Colorwash Blue Conditioner

So I spent $450 dollars to get hot pink balayage/two tone hair. To my dismay the pink faded within 2 weeks almost out to blonde at my tips and a dull pink towards my roots. I contacted my hairdresser who said I could go back in for an overlay of color for $150. After just spending $450 two and a half weeks before there was no way I was going to agree to $150 upkeep appointments every 2 to 3 weeks. I researched hot pink hair dye and found Arctic Fox that was very close to my original color. I ordered the dye and figured I’d just have to dye it myself every few weeks (at $20 a pop) Then this product popped up in my search so I clicked on it. It had great reviews and it seemed like it might do the job so I ordered it to give it a try. Both this and the hair dye came in at the same time and I opted to try the conditioner first. I put it on my dry hair and let it sit for 20 minutes to get the most bang for my buck. It did dye my hands and scalp pink. My hands scrubbed off and I’m sure my scalp will at my next wash. I did Have to use a separate conditioner after rinsing out this product. My hair was NOT soft as it was advertised it would be. I did rinse my hair off in the shower and the water did turn pink but it did not stain my white tub. I’m extremely pleased with the color my hair came out. It’s not as bright of a pink as my hair was originally dyed. It’s more of a vibrant magenta. However, it is pretty and my color is definitely refreshed. I think from now on I’ll use it for 5 minutes as a refresh every few washes and see if that lightens up the color a little more. The price point is fairly high but for $40 I will get several applications (my hair is fairly fine, down to my mid back). I will continue to see my hairdresser every 8 to 10 weeks and use this conditioner to keep my color vibrant in between. If you are on the fence and are looking for something to keep your hair vibrant colors in between dye appointments I would high recommend this product! ****UPDATE**** I’m at day 10 since I used this conditioner. I didn’t wash in cold water and I’ve washed my hair twice. So far the color is holding up! It’s still very vibrant. There is a very slight fade going on at my tips but I only noticed it because I was going over my hair with an eagle eye specifically looking for any fading. This color (so far) held up better than the color I had done in the salon. Go figure!
