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

So I spent $450 dollars to get hot pink balayage/two tone hair. To my dismay the pink faded within 2 weeks almost out to blonde at my tips and a dull pink towards my roots. I contacted my hairdresser who said I could go back in for an overlay of color for $150. After just spending $450 two and a half weeks before there was no way I was going to agree to $150 upkeep appointments every 2 to 3 weeks. I researched hot pink hair dye and found Arctic Fox that was very close to my original color. I ordered the dye and figured I’d just have to dye it myself every few weeks (at $20 a pop) Then this product popped up in my search so I clicked on it. It had great reviews and it seemed like it might do the job so I ordered it to give it a try. Both this and the hair dye came in at the same time and I opted to try the conditioner first. I put it on my dry hair and let it sit for 20 minutes to get the most bang for my buck. It did dye my hands and scalp pink. My hands scrubbed off and I’m sure my scalp will at my next wash. I did Have to use a separate conditioner after rinsing out this product. My hair was NOT soft as it was advertised it would be. I did rinse my hair off in the shower and the water did turn pink but it did not stain my white tub. I’m extremely pleased with the color my hair came out. It’s not as bright of a pink as my hair was originally dyed. It’s more of a vibrant magenta. However, it is pretty and my color is definitely refreshed. I think from now on I’ll use it for 5 minutes as a refresh every few washes and see if that lightens up the color a little more. The price point is fairly high but for $40 I will get several applications (my hair is fairly fine, down to my mid back). I will continue to see my hairdresser every 8 to 10 weeks and use this conditioner to keep my color vibrant in between. If you are on the fence and are looking for something to keep your hair vibrant colors in between dye appointments I would high recommend this product!****UPDATE****I’m at day 10 since I used this conditioner. I didn’t wash in cold water and I’ve washed my hair twice. So far the color is holding up! It’s still very vibrant. There is a very slight fade going on at my tips but I only noticed it because I was going over my hair with an eagle eye specifically looking for any fading. This color (so far) held up better than the color I had done in the salon. Go figure!

REVIEW FOR PURPLE & RUBYTechnique: 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.

This conditioner is amazing for bleached + pink dyed hair. I have been ordering it to touch up my magenta/hot pink hair between appointments. To get the true color you need to hair your hair bleached to a very light blonde (if it's dark like mine naturally). You can see in other reviews the color that you get when the hair is a darker blonde or light brown. Compared to regular hair color, it holds for several washes and while it does stain my towels initially, it doesn't leave stains on clothes or pillowcases!Very important: It will stain your nails and hands temporarily so use gloves to apply, section the hair and rub it in the way that hair dressers do. You also need to cover the sink or floor when applying. If you see staining in your shower or sink, use bleach right away and let it sit for a minute. This usually does the trick. Highly recomend overall as a conditioner as well. My hair comes out super soft after this process.

Love it! My highlights really pop and I constantly get asked if I just dyed my hair. I did, however, notice an increase in my hair loss.

Great for upkeep on the bright colors. My hair ended up fading pretty bad after not doing upkeep and this brought it back to it's original vivid color (: It deposits so fast and it smells really good but it does stain the tub or other surfaces it comes into contact with

Purchased the Graphite color which actually comes out of the bottle a purple grey. It toned down my brassy blonde ends. Trying to match my grey roots during the grow out period. Definitely made it better but not as much of a change as I'd hoped. I washed my hair, towel dried, applied thoroughly and left on 15 minutes. Next time I'll put it on my clean dry hair and leave it in for 20 minutes and update the pictures
