XMONDO Colors are deposit only meaning that they simply coat your strands with pigment and will fade with washing. Our colors are free of harsh chemicals, ammonia, and peroxide. They contain bond booster, proteins and oils to help nourish and repair your hair as you color it. Essentially, they are a semi-permanent color combined with a conditioning and rejuvenating hair mask.

XMONDO Color is semi permanent and does fade with washing. Results will vary between people based on a number of factors such as:

• Starting hair level: bleached hair retains color longer than unprocessed hair
• Hair porosity: extremely porous hair may require additional color applications
• The shampoo you use: make sure to use a sulfate & paraben free, color saving shampoo and conditioner like Polychrome Color Extending Shampoo and Conditioner
• How often you shampoo: shampooing is the leading cause of color fading, try to extend the time between washes by using dry shampoo
• Air dry versus blow dry: blow drying your hair after washing will help seal in color molecules
• Sun/water exposure: the sun and water fade color so try to limit exposure
• Type of styling products you use: try to avoid high alcohol content products that can cause color fading, such as hairsprays and quick dry products
• Styling with high temperatures (irons): extremely high heat can cause color fading. Try to keep the heat at a lower temperature and always use a heat protectant
• Hair health: Another big factor is the starting health of your hair prior to coloring with XMONDO. The more dry or damaged your hair is the more the color will take because of the cuticle being more open than healthy hair.

Due to the several factors listed above we cannot give you a specific time frame on how long your color will last.

The Power of Prep: Remember - the lighter your hair level, the bolder & brighter the results. Pre-lighten your hair for maximum vibrancy. We also recommend clarifying before coloring to remove excess buildup. Project X Detox Shampoo is designed to provide a deep cleanse to remove buildup and free radicals. This super cleansing formula will leave your hair clean and refreshed.

Customize Your Color: Feeling creative? Try mixing & matching colors to create your dream hue.

Skip Daily Washes: Extend your color's life by skipping frequent washes.

Stay Cool: Avoid using hot water when showering. Cold water keeps the hair cuticles closed and prevents the color from running and fading too soon. 

Keep Your Color Safe: Opt for color-safe shampoos and conditioners. All XMONDO products are color safe but if you want to take it up a notch, try Polychrome Color Extending Shampoo & Conditioner - designed to prolong the life of your color by sealing it in at a molecular level.

UV Protection: Shield your hair from the sun's rays by wearing a hat or using UV-protective products. Sun exposure can cause color to fade faster. Try Viper Smoothing Oil for silky-smooth hair + UV protection.

Avoid Heat Overload: Limit the use of hot tools like curlers or straighteners, as excessive heat can cause color to fade quickly. Don't forget to use heat protection! Forcefield Heat Shield provides heat protection up to 500° F.

Seal & Shine: Try using Super Gloss Intensive Glossing Treatment to assist in sealing in your color, increasing vibrancy, and adding shine to the hair. We recommend waiting at least 3 days after coloring.

Minimize Bleeding: Semi-permanent dyes (like XMONDO Color), especially bright colors, are prone to bleeding. This is because they only coat the outside of the hair shaft, making them more susceptible to washing out and bleeding compared to permanent dyes, which penetrate deeper into the hair. To help minimize bleeding or color transfer, we recommend limiting the time your hair is exposed to water and blow-drying your hair after washing, as this can help set the color and prevent excessive transfer.

Of course! Feel free to be as creative as you want!

XMONDO Color is a conditioning hair treatment that you can leave it on for as long as you would like without causing damage to your hair. If you are going to leave it on for longer than 20 minutes, we would recommend using a processing cap to keep the moisture in your hair and avoid the product drying out.

All gray hair reacts differently to color, causing results to vary from person to person. The cuticle on gray hair can be particularly thick and strong, leading it to be more resistant to semi-permanent color.

However, we can offer a few tips on how to improve the results on gray hair. We would recommend shampooing your hair twice and skipping conditioner, as well as processing the color for longer under a processing cap or plastic bag, which will ensure the color does not dry out. This will provide the maximum amount of pigment on gray hair.

We always recommend doing a test strand to see the results prior to a full application. If you are looking for a more vibrant color with longer lasting results, we recommend pre lightening your hair.

XMONDO Color is a deposit only color. Please review our swatch guides on each color's webpage to see the amount of color that will show up on your natural hair. In order to achieve maximum vibrancy, your hair will need to be blonde or prelightened. Non-lightened, virgin hair often tends to have a compact cuticle. Because semi permanent color only lives on the outside of the cuticle, result may not last as long and may require an additional application for longevity.

XMONDO Color will not lighten your hair. It is a deposit only color that does not contain bleach or any lightening agents.

XMONDO hair dyes do not have PPD in them.

Once a jar is open, it should be used within 6 months. Jars that are not open have a 12 month span.

Semi-permanent dyes (like XMONDO Color), especially bright colors, are prone to bleeding. This is because they only coat the outside of the hair shaft, making them more susceptible to washing out and bleeding compared to permanent dyes, which penetrate deeper into the hair.

The duration of bleeding varies depending on a variety of factors, such as the intensity of the color, the porosity of your hair, and how often you wash your hair. Typically, some bleeding can be expected for the first few washes after dyeing your hair. After this, the bleeding should lessen, but some minor bleeding might still occur, especially when using vibrant colors.

To help minimize bleeding or color transfer, we recommend limiting the time your hair is exposed to water and blow-drying your hair after washing, as this can help set the color and prevent excessive transfer.

​​F​eel free to apply XMONDO Color right after bleaching your hair​. XMONDO Colors ​are hydrating and deposit-only. To get the best results, it's important to thoroughly rinse and shampoo out all the bleach, and make sure your hair is completely dry before ​applying XMONDO Color.

XMONDO Color does not require heat to develop and penetrate the hair shaft, as it only coats the outside of the hair strand. Therefore, using a hair dryer with foils when applying XMONDO Color is not necessary. 

However, some people ​may ​choose to use heat to help the color develop faster or more intensely. If you decide to use heat, it’s important to follow the instructions and not exceed the recommended time or temperature. Additionally, be aware that applying heat to the hair can increase the risk of damage, so it’s important to use caution and take steps to protect your hair from excessive heat exposure.

Using conditioner to dilute semi-permanent hair dye is a common technique to achieve a lighter or pastel shade, especially if the original color is too intense. When you mix hair dye with conditioner, it reduces the concentration of the pigment, resulting in a softer, more subtle color. The idea is to create a custom shade that suits your preferences. While we cannot guarantee the results, you are able to dilute the color with Super Gloss or conditioner. 

The benefits of diluting semi-permanent hair dye are:

• Customization: You can create a variety of shades by adjusting the ratio of dye to conditioner, allowing you to achieve a color that perfectly matches your desired look.
• Less Commitment: The diluted color may not last as long as the original, more concentrated color. This can be advantageous if you want to try different colors without a long-term commitment.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind:

• Color Longevity: Diluting the hair dye with conditioner may lead to a shorter-lasting color. The pigment might not adhere to the hair as effectively, so the color might fade more quickly compared to using the undiluted dye.
• Patch Test: Before applying the diluted dye to your entire hair, it's a good idea to do a patch test to check how the color turns out on your hair. Everyone's hair is different, so the final result can vary from person to person.
• Pre-lightening: If you have dark hair and want a noticeable pastel color, you might need to pre-lighten your hair before applying the diluted dye to achieve the desired effect.

XMONDO Color is free of harsh chemicals and safe to use with a perm. We recommend waiting 2 weeks after getting a perm to apply the color.

XMONDO products are free of harsh chemicals. However, we do recommend consulting with a physician prior to use to make sure this product is right for you. We offer a full list of our ingredients on our website. We also recommend doing a patch and/or strand test prior to application to make sure you do not have any undesirable results.

Although XMONDO Color is free of harsh chemicals, we do recommend consulting with a physician prior to use because everyone has different health histories, sensitivities and allergies. We also recommend doing a patch/strand test prior to full head application to ensure you do not have any reactions/irritation. We offer our full list of ingredients on our website so you can review it with your physician. If irritation should occur, seek medical attention immediately. This product should not be used on eyebrows or eyelashes.

XMONDO Color is safe for use on all human hair wigs and extensions. As with any extensions that are attached to your head, we recommend being extra cautious when using conditioning products around the attachments to avoid loosening them.

It's important to note that the structure of the strands in synthetic wigs can vary significantly. Due to the conditioning properties of XMONDO Color combined with the structure of the wig, the pigment may only sit on top of the strands without being fully absorbed. This may cause the color to slide off the synthetic strands when rinsed. To ensure that XMONDO Color achieves your desired results, we recommend conducting some strand testing beforehand.

The appearance of the color in the jar may not necessarily reflect the final outcome on the hair.  The purple pigment in Slate Grey is designed to counteract the yellow tones in hair, as per the color wheel. When the hair color is applied, the purple pigments help to neutralize any unwanted brassy or yellow tones, resulting in a more natural, cool-toned gray.

It’s important to note that the final outcome on the hair can still be influenced by various factors, such as the starting hair color, hair condition, and application technique. It’s always recommended to follow the instructions and perform a strand test to ensure the desired result.
