Keracolor Color + Clenditioner, Semi-Permanent Hair Color, 23 Shades

I've been using these products consistently for over 7 months now and have nothing but good things to say. The sad truth about vivid colors is that they fade fast, and we can't always be in the salon. My hair colorist recommended this product to me so I could refresh the color in between visits (and particularly, as a product that wouldn't be impossible for her to get off later). I have to tell virgin hair hopefuls that this product will NOT attach to virgin hair, so alas my roots remain blonde no matter how much product I use or how long I leave it on. But it works fantastically on hair that has already been treated. The color builds very nicely too, allowing you to experiment with different levels of color saturation if you use the product twice in a week, for example. The cleansing is definitely adequate (my hair feels clean afterwards). It also didn't affect my ability to wear my hair naturally (soft curls) or otherwise style it by altering the texture in any noticeable way. I have extremely fine hair and did not notice any residue or weighing down, which is pretty impressive imo. A lot of products do that to my hair - not this one, though! Thanks to this product I worry less about washing out the color during wash days because I can just put more color back in later. Honestly, I'd love to see Keracolor keep adding colors to their selection, because I'll be encouraged to try more colors. Particularly in the natural reds department (red is SO hard to keep, and during the 4 years I was a redhead, this line of products would have been my best friend.) FYI: I gave 3 stars for scent because I don't like the smell. It's not BAD, I just don't like it. And if you use styling products, the scent is covered easily anyway.

I had my hair colored pink about six weeks ago and it was starting to fade out this product completely revived my color. I got so many compliments today. I love love love it, and it didn’t get all over my white pillow when I went to sleep, I must have or anybody with dyed hair.

I would recommend this product for maintaining color for sure. It definitely works. I used it on my dirty "orangy" blonde hair as directions stated, on wet hair for 20 minutes. Results were very minimal, hardly any color payoff. Then I used it dry and left it in for about an hour and it turned the color of the picture where my hair is in a bun. I did it again the next day and results are in the second picture. The pros of this product are as follows: It doesn't stain your skin, your hands or your bathroom. It really is temporary. After one wash after my three separate applications it was significantly faded. The conditioning aspect is awesome, my hair felt great afterwards. Eventually I figured out that I wanted vibrant pink hair, not this faded red pink. I was initially scared of the commitment but decided to actually dye my hair with semi permanent color. I will use this with every shampoo to maintain color. So in conclusion, yes it's great as an upkeep for already colored hair as a color depositing conditioner which is what it is. I don't recommend you dye your hair with it unless you are looking for something really temporary and don't mind it looking faded or like your hair is "tinted" rather than dyed. Would not recommend this product at all for dark hair.

I am surprised at how well this clean conditioner works! It is truly a bright pink, and it throws pigment into my bleached hair as I had wanted! I personally prefer a lighter pink, so it fades quite quickly after I wash it once or twice with a normal shampoo. On the instructions, it says you can control the pink which I have done, but you do have to work with length of time left on your hair, and dilution with other conditioners. I included two photos with two different stages of pink.

The other reviews were super helpful to me in figuring out how to try it on my own hair, so I want to pass along my experience in case it helps you! The photos above are my Before & After Keracolor experience. A little about my hair: I've been dyeing it at home for decades, the color varies but usually blonde or copper. I had colored it (copper) in early Feb but have not touched it in about 3-1/2 months. Normally I dye every 3 weeks, but I took the pandemic stay-at-home opportunity to grow out some of that damage & see what the current salt/pepper ratio is on my roots. So, the top 3-4" of hair is relatively healthy dark brown with approx. 25% gray, and the rest is all very faded & damaged & dry. I did not lighten it before Keracolor as the box suggests; my goal was to have a little pop of color without damaging my freshly grown-out quarantine roots. After reading the other reviews, I decided to apply the Keracolor (hot pink) while my hair was dry, and I used A LOT. At least 1/3 of the bottle. I smeared it, combed it, thickly coated every strand I could get to, then let it sit for about 45 minutes. I didn't cover it with a shower cap or anything, and it did not drip at all. I don't have a good sense of smell, but it didn't burn my eyes or make the cats run away like the regular dye does. It was nice to leave it as long as I wanted without fear that it was going to cause damage! In the shower, I rewetted it & really smooshed it around all over my head one more time. A little goes a lot longer way when its wet! But I still feel like I made the right decision to apply it dry. Anyway, it felt a little dry after rinsing so I used a lightweight conditioner afterward, & then it felt awesome. It air-dried extremely big & frizzy, but smoothed down nicely with my curling iron. I was afraid that it wouldn't feel clean, but it feels really fantastic! The ends feel a little more dry than they do with my normal shampoo/conditioning routine, but a little daily leave-in conditioner will help. And: the color! As you can see, it adhered GREAT to the previously dyed/badly damaged hair. It really picked it up & looks super vibrant! The roots, mmmm they grabbed the color but not nearly as much. Both the dark and the gray parts picked up the same amount, which was just a little. But It doesn't look bad, I really like it! They picked up enough to make it look somewhat blended, not quite an ombre but at least it looks like I did this on purpose. Next time, I will definitely focus more on applying a lot to the roots & leaving it for a much longer time. I'm DEFINITELY sticking with it, it's showing me all kinds of versatile possibilities & I can't wait to play with it again! Will be ordering other colors too & playing with this a lot!!!

I like this shampoo-conditioner combo, but it's not without its problems. So let's start with what I like: the shampoo cleans my hair well, the conditioner leaves it very soft, it provides a nice hint of color, and a little goes a long way, so it's actually very reasonably priced if you consider the cost per use. But... the packaging is dreadful. When I first open a new bottle, I usually spend about 5 - 10 minutes trying to engage the pump, and then just give up and pull the old pump from the last bottle out of the trash. And when I get to the end of a bottle, the pump no longer works so I have to open the bottle, set the pump aside - trying not to get the dye all over the place - and pour the shampoo out into my hand, which is easier said than done because the shampoo is very thick and the bottle opening is not designed to dispense a small amount at a time. And the dye color you see in the product illustrations is not the color you will get. I have never gotten that vibrant hot pink you see on the bottle, even though my hair color is very pale blonde - it's the color your hairdresser is shooting for when they bleach your hair out to accept a dye - so I can only imagine how much worse this is for people with darker hair... Despite these issues, I do like the product, and I have been using it for years to jazz up my barely-there natural hair color. But I'd like it a whole lot more if came in a more user-friendly dispenser.

This was a recommendation from a good friend and she did not steer me wrong! I loved this product! Super easy! And of course a little messy but that depends on the person lol I had bleached my hair blonde and gave up after some time of spending tons of money that I said I was done with blonde so as time went buy the blonde doesn’t look the greatest so I wanted to spaz it up a bit and this is where the recommendation came through. Made my purchase and as soon as I got my package I went to have some Me-Time and turned out to be fun! Put some gloves on and an old shirt and went piece by piece to make sure I had full coverage and left it to marinate! After a good few songs and my glass of wine I washed it out and loved the result! Super fun and easy. Keeps your hair nice and soft as well, no damage is done that I experienced. Only thing is to keep in mind if you do have blonde hair it take a little while to wash out fully and you’ll see all the faded colors. Since I chose the pink it started out bright and lightened to a peachy color. Eventually it washes completely out but just keep in mind the more you wash your hair the more it comes out and a retouch is needed but overall I loved every bit of it.

This was my first time using a color depositing shampoo so I did not know what to expect. I have naturally straight, fine medium blonde hair and I never color it or use products. I wanted to test out coloring my hair pink for Comic Con rather than using a wig, but did not want to damage it so I tried this. It definitely worked. My first wash was a pastel pink, as the box said. I applied it to wet hair and left in for 5 minutes and rinsed. However, my roots would not take the color, nor dd the darker blond underneath, which is not the products fault so I did not dig it. Virgin roots are apparently hard to color. But I looked kinda silly, so I did it again on dry hair and really concentrated on the roots. after doing that twice, they took and it was pretty much HOT pink as the box says and I was kinda freaked out yet kinda liked it. But after a wash or two it mellowed out. slowly after a few washes it became more pastel pink, then as my blonde started to show again after maybe 8 washes, it was a pretty rose gold. i REALLY liked it and so did everyone else. I got compliments on my hair everywhere I went, people asking what I use, etc. I did it again mixing it with purple and that was fun too, but I prefer the pink. Im letting it fade now and after about 10 washes its about 90% gone. I want to try copper next. this stuff made my hair SO soft, managemable and smeleld really good. I really liked it

Mantiene el tono e intensidad del color por varias semanas y ayuda a recuperar la suavidad del cabello luego de la decoloración

My 10 and 8 year old daughters have been begging me to color their hair. I did not want to dye their hair with salon color. I’m so happy I bought this product. It is a simple process - add the conditioner to the hair, let sit 20 minutes, and rinse out. If the color is too little, repeat the process. A few things I learned: -add it to dry hair. It made it so much easier to apply for kids. I put on rubber gloves and applied it directly to one kids hair. For the other kid, I used hair dye brushes and painted highlights and the ends. This process worked very well. -Purple and Hot Pink had the best color coverage. I also bought light pink and it was very faint. We were happier with the hot pink. -It will stay in through shampooing with non-sulfate shampoo, but as soon as they jumped in the pool, it washed out. Next time I’m going to have them get their wet before they get in the pool in hopes it’ll stay in. -There is no issue with damage to the hair. Since there is no color processing, it’s just conditioner, it leaves the hair soft. If you have someone or yourself that wants to color their hair without the process of dyeing it, buy product. It is simple enough to use on your own, and fun to use on someone else’s.

Supposed to be bright pink but is soft pink on my hair. Very pleased

Ive gotten the mint green bottle before, which did not work at all but this one had a spectacular result! the bottle is smaller than expected, leaves hair soft and very colorful

I bought the Hot Pink conditioner and it is actually amazing. Wish I had stumbled upon this earlier. Makes my hair feel and smell amazing. Plus the colour is so vibrant! 10/10 will be buying again! The order also arrived earlier then expected
