Keracolor Color + Clenditioner 3-in-1 Color-Depositing Conditioner, Gently Cleanses & Conditions, Semi-Permanent Hair Color, 23 Shades, 12 Fl Oz

I’m not one to dye my hair. But it’s like Coronavirus Color Challenge since I can’t go to the salon.My hair comes in a mousey-blonde naturally, then lightens to almost platinum on its own in the sun. So I usually just get highlights to deal with the darker blonde color at my roots....It’s been months. I was like whatever, I’ll try something new - it’s not like anyone will see it. I’ve always liked Kelly Osbourne’s hair. I didn’t know how to do it without making my hair fall out...so I started with a box dye, One you’d get from CVS and did a whole head color of light/ash blonde. I didn’t bleach it...too scared. The box dye lightened me up a bit, but the roots looked orange-brassy.Still feeling a mess...I decided to go for the pink look. I saw the reviews and pics for this product and was like “meh, this will washout.” Why not!?I DID put it everywhere the first time, following the instructions to apply it to wet hair. It was easy to apply, it’s just like a conditioning mask texture. Doesn’t drip. Kinda’ idiot proof that way. Anyhow, it produced a nice light color - not quite as bold as I thought - but I enjoyed it and my hair was soft and various colors of pink. I did it! Gold star!Then I got greedy for more cowbell! ...I mean pink. So I took everyone’s advice and ran through that process again - wet hair, rinse, and blow dry. Not bad! It looked a TAD darker and I was pleased.Honestly, I don’t have thick hair or much of it but I suck at getting ALL my hair covered with the conditioner and I had blotches. I could use a friend to get that stuff everywhere. I did use a comb throughout application. I’m not patient enough to apply it differently in certain areas and blah blah blah So...yeah that’s why it’s blotchy. My fault. But it does comb through nicely without tangling - if your worried about your hair being a tumbleweed, that’s not gonna’ happen.Ok Ok ...Scrooge McDucked it the next morning because when I woke up the next day, I put a room full of coins you can dive in amount of it on my DRY hair. I let it sit for probably an hour. Mind you, despite having naturally blonde/light hair (and since I didn’t bleach it) nothing really tends to “sticks” to my hair very well. Even permanent dye from the salon washes out of my hair in a few days!Anyway! These pics are from the rinse off after the DRY application. By the way, the bottle is huge-or a little goes a long way. I think doing this 3 times on my full head of hair I probably still have 75% of the bottle left.Also, It doesn’t smell heinous. Actually, it’s got an enjoyable maybe sweet-floral sent. HOWEVER, You WILL get a little “burn” if you let it touch your face/forehead for a tad too long. Oops! It goes away quickly.And yes, will also get pink hands if you’re like me and take like an hour to get the stuff in your hair. I just used a magic eraser and some alcohol/nail polish and warm soap and water and it came right off.Again, My hair is still very soft. In fact, I would say since using this, my fine hair has had fewer and fewer little rats-nest tangles in it from just daily wear (wind, chores, lipstick getting in it - cement last week - look, I said I’m a mess).I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on my hair with this, since I sent pics of it to my pals who actually wouldn’t have seen it if it sucked because Coronavirus! Yay!It seems like it will rinse out within a month - for me - probably much sooner. But as it rinses out, it also seems like it will look decent - maybe NOT a mess. If it’s kinda’ meh, I was thinking of trying a peachy color.Final note: even if you’re not one of those people that are good with hair and makeup and girl-stuff, you CAN manage this. It’s just like a regular conditioner you’d have in your shower - except it dyes your hair. Also, I didn’t find it stained my sink or shower. I don’t even think it stained the little “hair towel turban” I used to flip it up when I let it sit. Maybe slightly pink? No more than if a brush full of makeup fell on it. (Yes FULL of makeup - I usually look like Harley Quinn when I “try” makeup so...yeh, a brush full). It’ll prolly wash out, though!So, yeah. Don’t be a mess. Even if you are a mess...you should try this. You won’t MAKE a mess; you’ll look cool? I don’t know...can you pull off pink when you’re almost 40? Whatever - you might have a moment of clarity about covid-coloring your hair and your coolness or lack thereof as correlated to age ...maybe profession. Prolly shouldn’t have done this before a job interview...meh, color cabin fever, what can you do?I’m glad I took a chance and put the effort in! Do it up, it’s fun! ^_^

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.

It arrived neatly wrapped with no damages or leaks. The product has a nice smell. I applied it to dry hair and let sit for about 20-30 mins then rinsed it off. My hair felt soft and smooth as if using conditioner afterwards and was easily brushed. Some spots i could've applied more but I missed it. But now my hair has a beautiful blue ombre to it. My hair was already blue and I bought this to help keep up the color. So far the color scheme seems to be accurate, it's a bit vibrant in color, I like all the colors in the scheme so I have no plans to how often or not I'll be washing this in to get a desired hue.Overall, I like it and it works. No staining of the tub when rinsing, no foul smells, no allergic reactions (so far).
