Lunar Tides Semi-Permanent Hair Color Magic Oracle — Teal-Black 8 fl. oz, Glossy Duochrome

Magic Oracle is a shimmering teal-black semi-permanent hair color that deposits jewel-toned pigment for a dark, multidimensional finish.

Designed to give luminous teal highlights within a deep black base, Lunar Tides Magic Oracle blends cool blue-green undertones with rich darkness for an alternative, mermaid-inspired look. This semi-permanent dye is formulated to condition while adding vivid color, and it performs best on pre-lightened hair for the brightest teal shift. Vegan and cruelty-free, the formula is intended for creative color play that fades gradually, allowing easy updates and experimentation.

How will Magic Oracle look on my hair?

Magic Oracle produces a dual-tone appearance: a near-black base with teal and blue-green flashes that emerge when light strikes the hair. On pre-lightened or lighter bases the teal shift is more pronounced; on darker or natural bases the product layers as a deep teal-black sheen. The finished look reads as dark and moody from afar, with jewel-like dimension up close.

• Best vibrancy: pre-lightened blonde to pale brown hair
• Subtle sheen: natural dark hair shows blue-green shimmer
• Finish: glossy, multidimensional duochrome effect
• Styling tip: textured waves reveal the color shift most clearly

How long does the color last and how does it fade?

As a semi-permanent formula, Magic Oracle deposits color on the hair cuticle and gradually washes out over weeks to months depending on care. Color longevity is influenced by hair porosity, how lightened the hair was before application, and your shampoo routine. Using sulfate-free shampoo and cooler water slows fading, while frequent washing and hot water will accelerate it.

• Typical fading: noticeable change over several weeks
• Maintenance: color-depositing shampoos extend vibrancy
• Care: use cool water and gentle, sulfate-free products
• Refresh: reapply as desired for consistent tone

Is it safe for damaged or color-treated hair and how does the Bond Building Treatment help?

Magic Oracle is formulated to be conditioning and is vegan and cruelty-free; it is compatible with previously colored hair. For hair that is dry, porous, or chemically treated, Lunar Tides recommends pairing the dye with their Bond Building Hair Treatment to help improve manageability and surface softness. While it won’t reverse severe damage, the treatment supports the hair’s appearance and feel during color services.

• Conditioning base: helps reduce roughness after coloring
• Bond Building Treatment: designed for bleached or damaged hair
• Professional grade: suitable for at-home or salon use
• Vegan and cruelty-free: formulated without animal testing

How should I apply Magic Oracle for best results?

For the brightest teal dimension, start with lightened hair (bleach to the recommended level) and apply evenly from roots to ends, or use targeted placement for peekaboo or ombré effects. Follow the package timing guidelines, rinse with cool water until clear, and condition afterward. Always perform a patch and strand test prior to full application to check compatibility and desired tone.

• Prep: lighten hair for maximum teal shift
• Application: wear gloves and apply on dry or towel-dried hair
• Rinse: use cool water and sulfate-free conditioner
• Patch test: recommended 48 hours before full application
