It’s so hard to keep red. I mix this with conditioner to keep up my red in between dyes.

I wanted this to work so badly but after two attempts of it doing absolutely nothing, I threw it in the garbage. Followed the directions and left it on for 5 minutes, nothing. Tried later a second time for 10 minutes, nothing again. Save your money.

So my hubs wanted to see what I'd look like with copper hair and I've been maintaining white platinum hair for about year, which i really love but I knew I didn't want to go back to full blown permanent color just yet. I've been using the purple color of this and knew it would wash out eventually with a good non color safe shampoo so I jumped at them. The copper comes out real bright lol too bright for me long term but it was fun. I added the brown color mask over the copper got this really rich darker copper which I love more.

First off, I have a lot of experience with hair color. I used Sand on my level 9 neutral blonde hair (had been bleached about one month prior). I left Sand on for only 3 minutes because I saw that my hair was brightening very fast, so I rinsed the color out. The result? A vibrant strawberry blonde with a lean toward orange. I love strawberry blonde - but not on me, especially not with the orangey tone. And the orange is an odd color of orange, not natural. I had to use several (drying) detox products to get the color out of my hair. Maria Nila Color Conditioner is densely pigmented and it does condition. The scent is pleasant. But the formula of Sand is definitely off and needs to be altered to be less orange.
