Overtone offers hair dyes, hair coloring conditioners, and toners<\/strong>.<\/span> So, you can choose the option that best suits your beauty routine.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Beyond the differences and similarities, you\u2019ll be able to decide if Overtone is the fantasy hair color you need or if you should opt for Keracolor. Let’s take a closer look at the differences.<\/p>\n\n
<\/p>\n
Difference 1: Keracolor is readily available on the web and specialty stores, while Overtone is only available on their own website.<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n
I understand that we live in times of globalization. Therefore, the Internet makes things much easier for us when it is time to get a certain product.<\/p>\n
You go online, browse a couple of pages, and two days later a product arrives at your door from China.<\/p>\n
That can be a big advantage.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n But Keracolor is much more accessible because you can get it in specialty stores and on the web. <\/span>\nAnd if you can get it in specialized stores, you\u2019ll have the opportunity to ask about it to the sales people. They usually have a lot of information about the products they sell.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Most online stores also have a chat. However, I’m old school and prefer a real person when I want to solve doubts or ask questions.<\/p>\n
Still, this isn\u2019t the most important difference between Keracolor and Overtone. It\u2019s just the tip of the iceberg.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Difference 2: While Keracolor offers 18 colors, Overtone has a palette of 40 different shades, plus a special line for dark hair that doesn\u2019t require prior bleach.<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n
Regarding fantasy colors, we want to choose our favorite shade. That\u2019s why the wider the color range, the better.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
\n- <\/i> Overtone has a range of up to 40 long-lasting shades<\/strong>.<\/span> Some of them are coral or old pink, green, blue, and violet.<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Also, they have a lighter or darker variety. For example, extreme purple or pastel purple.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n
Keracolor has a range of 19 long-lasting colors, <\/strong><\/span>including teal, light pink, platinum, and violet. But that’s not all.<\/div>\nIf you want a lighter or darker shade, you\u2019ll have to leave it on your hair for more or less time.<\/p>\n
That brings us to the third difference.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Difference 3: Keracolor is more difficult to apply than oVertone because the intensity of the color depends on the exposure time of the hair dye. However, oVertone guarantees the color from the moment you buy it.<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n
If you don\u2019t have much experience in fantasy colors, my advice is to start experimenting with Overtone.<\/p>\n
Because the color you choose will be the one you can finally wear in your hair. What do I mean?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I’ll get to that point, but first, let’s look at the similarity in the application.<\/p>\n
You have to follow the same steps to apply both products:
\n
\n- <\/i> Comb your hair and separate it into 4 sections holding them with clips.<\/li>\n
- <\/i> With your gloves on, start applying the hair dye from the back, helping you with a hair dye brush.<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
And here’s where things get interesting.
\n
\n- <\/i> Overtone shades only need 20 minutes of exposure.<\/li>\n
- <\/i> However, if you choose Keracolor, the intensity of the color will depend on how long you leave it on your hair. The longer the exposure, the more intense or darker the color will be. <\/span><\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
For example:
\n
\n- <\/i> If you want a pastel pink, you should leave it on for 10 minutes.<\/li>\n
- <\/i> If you want a lilac color, you\u2019ll have to leave it on for 10 minutes.<\/li>\n
- <\/i> If you want a midnight blue, you should leave it on for 30 minutes.<\/li>\n
- <\/i> If you want a dark blue-green, you should leave it on for 30 minutes.<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n So, if you don’t have much experience, the color you get can be unpredictable. <\/span>\n <\/p>\n
Now, as for color maintenance, both brands are the same. <\/strong><\/span>You\u2019ll need to use them every time you wash your hair because they aren\u2019t semi-permanent hair dyes. They are conditioners that add color and moisture to the hair. How do you use them to maintain the color?\n
\n- <\/i> In the shower, wash your hair with a sulfate-free shampoo.<\/li>\n
- <\/i> Apply the hair color conditioner and leave it on for 3 to 5 minutes.<\/li>\n
- <\/i> Rinse your hair with plenty of lukewarm water.<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
Difference 4: Overtone hair dyes contain very resistant pigments, and some of their shades may require bleaching to be removed. Keracolor, on the other hand, fades with washes even though it\u2019s designed with intense pigments.<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n
Before going deeper into this topic, I think we should clarify that the duration of the hair dyes will depend on your hair care routine and on using them regularly.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
\n- <\/i> According to the manufacturers, Overtone lasts for 20 washes, while Keracolor lasts for 10 to 15 washes.<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
In other words, if you only use the hair coloring conditioner once, that will be the duration on your hair.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n If you apply hair coloring conditioners every time you wash your hair, you\u2019ll extend the duration of the color because you\u2019ll deposit color pigments in your hair every time. <\/span>\n <\/p>\n
