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

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! (updates 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. UPDATE APRIL 13, 2026 Still using, still happy. I picked up another compliment from a hairdresser commenting how beautiful my hair is and to never color it. I have this on subscription, and already have three bottles on standby. However, I noticed it's nearly half off today, so ordering a couple more to save money in the long run. Because I never want to be without it. Hope they never discontinue this product, because that ALWAYS happens when I find something I absolutely love. If you are thinking about buying this, now is the time to give it a shot and save some money! ❤️💲💵💸

I read a ton of reviews on many different hair gloss brands and finally chose to try this one. I LOVE IT! I first purchased the auburn one because, I felt the copper looked too orange in review pics. The auburn was a beautiful color but it was darker than what I wanted. I then purchased the copper, and mixed it with the auburn. 20 pumps from each bottle for hair that is past my shoulders. It made THE PERFECT color! Almost cinnamon like. Not orange and not too dark like the auburn one. Another plus for me is how many uses you can get from one single bottle. I still have plenty left even in the auburn bottle which I've now used twice. It smells really nice and makes my hair silky soft. Only down side is it only lasts around 3-4 washes for me, but I still think all the other pros for this brand outweigh this one con for me. Also quick tip, nail polish remover quickly removes this off countertops and my white door so don't freak out if it splashes anywhere. The bottle says to leave it on between 3-20 minutes depending on how intense you want the color. I did 10 min my first try and 12 on my next try when I mixed the colors.

I hope this review is helpful! I was once a trained hairstylist although it’s been a long time since I have been in the industry as I’ve been raising my family, however, I do have a good understanding of the different color options and how they work. This would definitely be something in the semi-permanent realm. I remember using a similar product as a child but this is way better! So- a little background: I have a natural color at a level 6 (which is a light brunette) and in the summer, certain pieces will naturally lighten to more of a 7 (dark blonde) and I also have just a small amount of very subtle highlighting in through the ends that I had put in at a salon to give my hair a little dimension but for the most part, my hair is virgin (not color treated) and fairly mousey. In the summer it pulls a little golden but in winter my roots seem pretty dull. (I live in northern Minnesota) I do have auburn hints but it needs sunlight to really see it. ANYWAY- I wanted something I could use to just give a little bit of life and interest to my hair but that is not super high maintenance as I do not have the means to visit a salon all the time. I purchased the copper conditioner since I already have red-head vibes with fair skin and freckles. I LOVE IT so far! As a semi-permanent color, it will not turn your hair the exact color of the product (as in, it will not remove any of your current pigment as a lightener or permanent color will) but simply add the pigment to your existing hair. (Think of it like a stain) If you are light blonde, I am guessing it would make your hair VERY orange over time using it but if you have very dark or black hair, it’s unlikely to show at all. For me, my level 6 brown at my roots did not show much difference- just a very very slight orange hue- but my level 7 dark blonde ends from highlights and sun bleaching turned a very natural looking coppery orange. I wanted it to be fairly subtle and it is that! For this first time, I applied to dry hair as recommended and let sit for a bit while I took a soak in my tub- then I rinsed it out and shampooed as normal. I can’t speak yet to how long it lasts but from what I know of similar products, I should likely just be able to use the conditioner as an actual conditioner every few showers to maintain as bright of an effect as I wish or else just wash several times for the color to fade altogether if I want. I just applied my first round but it smells fine and my hair is soft and manageable. I like it a lot! This seems like a great way for someone with my hair type to add a little bit of life and flare without hardly any effort. I can’t wait to curl it tomorrow and see the pretty copper tones working through the ends! Highly recommend for light brunette to dark blondes! - I will mention that I did apply with gloves but I didn’t get much staining on my hairline or shower so I’m not sure if it was really necessary.

Tldr: copper is lovely! I originally dyed my hair a 7w Demi-permanent color, which was really just a warm-looking light brown, but I really wanted redder hair. This definitely pushed me from brownish red to red. Just the tone I was looking for, without the damage! And as the brown fades out and I top off the red after each wash, it gets redder each time. Love it. Note: pre-lightening your hair will absolutely get you a brighter color. My bangs were the most highlighted, and this picked up a brighter copper pigment. The rest of my hair was heavily balayaged before going brown (both at home lol) so picked up more color depending on how lightened it was before going brown. On my virgin roots, the color is a lot less intense. My natural hair is a 6-7N, medium neutral blonde. Coloring my un-highlighted hair to a level 7w with level 10 developer opened up the follicle enough to get some nice copper absorption. Virgin hair is resistant to color because essentially, it’s undamaged. Coloring hair even with a gentle, minimally damaging Demi-permanent color with level 10 developer seems to be enough to help a glaze like keracolor to absorb. I actually would recommend doing an all-over Demi-permanent red if you’re looking for a similar result. I’ve really liked ion’s 7wr and 7w but Wella also has a beautiful red (at least it used to). That way, the color will be deeper, the Kenra will absorb better, and then you can deepen the red with it every other wash. If, for example, you have highlights or balayage, this will mostly probably stick to the blonde which may not be what you are going for. However, if you have highlights and THEN do an all-over Demi red, you will get an even more vivid, brighter red. If your hair is already fully platinum, this will look super bright. Immediately after the very first pass, my hair was brigggghht red. After washing it once or twice, it mellows into a more convincing, natural fox fur shade. But I do like the bright a lot. I will absolutely order this color again and I love that it’s deposit-only on my pre-colored hair so it’s less damaging. UPDATE (11/28): Some customers said this product caused shedding, and I’ve used it long enough to say that I think it does! My hair has been through a lot, including bleaching and dying it a few times, but I still don’t recall shedding this much with the normal abuse I put my hair through lol. I think this product might be drying? I can’t imagine what else could cause it. I had used it in different colors before, and didn’t notice anything unusual, but I did not use it heavily (every other wash) like I’m doing now. That might make a difference. Is it a dealbreaker? Not sure yet. I will finish the rest of the product but I’m not sure yet whether I will repurchase.

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! I am a natural redhead and have never colored my hair. As I have gotten older, my hair has gotten "blonder" (which is actually gray but appears on redheads as blonde) and my once vibrant red hair has changed color. This conditioner not only makes my hair soft but brings life back to the red tone my hair use to have. And it looks completely natural as well. I have used this on both dry and slightly damp hair. I leave it on for about an hour or more as leaving it on for a shorter period did not give me the saturation I wanted. I use the Copper Shade. I would suggest using an old towel or a dark towel when drying hair after the initial rinse. There is some residual color that transfers. I had no problem washing the color off of my hands or rinsing my shower. No color transfered to my pillowcase either.

Wanted to try a subtle change and I think it turned out good. Super easy to apply, I used a dye brush for the roots to make sure I got good coverage, but used my hands to apply the rest. Smells good, doesnt drip. The instructions say to apply wet and let sit for 15 minutes but I did it on dry hair for around 40. It looks very copper in the sun, but indoors is a more subtle tint.

I absolutely love this product! I’ve tried several color-depositing conditioners, and nothing has worked as well as this one. I have naturally red/copper hair that has faded with age, and this brings the vibrancy back without looking unnatural. It refreshes my color, adds shine, and leaves my hair feeling soft instead of dry. I use it once or twice a week to keep my copper tones looking fresh between salon visits. If you have natural red, copper, or auburn hair that’s lost some of its richness over time, I highly recommend giving this a try.

The product itself works really well. My issue is with the bottle. They've changed it and now there is no indicator arrow to show how to open it so you can use the pump. No matter which way I spin the top, the pump doesn't come out. Please go back to the old bottle style, or add instructions.

Buen producto que te deja color en el cabello y evitas estar pintandotelo tan constantemente Te puedes ahorrar hasta dos semanas de retoque

It was a good price, but the item came damaged. The pump head fell off.

I am a natural Ginger and thought I would try this for an extra boost of vibrance (my hair has never been permanently coloured) I have only used it once and used it on dampened hair with a spray bottle. I have tried several of these types of products in the past. I put it on damp let it sit for a bit 30 minutes and then washed in shower it was not messy at all. I am very pleased with it so far, will use again and recommend.

Waste of money in my opinion. It give just a slight touch of "potential" shade.....but definitely not what \i should expect after 30 min of applying this conditioner.

After buying a different brand, which wasn’t even good, I bought this one and I’m so pleased with the results. The colour is great and I’m getting compliments on my hair colour wherever I go! I’ll definitely keep buying this brand and try some other shades.
