Pulp Riot Nuclear semi-permanent orange hair color — 4 oz tube, highly saturated, conditioning

Pulp Riot Nuclear is a semi-permanent, highly saturated orange hair color that delivers bold, long-lasting vibrancy with conditioning benefits and up to 50 washes of true-tone fade.

This concentrated 4 oz tube of Pulp Riot Nuclear (orange with a hint of red) was formulated to give stylists and color enthusiasts an intense, salon-quality orange without needing a developer. The blend uses Anti-Overworking Technology to maintain shine and strength while imparting vivid pigment, and its vegan, free-from formula avoids ammonia, PPD, parabens, MEA, and gluten. Apply to pre-lightened hair for maximum brightness or get creative by mixing with other Pulp Riot shades or the clear diluter to achieve custom tones from neon to pastel.

How vibrant and long-lasting is this orange shade?

Nuclear is engineered for high pigment saturation so the orange reads bright and consistent. Expect a brilliant initial result on lightened hair that gradually softens while keeping its true tone, rather than bleeding into uneven patches.

• Lasts up to 50 washes in many cases when applied to well-lightened hair
• True-tone fade preserves hue harmony as it diminishes
• Works best after bleaching to pale blonde for full vibrancy

Will Nuclear damage my hair or affect its condition?

The formula includes Anti-Overworking Technology designed to reduce stress during color deposit, and it conditions hair to help maintain a glossy finish. While all lightening and coloring can alter hair integrity, this product aims to add shine and hydration relative to unwashed hair.

• Conditions hair for noticeable shine and improved softness
• Reportedly increases hydration and helps reduce breakage compared with non-conditioning treatments
• Free of harsh ingredients like ammonia and parabens to be gentler on hair and scalp

How do I use Nuclear for best results and creative effects?

The color is ready-to-use straight from the tube—no developer required. Apply to clean, dry hair, process, then rinse; you can also mix with other colors or dilute with Clear to tailor intensity and achieve custom blends.

• Saturate pre-lightened hair for full, vibrant orange; process 25–40 minutes
• Mix with other Pulp Riot shades for unique multi-dimensional looks
• Dilute with Pulp Riot Clear to create softer or pastel versions of the shade

What should I expect when the color begins to fade?

Fading is designed to be even so the tone remains balanced as it lightens, avoiding patchy or muddy results. Regular cool-water rinses and sulfate-free maintenance can help prolong vibrancy, while touch-ups or creative blending can refresh the shade.

• True-tone fade helps the color wash out uniformly over time
• Cool-water rinses and color-safe products extend visible life
• Simple reapplications or toning mixes restore intensity when desired

Who this is for: This shade is aimed at hairstylists and color-savvy individuals who want a bold orange with salon-grade pigment and conditioning performance. It’s ideal for people willing to pre-lighten hair for maximum effect, creatives looking to mix and customize colors, and anyone seeking a vegan, free-from option for vivid semi-permanent color.
