## Description

desertcart.com : Watercolors Color Depositing Shampoo, Semi Permanent Hair Color 8.5 oz - MOCHA DRENCH : Hair Shampoos : Beauty & Personal Care

Review: This does work - This shampoo WILL provide temporary color. I have auburn hair that bleaches out in the sun to become orphan Annie red.. I bought one of the brown shades. I left this on for three or four minutes and it made a difference. It even mitigated my gray. Expensive, but worth it. If you need a solution, buy it and experiment with it.
Review: I LOVE these. I have the Mocha and the Crimson ... - I LOVE these. I have the Mocha and the Crimson Splash. I used to use the Gemlites in Ruby Red, but it dries my hair out SO badly, even with a good deep conditioning afterward. Because it took a couple regular washes/conditionings to get my hair feeling normal again I would avoid using the Gemlites. The Tressa Watercolors are great. I use them a couple times a week, alternating. I use the Crimson Splash to stain my length, which I get colored a rich brown/magenta, and I use the Mocha when my roots start coming in to dull the gray so it isn't so jarringly noticeable. Definite repurchases. Also, the pricing is better than most of the color depositing options out there.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have naturally dark brown hair, color it a dark copper, which color should I use in this line ?**
A: I found Tressa color deposit shampoo to be the Best Brand & color is natural & Vibrant. I use It's A 10 leave in spray conditioner after....Liquid Copper is a perfect rich bibrant color

**Q: does tessa water color shampoo in liquid copper work well on strawberry blonds?**
A: I am a brunette with kind of ombré golden highlights. If I want something different and fun I'll use the liquid copper and it really adds red within even one use. My advice: use once in shower, leave in 5 min and rinse. If you want it more vibrant it will build after a few times. Very good color deposit.

**Q: Do you need to use a conditioner with this shampoo, or will that wash out the color?**
A: I usually wash my hair with my preferred  regular shampoo then I will use this and let it set for a couple of minutes. I rinse it out then use my conditioner. I use the liquid copper color and can maintain a vibrant color in between salon visits. Everyone is amazed that it's not my natural color because it works so well.

**Q: i know hair dyes are generally damaging to hair. is this product damaging to hair?**
A: This is not a dye. 
It is a shampoo that deposits color and will wash out with regular shampoo in 2 to 3 washings.

It is absolutely not dry and damaging to hair.

Let me state very clearly that if your hair is already dry and damaged that you need to deep condition on a regular basis to get your hair back to being healthy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works to keep your color from fading
*by A***M on November 3, 2025*

This really does work. I've been using it regularly and my dark blonde haircolor was about 3 to 4 weeks old. I went out of town and didn't use it. When I got home I noticed my color and faded by the sun to a medium blonde. My hair was very dirty so I washed it with a regular shampoo then washed it with this. I used a lot of the Watercolors shampoo and left it in for about 15 minutes. I kinda forgot about it until after I blow dried my hair. Then I remembered how light my hair had been before washing and was amazed at the difference! I was back to a dark blonde and it was very natural looking! I knew it wouldn't color my grey roots but I just use L'oreal spray to covers those. So I am definitely going to keep using this! If it worked a bit faster I would give it 5 stars.
