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

I am new to KeraColor color depositing conditioners. They work best with hair that has been treated with a semi permanent hair color. I recommend Joico Color Intensity hair colors. You can apply this to natural hair, though. The color is more intense on blonde hair. I would not recommend this for brown or black hair. There is a color swatch on the back of the bottle. This is very helpful. It shows you the typical outcome based upon the number of applications. To maintain a more intense color, I would use it 75% of the time. I say 75% because everyone has a different hair washing schedule. Use it 50% of the time for less drama and 25% for subtle color. The packaging was well thought out. The nozzle on the bottle was close shut. It had never been used. The nozzle was also taped down. The bottle was wrapped in bubble wrap and then placed inside a box with a few "air pouches". The bottle itself is cute!! It's white with a sticker label. So, if you leave the bottle in your shower (like I do) it still looks classy. The bottle is rectangle in shape. This is really great because round bottles easily slip out of your hand in the shower. The nozzle can be wound down into the bottle for secure storage. I like this because I can throw this in my gym bag and not worry with staining or spillage. On a side note, I love the bottle so much I plan to remove the labels and use them for other things. Now for the review of this product and the color. I found my results were closely in line with the swatches on the back of the bottle. The conditioner did not stain my hands or nails. You will see a bit of color while showering, but it washes away. The conditioner smells great. I applied the conditioner in the shower. I try to remove as much water as possible before applying. I run the product from the crown to the ends and then secure the hair on top of my head. The product stays in for 3 to 5 minutes. For the maximum intensity, apply to dry hair that is clean. Let the product sit for about 15 minutes and then rinse. For maximum benefit, wash your hair in cold water and wash only if needed. Unless your hair is super caked with product, apply shampoo to your roots and lather it up. Use your hand to bring the foam down to your crown mid hair, then rinse it out. There's no need to shampoo your ends. The product works as designed. The outcome aligns with the swatches on the back of the bottle. The price point is a bit better than overtone. I hope they expand the line to offer more colors. My only delta would be the detangling factor. I find I need a detangling spray for my hair, but I have curly semi-frizzy hair. I still need a hair mask once a week, despite allowing my hair to air dry 90% of the time. Keep in mind though the main reason you purchase this product is for the color deposit, which it effectively executes.

I’ve been using it for almost four years now, and it works wonders keeping my fashion colors vibrant. I dye my hair royal purple once every six weeks or so, and this stuff keeps it from drastically fading over that time. There is going to be some fading near the end of the six weeks, but that could also be because I’m cheap and don’t like using a lot at once. It says you can use it as a 2-in-1, but I always shampoo first anyway, and it keeps my colored hair fresh, soft, and vibrant. Plus, it always lasts me a while (probably because again, I don’t use much, and my hair is very short), and $22 is way cheaper than redyeing every two weeks, so it’s worth the price to me.

I absolutely love this "clenditioner". I'll start with the only con, just to be upfront. It did very little to change my color or help make it darker. I had dyed hair already, mostly red but with violet tones, a nice burgundy. The purple tones faded very quickly so I bought this in hopes it would punch it up. It didn't have much of an effect. That said, it is great for *Maintaining* color, as I faded much slower after starting to use this product. It has several pros other than the color maintenance. It smells absolutely amazing, and leaves my hair feeling very soft and very clean. Most conditioners leave my hair feeling heavy and oily, and I've tried easily a dozen trying to find the right one. This one leaves my hair feeling great. Even better, it does actually help clean a bit. I recently used a semi permanent dye of blue and purple (manic panic) which comes out much more quickly if you use shampoo. With this clenditioner I was able to skip the shampoo and still have my hair feel clean. It's not as effective as shampoo, as I can normally go 3 full days between hair washes without bad oilyness, and with this I max out at 2. That said, it still means my temp hair dye lasts much better, without my hair feeling gross. Overall, I def wouldn't use it to actually color my hair or even boost a faded dye job, but it's awesome for maintaining a color if you use it instead of or with normal shampoo. It smells AMAZING and leaves hair feeling clean and soft.

I have a dark brown pixie cut. I have been using this shampoo for a little over a month now, and am on my second bottle. It has made a subtle change to the color of my hair. Mostly you can only tell my hair is purple in sunlight, but it is darker and richer in tone indoors. My hair is the shiniest it has ever been! Also I really like the smell. A few things I have noticed: It tends to stick right where you put it when your hair is wet, making it easy to have a patchy looking application. I put it on dry hair for the first week, really working it through which used a decent amount of product and my hair is SHORT. Once I had the tone I wanted, I started using it like a regular shampoo. Gloves are recommended. I have never had any staining of skin around the hairline, ears, neck, etc. but it will stain your hands. I was able to scrub most of it off of my hands, but weirdly I had a French gel manicure, and it turned my nails a strange neon fuscia color that was budge proof till I filed the gel off. Also my scalp is a lovely light lavender color 🙃 but can only be seen when I intentionally part my hair around to look. The only staining I have had of fixtures like the tub and sink occurred when straight product went onto a dry surface. Using it like a regular shampoo in the shower was fine. All in all I have been really happy with this Klenditioner. My scalp and hair look really healthy, and I liked it enough to add it to my "subscribe and save" so it has become a part of my life now. 😂

I spent almost $500 for "big color" purple only to have it fade horribly within a week. I was shooting for lavender color. I used this product and POW purple was BACK. THe funny thing is when I complained to my stylist, and asked for a recommendation for a good color deposit shampoo, it took her a week to find a product. In the meantime, I bought this based on the reviews. When I picked up the product she'd recommend from her, it was the SAME product. I have found applying it wet does just fine, but if you want VIBRANT color, apply when your hair is dry. Comb through to ensure even distribution. You should wear gloves though it won't stain too horribly bad for too long. For full disclosure, my hair was bleached to a light blond before the stylist applied the original purple so it works VERY VERY well on my hair. In the roots area that I purposely had left brown, it still shows, but maybe as a slight pinker hue of purple. With the conditioner in it, it leaves my hair very soft and brushable. I still use additional leave in conditioner as I do style with heating elements. As I mentioned I was shooting for lavender, after I use the product, the color lightens as you wash so after a wash or two using regular shampoo (non-sulfate), I achieve that lavender, but I am also enjoying the vibrant purple. I recently purchase the pink shade of this product just to play around with the colors. The price point is great, so I would recommend trying it. If your hair is darker, apply it dry, leave it on for 15-20 minutes then rinse it out.

Helps with color hue a little bit, but not as much as I was hoping for price. I colored my hair purple. I bought this to help keep up with my hair in between coloring. On the back shows what your hair color should look like after so many washes. That part is 100 false. I just did my 2nd month go around with it. After my last recent hair coloring of purple I bought a new bottle and used strictly this. However the color still kept coming out and never showing bold purple again on my pre lightened hair. Mind you I did not use any other shampoo or condition besides this for a whole month. For temporary purple hue help its nice, to help keep the actual color in it failed. even after leaving it in multiple times of 10-30 minutes.

I am really happy with this product! I am a long-time Overtone customer, but their recent product change of Vivid Violet turned my purple hair blue. I was looking for a product to achieve purple hair that was easy to apply and wouldn’t stain my white tile shower. Keracolor is it!! It gave me a nice color, made my hair feel great, and smells nice as well. I am so pleased!

I love this shampoo so much! I have used multiple colors over about a year and a half: Purple, silver, silver-blue, platinum. 1. Yes, it is a shampoo/conditioner - and they mean it. I've never used a shampoo/conditioner that I didn't have to use extra conditioner with. Not this stuff. It is a stand-alone product for sure. I have naturally dark brown hair, so I have to bleach the heck out of it for any color other than browns, dark reds, or blacks - which is very damaging! The Clenditioner ALMOST LEAVES MY HAIR FEELING NORMAL! Someday when I decide to go back to brunette, I'll buy the colorless Clenditioner, for sure. I've worked in a salon and have tried everything under the sun, but nothing makes my hair feel as good as this stuff. 2. The learning curve: You have to decide how it is going to work best for you. If you want an even, all-over color, you are either going to have to use it multiple times, or dump a ton on your hair all at once. Personally, I like to use a light color as an all-over shampoo, and then pull out small bunches for accent in blue or purple. Not only does this provide definition, but I never have the same hair twice. It's always an update, which I love. The darker colors "take" much more vividly than the light colors, of course. Also, they "take" the most where they are directly applied, before emulsified. You have to be very careful with this. If you are used to coating your palms with your shampoo and then slapping it on your head, you are going to end up with two handprints on your hair. I did not find much advantage to applying to dry hair, but I didn't try very hard, either. 3. No, it is not as temporary as advertised. The more damage that your hair has, the easier the color is going to imprint and STAY. If you are like me and had to really really bleach your hair in order to enjoy these colors, be prepared to enjoy it for a good long while. ;D However, if you are the Mother of Dragons with naturally platinum, perfect virgin hair, you will probably find that it is a bit more temporary. 4. Last, the bottle. Open it *before* you get your hands wet. It is usually VERY tight. You have to grasp the tiny disk that is directly below the pump, and then turn the pump (a lot) until it pops up. You might want to use pliers. Then, there is the tube. It is supposed to reach all the way down to the bottom of the bottle. Well... sometimes it is an inch too short, and sometimes it is an inch longer than will fit. It is usually broken off and jagged, and really leaves you wondering, "what the heck happened here???" The worst-case scenario is that you end up pouring the last bit out instead of pumping it. It really isn't a big deal. However, when I do come across a good pump/tube assembly, I just keep transferring it to the next bottle.

Highly recommend using this if you've coloured your hair helps hold the colour longer

I love these colour conditioner/masks! I’ve tried the purple and rose gold. The purple is super vibrant and so far has lasted a while. The rose gold was nice and much softer colour. My hair is platinum blonde and soaks up the colour really well.

Estoy muy feliz con este producto, la verdad que cuida y protege muy bien el cabello, te lo deja suavecito después de la aplicación y más o menos el dolorcito me dura entre 3 y 5 días, tengan en cuanta que se deslava y hay que volver a reaplicar. Yo me lo aplico en mi cabello seco y lo dejo actuar de 40 a 50 minutos y luego lo enjuagó con agua fría para mejores resultados. La entrega fue en el día que decía Amazon, llegaron en perfecto estado.

Works well to help you maintain your haircolour. Love it!

Deja el color increíble, tiene buen aroma y no maltrata el cabello
