Strawberry Leopard Shades

Strawberry Leopard comes in 17 shades and a Pastel Mixer.

The Strawberry Leopard Pastel Mixer lets you turn any shade into its’ pretty pastel counterpart.

Here are a few shades we got to try:

Loyal Blue

Strawberry Leopard Loyal Blue is a true blue shade, a crisp and highly pigmented crystal clear hue.

The creamy gel consistency spreads easily without being runny.

Grapeful

Strawberry Leopard Grapeful is an intensely purple shade.  It looks almost black coming out of the bottle because it is so highly pigmented. It is similar to purple toning shampoo in an indigo purple intense color.

Here is how the color looks when “fingerpainted” in indoor (top) and outdoor (bottom) light:

Strawberry Leopard Bali

Strawberry Leopard Bali is a pretty strawberry pink with a hint of bright coral. The result is a soft rose gold pink. Here is a close up:

Can Strawberry Leopard Dye Color My Gray Hair?

Maybe. While it will leave some tint on gray hair, as always, gray is generally tricky.

But this is a conditioning formula, so you have nothing to lose by experimenting!

The darker shades leave more pigment on gray hair than the pastels. Think more sheer tint than full coverage.

Another thing that is also special about Strawberry Leopard is how well it treats hair after it has been bleached. Bleached hair is often porous, dry, and damaged.

Take a look at some of the ingredients in this conditioning vegan formulation:

Panthenol

Panthenol (B5) is a humectant.

• For very porous hair, Panthenol acts like a protein.

Hydrolyzed Rice protein is a secret hair weapon because it contains Inositol.
