Keracolor Color + Clenditioner 3-in-1 Color-Depositing Conditioner, Gently Cleanses & Conditions, Semi-Permanent Hair Color, 23 Shades, 12 Fl Oz

TL;DR Easy to use. Didn't turn my virgin hair orange. Applied on wet natural red virgin hair for 8 minutes. Smell isn't bad. Hair left soft and conditioned. Achieved desired results. Reapply once a week (or as needed). Highly recommend! (update at the bottom) I'm 43 years old and my hair is starting to darken out to an auburn I don't really care much for. People are starting to call my red hair brunette. Makes me sad I'm losing the vibrancy of my red!! After reading the reviews I was scared to try this. Many were way more orange than I wanted. Most are on already bleached/color treated hair. The application times and methods were all over the place. I wanted only subtle change and nothing drastic. I wanted to keep my red hair natural looking, but make the color pop again. I read through SO MANY of these reviews trying to decide if I should and how to execute this flawlessly. Lol APPLICATION METHOD I USED: I decided to stay on the safe side and apply it in the shower on wet hair for 8 minutes. If it wasn't enough I would up the time. I know it washes out but I didn't want to have to take 3 showers to tone it down and waste unnecessary product. I washed my hair with shampoo first to make sure my scalp and roots were clean and free of oils. Then used approximately 6 pumps total and worked it into my hair (like shampoo) again. Then ran a comb through it all from root to ends to ensure even distribution. After my 8 minute timer went off, I Rinsed with cool water and got out. I used a hair dryer to dry my hair. Curled it all then took the photo. ROOTS: I noticed many mentioned their roots not being touched and I'm not sure on those if they were all on people with color treated hair. I felt like I read one natural that felt the roots got neglected. There was no issues with my roots STAINING: I had no issues with staining. Applying in the shower I just worked it into my hair and didn't get it everywhere. Rinsed my hands immediately once I got it in there. SMELL I personally liked the smell. It's not very strong. I'm honestly surprised it even has been mentioned. CONDITIONING It left my hair feeling soft. It was nearly slipping out of my curling iron afterwards. COLOR I am happy with the color it has added. Very subtle, but I can tell. It did not completely cover my greys but I do think one wash with it toned them down. Is exactly what I was looking for. I might wait a couple washes and then leave it on wet hair for 10 minutes. Then update with a photo. MAINTAIN COLOR: I apply this about once a week and apply it more to my roots than the rest of my hair. Then comb out down through my wet hair with a large toothed comb so that it blends in, but doesn't continue to overdue the ends as much. EYEBROWS: I've applied this to my eyebrows so that they match better. Must do so carefully unless you want stains around your brows. ;) REMOVE COLOR: I accidentally discovered that Apple Cider Vinegar shampoo will take most all of the color out in one wash! I wanted to add this for anybody that would like to reverse the process after undesired results. I LOVE that this has and will revived my natural red hair!! Highly recommend to my fellow natural redhead sistas!! UPDATE: It's really hard to get the red to show up in pictures, but I wanted to update how things were going on this product. It is now April 3, 2024. After a few applications I received the shade I used to be. I use this once a week and only for about 5 minutes on wet hair. UPDATE: I have now been using this for over a year as needed to blend in at the roots to keep it looking vibrant and natural. In Sept 2024 I received a complement from a flight attendant telling me to never color my hair. Trust her that she used to be a hairdresser. So pleased she couldn't tell I touch up my natural red hair. Made my day. :) Last picture is today after a year use. Dec 28, 2024.

I have never colored my hair before, but I got even more tired of my natural color fading than I did the gray that is showing up in it. In my youth, it was new penny copper, and I miss it. So I got this stuff, which looked like the least hassle to use of the things that I looked at. First I tried just the cinnamon, and got compliments on my pink hair. Okay, next try. I got some mocha latte and mixed a little cinnamon with it. Better. I got some copper and mixed that in with the mocha latte and the cinnamon. Best. Approaching my former natural color. Now I just got to get the formula down right. As far as my statement regarding not using it as instructed: when I first pumped it out it frightened me because it was so intense. I was afraid it would stain everything it touched and make my hair look like it was painted. I do not know if that would have been the case, because I came up with the idea of mixing it with conditioner. Bingo. I don't have to do anything special at all except put on the colored conditioner and leave it a little longer than I normally would, but not more than 5 minutes because I don't have that much patience. It gives me a perfectly satisfactory color in that time, and stains absolutely nothing. Not my hands, not my scalp, not the tub, not my fiberglass tub surround. Rinses right off everything except my hair. It and the conditioner I combined it with also leave my hair really nice. Soft, and I think feeling a bit thicker. I used to have fine hair, but a lot of it. Of course the amount of hair is going to get less and less as I get older, so I'm happy to have something that leaves it feeling nice yet a bit thicker. If you haven't gathered by now, I freaking love this stuff. I've been considering coloring my hair for a while, but all the things I looked at until this seemed like way way too much trouble. I'm sure it's not exactly non-toxic, but I hope it's as close as you can get. Oh, gray coverage. It does not cover, but at least on my particular hair it minimizes. My hair is shot through with silver strands, nothing drastic, just some, and it colors those enough that they blend in better and look like something that might have been done on purpose even more than they did before. I've got one small streak at my part line and a couple of small Bride of Frankenstein things at the temples, and it also blends those in fairly well. I think that makes the whole thing look more natural, so I'm happy with it. YMMV, of course. This review is based on former copper hair faded to mousy brown, with a little silver hair throughout and a couple of small clumps at the front.

This product is small but it works. I bought it because I couldn't find the hair colour I buy in stock anywhere (Splat). I wanted to try the purple karacolour as that is or was rather my hair colour. But that colour was not in stock either. My hair was faded pink as the purple splat turns pink when it fades. So I figured blue and pink make purple. It is not the intense same shade of purple as it was afrer only two 3 minute uses. But is instead more of a pastel indigo, I am happy with it.

Before, 1st bleaching process, after and with bowl method for curly styling only. I've been doing my own hair since covid happened because I realized it was way cheaper and wasn't afraid of screwing it up. This product makes it super easy. I ended up doing a solid round of bleaching, then went in with a cut and the conditioner a few days after it was bleached, leaving It on the bottoms and ends for thirty minutes. I then went back and did the rest of the brown bits and roots at the front and did a quick five minute leave on of the conditioner. Super happy with the results. It's grown out and I continued with the colour, but these are how the curls held up as well with no styling after using the conditioner. I'm actually not used to that. Usually a bleaching will really damage my hair, and it'll take around three weeks with a few protein masks to get my curl back. I've experienced not getting them back for two months after a bleaching before. It only took around a week this time and I do actually think it's because I left the klenditioner on instead of a protein mask. For review, I usually use olaplex aftercare and found it wasn't really needed at all. It legit smells soooooo good. I actually love the smell. I'm going to get the normal conditioner because I actually have a bunch of reactions to colours normally and don't want to over use the copper as a conditioner. I have sensitive skin and will get rashes really easily across my forehead. Its actually why I don't go to hair dresser. I was cooper in the past professionally and everytime I went copper I would get a rash across my forehead. No rash at all from the conditioner and the conditioner actually also worked really well when I styled my hair using the bowl method as well. * I get psoriasis and skin rashes easily so all my shampoos and conditioners need to be anti-fungal with zinc etc. I'm also allergic to fragrance so can't use a lot of curl products so I was really happy when this brought out my curls. It wasn't why I bought it, but I was genuinely surprised. I'll be replacing my olaplex conditioner just because it really didn't work as well for the type of hair I have. I don't know why. But yeah. Was like weirdly surprised at how good this is. I did actually expect a rash and thought I would deal with it, it didn't happen. Would have given four stars but gave it five due to the added bonus of it working for wavy/fine hair with a curl pattern.

My professional hairdresser said “I don’t normally recommend store-bought hair products, but I recommend this one.’’ I use it like conditioner and leave it in my hair 5-15 mins once a week. It leaves my hair shiny and gives the colour a vibrant boost between hair colouring appts.

Me encanta! Deja el cabello suavecito y mantiene el color, por lo tanto, ya no hay que usar tinte tan seguido, siento que es la mejor transición para el cabello canoso ya que no las cubre al 100%, si lo recomiendo!

Used alone this “shampoo” yields a reddish tinge. But when mixed with the vivid blue it gives me varied shades of violets … pretty fun to play with it on my bleached hair. Not so absorbent on natural grey hair though
