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

Okay, so I did days of reading on various coloring products and reviews and photos, etc., before deciding on this for my granddaughter's pretty dark brown hair. She had previously, about 8 weeks prior, had some of the ends bleached and colored red at the salon. It faded nearly instantly at the first shower and then with one swim it was essentially all gone and left a bit of a golden lighter brown color. It was costly, very costly. More color was purchased but it was a peroxide mix and after reading lots of reviews I realized for many people that faded, especially red, just as fast as other semi-permanent colors without the bleaching. As you can see her hair is pretty long. We used not quite half of the bottle I think, and smeared it throughout her hair from about the chin down, not putting any above that. Covered it with a light plastic cap, but used no heat of any kind. Let it sit 2 hrs then rinsed out with cool water. Probably only rinsed about 3 or 4 minutes. While it was wet you could see the red tint but after drying for the most part, you could really see the red, especially outside in the sunlight. She was very happy with this and I will update as time goes by, noting how long it lasts. I just ordered the cleanser/conditioner so we will use that once it arrives. For now we will not be using any shampoo and just rinsing the hair a few times a week in the shower and using the color+clenditioner as needed to maintain the color. Not sure how often that will be just yet. The color is phenomenal, though, and I'm surprised it took so well with her hair being dark. This smells really good and is so easy to use, not a drip anywhere. I didn't use gloves because I just can't do anything with gloves, and the color washed off my hands almost completely the first try. My cell camera doesn't really accurately portray the color red on anything so these are exactly accurate but mostly. It's very pretty. I would highly recommend this if you don't want to bleach your hair, and even if you do. The red tint this gives off even on the darker parts where it's not as pronounced is just beautiful, like a vivid deep auburn. We are really, really happy with this!

Smells good, leaves my hair soft, and perfect for in between professional hair appointments. My hair was a darker brown, previously blonde before that, after a few sessions using cinnamon and red it's become vibrant.

The color deposits evenly while leaving my hair feeling soft and hydrated. I love that it refreshes my color without drying out my hair, and it’s so easy to use. It helps keep my hair looking vibrant between salon visits and leaves it feeling smooth and healthy.

Impressive results if you have already semi-lightened hair, but doesn’t seem like it would work on natural dark hair. For example, I have very dark brown hair but got a warm-toned balayage earlier this year. After the toner completely faded, I bought two bottles of Keracolor in red and copper hoping to revitalize my balayage. When I apply it to my whole head, my natural dark brown roots don’t take on any color, but anywhere my hair was lightened from my balayage soaks up the color extremely vibrantly. I was really surprised by how much color was deposited, actually, after some trial and error. The first time I used it, I followed the instructions on the bottle by wetting my hair first. As you’d expect, not a shocking amount of color was deposited, but it did color my hair. Ever since then, I’ve followed some other reviewer suggestions and only apply it to dry hair, wait 20+ minutes, then rinse. I try not to wash my hair often at all, as the color is temporary. Every time you wash, you will lose color. Even using my color protectant shampoo, it lasts about 3-4 washes before my hair is almost completely back to square one. I bought the Mocha for my husband who has dirty blond hair and his hair really didn’t look any different or darker to me after his application, so that was a little confusing and disappointing, but we will try again soon to see if we get better results. The smell isn’t that bad and it leaves your hair surprisingly soft and moisturized. I have and will recommend it as long as your hair is light enough.

I work at a hair salon and that makes it surprisingly hard to find time to get my hair done. My mentor gave me highlights with a red glaze on top. Anyone who colors their hair red knows how fast it fades (VERY). Got this to revamp my red in between glazes. It went above and beyond expectations. Firstly, the red was sooo vibrant and brighter than a glaze. It also lasts only a little less time than a normal glaze for me. I used to box dye my hair for almost 10 years and this is easier to apply than that. I got SO many compliments in and out of work. I got about 4 applications out of it (as you can see my hair isn’t very long but it is thick). For $23 that is a steal. It’s less mess than box dye because it is thicker. I have been beyond impressed and am about to buy another bottle. My steps: 1. put on gloves and apply on dry hair from root to ends (I did dry hair each time for more vibrancy) 2. completely saturate hair and twist on top of head 3. left on for 1 hour (you don’t have to leave it on nearly this long, I just wanted the most color for my buck!) 4. get in the shower and rinse until water is as clear as possible (it won’t be completely clear, no red dye ever will be) 5. condition with my normal conditioner (pureology hydrate sheer) not because hair is not soft after, but because i wanted to scrub it off of scalp and hair as much as possible without stripping it with shampoo Hair is so soft, smells great, and has great color after. It will stain towels, but I didn’t have an issue with bad staining on my tub or anything (if you’re careful not to splatter it and rinse what you do splatter after). 10 stars from an apprentice at a hair salon. FIRST PIC is after using this product. SECOND PIC is after a normal glaze at my salon.

As someone who dyes their hair bright red this red is great at maintaining my vibrancy without having to constantly go to the salon. It's summer time and I try not to dye my hair this time of year because being in the sun and water strips the color. I apply the product to my dry hair (while wearing gloves) and I put a shower cap over it for about 30 minutes before I hop in the shower and wash it out. I use an after color conditioner that helps seal the color in and make my hair softer and it's great. I did try the bright pink shade before and was very disappointed in the results but the red is amazing. I haven't dyed my hair in 8 months but this helps bridge the gap.

I’m really happy with the product itself, but the bottle design made me waste so much of the remaining conditioner. First, the suction tube is way too short, so it can’t reach the product at the bottom. Second, because the bottle is square-shaped, even turning it upside down doesn’t help—the remaining conditioner just gets stuck in the corners and won’t come out! Please put this in a squeeze tube, or at the very least, use a bottle with a rounded top so the product can actually flow toward the opening. The product is great, but the packaging is so frustrating!

I lost my hair color at 24, my hair one day just stopped growing out my honey brown color I've had my whole life and just started growing in white with patches of siliver. Box dye no longer was sticking to my hiar. I was damaging my hair to try and cover the white hair with no luck. After I figured out having healthy hair was far more important to me. I no longer dye my hair. I was orginally interested in Overtone but Overtone was just not in my budget and i have long hair so I looked for a cheaper knock off, more bang for my buck. I kept coming back to this product. I made the choice of red,I love red hair. When this is on my head It smells so good. I actually had towel dried hair when I applied it because It came within 24 hours of ordering product and I simply was not expecting it so soon. I did wear gloves because red is a pain in the but to remove from my fair skin. I carefully spread the product all over my hair and wrap it up for 2 hours. Rinsed my hair for a good 20 mins and was shocked by how amazing my color was after one use. In fact I have only had to use this product once so far and my hair is still red 2 months later. I don't use it as an all the time solution because I am happy with how my hair is 2 months later. I still have 90% of the product left and will reapply in the next week or so to refresh my look. I have a 14 year old and a and 8 year old who also love to switch things up and now because we are stuck at home and are all in vitual learning I have allowed them to color their hair using this brand. My daughters have dark brown hair and they ordered the blue and purple, they did not lighten their hair to apply and had some great results. Product does not dry or damage hair, it lightly conditions and leaves hair in better health than ever before. 10 out of 10 I would highly suggest this product to anyone who is looking to color but not damage their hair.

Love this! I use it to keep my red hair colour between hair appointments. I have natural dark brown hair and this even colours my roots slightly. I put it on dry hair and leave it in for 30min and the wash it out. Just use gloves as this really does make everything red!

El mejor pigmento, muy vibrante y ayuda muchisimo a mantener el color

I use this product when my red hair from the salon fades. The colour pay off is really really strong. Tbh it’s abit too strong for my liking but I use it to keep the red from fading too much. My hair is bleached so the colour shows up very bright. I would say the colour lasts about 2 weeks if you shower twice daily. However you need to know, after using this product, it will dry out your hair even with the conditioning agent in the dye. So take extra care of your hair after that. Also I used it on dirty hair and it didn’t make a difference, so no need to wash your hair before application if you have bleached hair I think. (I have black hair and bleached it once, so base colour is orangey, not yellow/white bleached hair)

This is an excellent shampoo, it leaves my hair soft and feeling healthy!...... it also keeps my dyed hair looking red. Only downside is it will stain your hands or shower curtain when using
