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 really love the shine this adds to my hair. The color is deep and rich, which is just how I like my hair to look. I have very short hair, so I will enjoy this product for some time.

I don’t leave reviews…like EVER!I was a white/blonde haired child but now have natural dishwater blonde hair with some grays coming in on top. I dyed my hair light brown in October and it never holds color well so it turned dark golden blonde. I wanted my bright childhood blonde back but can’t drop $259-$300 at the salon right now so I bleached it with two Clairol home bleaching kits (I have long hair). It turned lemony or very light butter yellow which looks weird with my skin tone. My hair is in such good condition that purple shampoo actually wasn’t working so I tried this product in “Cool Cream” after watching a girl on YouTube apply it to her very porous hair for 5 minutes. I left it on for 10 starting with the most lemony parts and probably more like 5 on my ends. This is the first time my at home bleach blonde hair job looks a) like when I was young and b) like I did go to a professional! Smells awesome and made my hair feel soft to boot! Oh AND it’s enough for probably 3 applications on my long hair! LOVE!!!

I have dirty blonde hair that has been highlighted bright blonde for years. Recently I dyed my hair from cool blond to very warm strawberry blonde (redhead) at the salon. I bought the bright copper color to keep my color looking fresh between salon visits. I mixed the bright copper product 50/50 with the white mix and left it on for 7–10 min. The result is a TRUE saturated copper which leans a bit orange on the parts of my hair that were brightly highlighted from the salon. I think the product worked well as far as color deposit, but you may need to consider mixing it with some violet and brown tones to edge away from looking too unnaturally orange, especially on hair that has been previously highlighted.

It leaves my hair more orange than I like as I’m going for the natural golden ginger color and this doesn’t really do that, I usually mix it with conditioner or a mask to get the results I’m looking for but even then it’s not really even with my ends getting really saturated and my roots not getting any color at all. Also no matter how I use it it doesn’t last more the 1 wash.Still looking for a better option to protect and maintain my color.

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 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.
