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!

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.

Y'all.....Y'all- I just. I can't even rave about this enough. This is so worth every single dollar. My hair stylist used this on my hair after my recent cut and color I had booked. I was a little nervous at first because I was expecting more traditional dye, and didn't think a shampoo had a hope in hell of providing the right depth of color for this shade of purple...Not to mention I assumed it would promptly wash out. Nope! Oh my god was I wrong and dang I'm glad I was so wrong. It's obviously a little on the pricier end for a "shampoo", but it is so worth it, because it was cheaper than going and getting my hair dyed, and then needing a touch up within a few months to preserve the color. Instead, I can use this shampoo every so often to freshen up my color, and I'm good to go! I wash my hair every other day, and use this shampoo once a week when I want to keep the color SUPER vibrant and deep, but if I don't mind a hint of washed out color (really just at my roots, it's just a little lighter), I use it only once over a period of 2 or 3 weeks. I have not yet tested how long I can go before the color is totally gone, because I just love the color so much. It is so dep and rich and perfect. As recommended by my stylist, I actually apply the shampoo to my hair dry sometimes, to get a richer color, and then I leave it on for about 5 minutes. If I shampoo it into wet hair, I still leave it on for about 5 minutes, but I definitely get a bolder shade when it's applied to dry hair. I also use the companion conditioner twice a month, but that shade of purple is not quite as vibrant, it's more of a gentle deep purple if that makes sense. On my other wash days, I am just using my regular color safe, natural shampoo and conditioner. My hair smells great, stays soft, looks healthy, and I can't recommend this enough. I plan to buy a few other colors to have some fun with in the coming months.

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.
