Color Mask, Silver - Color Depositing Conditioner

Update: After not using this for about 7 months to let my hair settle down and to gradually cut off a few inches at a time (I cut my own hair now too), I tried this mask again this morning as my hair was just looking blah and I don't want to go to a salon for color. To experiment, I just dampened my hair, then applied a good blob of this to work into my hair, put on a shower cap, and left it on for about 10-12 minutes. The result is beautiful. Natural. Gave my hair a boost. It very slightly colored some of my greys (I don't have a lot, maybe 20-30%, if guessing) and since my greys are scattered about here and there, it made them look a bit like highlights! My hair is shiny, soft, and has some body. Yay! I'm going to next time try leaving it in for maybe 20 minutes and see what happens. But likely 15 minutes will be just right. Also, I read it is safe to use 1-2x a week - I may try a few times a month, but every so often use a clarifying shampoo so there is no build-up in my hair. LOVE IT! Increasing my 4 stars to 5. DPHue may still win out for saturation but I still like this FR chocolate color better. ------- I usually use DPHue for a color conditioner but tried this Four Reasons since it was on a Prime Deal sale. Hair issue: I had my super baby fine medium brown hair colored on impulse and the stylist made it too 'warm' - as in it looked a little too gold toned and almost brassy --I tried to like it as the color was done very well using Aveda products, but the gold/reddish tone is what I'd said I did not want. I went back to the salon about 2 months later and she said she could put a toner in it and it would cost around $30. Okay, I spent a lot on the color that I didn't like but I figured $30 more to tone it down would be a good idea. However, she put in the toner and it was in my hair for less than 5 minutes--maybe 2 or 3--before she rinsed it out. Okay. $30 for 2-3 minutes of toning, or I could spend around that much for color conditioner that I can use for months! Lesson learned. Both Four Reasons and DPHue condition the hair about the same--if you have super baby fine hair as I do, then you'll be okay with the conditioning aspects. However, if I leave the color mask on for a little longer, I'd condition before or after. If you have dry hair or coarse hair, you may want to use a separate conditioner before or after. DPHue deposits a deeper color - their cool medium brown was darker than this chocolate brown. I like the shine and deep color that DPHue gives me, but it was a little too dark and their light brown was too light. This FR chocolate brown seemed to be closer to my natural medium brown hair color, and as well worked to tone down the hair color I didn't like after the toner my stylist applied began to wash out. I did worry that FR's chocolate would be too 'warm,' as in reddish, which is what I didn't want. However, it didn't go "gold brassy reddish" like the color the stylist applied and instead was closer to my brown that naturally has some warm tones to it. There's a difference between warm pretty brown with some warm tones and the 'gold-reddish' tones that can read brassy in certain light. So I was fine with the warm chocolate brown tones this FR gave my hair. DPHue stained things (my hands, whatever it touched) a lot more than Four Reasons. Likely because DPHue is a semi-perm mask that applies deep color and this FR is a toning treatment that also deposits some color. I didn't have as much staining on my hands with FR, and FR washed away from my hands easier than with DPHue. According to what you need either DPHue or Four Reasons will work: if you want a deeper longer lasting color that even colors some greys, then DPHue is the better choice. If you want to tone down a color that looks too gold or brassy, then Four Reasons does the job well but it won't cover grey very much at all. I like DPHue's color saturation better and for the greys I have, DPHue covered them better by a long shot, while FR chocolate brown doesn't look as harshly dark and worked more to tone out those brassy tones. But once this tube is empty, I'll likely experiment with DPHue colors again to find the one (or ones, as you can mix them) that works with my hair for more color saturation. DPHue wins in the color saturation area, especially grays. But Four Reasons wins in the toning area without making my hair too dark. If you use as directed - not too often, etc - you can use color depositing conditioners to keep your hair looking rich and shiny and beautiful without having to go to a salon (where the prices are becoming ridiculously expensive!). Unless you have a lot of grey that you want to cover, these conditioners do the job very well.

This is what I’ve been looking for for my blonde hair!! My color just gets funky after a couple weeks after I dye it and I dont want the super purple silvery toner, but I don’t want the super gold toner either and this vanilla is a perfect neutral toner. Makes my hair soft and brings the color back in the best of ways.

I did a lot of research before selecting this product. My hair is bleached blonde and is porous as I already know. I waited about 2 1/2 weeks after bleaching it to use this product. I presumed it would add perhaps a light sandy blonde color with slightly different shades of light blonde-like sand. As soon as I started to add the product into my hair I noticed my hair had started to turn dark ash brown-not gray but brown! I went straight to the shower and washed it out immediately,it was two minutes from start to finish and all I could do was crying. I'm not one of those super attached people to their hair,but my hair is already on the thin side and doesn't grow past my shoulders,I take as good care possible because of these reasons and for a product to do that to my hair really took an emotional toll on me. I personally wouldn't recommend it as it not only didn't give the color I was looking for but how fast the color went into my hair. Five to ten minutes is beyond misleading especially depending on a person's hair. My hair might be thin but it was healthy beforehand. I have been spending the last three weeks using clarifying shampoo and other products from a company that are gentle on it to help get rid of the terrible hair color. Never again.

Good product

I wanted to tone my bleach blonde because it washed my out and I had very red roots. This color is very pretty and just enough color depositing my hair no longer washes me out and ages me. Love it!

I was surprised the rinse was 100% clear & wondered if i didn’t use enough. Amazon recommended after i inquired an alternative to wella’s awful smell even after one shampoo. I asked for cruelty free, no odor and brown gloss.. i Left it on 30 minutes. It left a Great sheen and shine but did not deposit color. I like my virgin hair color, no gray but it’s long and fades from sun and maybe something i did 5 yrs ago creates a brassiness. Havent touched in that long. … this did not deposit color. So i tried again on the frame- and maybe 10% difference? Sigh.

Works great and last a while. Took the lightning from a highlight right away for a while.

I searched high and low for a direct-deposit dye type product that would tone my hair closer to my naturally cool brown regrowth and this did a nice job. I still see some warmth but that was expected. Loved the ease of use, and my hair feels very soft. The after photo is 1 day after use so I don’t yet know how long it will last, but I will be using it again as needed.

The first time I tried this, I hadn't read the instructions properly and I felt it did nothing. After finding and reading the instructions then executing the process properly, it took all brassiness out of my hair. Almost gave it a silvery blue hue which I loved.

No color change, waste of money

Très bon produit qui laisse les cheveux très doux, je m’en sert comme masque après chaque shampooing donne un joli reflet pas besoin d’en utiliser beaucoup donc le prix est le même que pour un achat chez le coiffeur

Used this on dry hair put on a shower cap for a bit and I cannot believe how well it worked! I have mixed together bronze and rose gold and it looks great. This is not a very highly pigmented product such as Glaze ( at least not visibly ) but it does colour the hair REALLY really well!

I was blown away with the colour of the pink! I have a medium blonde colour and it covered quite well. Would 100% use it again and recommend
