which mixtape color is right for you?
purple blonde - highly-pigmented purple leave-in drops will neutralize unwanted brassy and yellow tones for an icy blonde finish
teal brunette – made for brunettes to neutralize unwanted brassy and red tones
golden blonde - adds warmth and enhances light to medium-blonde hair to create a customizable radiant, sun-kissed shade
what can you mix mixtape color boosting drops with?
For easiest application and to get the most even finished look, we recommend only mixing these drops with cream or oil-based products. The thinner in consistency a product is, the more likely it is that you will get an uneven application and the mixture will be harder to distribute.

mixing + application
First, dispense base product of choice into your hands then press pump to dispense individual color drops. Mix product + color drops thoroughly before applying.
For porous hair, start with the lowest dosage. The more pumps you use = more color deposit. We recommend starting with fewer pumps on the first use to see how your hair absorbs the pigment.
In shampoos, conditioners, + masks, leave-in for 1-3 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Always make sure to wash your hands after application, as this product may cause staining.
See below for recommended dosages based on what product you are mixing with + your desired result.
