MoroccanoilColor Depositing Mask, 6.7 Fl. Oz

I like to dye my hair. It's a different color almost monthly. I never bleach, I just put on whatever color I'm in the mood for. I have mostly dark brown hair with dramatic streaks of white. It takes dye well. However, sometimes just a little TOO well, and then my hair looks more like a clown wig, and less like the multi-faceted results I like. So, I bought this to tone things down, and to stretch out the time between coloring.It absolutely takes my brighter colors down a notch - love it!! However, I'm not sure I'd be happy with the results if I were looking to amp up my regular color. It does tone down my drama-white streaks, but definitely doesn't cover them.What really sold me though, was the amazing conditioning. I've never, in all my decades, experienced conditioning results like these. I put this on towel-dried hair for ~20 minutes while I putter around, and then rinse. I have the softest, shiniest, bounciest hair I've ever had in my entire life! I look like a hair commercial! As someone with thin, fine, straw-like hair with a greasy scalp - it's hard to find products that don't weigh down my poor hair. I didn't expect much, but I also don't begrudge experimentation. Wow was I impressed!! I would use this if it didn't deposit an ounce of color.In short - I wish it deposited a bit more color, and I wish the color lasted longer, but I am not willing to live without the incredible conditioning. I use it 1-2x a week - the results typically last 2-3 washes. With my scalp producing the oil it does, I usually have to wash daily, but with this I'm now occasionally able to go a day without.

Let me tell you how this wonderful mask saved my hair and saved me some major embarrassment on a Vegas trip. Note: even good stylists can make mistakes or forget to warn you about potential interactions between treatments.I am naturally a medium/dark brunette but had been getting balayage highlights for years so my hair was almond blonde. I decided to go back to brunette with caramel highlights. My stylist darkened my hair to a medium brunette which was a little lighter than I wanted but it looked fine. The next day I came back for the highlights and keratin treatment and when I left the salon I noticed my hair was even lighter and had a red hue and the highlights looked orange. I knew after the keratin I couldn’t wash for 3 days and couldn’t color for 2 weeks so I thought I would just wait and see what it looked like after I washed my hair, which happened to be the day my husband and I left for a Vegas weekend. After much research I realized that keratin treatments can lift your hair color and mine tends to pull red/orange, oops, I wish my stylist had thought of this and she left a couple days after my treatment for vacation. I ordered this product and a green conditioner to try and temporarily remedy the situation, and after washing on Friday morning my hair had not improved so I tried the green conditioner first to remove the red hue. To my horror, it tinted my hair green. It’s not supposed to do that. I then washed my hair twice with a clarifying sulfate shampoo (not good for keratin but I was desperate) and it didn’t really help. With just a few hours before our flight, I decided to try this product in Coco because I knew it had pigments of yellow, green, and red which would hopefully cover and balance out the green. I sectioned my damp hair and left on for 15 minutes and rinsed. Immediately better but my roots still looked a little orange so I did a shadow root technique, left on for another 15 minute, and rinsed. Omg. My hair looks so much better, smelled nice, and was soft and shiny. My husband, who had seen the green hair and was very skeptical when I told him I could fix it, was shocked when he got home. He loved the color and so did I. It was a tad darker than I expected but still looked very nice and it has been lightening up very slightly with each wash and still looks great. I even had a stranger come up to me in Vegas and compliment my hair color and say she is going back to brunette from blonde and is trying to achieve my exact color. I told her my secret.Anyway, to summarize: this product smells nice, is quick and easy to use, fades nicely, made my hair soft, and gave me a beautiful chocolate brown that my hairdresser couldn’t. Before and after attached.

I absolutely love this product for color depositing hair masks. The color is as expected, it smells great, is easy to apply and last a long time. Perfect to use between professional visits or in place of them if you have pre lightened hair. The Rose gold is my current favorite.
