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

I tried the Keracolor Color + Clenditioner in Merlot because I knew I’d need something to maintain my hair color between salon visits. I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how well this works—it leaves my color vibrant and refreshed without the hassle of a full dye. A few tips: some reviews mention it can get messy, and that’s true—it’s very pigmented, so handle it like you would a traditional box dye. I always use gloves, a brush applicator, and am very careful while rinsing to avoid stains. That small caution is worth it for the results. What I love: -Smells great and isn’t overpowering -Makes my hair soft and smooth -Deposits color evenly with minimal effort -Keeps my hair color looking fresh between salon visits (saving so much money) Overall, this product is perfect for anyone looking for a semi-permanent color boost at home. It’s easy to use, effective, and the results make it worth a little extra care during application. I’d definitely repurchase.

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.

My graying hair is very very gray in the front, but mostly very dark on the rest of the head. Regrowth is SUPER noticeable after permanent dye. My stylist said we can "just add some platinum highlights and it will blend right in".... holy 2002, batman! My hair is very dark brown, almost black, and the upkeep on platinum highlights is, frankly, way beyond my price point, in addition to not being a look I aspire to. This espresso color is a very dark, cool brown, so I mix 2-3 pumps of this with 1 pump of the auburn color, and get a nice neutral brown tint on my silver strands that blends into my natural color and looks a bit like balayage as it fades. Note: I am not using this as directed. Just putting this on in the shower would be a slow process and not catch all my roots, so about once a week I glob this on DRY hair, wrap my head in plastic, cover it with a bonnet and putter around for 3 hours before rinsing. Does it need to be 3 hours? I dunno. I literally pulled that time from nowhere and it works so I kept doing it. Is it messy? Ummm....in comparison to what happens when i use permanent dye at home, no. Otherwise...I think it depends on how clumsy you are. I am VERY clumsy, so I do have to clean stains from my skin and the bathroom sink, but soap and water take it off skin and a bathroom cleaner with bleach takes it off the sink. I try to shampoo twice a week or less, I use As I Am cleansing conditioner or Tap Secret powder dry shampoo on the non wash days. Both are holy grail products for me. Is all this a very complicated way of avoiding ammonia fumes and damage from constant permanent dying and/or bleaching? Of course! Does everyone have three hours a week to spend with their head wrapped in plastic? I'm guessing probably not. Will the process of eventually going completely gray be INFINITELY less traumatic than if I was growing out gray roots under permanent dye? Why yes, thank you for asking. If I don't refresh the color, it slowly fades away until the full lengths of my silver strands are silver again. No damage, no elaborate, expensive mix of highlights and lowlights, just time.

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
