FOUR REASONS Color Mask, Red (27 Colors) – Hair Gloss & Color Depositing Conditioner – Semi Permanent Hair Toner for Color-Treated Hair Color For Women – Vegan & Cruelty-Free – 6.76 fl oz

I really liked this color mask. The shade turned out deep and vibrant, exactly what I was expecting. The texture is smooth and easy to apply, spreads evenly, and doesn’t drip. After using it, my hair feels softer, looks shinier, and more well-maintained. The scent is pleasant and not too strong. I would definitely order it again and try other shades.

Conditioning for damaged hair After heavy bleaching, my hair was fragile and desperately needed moisture, but also tone correction (it was way too yellow!). This mask tackled both issues effectively. It significantly reduced breakage during rinsing and combing, and the Cool Sand tone immediately corrected the harsh yellow cast. It truly is a dual-action product—strong toning power combined with intense ingredients. Highly satisfied customer!

I was surprised the rinse was 100% clear & wondered if i didn’t use enough. Amazon recommended after i inquired an alternative to wella’s awful smell even after one shampoo. I asked for cruelty free, no odor and brown gloss.. i Left it on 30 minutes. It left a Great sheen and shine but did not deposit color. I like my virgin hair color, no gray but it’s long and fades from sun and maybe something i did 5 yrs ago creates a brassiness. Havent touched in that long. … this did not deposit color. So i tried again on the frame- and maybe 10% difference? Sigh.

I usually use DPHue for a color conditioner but tried this Four Reasons since it was on a Prime Deal sale. Hair issue: I had my super baby fine medium brown hair colored on impulse and the stylist made it too 'warm' - as in it looked a little too gold toned and almost brassy --I tried to like it as the color was done very well using Aveda products, but the gold/reddish tone is what I'd said I did not want. I went back to the salon about 2 months later and she said she could put a toner in it and it would cost around $30. Okay, I spent a lot on the color that I didn't like but I figured $30 more to tone it down would be a good idea. However, she put in the toner and it was in my hair for less than 5 minutes--maybe 2 or 3--before she rinsed it out. Okay. $30 for 2-3 minutes of toning, or I could spend around that much for color conditioner that I can use for months! Lesson learned. Both Four Reasons and DPHue condition the hair about the same--if you have super baby fine hair as I do, then you'll be okay with the conditioning aspects. However, if I leave the color mask on for a little longer, I'd condition before or after. If you have dry hair or coarse hair, you may want to use a separate conditioner before or after. DPHue deposits a deeper color - their cool medium brown was darker than this chocolate brown. I like the shine and deep color that DPHue gives me, but it was a little too dark and their light brown was too light. This FR chocolate brown seemed to be closer to my natural medium brown hair color, and as well worked to tone down the hair color I didn't like after the toner my stylist applied began to wash out. I did worry that FR's chocolate would be too 'warm,' as in reddish, which is what I didn't want. However, it didn't go "gold brassy reddish" like the color the stylist applied and instead was closer to my brown that naturally has some warm tones to it. There's a difference between warm pretty brown with some warm tones and the 'gold-reddish' tones that can read brassy in certain light. So I was fine with the warm chocolate brown tones this FR gave my hair. DPHue stained things (my hands, whatever it touched) a lot more than Four Reasons. Likely because DPHue is a semi-perm mask that applies deep color and this FR is a toning treatment that also deposits some color. I didn't have as much staining on my hands with FR, and FR washed away from my hands easier than with DPHue. According to what you need either DPHue or Four Reasons will work: if you want a deeper longer lasting color that even colors some greys, then DPHue is the better choice. If you want to tone down a color that looks too gold or brassy, then Four Reasons does the job well but it won't cover grey very much at all. I like DPHue's color saturation better and for the greys I have, DPHue covered them better by a long shot, while FR chocolate brown doesn't look as harshly dark and worked more to tone out those brassy tones. But once this tube is empty, I'll likely experiment with DPHue colors again to find the one (or ones, as you can mix them) that works with my hair for more color saturation. DPHue wins in the color saturation area, especially grays. But Four Reasons wins in the toning area without making my hair too dark. If you use as directed - not too often, etc - you can use color depositing conditioners to keep your hair looking rich and shiny and beautiful without having to go to a salon (where the prices are becoming ridiculously expensive!). Unless you have a lot of grey that you want to cover, these conditioners do the job very well.

Being blonde is fun, but also a pain! After attempting a salon appointment to get my yellowish blonde more to a strawberry or honey blonde (which failed horribly), I took a year to let my hair grow back (because of course she cut it too short!) and now wanted to try something. I am a coward, so permanent dye was not my go-to, but I had heard about toners and other products like this, so it was time I try. And WOW! So so happy with it! I've only used it once so far and washed once since getting, and I am really happy with the results so far. For application, I did partially wet hair and worked in the product in all sections of my hair going from the under layers and finishing with the top, left in for 20 minutes (once I finished the last section), and rinsed it out after. My hair is prone to not keeping moisture, so I may suggest using this product, and the following night or day to do some oil or extra conditioner to bring back softness and silky feel. Otherwise I had no issues or noticed any negative changes in my hair! Yay! Pictures (I think in order) are the first two showing the color in what sunshine I could find, then the product itself with my hair before, and then the collage of before and after. Yes my bathroom lighting is awful and quite cold in shade, but you can see at least a bit of how it changed. I would say in natural/sunlight you can really see the difference! It's not a mind-blowing change, but man I'm so happy that I have a great, cheap(ish) product that gets my hair exactly as I want. This plus cutting my hair myself makes for a happy wallet, and happy person!

I did a lot of research before selecting this product. My hair is bleached blonde and is porous as I already know. I waited about 2 1/2 weeks after bleaching it to use this product. I presumed it would add perhaps a light sandy blonde color with slightly different shades of light blonde-like sand. As soon as I started to add the product into my hair I noticed my hair had started to turn dark ash brown-not gray but brown! I went straight to the shower and washed it out immediately,it was two minutes from start to finish and all I could do was crying. I'm not one of those super attached people to their hair,but my hair is already on the thin side and doesn't grow past my shoulders,I take as good care possible because of these reasons and for a product to do that to my hair really took an emotional toll on me. I personally wouldn't recommend it as it not only didn't give the color I was looking for but how fast the color went into my hair. Five to ten minutes is beyond misleading especially depending on a person's hair. My hair might be thin but it was healthy beforehand. I have been spending the last three weeks using clarifying shampoo and other products from a company that are gentle on it to help get rid of the terrible hair color. Never again.

I searched high and low for a direct-deposit dye type product that would tone my hair closer to my naturally cool brown regrowth and this did a nice job. I still see some warmth but that was expected. Loved the ease of use, and my hair feels very soft. The after photo is 1 day after use so I don’t yet know how long it will last, but I will be using it again as needed.

Goodbye brass, hello cool tone My biggest struggle is always maintaining that delicate balance between ash and neutral blonde. Purple shampoos were too harsh, often leaving patches of violet on porous ends. This mask offers controlled toning. I apply it primarily to the mid-lengths and ends where brassiness is worst. It successfully shifted my tone from yellow-gold to a sophisticated, even send color
