Pulp Riot Noir Semi-Permanent Hair Color Black, 4 oz — Blue‑Tinged Deep Black, Vegan Conditioning Cream

Pulp Riot Noir Semi-Permanent Hair Color in Black is a rich blue-tinged black cream that delivers vibrant, long-lasting color while conditioning hair without developer.

This 4 oz tube of semi-permanent Noir creates a deep, dimensional black with subtle blue-violet undertones designed to reflect light and add depth. The formula uses Pulp Riot's Anti-Overworking Technology to help maintain strand integrity during processing, and it rinses out evenly so color fades predictably. Because it’s vegan and free of ammonia, PPD, parabens, MEA, and gluten, Noir is formulated to be gentler on both hair and scalp while giving stylists and colorists a dependable, creative option.

How long will the Noir black shade last and how does it fade?

Noir is a long-wearing semi-permanent color intended to keep intensity for many washes — up to about 50 washes on pre-lightened hair. Rather than leaving patchy or uneven remnants, the pigment is engineered to fade uniformly, preserving tone and depth as it gently diminishes.

• Lasts up to ~50 washes on lifted bases when applied to pre-lightened hair
• True-tone fade: color diminishes evenly without harsh striping
• Rinse with cool water to help lock in vibrancy and slow washout

Will this damage my hair and how does it care for strands?

Noir is semi-permanent and does not require a developer, which reduces chemical stress compared with permanent oxidative dyes. The Anti-Overworking Technology helps protect fiber structure during processing while conditioning agents boost shine and manageability.

• Does not require developer — lowers risk of over-processing
• Formulated to increase shine and hydration compared with unwashed hair
• Vegan and free from ammonia, PPD, parabens, MEA, and gluten

Can I mix Noir with other shades or dilute it for softer results?

Noir is versatile in professional mixing applications — use it solo for full, saturated black or blend with other Pulp Riot shades and Clear to customize depth, tone, or create softer, pastel-adjacent effects. Mixing expands creative possibilities while maintaining consistent handling and application time.

• Mix with Clear to reduce intensity or create muted black-grays
• Combine with complementary Pulp Riot colors for tonal dimension
• Retains predictable processing time when blended for consistent results

How do I apply Noir for best results and what processing time is recommended?

Apply Noir to clean, dry hair for the most even saturation; the product is ready-to-use straight from the tube. Processing typically ranges from 25 to 40 minutes, then rinse with cool water to reveal the final tone and to help minimize immediate washout.

• Saturate clean, dry hair for even pigment deposit
• Process 25–40 minutes depending on desired intensity
• Rinse with cool water and style as usual to preserve shine
