I had a lot of blonde in my hair that I recently covered with a dark dye, but as expected, the color faded faster from the more porous areas. After about six weeks, the top of my hair (where most of the blonde was) had lightened to a light brown, while the ends stayed a cool espresso shade. I didn’t want to go back to the salon so soon, so I picked up this color depositing mask.I followed the directions, I shampooed in the shower, rinsed thoroughly, wrung my hair out well, and even stepped out of the tub to towel dry it a bit more. Then I put on gloves, applied the mask generously, brushed it through evenly, and left it on for about 15 minutes.It worked pretty well. The top was still slightly lighter, and it didn’t affect my roots much the first time, but I could already see an improvement. Two days later, I applied it again, this time focusing on my roots and the top of my head. I used a different conditioner on the bottom since that part was already dark.After the second use, I was much happier with the results. Everything looked more blended, my roots were better toned, and the previously blonde areas on top were darker, making my overall color more uniform and just prettier ✨💖🥰It also made my hair incredibly soft, shiny, and smooth. I love the formula! It’s perfect for stretching time between salon visits, especially if you’re trying to avoid more damage after bleaching.I’ve already bought another bottle. I think it works really well, but it’s not necessarily a one and done miracle, especially if your hair has multiple tones like mine. Stick with it and give it a couple of uses for the best results.I can’t wait to see how it looks after another use or two. Definitely a lifesaver!PS - I applied it only to my naturally lighter roots (which had already blended pretty well after my first two mask treatments as you can see in the photos). I put it on dry hair and let it sit for 15–20 minutes to really deepen the color, and it worked beautifully. If roots is all you plan to do, just keep in mind it may take a couple of applications to reach your desired shade because I did already do the mask twice on wet hair.

After looking online and in stores for a while for a good color depositing product, I settled on this during Prime Day. I have tried other color glosses/masks before with mixed results. Yes, they deposited color, but it looked like it just coated the hair or sat on top instead of actually refreshing my color. For reference, I dye my hair a level 8 auburn and chose the natural looking "caramel glaze" color instead of the copper or auburn, which looked too orange and too dark for me.I tried this color mask with a little tweaking: After shampooing my hair twice to make sure it was really clean, I squeezed out the water and instead of applying the color mask directly to my hair, I diluted it (1:1 ratio) with my regular conditioner in my palms and mixed it together. This was my first time using it and it does stain my hands a little, so I wasn't sure how strong the color would be, so I chose to dilute it. I applied root to ends for 5-6 minutes while finishing the rest of my shower, then thoroughly rinsed out. Make sure to wash your neck and back afterward or it will leave a film.I wrapped my hair in an old, white tshirt and it left some light staining but not as bad as some other color glosses I've tried. I applied my products and styled my hair as usual. The results are amazing - shiny, vibrant, natural but noticeably better! A coworker complimented my hair today and said it was really shiny and looked like it had natural golden threads/highlights throughout.I will try this full strength in the future, but I'm honestly very happy with the results using the diluted method, plus it will make the tube go twice as far. This will be a weekly routine for me to keep my color shiny and healthy. Highly recommend!

I have an allergy to hair dye so I cannot use permanent dyes with PPD. Ive been looking everywhere for temp options that aren’t henna or crazy colors. I bought this to cover my grey hairs thinking it would most likely give spotty results. I was shocked how well this worked after some tinkering! I played around with it to figure out the most long lasting application style.First, my goal was just to cover greys, not to blend highlights or change the color of my hair overall. This is important because I have virgin hair, no idea how this overlay temp dye would mess with your color/highlights. I started experimenting with just washed, wet hair and used it as a regular conditioner. Leaving it on for 30mins. It left a lovely, creamy scent, but the grey coverage was patchy at best. I needed to experiment more- this had potential!Next, I washed my hair then fully dried it. I applied this product root to tip focusing on combing into the scalp and fully saturating my roots where the grey hair really was prominent. Then I wrapped my head in some disposable plastic wrap (you could use double shower caps) wrapped it all in a towel for warmth and let it sit for 3 hours. It smelled so good the whole time it baked.I used cold water to rinse out/ no shampoo. This method covered all my greys like a dream- I was actually fully shocked. I’ve been doing this process monthly- if you wash your hair once every 5-7 days it lasts about a month and gradually fades over time.
