Pulp Riot Shag Rug Semi-Permanent Hair Color — Burnt Orange 4 oz, Vegan Copper with Anti-Overworking Conditioning

Pulp Riot Shag Rug Burnt Orange is a semi-permanent, vegan hair color that delivers warm copper with golden undertones and vivid results that can last up to 50 washes.

This 4 oz tube from Pulp Riot gives a striking burnt orange shade designed for creative colorists and at-home stylists who want a radiant copper glow without harsh chemicals. Formulated with Anti-Overworking Technology, Shag Rug deposits bold pigment while conditioning hair to reduce breakage and increase shine. Use it alone on pre-lightened hair for full intensity, or mix with other Pulp Riot shades and clear to create custom tones from deep copper to soft peach.

How will Shag Rug look on pre-lightened hair?

On lifted or bleached hair, Shag Rug produces vivid, true-to-tone color because the formula deposits pigment directly without needing a developer. The result is an even, luminous burnt orange that showcases both copper richness and warm golden highlights.

• Best on level 8–10 pale blonde for maximum vibrancy
• Processes 25–40 minutes for full saturation
• Rinses with cool water to lock surface pigment and shine
• True tone fade preserves a natural-looking wash-out

Can I mix Shag Rug with other shades or dilute it?

Yes—Shag Rug is highly blendable, making it ideal for colorists who want to customize warmth, depth, or pastel effects. Mix with Pulp Riot clears to soften intensity, or combine with complementary shades to craft unique coppery blends.

• Mix with clear for pastel or translucent orange tones
• Blend with deeper reds or coppers to mute brightness
• Layer small amounts sectionally for dimensional color
• Always strand-test new mixes before full application

What does Anti-Overworking Technology and conditioning action mean for my hair?

Anti-Overworking Technology limits pigment-related stress so color lays down cleanly without stripping the hair. The formula also contains conditioning agents that increase surface moisture and shine, helping hair feel softer and look healthier after color.

• Helps reduce color-related breakage compared to non-conditioning alternatives
• Leaves hair visibly shinier—measurable lift in surface gloss
• Vegan, free from ammonia, PPD, parabens, MEA, and gluten for a gentler application
• True tone fade minimizes uneven, blotchy washout over time

How do I apply Shag Rug for best results?

Apply to clean, dry hair without a developer; fully saturate each section and process for 25–40 minutes depending on desired intensity. Rinse with cool water until runoff is clear, then style as usual for a bright, copper finish.

• Use gloves and a nonmetal bowl or applicator bottle
• Process 25 minutes for vivid tone, up to 40 minutes for maximum depth
• Rinse with cool water and use sulfate-free products to extend wear
• Patch test pigment on a small strand or skin before full application
