Maria Nila Color Refresh, 10.1 Fl Oz, Color Bomb, Semi-Permanent Pigments, 100% Vegan & Sulfate/Paraben free

I colored my hair for the first time in over 15 years, usually my go to is a dark auburn, I like reds for my skin tone. I tried a new color, all natural, recommended by a friend and the color was supposed to be dark red. It turned my hair a horrible copper penny color, very light and harsh. I did not want to re-dye and through research found this product, read every single review and ordered. I got the cacao intense as I needed to darken but hopefully keep the red tones. My hair is short, very fine and thin so it didn't take much product. I was nervous about how dark it would be so I diluted with some water, put on damp hair, applied with a toothbrush which worked really well and once saturated combed through. I didn't want to leave on too long, the directions said 3-7 minutes so I did approx. 4, rinsed and conditioned. The results were amazing. I wanted it a bit darker, still had a bit of copper shine so I reapplied but this time did not dilute and I kept is on longer, maybe 5-7 min. I am so amazed by how well this worked. The color came out so good, exactly as I wanted and my hair is super soft. I used Carols Daughter Goddess strength fortifying conditioner after rinsing and my hair looks and feels amazing. I saw many comments in the reviews that said it stained the tub or sink and to be sure to wear gloves but using the toothbrush and comb I didn't need gloves and if any color got in the sink while applying I rinsed right then and no problems at all. The tub is fine as well. I would say do first application on the cautious side, diluted and for a short period and see how it looks as you can reapply if it's not there yet. So happy I found this. In regards to some saying it's expensive, it's really not. The tub will last for many applications especially if you have shorter fine hair like mine. So totally worth it and it saved the day.

I adore this product. It has been instrumental to maintaining my red hair color between appointments. Smells great as well. Can stain your shower/tub depending on the material so make sure to wipe off any product on the walls before exiting the shower.

I love Maria Nilla products but this one is genius for hair with color. People comment how my color never fades- and they are right. Thanks to this product. It is easy to use and keep your cold perfect. I use a Violet shade. If they offer it for regular hair colors I am not sure but I would add the brown as well if they did and extend my re-color time by several weeks I am sure.

Good but leaves your hands and shower red

I got the cool cream. Just happened to stumble upon it.Context: I have tried every purple shampoo, mask, etc under the sun. Several well known toners have helped, but it’s always a gamble as you never know what you’ll get seeing as there could be a myriad of tones to correct and there is no one size fits all. (Until this.)I’ve had my hair bleached several times, it’s different levels (7-10) all over my head, and has been so difficult to try and make it look like one color due to the varying levels of porosity and lightness. At best, I can get a mostly cool blonde with some orangey spots after using a mixture of purple and blue shampoos in the darker areas. Except it’s usually greenish. Like dishwater.This is it! Who knows how they’ve done it; this is a perfect cool blonde. Friends, it took my train wreck damaged blonde bob and made it all one cohesive color: a beautiful, light, natural looking taupe that shimmers in the light. And it’s very NOT greenish. It’s actually, truly PERFECT. And smells yummy. And doesn’t hurt my hair.I am so glad I can ditch all the other things I’ve tried because I’ve finally found the one. It’s pricey, and it’s not a huge bottle, but trust me when I say JUST GET IT. It’s magical. I am going to save a lot of money on stuff that doesn’t work just subscribing to this.

So I’ve been using this product for about two weeks now on and off to touch up my hair. I have noticed a difference for sure after using it but would say it’s not exactly the shade I was hoping for. If you need a neutral color brown this shade isn’t it. I had pink hair before this but my roots are very much a deep blonde naturally so I was trying to match it. I do think this product helps achieve a new look pretty easily but I don’t know if I would get this shade again. I think it’s pretty expensive for the size you get. I think you go through it pretty fast too depending how frequently you have to use it. The instructions say to use on clean hair so if you are looking for something to use in the shower I wouldn’t really suggest it as you have to wear gloves and get out of the shower to be sure you have it all saturated and it’s just not very convenient. I am in the process of trying it on dry hair to see how that works. Will update if I’m able

Like many others during the c times, I started doing my own hair since I couldn't go to the salon. Since it was an incredibly stressful time, I did the thing. I bleached my hair. And I couldn't stop. It shows. I finally decided to leave my new growth alone and I've been using color conditioners to try to bring my new growth and my bleached hair closer together in color. I've tried all the brands at Ulta and Sally but I wasn't super impressed by any of them, especially in terms of longevity. Then I found this on Amazon, and it's the absolute best out of every brand I've tried. I've attached a pic of Vivid Violet after a couple of washes. Even better, my hair loves it. When I dry and style my hair after rinsing this out, my hair looks healthy and professionally done. One bottle has lasted me two months, so it's definitely worth the price for me.When I use this, I put it on my dry hair, comb it through, and let it sit for about 15 minutes then wash my hair like normal. It doesn't stain my sink or tub and it washes off my skin easily.

The mask makes hair brighter than it is and naturally red
