Color + Clenditioner 3-in-1 Color-Depositing Conditioner, Gently Cleanses & Conditions, Semi-Permanent Hair Color, 23 Shades, 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! (update 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.

I tried the Keracolor Color + Clenditioner in Merlot because I knew I’d need something to maintain my hair color between salon visits. I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how well this works—it leaves my color vibrant and refreshed without the hassle of a full dye. A few tips: some reviews mention it can get messy, and that’s true—it’s very pigmented, so handle it like you would a traditional box dye. I always use gloves, a brush applicator, and am very careful while rinsing to avoid stains. That small caution is worth it for the results. What I love: -Smells great and isn’t overpowering -Makes my hair soft and smooth -Deposits color evenly with minimal effort -Keeps my hair color looking fresh between salon visits (saving so much money) Overall, this product is perfect for anyone looking for a semi-permanent color boost at home. It’s easy to use, effective, and the results make it worth a little extra care during application. I’d definitely repurchase.

My graying hair is very very gray in the front, but mostly very dark on the rest of the head. Regrowth is SUPER noticeable after permanent dye. My stylist said we can "just add some platinum highlights and it will blend right in".... holy 2002, batman! My hair is very dark brown, almost black, and the upkeep on platinum highlights is, frankly, way beyond my price point, in addition to not being a look I aspire to. This espresso color is a very dark, cool brown, so I mix 2-3 pumps of this with 1 pump of the auburn color, and get a nice neutral brown tint on my silver strands that blends into my natural color and looks a bit like balayage as it fades. Note: I am not using this as directed. Just putting this on in the shower would be a slow process and not catch all my roots, so about once a week I glob this on DRY hair, wrap my head in plastic, cover it with a bonnet and putter around for 3 hours before rinsing. Does it need to be 3 hours? I dunno. I literally pulled that time from nowhere and it works so I kept doing it. Is it messy? Ummm....in comparison to what happens when i use permanent dye at home, no. Otherwise...I think it depends on how clumsy you are. I am VERY clumsy, so I do have to clean stains from my skin and the bathroom sink, but soap and water take it off skin and a bathroom cleaner with bleach takes it off the sink. I try to shampoo twice a week or less, I use As I Am cleansing conditioner or Tap Secret powder dry shampoo on the non wash days. Both are holy grail products for me. Is all this a very complicated way of avoiding ammonia fumes and damage from constant permanent dying and/or bleaching? Of course! Does everyone have three hours a week to spend with their head wrapped in plastic? I'm guessing probably not. Will the process of eventually going completely gray be INFINITELY less traumatic than if I was growing out gray roots under permanent dye? Why yes, thank you for asking. If I don't refresh the color, it slowly fades away until the full lengths of my silver strands are silver again. No damage, no elaborate, expensive mix of highlights and lowlights, just time.

I absolutely love this 3-in-1 color-depositing shampoo 💛 Since I dyed my hair a copper fantasy shade, I’ve been looking for something that actually helps maintain the color, and this one truly delivers. It works as a shampoo, conditioner, and treatment all in one, leaving my hair super soft, shiny, and with that rich copper tone I don’t want to lose. I’ve also noticed my color lasts much longer between washes. Perfect for anyone with fantasy-colored hair who wants to keep it vibrant and fresh.

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 like this shampoo-conditioner combo, but it's not without its problems. So let's start with what I like: the shampoo cleans my hair well, the conditioner leaves it very soft, it provides a nice hint of color, and a little goes a long way, so it's actually very reasonably priced if you consider the cost per use. But... the packaging is dreadful. When I first open a new bottle, I usually spend about 5 - 10 minutes trying to engage the pump, and then just give up and pull the old pump from the last bottle out of the trash. And when I get to the end of a bottle, the pump no longer works so I have to open the bottle, set the pump aside - trying not to get the dye all over the place - and pour the shampoo out into my hand, which is easier said than done because the shampoo is very thick and the bottle opening is not designed to dispense a small amount at a time. And the dye color you see in the product illustrations is not the color you will get. I have never gotten that vibrant hot pink you see on the bottle, even though my hair color is very pale blonde - it's the color your hairdresser is shooting for when they bleach your hair out to accept a dye - so I can only imagine how much worse this is for people with darker hair... Despite these issues, I do like the product, and I have been using it for years to jazz up my barely-there natural hair color. But I'd like it a whole lot more if came in a more user-friendly dispenser.

Love this Clenditioner! I was trying to find a way to spruce up on my color without damaging my hair or having to full out dye it frequently - and I think i found the secret! One thing I appreciated is that it’s very easy to apply and doesn’t make a big mess in the shower like some color products can. It rinses clean and I haven’t noticed staining on my hands or shower surfaces. The color is subtle but still rich, which I actually prefer because it looks more natural rather than overly intense. It also works well as a conditioner on its own — my hair feels smooth and manageable after using it, not dry or coated. For anyone trying to maintain or slightly enhance their existing hair color, this is a really convenient option. One bottle can last awhile, unlike actual dye which are one-time use. Overall I’m very happy with it and will definitely keep using it.

Stunning. I wanted to color some Grays and back in the '80s I frosted my hair one strand at a time and then I set the timer. So you could imagine how horrible it was. I went to the salon and they gave me a brown moose and said don't touch it anymore before it all falls out. Well 35 years later I said I don't like these Grays so I went to Sally's and I said can you help me with some brown moose and they're like we don't know what you're talking about lol but we have this Keracolor Clenditioner. I bought the mocha and I liked it so I went back and I got the Auburn and I liked it but you have to put the mocha on the gray first and then put the color but anyway I also tried the hot pink and that just made my head look like a strawberry. I've also used ion hot red which is very pretty with my hair color and the mocha Kericolor. So I decided I really love rose gold and I'm going to try it. I have a rose gold Bible and my note 20 Ultra phone is Rose gold. I have a curling iron that color. I just really like it. No I don't have blonde hair and I'm not going to bleach it either. I just went for it. Over the last two days twice I washed my hair with Paul Mitchell clarifying shampoo and actually found that to be beneficial for my thin hair. It fluffed it up and cleaned it and made it shiny so I might buy more of that. I wanted to kind of wash out some of the other color which didn't actually wash out much and now I just put this one on and it just came out beautiful I'm so pleased. I'll have to get a picture in the sunlight. I've always been a little bit envious of the other girls that can do things to their hair and it doesn't fall out but as soon as I do something to mine I got a problem. This stuff is wonderful and it improves the condition of my hair no matter which one I use. I have very fine hair that has fallen out from 14 surgeries. I've been using the minoxidil 5% a few times a week on a Q-tip and it's working. My hair natural hair is a medium brown with lighter ends that have a reddish tint with also silvery white Grays at the temple. My hair is growing in and these colors are stunning. The mocha in the temple area where you have more grays set down first with the color on top does a very nice job.
