KERACOLORHair Color

For the last 18 months, I used regular Teal Klenditioner to maintain my professional Teal dye job. My hairstylist recommended this brand specifically. I was very happy with the results.After after a year and a half, I finally stripped out the blue and went purple. I decided to try the brunette version, as I usually mix half Colored conditioned and half Prose conditioner to maintain. I suspected the “for brunettes” version of purple was a denser dye, so I could stretch it further. (There’s no brunette version of teal.)I was right. But also, I underestimated how powerful these purple dyes are…When I used the regular teal, despite being very careful, I would occasionally find a tiny spot of blue in my bathroom. I was delighted that it wiped off my tile and granite without leaving a mark, even when I was dry dying with full strength Teal to really rejuvenate the vibrancy. Even if I found a spot the next day! (These were pinhead sized dots, and your tile/granite might be different. So still be very careful and looks for spots when cleaning up!) I would sometimes find blue spots in the acrylic tub or shower surround. But I realized it was mostly hard water spots that held the dye and a magic eraser would remove them.The regular teal would dye my hands and skin, but I could usually scrub it off in the shower. Although my hands and nails could be a bit Smurf-y for a few washes. I always used gloves when dry dyeing, including rinsing, because I used much more product and it would leave my hands blue for days. The Teal would leave sky blue streaks on white towels if you dried your hair normally. If I forgot to bring my hair towel to a hotel, I would just scrunch each section of hair with a different bit of the towel, and it wouldn’t accumulate enough to be visible.Once I switched to Purple for brunettes, the stakes got a bit higher. I did a dry dye (applying the conditioner like hair dye to dry hair and leaving 30-60 minutes for intense color deposit) in my newly renovated bathroom. I had gotten a bit complacent with my Teal. Somehow I managed to fling a small glob of purple on the wall. I went to wipe it with a bit of TP and got a smudge on the toilet. And later on the white plastic bidet. And on the porcelain tile. And another smudge on a different part of the wall. I was really a mess! I also had purple streaks across my neck, but wasn’t worried because the Teal always came off with a wet wipe once I finished applying. That was not the case with purple. Gentle exfoliation helped, but it took 2 showers to fully remove.The purple came off the tile just fine. I panicked when it didn’t come off the toilet or the bidet immediately, but a bit of Lysol with bleach saved them! It did not come off the paint, but we are going to do final touch ups later anyway.After nearly destroying my brand new bathroom, I started being much more careful. I used 1/3 color condition to 2/3 Prose and got excellent maintenance saturation. There were a few times that I found dots of diluted conditioner on the shower curtain or tile, but it came off with microfiber or magic eraser. A bit more scrubbing was needed but no cleaning products.I use vinyl gloves to apply and rinse in the shower, or my nails stay purple for days.I recommend Press N Seal to cover your workspace when dry dyeing. And a brush applicator to avoid dyeing your scalp. In the shower, I hold my hair in one hand and apply the diluted conditioner directly to the hair. This reduces spatter.This purple WILL bleed onto towels, no matter how well you rinse. I happen to have nice purple towels already, so no issue. But anything in a light color will get purple streaks. Purple fades faster than teal, but blue is notoriously permanent. So no surprise there.Overall, I don’t mind being a bit more cautious to get really vibrant color. (To clarify, my hair was bleached nearly white and then permanently dyed a deep, rich purple. But it also gives good purple coverage on the light brown root. The virgin root fades way faster than the purple lengths.)

This is my favorite color depositing conditioner and conditioner in general. My hair is so soft and can last longer between washes when I use this conditioner. I love the color and how well it works in my brown hair. It’s so subtle yet in certain light it is very visible. I highly recommend it.

I always wanted to dye my hair purple, but didn't do it. I worked in jobs where colored hair maybe wasn't considered professional enough. I also have a thing about using chemicals in my hair. I've been trying to keep it as "virgin" as possible since all of the perms in the 1990s.My friend who owns a salon is the one who first told me about the Clenditioner brand. She had me try her dark brown and pointed out it wasn't really going to dye my hair and strip it of softness. I liked the effect and then thought maybe I would try a bit of color. Purple is my favorite color, and this is a bonus that it is designed for brunettes.When I first tried it, I was a little disappointed. It felt like it took a while to actually catch onto my hair. But again, I hadn't dyed it or done anything to it in ages. I will say that it did make my hair feel super soft, though. I was also amused that it said to not use on gray or silver hair, and those were the strands that best caught the purple color.Once it started to build up, though, I really liked the effects. I got compliments on my hair from children as young as two to grandparent figures in their 80s and 90s. You can control how itense you want the color by how frequently you apply it and whether or not you use it on wet or dry hair. It does wash out fast enough that you feel like you're aren't committed to it, but not so fast that you feel like you're constantly reapplying it. It gives my hair a deep sheen and shine that I really like, I may try other colors one day, but I definitely love this purple color.

This was the first time I was trying something besides permanent hair color because I’m trying to protect my hair a little bit more since I had been highlighting it for a while. I have been looking for a product that will look colorful on the light parts (Hopefully, including the gray hairs) and just kind of tint, the rest of my dark hair. I like this product because you can make it brighter or less bold just by how you apply it, how much time you let it sit, how many times you apply it, or even how often you wash your hair. It’s super simple to put on. I bought myself a box of plastic gloves and just use that to put it on. I don’t use a brush, I usually apply it dry and let it sit for like 30 minutes or whatever the instructions say. If you have darker haired, definitely use this brunette version as opposed to the regular rose gold. This will give you much better color. I have tried both.The picture with the cat shows it directly after I’ve applied it. The picture in front of all the math shows how it’s mellowed. Doesn’t cover as much as I hoped but it kind of distracts from it so I’m fine with that. I’m gonna try a bunch of different colors and just see which one I like the best!

It worked great on my light brown hair, but it definitely stains. My pillow case is purple now, and every time I scratch my head I turn my finger nails purple.

I bought this last year and I'm just getting to it now after being red for a long time. The color goes on purple and rinses out purple but my hair looks red. I don't know if it's because I waited so long to use it. It also looked like it was fading fast even though my first application was on Saturday and I just did my second application today. I think I'll stick to the brand I usually get from now on.

Colors hair last about three washes. Doesn't damage hair.
