The Color & Co Color Gloss Conditioner Keeps My Red Hair Vibrant for Weeks
August 20, 2021
How to Use the Color & Co. Color Gloss Conditioner
There are a few ways you can use this semi-permanent hair dye-conditioner hybrid. The first is in place of a regular conditioner when you shower — this is how I typically use it. After shampooing, I liberally massage the cream into my hair and let it sit for five minutes while I wash my body. After five minutes, I rinse it out until the water runs clear, then I dry my hair and style as usual.
Since red hair fades so quickly, it typically needs a refresh about three weeks post-dye. So for a more immediate result, the Color Gloss Conditioner can also be used as a color-boosting mask. I fully saturate my dry hair with the cream — focusing on the ends — and let it sit for 10 minutes before rinsing it out in the shower.
My Results
Color-depositing conditioners don’t always have a rich, creamy texture like traditional conditioners, but one of the things I appreciate about the Color Gloss Conditioner is it’s lush consistency. Upon first application in the shower, I could feel my hair getting softer. Since I started using it in place of my regular conditioner, my color has remained vivid and my hair has been extra shiny, soft and frizz-free.
While I love the results when using the Color Gloss Conditioner two to three times a week when I wash my hair, it is even better as a color-boosting mask. Right around three weeks post-dye, my ginger-ness starts to dull, so to give my hair a little boost I used the conditioner as a mask — and the results were immediate. My rich auburn color was restored as if I had freshly colored my hair. I typically dye my hair every five weeks, but I’m now able to extend it to six weeks since the color stays so fresh.
