Changing up your hair color is a low-key way to reinvent yourself (it takes far less commitment than a haircut, which requires the dreaded grow-out). Color-depositing conditioners have come a long way, and they’re just the thing if you want to kick up your tint or maintain a salon job—with zero damage and only luxurious hydration as a result.
To double up on the color punch, choose a shampoo-conditioner duo! Boost your color even more by leaving the conditioner in for several minutes as you wash the rest of your body.
For extra staying power and a more dramatic effect, apply conditioner to dry hair, let it stay for at least 20 minutes, then rinse. This works especially well for fashion colors, like dreamy pinks and blues.
The best part about a color-depositing conditioner? It fades little by little. At maximum, it should wash out in 25 shampoos. And if you ever need to speed up the fading process, you can rinse with a clarifying shampoo.
