Review: Very effective, beautiful shade of red - I've been using this brand of Mahogany Red conditioner twice a week after I wash my hair for about 6 months now on my already red dyed hair. It does well to keep the color fresh and bright. However, it is not a very effective conditioner and my fine hair dries out very easily especially when I apply daily heat while styling. To combat this, I condition my hair with my normal conditioner twice a week, about 2 days after I use this product. Also, this product is extremely pigmented and can temporarily stain your scalp and hands. Depending on how much pigment you want to deposit into your hair, you can change how you use this product. To deposit more color (maybe an initial application to completelychange your hair color), I apply it to my DRY hair and let it sit for the duration of my shower (20 min or so) then rinse in cold water without shampooing. If you're on more of a maintenance routine to enhance an existing red, I dilute this conditioner with my normal conditioner with about 1/3 regular conditioner and 2/3 color conditioner by mixing it in my hand before application. This also helps to improve the conditioning ability of this product. I know this sounds a little complicated, but I really enjoy the shade of red this conditioner deposits into my hair and I don't mind the routine. The smell isn't the best, but again, my regular conditioner improves it. The worst side effect is that when I work out at the gym and sweat, the red dye drips onto my face and clothing and can be embarrassing, but I'm sure that's with any coloring product. Overall, it's definitely worth the price and does it's job as a color depositing product.
Review: Color is AMAZING and hair is so SOFT - Used this one time and now I’m convinced I want to dye my entire head red. The conditioner left my hair super soft and the color was amazing! I wish I had a good before picture but it was a medium brown before. I had some red in it when I got it done but it faded super fast.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprised by the results- Happy to Save $$
*by M***Y on September 6, 2025*

Really surprised how well this worked! I've been getting my hair dyed for a while but I needed to find a way to refresh my color and save a little bit of money. Super easy to apply. The color is really vibrant and felt like I just walked out of the salon. Next time I might try mixing some colors to see what it does. I used the mahogany color and it is pretty pungent which anyone who is experienced with red colors, that is perfectly normal. I am really satisfied with the results. I will see how it will fade but this feel no different than going to the salon and getting it redyed. The smell isn't the greatest but it is something I can deal with personally. There are certainly worse smells these kinds of products could have. I wanted to share what I did in case someone out there needs more details. - I highly suggest getting one of those hair dyeing kits with the poncho, clips, shower cap etc etc. I didn't use everything but it was nice to have the items there. - Wear gloves, wear gloves, wear gloves. This stuff stains and will look like a murder scene if you're not careful. Have some cleaner nearby and be diligent about cleaning up messes. I found the bigger the blot, the faster and more it stains. - After trying from a small bit of my hair to test the color, I took a normal shower to shampoo my hair and then did the actually application of the toner at the sink. -Be diligent and make sure to tone all areas of your hair (where you want it obvs). You don't want it look inconsistent. -After applying the toner and letting it sit, I wash it in the sink and then styled it like normal. -So far, it stains very much like fresh salon dyeing. It might get on your clothes, your hands when you touch it, and your pillowcase. So be wary.
