Hair 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.

I know the intention of this product is to help keep your color in between dye jobs but NOT FOR ME! :) I have naturally curly stubborn hair. I've been dying/bleaching my hair roughly for the last 24 years. Any hair color I've tried in the past has usually always turned copper-ish no matter what (besides the bleaching, of course). The first time using the rose gold I applied it to dry hair left on for about a half an hour. The result was very slight pinkish red....like the resulting color if you left a red sock in white linens in the washer. It was pretty but not for me. For the last 2 weeks I've been applying this AMAZING PRODUCT every couple of days, to dry hair, for at least a half an hour before I shower. My hair is not only a lovely color of Merlot, but it's back to being soft and looks soooo much healthier. Plus it smells absolutely amazing. IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR HANDS TO MATCH YOUR NEW HAIR COLOR, WEAR GLOVES. I would absolutely recommend.

Justo lo que quería! Funcionó perfecto. Me encantó el color. No dura más que 1 o 2 lavadas pero por algo no es permanente.

I love the colour I’m a strawberry blonde & it works really well. I am a repeat buyer

Este color tiñe muy bien el cabello, el color es bonito.

Pretty impressed with this, has taken the edge off my greys whilst I grow it out. Doesn’t stain your hands, just wash them with soap straight after.

Llegó rápido. Tenía su hule, aún así venía chorreado, no se porque si se supone que trae "seguro" es decir si no lo giras no se abre. Lo bueno es que no se tiró gran cantidad. Respecto al color a mi me queda un tono rojo cereza muy bonito y con los días se va haciendo rosa oscuro. No dura mucho, no como el color azul o de otras marcas, este hay que aplicarlo varias veces a la semana. Pero lo recomiendo mucho, van varias veces que lo compro.
