy’. Best results are achieved on freshly bleached hair with no color residue underneath.

No. Unicorn Hair is ready to use straight out of the jar, no developers or heat needed!

Unicorn Hair is designed to transfer & stain less than other dyes you may have used, but minor color transfer is normal. While applying Unicorn Hair, be sure to protect your clothing and workspace and always wear gloves. Unicorn Hair will permanently stain fabric & clothing. With freshly-dyed wet hair, you might experience some color bleed the first few times you wash, so be sure to use an old towel and don't go to bed with wet hair if you don't want unicorn-colored bed sheets!

Each Unicorn Hair jar contains a generous amount of product - 6.76 fl oz/200 ml. Use the below chart to determine the number of jars you’ll need.

Short thin hair -1 jar

Short thick hair -1 jar

Waist length thin hair - 2 jars

Waist length thick hair - 2-3 jars

Tailbone length thin hair - 3+ jars

Tailbone length thick hair - 3+ jars

YES! We encourage you to experiment and create your own custom colors. All Unicorn Hair shades are designed to play well with each other, so mix away!  Mix any color with Dilute to make it more pastel. Here are some fun combos to try:  

Bubblegum Rose + Neon Peach= perfect peachy pink  

Anime + Jello = bright turquoise 

Sure! If you come up with a cool shade you want us to make, contact us and we just might make your unicorn hair dreams come true! Please be mindful that Unicorn Hair should not be mixed with developers, lighteners, or any permanent colors.

Coverage depends on two factors: application and the ‘canvas’ itself. Be sure your hair is bleached evenly prior to applying color, as under-bleached areas can make the final result look spotty and uneven. Overbleached or damaged hair will retain color less and might require extra processing time and more frequent touch-ups.

Work in strands about 1”x1”, starting at the root and painting the color through to the ends with a flat applicator brush. Massage each strand with fingers top to bottom to ensure even distribution of color. If you see spots that aren’t taking, re-apply color to those areas only.

How to Use FULL COVERAGE:  

You’ll need: gloves, applicator brush, clips, bowl, & an old t-shirt or cape. Cover all surfaces and clothing you do not want to get hair dye on as Unicorn Hair can permanently stain.  

For best results, start with clean, unconditioned, dry hair. Full Coverage work best with pre-bleached platinum to pale blonde hair.  Wear protective gloves and pour desired amount into a bowl.  Section hair into 4 even sections (front to back and side to side) and secure with clips. Work in 1 inch wide strands. Apply color evenly from root to tip with applicator brush. Begin at the root of the hair, applying color evenly through to the ends. Massage each strand with fingers, root to tip, to ensure even distribution of color.  Leave Full Coverage in for 30 minutes. No heat/cap required. For more intense, longer-lasting results, leave color in for 1-2 hours. Don't worry, Unicorn Hair will not damage your hair, as it does not contain any harsh chemicals or bleach!  Rinse hair in cool to lukewarm water until hair feels clean. More intense shades may not rinse clear for the first few washes. Do not shampoo. Conditioner optional.  Style to your liking and enjoy your new Unicorn Hair!  

Always do a patch & strand test to make sure you feel comfortable using Unicorn Hair, & to determine the color saturation you like.  

How to use TINTS:   

You'll need: gloves, applicator brush, clips, bowl, and an old t-shirt or cape. Cover all surfaces you do not want to get hair dye on as Unicorn Hair can permanently stain surfaces and fabric.  

For best results, start with clean, unconditioned, dry hair. Tints work best with pre-bleached platinum to pale blonde hair.  Wear protective gloves and pour desired amount into a bowl.  Section hair into 4 even sections (front to back & side to side) and secure with clips. Work in 1 inch wide strands. Apply color evenly from root to tip with applicator brush. Begin at the root of the hair, applying color evenly through to the ends. Massage each strand with fingers, root to tip, to ensure even distribution of color.  Leave Tints in for 45 minutes. No heat/cap required. For more intense, longer-lasting results, leave color in for 1-2 hours. Don't worry, Unicorn Hair will not damage your hair, as it does not contain any harsh chemicals or bleach!  Rinse hair in cool to lukewarm water until hair feels clean. More intense shades may not rinse clear for the first few washes. Do not shampoo. Conditioner optional.  Style to your liking and enjoy your new Unicorn Hair!  

Always do a patch and strand test to make sure you feel comfortable using Unicorn Hair, & to determine the color saturation you like.  

1.Add Dilute to any semi-permanent hair color until the desired lighter shade is achieved. Add gradually & mix well!

2.Perform a strand test to ensure the color matches your desired effect.

3.Apply dye as usual, following full Unicorn Hair application instructions.

4.Enjoy your new custom hair color!

By adjusting the processing time. The longer the dye sits in your hair, the more saturation & longevity you’ll get. For longer-lasting, more saturated color, leave the dye in for 1-2 hours. For less intense results, make the color lighter  using our Dilute color mixer or rinse out before the suggested time.   

We recommend using Unicorn Hair Color Shampoo with Unicorn Hair Color Conditioner. You’ll achieve the best color results to maintain your colorful locks!  

Wash it more frequently with a clarifying shampoo! The dye will fade on its own, but will fade faster the more you wash it out.

Maintain the magic of semi-permanent fantasy hair color with Unicorn Hair Color Shampoo and Unicorn Hair Color Conditioner between color dyeing sessions. This will give you a color boost and you can use whenever you’d normally shampoo and condition hair.   

 

A patch test is recommended to prevent potential reactions between the hair color and your skin. All new users should perform this test to determine if you feel comfortable using Unicorn Hair. To perform a patch test: with a cotton swab, apply a small amount of product to clean, dry skin- such as on the nape of the neck or near the elbow. Allow patch to dry and leave undisturbed for 24 hours. Monitor area for any signs of redness or irritation; if any irritation occurs, discontinue use.

Everyone’s hair is different, so some colors may look a little different on your hair. A strand test is the best way to determine if you like how a color shows up on your hair. Select a 1 inch strand of hair in a less visible area - try 2 inches above the ear, towards the back. Hair must be clean, unconditioned, and dry. Apply color to the strand and process for the recommended amount of time. Rinse out the color to reveal the effect. You can dilute or adjust the color to reach your desired result.



HOW TO USE:

1. Wear plastic gloves & protect your clothes & workspace.

2. Select a 1 inch strand to test on. Hair must be clean, unconditioned, and dry.

3. Saturate test strand in our conditioning color

4. Leave Full Coverage shades in for 30 minutes. Leave Tints in for 45 minutes. Rinse clean.

5. Welcome to the unicorn tribe!

Each jar contains a generous 6.76 fl oz / 200 mL of Unicorn Hair color.

No, but it can be found in our Mixing Bowl & Brush set.

Unicorn Hair will fade on its own overtime. You can speed up the process by using a clarifying shampoo and simply washing it more. If you wish to remove the color completely, please consult a professional.

Harsh chemicals such as chlorine may cause the color to fade faster. Try to avoid chlorinated and salt water if you can.

Think of Unicorn Hair like hair conditioner with pigments added in. If parents are comfortable with using it, and pediatricians too, then we suggest you have fun
