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

For me, this product worked amazingly. It was just what I wanted. I have half virgin hair (warm blonde, level seven to nine depending on sun exposure) and half dyed a year ago with henna (since faded but still there). The first go around, I didn't follow the instructions. I shampooed and conditioned my hair before and after applying. It made my hair very dry and only the virgin parts of my hair took the color. So I decided to put it on my dry hair and leave it on for ten minutes then rinse and condition. It all turned a deep, vivid purple. It left my hair very soft and shiny. The next day, I ordered the cool silver and mixed the two with just a splash of purple and mostly cool silver. I followed the directions this time, leaving it for ten minutes and it cooled the purple down to a deeper, more neutral color. I've washed my hair three or four times since this last application and it still is very purple, a nice neutral medium depth purple. I love it. It also smells soooo good. The only drawbacks are the cost, as you really need quite a bit of product to coat your hair evenly and I have medium-long, but very fine and thin hair. I also got a lot of shedding while using this product but I normally do when I use heavy hair masks, probably because I'm pretty rough during application. But the shedding is not continuous and I've actually had less daily shedding since.

I love this product! I have bright red hair and even with really good products and washing it infrequently, it fades. I have a neutral skin tone that looks awful with the orange red fades down to. I’ve used many color enhancing conditioners but they always either leave my color too brown, too orange, or just I sufficiently vivid. The bright red it a perfect cool red, it deposits well, it smells lovely, and makes my hair soft. Like any red color enhancing shampoo it can stain so be careful but ty also means it lasts nicely. I actually get lots of compliments on the red post refresh. I’m hooked!

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.

The media could not be loaded. The picture is before and the video is after using the copper color. I love the color it gave my hair and it’s very soft. Not too dramatic!

I love using this product to keep my hair fresh between trips to the salon! Keeps it shiney and soft

I get my hair done professionally about every 5-6 months. I hate paying the expense for my highlights to be redone. I have dark brown hair with red/brown and carmel highlights. To keep the life of my highlights going I use this! I leave for about 5 minutes to give some life to the color and my hair feels soooo soft. I use it probably every 2 weeks. I feel like it enhances the color that’s already there and just refreshes it. So far no allergy issues with it and hasn’t mess up hair.

(review from my husband's account) Excellent! You get more color the longer you leave it in and it doesn't completely cover greys but covers some of them and blends in the rest. I have light brown hair and I like my greys but it was looking really odd with the color of my natural hair. I use this every other week or so and it fades gorgeously. My natural hair also holds on to the darker brown so when it fades out of my greys it still looks a lot better. I have pretty short hair so I've used it twice and still have about half left.

Does not work. Hardly colors the hair. Tried it multiple times. Doesn’t even stain the gloves that is used put dye on hair. Tried to keep it full 10 min- still no results.
