20 Best Shampoo And Conditioner For Dyed Red Hair (Jan 2023 Update)

Love my line of John Frieda products. Had to add this and the Red Boosting Conditioner to my collection. I find this is awesome. Smell could be better, especially the conditioner though. Some have said that they dound it irritated their scalp but I will say I havent had this problem. Will totally but this again once it gets low.amy.c

Hi, I am naturally dark blonde with some highlights and some actual red hairs (my sister was a natural dark strawberry blonde). I've been using your Blonde Highlighting shampoo and conditioner for years–saw this and thought I would experiment. It turned out pretty well! Now I have a question–what will happen if I go back to the Blonde Highlighting shampoo for my next wash? (It's for a Halloween thing). I don't want to have any weird green, orange or whatever colors.tracy89

I’ve now got side greys on my cherished naturally dark reddish brown hair & it’s looking a bit draining on my 60 year old face. I wanted a copper colour deposit conditioner (like the sadly discontinued Madder Red which I miss!). This is a little too cherry red/pink for me so I mixed it with a small blob of Plantur Brown conditioner (sold by Boots & VERY effective) & left for 20 mins – I now have golden coppery hair where the greying side hairs were! I think I’ll give up my typing job & become an alchemist! Thanks Boots for stocking a good range of products to blend with! XxBlackberry61

I am still reeling from how well Punky Colour 3-in-1 Color Depositing Shampoo + Conditioner colored my hair, and without any damage or unpleasantness during application! I'm absolutely not a hair dye virgin, so I've been around the block with so-called gentle hair color. I have come to expect that gentle/natural products will likely result in softer hair but also weaker color. Not this product! Before applying this, I had used KISS on my naturally medium/dark blonde hair. After using a clarifying shampoo to try to remove as much of that as possible, to prepare my hair for this, it was basically a muted deep amethyst shade as I began applying this product. Almost immediately, I saw the color begin to take. It was a beautiful, bold, bright pink in the areas where there was less of the remaining previous purple shade, and it was an absolutely incredible, knockout shade of fuschia on the rest of my hair. I applied it to damp hair in front of my bathroom mirror because I was concerned about not being able to apply it evenly. The way this product is formulated, that was definitely not a problem. It is a thinnish consistency like a shampoo and it spreads really well into the hair. I have slightly longer than shoulder length hair and I used a little less than half the bottle but I'm sure that I could have used less and still had this awesome result. I loved that it didn't leave my house smelling bad, and it actually softened my hair and left so much shine! The color isn't flat at all. I love this so much and will absolutely use it again and again. I was very careful to wear gloves during application and I do recommend wiping up any wayward drops right away or it will require some elbow grease to clean up. It did stain my scalp a bit and while I was sure to rinse really well with cold water, and the color hasn't bled onto my clothing or bedding, I have noticed if I touch my hair with damp hands, it does show up on my nailbeds just very faintly. All in all, the shade name alone sums up this stuff. It really IS Pinktabulous!angel.p

I have vibrant, bright red, Ariel from little mermaid hair. Before I got my hands on this amazing product, I would have to touch up my color every month or so (by this time it was light pink, orange, yellow, gross). I use it with the Joico red conditioner, and my hair has stayed vibrant (although a bit faded, that's just the way it goes) but overall, it is one solid bright red color and it refreshes my hair each time I shower. I only wash my hair twice a week (colored hair people where ya at?) and I have been SO happy with the results. I will continue to purchase this time and time again, in fact I have about 4 bottles under my sink just in case. If you have red hair, vibrant or not, GET THIS!!! 100% worth it and my holy grail product.Bella

Ok let’s talk feel and then science. First, I used to have tremendous hair in my 30’s, strong, healthy and thick. The. I got some thyroid problems after having my kids, some hair fall, live in FL now with crappy water and I even have a pool with chlorine. I am outside a lot. I have backed off highlights because my hair is fine but a lot of it and it was FRAGILE. Never broke in my life until recently. So now I tone the heck out of my damaged previously balayaged hair with professional smoke blue products at a salon to kick the orange brass out of my light brown hair. And even with peroxide developer of only 8 (shades EQ) not, 20 or even 10 I have a rat’s nest. So Joico. Pros. It IS light. Because it doesn’t have to be heavy as it is chock full of proteins and lightweight conditioners. It also has a Ph of 4.5 to 5.5. What’s Ph good for ? Let me expound. So since I have a pool, certain Phs make chemicals either work better or worse. Like, you need less expensive chlorine if you keep your Ph not too alkaline (ph over 7). For your hair, our bodies are at a 6.5 or so, so ph balanced shampoos and conditioners are important because soap is VERy alkaline. The more alkaline, the more the cuticle is lifted like shingles on a house. The more lift, the tougher, the more color loss, the more protein AND moisture loss. So the trick of using an Apple Cider Vinegar rinse applies here. You WANT an ACIDIC product to SHUT down that cuticle. Especially after deep conditioning, coloring or toning. And for those of you who swim, if that gorgeous hair of yours stays wet, like for an HOUR, you’ve lost protein, the moisture that binds to protein, color and you have severely weakened it. 1 swim. 1 hour wet. Enter Color Endure. It’s Ph is a relatively LOW 4.5 -5.5 which is PERFECT for my high porosity, damaged, colored hair. Is it super moisturizing like Tigi Heavens Door that’s like a mask? Nope. But does it trap in that moisture from a wash day and help dry fast like a dream in the FL humidity AND detangle AND keep that cuticle down to resist heat damage and soaking up chlorine and impurities in my water? YES. My 14 year old naturally blonde but chlorinated daughter steals it all the time because it’s light, de tangles, and works. We have zero split ends between us from this bananas smelling product. Now I have a ton of masks and I love Wen and I just like creamy stuff like Dumb Blonde Reconstructer. But everything is heavy on my roots, and a lot of my damage is along my part and front pieces from the sun. If you do the Wen advice and leave in but rinse rinse (like 3 minutes with scrubbing scalp with fingers) rinse I don’t have any grease or build up. I also twist it into my ends at the end of my shower (1 squirt). I could Take a picture of all the hair products I own but this one I buy when it runs out. That’s high praise. Here are two photos of my empty Color Endure and my hair. Also my daughters before her haircut after swimming daily, oceans and chlorine, sun.mountainsandwater.t

I was looking to replace my village color depositing conditioner because I can't find that product ANYWHERE & it was my holy grail. THIS JOICO PRODUCT IS TERRIBLE. I've used it 3 times and haven't noticed a difference in color or in vividness of my hair. It's been dyed a ginger-red. If anything, my hair hasn't maintained it's color how it normally does, it's much less red and vibrant. It leaves my hair greasy and feels heavy, almost like the product itself is too heavy for my hair, which it may be. I'm going to return this because it's not the product for me. It HAS very powerful staining power though, so use an old towel. It stains everything BUT your hair.Lauren R

I have extremely thick hair, plus my hair is also dyed dark. I have a trouble finding a good conditioner that doesn't weight my hair down or fades my color. I decided to try this after I have heard many good things about it, I am so happy that I did. The conditioner is one of them ones that the minute you let it sit on your hair and rinse you can immediately tell the difference it made on your hair. Rinsing my hair isn't tangled, it is smooth, and it's even better when it dries. I like to let my hair air dry but usually it frizzes out, since using this conditioner I don't have to worry about my hair being all frizzy. My hair is so much more softer and silkier. It smooths my hair out very nicely, so I don't have to spend a bunch of time straightening it to get rid of the frizz. It's soft on my colored hair and doesn't strip my hair of my color, which is a huge plus. Highly recommend this conditioner if you have color treated thick hair like mine. I received this conditioner for free for my honest opinion.ABH87

The Colour Wow Colour Security Conditioner is a lightweight conditioner that really helps prevent colour from fading. This is a lot more hydrating than the matching shampoo in the range and should be ok for all hair types except very dry or damaged. It does not weigh hair down, leaves it feeling soft and with a little volume. I have very dry hair so overall I need a more hydrating conditioner I have to use a leave in conditioner after using this. If you are looking for a range for coloured hair and your hair is not very dry I would recommend this range as they stopped my colour looking dull and prevented my highlights from fading.emk

I absolutely love this conditioner. It smells so good and leaves my hair super soft. I always have the hardest time finding a conditioner that I actually like and won't leave my hair feeling oily without a day of using. I also color my hair a good bit, I blow dry & straighten it every day. My hair is so dry, damaged and hard to manage. With this color wow conditioner it makes my hair feel like new. It's softer than it's ever been and I absolutely love it. It's so light weight I can apply it from roots to tips & never have to worry about that dried out or oily feeling afterwards.

My hair is about 90% gray with Wella Colorcharm 9NG all over. I’ve tried about four or five different color conditioners; each one comes out pretty blotchy and washes out so quickly.This is the only color shampoo I’ve ever tried and it sounded a little weird but it is absolutely perfect. Since I have various shades of blonde, the color takes differently but beautifully. Some strands are pink some areas are a little rose gold.The color doesn’t seep onto pillows, towels (I even use a white towel), or clothes and washes out gradually and beautifully. I use this about once a week to keep a light blush pink on my hair. Of course you can use it more and get more depth of color. Obviously this is a shampoo so you must use conditioner after.I constantly get compliments on my hair colorCarly B.

I have natural blond hair that has a lot of natural dimension and highlights in it. However, like many women, my hair color has changed a bit after two kids, and doesn't pop the way it used to. Not to mention, I'm already starting to find a couple of white hairs here and there at 33, so I needed something that was going to tone my hair to make it a more vibrant cool toned color again that I had pre kids.I decided to try this out. Despite being for color treated grey/blonde I found it actually did a good job at lightening and brightening my natural hair, removing any of the lackluster yellow that's come into my hair since I had my kids. I thoroughly lathered throughout my entire hair and left it on for about 10 minutes just to see what it could do on natural hair. While it didn't have as drastic results as it would have on color treated hair, it definitely did the trick in lightening and brightening my natural locks and returning it to the more cool toned lighter blond that I had pre kids. It definitely took out a lot of the yellow tones which was huge to me.I now do it once a week just to keep up the slight color change. Its subtle and soft, but definitely worth the purchase. I'm really happy to see the changes!Kate F.

The product works great! I have natural black hair and bleached it once to make it vibrant red. I wash my hair daily, so the color faded pretty quick. I don’t want to go to hair salon again, so I randomly searched it on amazon to find this. I decided to give a try, and after several weeks, I found it very convenient to remain my hair color in a fairly bright red hue evenly. The color remains for 2~3 wash.However, I’m not giving it five stars because:Instead of using it like my normal shampoo, I need to squeeze 3 palms of the product to apply on my hair to reach the color change shown in my photos. I tried using a small amount and imagined the product staying on my hair longer would let the color soak in, but it didn’t work much. If you have long hair, you probably will run out of this very fast. It also dries my hair after rinsing it off, but could be solved with conditioner once.Anyway if you plan to use this, I recommend to apply a generous amount of it on your hair, and massage it through hair to have the even color, but not making a lot of foams. After waiting for a few mins, rinse it off and use conditioner once or twice under warm water since a steaming hot shower washes the new applied color off easily.Stephanie L.

I usually henna my dark brown hair which has some greys and silvers feathering my temple. Henna is REALLY messy and so I often delay past time. I don't conventionally color my hair because naturally it is dry, fine, low porosity, 3b curls with some thinning at crown (probably from decades of pulling to style) and I don't want to further damage my already delicate strands. Even though henna application is a bit drying on its own it strengthens the hair strands so it's an ok trade-off. Enter the ColorBalm on sale. I was looking for something non-damaging when I'm too lazy to henna. It doesn't appear to be overtly damaging but I don't think my hair loved it either — like the texture/feel of my hair following was less nice/soft. It didn't color all the greys. I wasn't expecting them to be colored darkly just not starkly white against my dark brown. Some came out a muted strawberry blonde (which is actually fine and is enough to blend in as a kind of highlight since I don't have a lot of greys yet) but some strands appeared untouched by the colorant — you know the ones that are stark white, they stayed that way. I do have the same struggle with henna if I don't leave it in long enough but altogether it does a better job but its definitely more of an endeavor. I will finish this but don't think I will repurchase. Debating if I want to return the second unopened tube.Apricot

I don't usually leave reviews, even if something works pretty well. But guys, this works better than just pretty well. Instead of a weird combination of neutral darker pieces and too-cool, almost lavender light pieces, I'm left with gorgeous beige-strawberry blonde tones throughout my hair. It's a light auburn or dark strawberry blonde underneath, with lighter highlights throughout, especially on top and around my face. I don't have to worry about mismatched tones with this toning conditioner. It's always a neutral/cool strawberry blonde throughout, just different shades. And although I use it with a heavier mask or conditioner for my curly hair, it's moisturizing enough to be used alone for anyone with "normal" hair. I'll definitely be repurchasing!Goldilocks

I would give this negative stars if it were possible. Let me start out by saying that I am a cosmetologist and I have used multiple color balms and color conditioners throughout my career and I have never in my life had a product be so messy and difficult. I used the red poppy color and used gloves while applying, and while rinsing it got EVERYWHERE and has left stains all over my shower that will not come out even after using bleach. My scalp is bright red, my forehead is bright red, my back is bright red. Everything is red but my ends. The color balm has not refreshed my hair one bit. There is only a small amount on the very ends of my hair where it is the most porous. It has taken me over an hour to clean up the mess. This product is going straight in the garbage!! BUYER BEWARE!!!Tiffany

I absolutely LOVE this shampoo and conditioner! Makes my hair super shiny and soft and gives me an extra bump of color to hold me thru til my next color appointment. Smells nice and is a great price for the pair.ginashopshere

Like the product. Went to buy it based on a 30% off on one item coupon. The item was $33, so with the discount, slightly under $25. Can purchase 2 of them for $25 on Amazon. CVS would be easy to recommend if they stopped playing these stupid games with prices. But even without that, the service is just not good. It's not like it use to be. They can't seem to retain managers. There is a story here, I just don't know wha it is. But I do know that this is the last time I fall for one of these 30% off coupons. What a joke!Phil1957

Having coloured my hair for many years I am very conscious of the need to try and keep it in good condition and avoid colour fading so was very eager to try Nexxus Color Assure Shampoo. Nexxus is not a brand I am familiar with so was keen to see the results. As soon as I poured the shampoo into my hand I could feel the quality of this beautifully rich shampoo and the smell was absolutely divine. The shampoo lathered up easily into my hair with just a small amount of the product. It was easy to rinse out and my hair felt thick and full once it had been washed. Once my hair had been dried I could instantly see how shiny and well nourished my hair looked and felt and the colour of my hair has stayed more vibrant without any fading over the past couple of weeks. I wash my hair every day and this shampoo has kept it in perfect condition. I regularly smelt the shampoo during the day which was lovely and I have had several people complimenting me on how shiny and healthy my hair looks. This shampoo has definitely prevented colour fading in my hair and will be my go to shampoo from now on. I will be trying other products in this range and would have no hesitation in recommending it to my family and friends.pink glitter

I've used this product for years, but they seem to have changed the formulation. I purchased two 1L bottles sometime ago. I just ran out of the old formula and opened the new bottle, and (as many have said) it does not clean. It leaves a waxy/greasy residue on my hair no matter how much I rinse, regardless of whether or not I follow with conditioner. I tried emailing the company a month ago, but have heard no reply.PJ

I purchased this color safe shampoo based on the recommendations on beauty professionals in my area, and also because I am a big fan of Oribe products. I started using Oribe products when I went to a salon that used Oribe and pretty much all the products that I’ve used I have liked. I purchased this particular shampoo because I get highlights, and I wanted to prolong the life of my color gloss. I am a fan of Oribe and have other Oribe shampoos to compare it with, and I sometimes mix it with the Oribe Moisture and Control Shampoo in the green bottle and the Oribe Gold Lust Shampoo in the black and white bottle. I think that this shampoo for color treated hair is best for prolonging color, and I have noticed that my glaze has lasted a bit longer than when using other shampoos. I personally prefer the moisture and hydration from the other two shampoos that I mentioned compared to this shampoo, but I do like the shampoo a lot. I do feel that the Moisture and Control Shampoo does provide a lot of moisture and hydration, I have that masque too and love it. The Oribe Gold Lust is good for damaged hair or when trying to prevent split ends. The shampoo for the blonde hair is also a great shampoo, which a hairstylist used on me for years and I recommended to a family member. I think Oribe products are excellent and I have been pleased with most Oribe products that I purchased. I recently switched to using this shampoo and other Oribe shampoos from the Olaplex shampoo and it is definitely worth the extra money! The products are a little expensive, although they are the best quality of any other beauty products which I have purchased. The products are vegan and cruelty free. I will re-purchase this product again in the future!AmySnickers

The Oribe For Beautiful Color is my favorite hair product line. I have had total strangers compliment the scent while using this line. A little product goes a long way, even for my thick mid-back length hair. I use this and then rotate between the For Beautiful Color mask, conditioner, and glaze, as well as alternating with the Gold Lust line. I will continue buying Oribe even at this price point. As a tip, register at Oribe online for email alerts as there are annual sales with 20% off, free samples with each order, and the gift sets are often at the same discount year-round.clo.s

Purchased this product expecting to see results. This an 8.5oz product for $50.00. So my expectations are high as price tag. This product did not work for me. I recently got my hair colored I waited 5 days to have my first shampoo and as I was washing my hair it felt extremely dry. As I was massaging my scalp my hair started tangle terribly- this has never happened to me before. So I proceeded to condition with olaplex. Once out of the shower my hair felt super dry which it was very concerning. After I used a mixed of olaplex #6 and #7 to blow-dry and style, my hair looked fine but NOT BETTER from using Olaplex shampoo, Truss professional or Crew. I wanted to give it a second try so 3 days after I washed my hair again. I have natural voluminous curls, same experience at washing and after, my curls looked terrible. The hair still dry as straw. I’m returning this.shilshil

I absolutely LOVE THE COLOR!!!!! But it dries out your hair. I use so many products that I thought it would never dry mine out. After two washes I realized I will shampoo the color in, every day, not twice a week. And I will use three minute miracle or 6-13 by Wen directly after. It colors my hair waaaay better than my box color. I only have a few grays with this shampoo verses ALL the gray's with a hair color treatment. So yes, I'm still going to use it!!! I just add oil in my hair every time I wash it. And I have to use this every time I shampoo or it won't work and all the evil gray's come back.Beth

I have used a few products from this line, so I was excited to try a new color in Silvery Diamond. I have heavily lightened hair and maintain this through a salon. Before use, I contacted my hairdresser about using the product. I wanted to make sure she would be able to color correct in case I messed up, or didn't like the color. She agreed that this would be fun and easy to handle after running down a list of ingredients, and directions. I really like this product. It works perfectly on my hair because of how light it is. The silver was pretty but not a good fit for my skin tone which is fair. It washed me out, but that is not the fault of the product. I have used other colors and loved the result. I figured that since I didn't love the color on myself, this would be a great time to see how hard it would be to get out of my hair. I re-washed and used a de-gunking shampoo and conditioner and the color, although still visible was lightened and had a really pretty sparkle that played up the tones of my blonde. I really liked it. These are high-quality products, and leave your hair feeling soft and silky after use. I definitely recommend this to anyone with lightened hair. If you have darker hair, this will more than likely not do what it is intended to.Jenicorn817

THANK YOU. I have silver gray hair that is beautiful with some remaining brunette in the back. My stylist talked me into "highlights" around the face and I have some old yellowing highlights in the back I was trying to grow out. Well I ended up with gold, yellow, lemony chunks of highlights around the front which looked so stupid FLAWLESS DIAMOND is just that…flawless….It also cured the yellowing in the back. It is so beautiful. I can't believe it. It's so easy and really works. Thank you so much!!! I wish I could give it a ten.Patty

I decided to give this product a try when it was on sale at Ulta. With my first use or two, I was impressed with how my hair looked. I could tell it toned down the brassiness and gave me a just left the salon look. But by the third or fourth use, my blonde hair my ends in particular were looking straight purplish grey. Despite only washing my hair a couple times a week, I figured maybe I was using it too much and should not be using it for every wash. So, I started alternating between this shampoo and a regular nourishing shampoo. However, it seems that doing this has given me such uneven tones throughout my hair some areas are brassy, some parts look platinum and some look grey a problem Ive never had before. This shampoo also stains my nails, cuticles, and scalp. Even though I had freshly washed hair, one day I had to put it up into a pony tail simply because when my hair was down you could see my part which was bright purple. It looked awful. Even rinsing my hair until the water runs clear still leaves me with purple in my scalp. Aside from the results of this shampoo, Im not a fan of how thin and runny the consistency is, because every time I dispense some, it seems to come with a fair amount of drippingwasted product which is a bummer, considering the price. Maybe a pump instead of a flip cap could prevent some of this Overall, whether I used this shampoo consistently or sparingly, the results were not good. I also used the matching conditioner with every use.Anonymous

All I have to say is, this conditioner is worth every penny (pricey) About my hair type, I have long, wavy, thick, course and frizz prone due to living in a hot and humid climate state, this is amazingly good on my hair. With this conditioner, it makes my hair so shiny, hydrated and smooth. I only use a little bit because it really does go on my hair due to how creamy this formulation is. I find that after washing it off all the way in the shower, I rinse my hair with very cold water until I don't feel any warmth from my hot shower. The cold water helps seal and smooth down the hair follicle. I then let hair air dry in a loose twisted bun with a large and soft velvet scruchie on top of my head. When it's completely dry, my hair falls with soft, bouncy, shiny and smooth waves that I don't need to style my hair with any hot tools. In comparison to naturally air drying my hair, I have used my flat iron and also curling iron, my hair looks like I had just gotten an amazing hair result from a hair salon. Highly recommend.maria.d

I bought this shampoo based on reviews. I have a foil done about 56 times a yr. I used this shampoo for the first time brightened my hair right away. Im a natural strawberry blonde had some issues with my last foil, I used this shampoo 4 times in one week which is alot. While this did brighten up my hair was a quick fix to what the stylist did to me my reg lady wasnt in I went to a diff stylist learned a few things. The new stylist fixed the issues that the inexperienced one messed up. First off I would like to tell you that what the last girl did to my hair was not knowing how to mix colors very well ended up with more red than blonde, I didnt want red but the Redken Blondage did help with that problem until I could get it done right. My new stylist explained to me about over using this type of shampoo because it can cause your hair to turn blue but Ive never had those issues. Purple is actually a color added to a shampoo to neutralize warm colors, warm colors being orange, yellow, red, purple shampoo turning your brassy warm tones into cooler tones more natural looking, the darker the purple, the better the shampoo. Purple shampoo does nothing for brunettes but if you have highlights its a must, also a must for silver hair to turn gray into a beautiful silver. If your hair is over processed or colored alot it can take on purple tones quickly. If you start to notice your blonde hair getting a silvery color its because your hair is very porous, then you want to back off of the purple shampoo bc it will start turning blue. I use purple about once a week. You shouldnt use purple shampoo but every 3rd wash because its very drying. Another way to keep your color fresh is to shampoo with clarifying shampoo to wash all oil residue buildup from other products, hairspray, gel, mousse, etc…rinse then use purple shampoo and let it sit for about 10 min. Since most of the brightening work is done with the shampoo you can really use any conditioner. I love Redken all soft conditioner. So far I like most all of Redken products they have great a sale going on this month sales and nobody can beat the sale of one liter size products this month better than Ulta.Anonymous

I received this product as a sample, liked it and ordered the product. After 2 months now of having used this shampoo I find my hair feeling weighed down and no longer has the shine it once did despite good rinsing technique. I was expecting shine, manageability, and fewer shampoo days. Quite the opposite now. I cannot recommend this product.Leisa

I have used this a few times when my split ends are cracking and I find myself picking them. After I use this my split ends are 90% gone and it feels so soft and nice! I can't stop running my hands through my hair. Best stuff I've used. I live in a dry climate with hard water and this is great for that because I use a lot of hydrating hair products and nothing has worked quite like this for the harsh weather and my dry hair!Megan

I love this hair mask! I tried going to a new hairstylist who destroyed my hair. She burned 6 inches off and my ends continued to break and fall off with the slightest touch. So I went back to my old stylist who recommended I use this. She told me to use it for 8 hours since my hair was so damaged. I used it twice in one week and my hair finally stopped breaking. This stuff saved my hair and it finally grew back thanks to this mask. It says to use 5 mins or 30 for extremely damaged hair twice a week or as needed but I still use it for hours. I either sleep with it on or just hang around the house with it wrapped in a towel. (Once a week because I only wash once or twice a week), My hair is naturally dark brown but I regularly bleach it platinum blonde and use heat often. This is what manages to keep my hair healthy through all of that. If you just need a little moisture you can do the shorter time but if you abuse your hair like me the extra hours are worth it! It washes right out and doesn’t leave my hair greasy. Smells great and it’s affordable. Not sure where everyone else that says it’s expensive is buying it but I’ve always paid about $15. I pick it up from Jcp salons or order it online from Jcp. Now I actually pay around $6 from a beauty store for cosmetologists. So that’s around what your salon is paying for it. Any salon should carry this in store and online and it shouldn’t be over $20. I love trying new masks but this one will always be a go to staple for me! Been using it for 8 years now.cassidy.h

I saw this product on my IG feed that is was available at my local grocery store and was curious. I colored my hair purple back in July and recolored it maybe a month later. I tried a few color deposit shampoos from big brands such as ion (which left my hair more neon with a pink undertone) and even tried making my own color deposit by mixing semi permanent color with sulfate free shampoo and conditioner (which it does work). However, when I found this product and tried it, none of the other products stood a chance next to No Fade Fresh! Holy cow I was IMPRESSED! The color is extremely pigmented, the consistency is a bit thin, and the smell is just meh for me but it works! It does dry my hair out but I just put a leave in conditioner afterwards and it’s fine. This product works so well that my daughter wanted to try it out. She had some blue left over in her hair that faded to a green and some blonde highlights and when we added the purple it completely changed her look in a good way! It turned her blue/green into a dark blue/purple and her blonde into a purplish magenta making her hair look like a galaxy! It was so awesome looking! The color even remained in her hair after washing it and not reapplying. To say I’m impressed is an understatement! Because of this product I may continue to stay purple for awhile. I’m thrilled I found this product! I hope they come out with more fun colors!Rachel Buchanan

Adds color while you shampoo. Ounce per ounce, it is a bit pricey and it doesn’t seem to lather up as much. So compared to ordinary shampoos, you may end up using more of this product to feel like you’ve gotten you hair clean enough, to where you’d expect it to be, having just washed it. It works best on color treated hair but if you’re using this product for the first time, you shouldn’t expect to see the vivid color results like the hair swatches on the website or the ads. If you’re using this shampoo to maintain your already ultra-bright hair color, it should work beautifully— provided you follow the directions carefully. If you’re starting with hair that’s just been bleached light blonde or platinum, you should see great results too— provided you allow it enough time (several minutes) to soak in. If you’re building on hair that’s been dyed, but it’s a “normal “ hair color, then you’ll likely get wonderful jewel tones. Pretty, but nowhere near the bright colors you saw, that probably got your attention. Use nylon or plastic gloves. At first, I felt it went without saying because it IS hair coloring, but after reading several other comments, I want to reiterate: even though gloves are not included, they are recommended. And just like with traditional hair color, you should also apply a thin layer of protection around your hairline before using this product too. You can use either a proprietary product or your own, just create some kind of a barrier with an oil-based product (like Vaseline or AD ointment) something that won’t be absorbed but rather prevent the color from soaking into your skin while you’re waiting for the color to set. Wipe away any blobs of excess color that might get onto your ears or face too.nora.m

My lovely hair stylist recommended Celeb Viral color a little over a year ago and I have used it ever since. It keeps my hair smooth, my purple hair vibrant, and just overall my hair hasn’t been healthier. Thank you so very much! It keeps my hair purple for over 18 weeks between hair appointments to refresh the color. I’m sure I could go longer without having to see my stylist thanks to using this to wonder shampoo, but l like to make sure my hair stays healthy. The only cons I would say aside from it being really good, is that it does stain the tub every time I use it, but I found borax soap cleans it up nicely. Aside from that, it’s a bit pricey for such a slim bottle and I have to use quite a bit because I have really long hair. Otherwise, it’s definitely the bang for your buck and does what it says, keeps the color nice! Thank you so much!Popkitty

Since my brunette hair can't hold purple color very long, I was going through desperate lengths to keep it looking fresh and vibrant. I was limiting hair washing down to 3 times a week, using the coldest water I could stand and top of the line shampoos/conditioner that either specialize in fade prevention or advertise color protection; I even installed a soft water filter in my shower head! My stylist recommended me get it colored every 6 weeks, due to it just washing down the drain in a matter of weeks and that is just something I can't afford to do that often; She educated me of this line and I cant live without it!! My hair looks as it did the day I left the salon. This stuff has saved me so much money because it is no longer necessary for me to get my hair colored every 6 weeks, but more like 3 or 4 times a year! Sometimes it dries my hair out, but nothing a leave in conditioner or deep conditioning treatment can't fix. If I could change one thing it would be them offering a much larger size, because I go through this every 2 – 3 months or so. Yes it will get everywhere and could stain your tub/shower but I use a tile cleaner with bleach and it eliminates all of it as if nothing happened. I also don't use this alone, I layer my favorite color protection shampoo over the colorwash and fade prevention(moisture adding) conditioner over the colorditioner, both assist with shine, keep it maintained and preventing my hair from getting brittle. A must have for hair color fanatics!go_ask_alice

I've been almost every color under the sun and I wish something like this had been available when I first went red years ago. Just a little info about my hair, I have naturally brown, very thin straight hair that I had been bleaching for about 2-2 1/2 years. I was tired of the damage being blonde was giving me so I decided to go red-completely spacing that my hair was used to not holding really any color. The first dye was rough, by a week and a half in my blonde was starting to peek through and the red was very dull. I asked my stylist for something to refresh my hair and she suggested the copper tone one. I read on here someone used theirs like a hair dye (they just put it evenly on dry hair and let it sit). So I did the same and had it sit for about 30 mins. I then washed with cold water and followed with the shampoo. I will say-yes, this shampoo can be drying; but as long as you use periodic hair masks and don't use it every wash it is GREAT! It was a complete 180, the more I use this shampoo the greater the results. I now use the red and the copper tone off and on and I like the look the combination of them gives. I would not recommend this for anyone that has brown to darker hair. This will not lift your hair. It is just a color refresh. As with reds always try to use cold water. I use a shower cap that way I don't have to freeze when washing my body (probably the best tip I can give, just shampoo put a cap on and then shave or wash your body while it is setting). I don't usually write reviews but I had a hard time finding people with my specific situation (blonde to red) so I hope this helps!April

In my opinion, red hair is one of the most gorgeous possible hair colors out there. Unfortunately, maintaining red hair is a huge pain. Naturally, I have light brown hair. Me and my hair stylist decided on a whim one day that I was going to go red – so that she could test out a new dye she got on me. I was excited and also apprehensive because I've been down this road before (about 10 years ago when I was in high school). I remember being SO mad when I washed my hair that first time and the majority of my color came out. 17 year old me used Garnier Fructis Color shield shampoo. It was terrible. So, needless to say, the task of finding the right shampoo was a bit daunting for me. I went to Ulta, and after looking at probably every shampoo in the store two or three times, I decided on this one. Now, if you know anything about red hair, fading is inevitable. It fades with every wash and every time you use heat on it. Even when you do everything right and wash as few times as possible and use only cold water (beauty truly is pain, y'all!). Other fun factors like sweat can contribute too. The color on the layers surrounding my neck has faded significantly faster. But all things considered, this shampoo has kept my color as vibrant as possible. It's been a month since I dyed my hair, and it's still holding up. Fading has happened, yes. But you can still tell that it's red, it hasn't turned auburn on me (which is what happened when I went with garnier fructis). So I don't have a whole lot to compare it to, but it works. I didn't experience any drying like some reviews had said about other color deposit shampoos (i was really scared about that!), and I left both the shampoo and conditioner in for the full 3 minutes each time I used them. I would buy again and I would recommend it!Kay

so I have natural strawberry blonde hair honestly more on the very faded ginger side, during the summer my hair loses a lot of its red color from the sun. so I was very scared to use this since I didnt want it to look like I dyed my hair. i washed my hair with his and conditioned with a regular none colored conditioner and it does exactly what it is supposed to do! the color is very subtle, coppery tone first time I used it it looked only a little bit more coppery second time made my hair look more like its natural ginger shade. I only use it twice every other week since it does continue to build color and that's not what I personally wanted, it does not foam a lot, it does dry hair a little bit but if your hair is healthy you will be just fine my conditioning and a bit of hair oil fixed it. I do think this would only work with light hair and better with natural hair because the effect is beautiful but subtle at first. dont by any means expect huge results immediately it's not a hair dye it's a shampoo with a bit of hair color in it. in conclusion I'd say if your curious and want a natural ginger color go for it, if you want intense results you will be disappointed. also it looks super orange dont panic you're good and as long as you wash your hands afterwards in the shower you will be 100%E

This product was not the real deal. The contents were not the true product. Thought I was getting a deal at $19 for something worth $30; got what I paid for – garbage. I recommend not purchasing from a Marketplace partner.Charlene

Silver tresses looking kinda brassy or yellow? This product will take the yellow away and leave behind a healthy, shiny, ready to style head of hair. I am sometimes wary of bluing shampoo because some can leave that blue haired lady look but this one no. I leave mine on 10 minutes once every two weeks in place of normal shampoo and wala great gray hair. As a precaution if you have processed or bleached hair do a test first. This can just like other violet and blue based products become trapped in porous areas leaving a not so nice blotchy mess. It comes out but why risk it. Davines is a wonderful haircare company with an array of products to help with just about all hair concerns. Wonderful. One bottle of this should last over a year easily if used correctly. Totally gets my Auntie Mame Seal of Approval!auntiemamesdrawers/estates.t

I recently just purchased this shampoo since I didn’t have a toning product for my blonde hair. First off, I really liked how heavy and cute the packaging was. When I opened it, the smell is not unpleasant but not something I would typically gravitate towards to. It’s something you quickly get used to as you use it more and more. The lather was something really luxurious as it instantly made my slightly dry and brassy hair feel a lot softer! By the end of my wash, I noticed a huge difference in the tone of my hair! The only concern I had with this product was the amount of product for the price, since I have insanely thick hair but even then the product has lasted me about a month and a week.ana.o

This thickening shampoo is great! My hair instantly feels thicker and smoother after washing it with this shampoo! The application process is great! I like that it's made out of simple ingredients. With some shampoos, I noticed because of the harsh chemicals, my hair falls out more after washing it. With this shampoo, it's the opposite. My hair doesn't fall out and it feels and looks more healthier. The scent is amazing! The only downfall about this product is that it sometimes makes your scalp drier. To avoid this, I usually apply a hair oil or serum and it solves the issue!iHerb Customer

I'm not a fan of this shampoo at all. It feels very drying – a thin shampoo consistency that lathers like an unusual amount, the scent is really strong and doesn't seem as luxurious as a lot of the other options, and I have to wash my hair a lot more frequently with it because it gets greasy after only 1-2 days. I won't be coming back for more. I've found some fantastic other products on Vitacost for me. My 9 year-old loves it so he uses it. We use a lot of natural products in our house and I think he loves the strong lemony scent of this compared to the "boring" or non-existent scents of our other products.strawberry

This is my DREAM shampoo, after many years of struggles and health changes! I have straight fine hair that NEVER has volume. I used to get a little volume from my thickness… that is, until I went off dairy and gluten as part of a healthier diet in my mid-30s. Losing that "overdose" of calcium (and I mean, I was ADDICTED to dairy, so I went from a huge dairy diet to none) just changed my body. There were many positive changes, and this was a holistic health decision, and I stand by it, but I was so sad at what became of my hair. Five years after my diet changes, I got pregnant, and pregnancy vitamins helped my hair thicken again, but of course, when pregnancy and breastfeeding were over, I stopped the vitamins, and my hair got thinner than it was before pregnancy. I tried many suggestions about rose oil and the horse shampoo to help hair growth, etc. But none of it really helped, and the horse shampoo just made my hair hang and look sad. So when I tried Desert Essence's Mango, I picked this scent because it said it helped with volume, but I didn't have much hope. Oh my friggin' goodness, this stuff was AWESOME!!! I began to see results after the first couple of washes, and when I use the Mango Conditioner too, it's even better. I love how it smells. My husband is really attracted to the scent. My toddler notices the smell too and likes the smell of mom's hair. I normally dye and highlight my hair, and this has been really reparative and restorative to the harshness of those chemicals. I am just in love with this shampoo, and so grateful I can feel good about my hair again, for the first time in eight years! I am now pregnant again, and I trust Desert Essence products to be safe to use throughout my pregnancy and breastfeeding, and I am so happy I will have this product to continue to feel good about my hair as my body changes through all the symptoms of pregnancy.OMama

Love my line of John Frieda products. Had to add this and the Red Boosting Conditioner to my collection. I find this is awesome. Smell could be better, especially the conditioner though. Some have said that they dound it irritated their scalp but I will say I havent had this problem. Will totally but this again once it gets low.amy.c

Hi, I am naturally dark blonde with some highlights and some actual red hairs (my sister was a natural dark strawberry blonde). I've been using your Blonde Highlighting shampoo and conditioner for years–saw this and thought I would experiment. It turned out pretty well! Now I have a question–what will happen if I go back to the Blonde Highlighting shampoo for my next wash? (It's for a Halloween thing). I don't want to have any weird green, orange or whatever colors.tracy89

I’ve now got side greys on my cherished naturally dark reddish brown hair & it’s looking a bit draining on my 60 year old face. I wanted a copper colour deposit conditioner (like the sadly discontinued Madder Red which I miss!). This is a little too cherry red/pink for me so I mixed it with a small blob of Plantur Brown conditioner (sold by Boots & VERY effective) & left for 20 mins – I now have golden coppery hair where the greying side hairs were! I think I’ll give up my typing job & become an alchemist! Thanks Boots for stocking a good range of products to blend with! XxBlackberry61
