Keracolor Clenditioner Color Depositing Conditioner Colorwash, Copper, 12 fl. oz.

TL;DR Easy to use. Didn't turn my virgin hair orange. Applied on wet natural red virgin hair for 8 minutes. Smell isn't bad. Hair left soft and conditioned. Achieved desired results. Reapply once a week (or as needed). Highly recommend! (updates at the bottom) I'm 43 years old and my hair is starting to darken out to an auburn I don't really care much for. People are starting to call my red hair brunette. Makes me sad I'm losing the vibrancy of my red!! After reading the reviews I was scared to try this. Many were way more orange than I wanted. Most are on already bleached/color treated hair. The application times and methods were all over the place. I wanted only subtle change and nothing drastic. I wanted to keep my red hair natural looking, but make the color pop again. I read through SO MANY of these reviews trying to decide if I should and how to execute this flawlessly. Lol APPLICATION METHOD I USED: I decided to stay on the safe side and apply it in the shower on wet hair for 8 minutes. If it wasn't enough I would up the time. I know it washes out but I didn't want to have to take 3 showers to tone it down and waste unnecessary product. I washed my hair with shampoo first to make sure my scalp and roots were clean and free of oils. Then used approximately 6 pumps total and worked it into my hair (like shampoo) again. Then ran a comb through it all from root to ends to ensure even distribution. After my 8 minute timer went off, I Rinsed with cool water and got out. I used a hair dryer to dry my hair. Curled it all then took the photo. ROOTS: I noticed many mentioned their roots not being touched and I'm not sure on those if they were all on people with color treated hair. I felt like I read one natural that felt the roots got neglected. There was no issues with my roots STAINING: I had no issues with staining. Applying in the shower I just worked it into my hair and didn't get it everywhere. Rinsed my hands immediately once I got it in there. SMELL I personally liked the smell. It's not very strong. I'm honestly surprised it even has been mentioned. CONDITIONING It left my hair feeling soft. It was nearly slipping out of my curling iron afterwards. COLOR I am happy with the color it has added. Very subtle, but I can tell. It did not completely cover my greys but I do think one wash with it toned them down. Is exactly what I was looking for. I might wait a couple washes and then leave it on wet hair for 10 minutes. Then update with a photo. MAINTAIN COLOR: I apply this about once a week and apply it more to my roots than the rest of my hair. Then comb out down through my wet hair with a large toothed comb so that it blends in, but doesn't continue to overdue the ends as much. EYEBROWS: I've applied this to my eyebrows so that they match better. Must do so carefully unless you want stains around your brows. ;) REMOVE COLOR: I accidentally discovered that Apple Cider Vinegar shampoo will take most all of the color out in one wash! I wanted to add this for anybody that would like to reverse the process after undesired results. I LOVE that this has and will revived my natural red hair!! Highly recommend to my fellow natural redhead sistas!! UPDATE: It's really hard to get the red to show up in pictures, but I wanted to update how things were going on this product. It is now April 3, 2024. After a few applications I received the shade I used to be. I use this once a week and only for about 5 minutes on wet hair. UPDATE: I have now been using this for over a year as needed to blend in at the roots to keep it looking vibrant and natural. In Sept 2024 I received a complement from a flight attendant telling me to never color my hair. Trust her that she used to be a hairdresser. So pleased she couldn't tell I touch up my natural red hair. Made my day. :) Last picture is today after a year use. Dec 28, 2024. UPDATE APRIL 13, 2026 Still using, still happy. I picked up another compliment from a hairdresser commenting how beautiful my hair is and to never color it. I have this on subscription, and already have three bottles on standby. However, I noticed it's nearly half off today, so ordering a couple more to save money in the long run. Because I never want to be without it. Hope they never discontinue this product, because that ALWAYS happens when I find something I absolutely love. If you are thinking about buying this, now is the time to give it a shot and save some money! ❤️💲💵💸

Perfect match for my copper hair. Last for ages!

No effect at all.

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.

I used the copper color. It’s not horrible! As expected, the color really grips on to the dryer parts of your hair. My ends are very bright copper! I’d definitely leave it on longer if you’re doing virgin hair or apply it to dry hair.
