Color Depositing Conditioner - Color Refresher with Bondfix Bond Rebuilder, Viral and Gem Lites, Pairs with Colorwash

REVIEW FOR PURPLE & RUBY Technique: What I've found works best is to apply generously to dry, relatively clean hair (not too oIily), then leave in for several hours. This way it also works well as a conditioning treatment. If you wash your hair only 1-2 times a week, it will last at least a month with a very slow fade. Look: The colors are very vibrant for the first couple of washes. The ruby is hot pink with lighter shades of hair (i.e. my grays) and a deep ruby on my brown. Both of these take really well to my grays. I get SO many compliments with these, more than I have ever had on my hair in the past. People love the variation between how the color takes to my grays vs browns, and they also love the transition when I've done the purple and my hair starts to grow out where you can see both the gray and the purple (they say it looks ombre-ish. TBH the Ruby is a little much for me - I feel like it's not as complimentary to my light skin tone in pics, so I will probably go for a more natural red next time. Photos: Both pics are after several washes. Cons: It will stain surfaces, so you have to be so careful. I cover the counter/sink with trash bags to avoid getting it on anything. It will also bleed quite a bit after washes, so you want to make sure you cover any surfaces your head is on with a towel if air drying your hair. I chose this over the brand I normally get (by Moroccan Oil) bc they didn't have the deep shade of purple I wanted. From what I remember, the Moroccan Oil leaves my hair feeling softer, but color seems to bleed faster than this one. I use a small amount of leave-in Biosilk daily which makes up for the softness I got with the Moroccan Oil brand.

I know this is pricey but these products are soooo worth it. Not only do they make my hair so soft and smell amazing, they really boost my color and help keep it vibrant in between the salon. I don't use daily because of the price, but when I use the color wash or conditioner I always have people ask me if I just had it done and want to know what the color is called 😍

I have dark brown hair and my stylist dyes it with purple and red overtones to give it some variety and pizzazz. The purple always fades before my next salon visit and I'm left with the red which gets a little brassy. She recommended this conditioner to keep the purple bright and it's been working great. I've been using it for a few months and it does keep the purple overtones- it's not super obvious or distracting, especially indoors- outdoors it's brighter and has more pop. I get a lot of compliments on my color much further from my salon visits now. It does temporarily stain hands and white tile and towels, but it washes out right away.

The color in the shampoo and conditioners are so vibrant. I have never had so many compliments on my color before. Even my hairdresser loves that I use this shampoo it’s not purple in your face - it’s subtle and beautiful.

Not sure how it works on hair yet, but it stained my hands beautifully while opening it. 🙄

Works GREAT, but important to know that it will NOT dye your hair on its own. It will provide some subtle coloring, but it’s not meant for that. It does exactly what it’s meant to do though and kept my purple highlights going on my dark hair for well over a year as it deposits the color back into what has been dyed.

I used this shampoo on my 25 DS Diva..she has light brown hair & usually gets a burgundy or purple ..I filled directions exactly..even left in 15 min longer..! The only thing that returned purple was our sink , her scalp our brushes & my hands..! Didn’t even touch her hair one bit with color.! Big Bummer.!

I love this because my color was stripping from my hair and it was starting to look coopery. After using this at least once a week, my color looks freshly done. I would suggest wearing gloves while using it, though the color does come off fairly quick from your hands.
