Gem Lites Conditioner

So I spent $450 dollars to get hot pink balayage/two tone hair. To my dismay the pink faded within 2 weeks almost out to blonde at my tips and a dull pink towards my roots. I contacted my hairdresser who said I could go back in for an overlay of color for $150. After just spending $450 two and a half weeks before there was no way I was going to agree to $150 upkeep appointments every 2 to 3 weeks. I researched hot pink hair dye and found Arctic Fox that was very close to my original color. I ordered the dye and figured I’d just have to dye it myself every few weeks (at $20 a pop) Then this product popped up in my search so I clicked on it. It had great reviews and it seemed like it might do the job so I ordered it to give it a try. Both this and the hair dye came in at the same time and I opted to try the conditioner first. I put it on my dry hair and let it sit for 20 minutes to get the most bang for my buck. It did dye my hands and scalp pink. My hands scrubbed off and I’m sure my scalp will at my next wash. I did Have to use a separate conditioner after rinsing out this product. My hair was NOT soft as it was advertised it would be. I did rinse my hair off in the shower and the water did turn pink but it did not stain my white tub. I’m extremely pleased with the color my hair came out. It’s not as bright of a pink as my hair was originally dyed. It’s more of a vibrant magenta. However, it is pretty and my color is definitely refreshed. I think from now on I’ll use it for 5 minutes as a refresh every few washes and see if that lightens up the color a little more. The price point is fairly high but for $40 I will get several applications (my hair is fairly fine, down to my mid back). I will continue to see my hairdresser every 8 to 10 weeks and use this conditioner to keep my color vibrant in between. If you are on the fence and are looking for something to keep your hair vibrant colors in between dye appointments I would high recommend this product! ****UPDATE**** I’m at day 10 since I used this conditioner. I didn’t wash in cold water and I’ve washed my hair twice. So far the color is holding up! It’s still very vibrant. There is a very slight fade going on at my tips but I only noticed it because I was going over my hair with an eagle eye specifically looking for any fading. This color (so far) held up better than the color I had done in the salon. Go figure!

This keeps my red so vivid. Outstanding product! to extend color.. Wear gloves or get caught red handed!

REVIEW FOR PURPLE & RUBY Technique: What I've found works best is to apply generously to dry, relatively clean hair (not too oIily), then leave in for several hours. This way it also works well as a conditioning treatment. If you wash your hair only 1-2 times a week, it will last at least a month with a very slow fade. Look: The colors are very vibrant for the first couple of washes. The ruby is hot pink with lighter shades of hair (i.e. my grays) and a deep ruby on my brown. Both of these take really well to my grays. I get SO many compliments with these, more than I have ever had on my hair in the past. People love the variation between how the color takes to my grays vs browns, and they also love the transition when I've done the purple and my hair starts to grow out where you can see both the gray and the purple (they say it looks ombre-ish. TBH the Ruby is a little much for me - I feel like it's not as complimentary to my light skin tone in pics, so I will probably go for a more natural red next time. Photos: Both pics are after several washes. Cons: It will stain surfaces, so you have to be so careful. I cover the counter/sink with trash bags to avoid getting it on anything. It will also bleed quite a bit after washes, so you want to make sure you cover any surfaces your head is on with a towel if air drying your hair. I chose this over the brand I normally get (by Moroccan Oil) bc they didn't have the deep shade of purple I wanted. From what I remember, the Moroccan Oil leaves my hair feeling softer, but color seems to bleed faster than this one. I use a small amount of leave-in Biosilk daily which makes up for the softness I got with the Moroccan Oil brand.

I have dark brown hair and my stylist dyes it with purple and red overtones to give it some variety and pizzazz. The purple always fades before my next salon visit and I'm left with the red which gets a little brassy. She recommended this conditioner to keep the purple bright and it's been working great. I've been using it for a few months and it does keep the purple overtones- it's not super obvious or distracting, especially indoors- outdoors it's brighter and has more pop. I get a lot of compliments on my color much further from my salon visits now. It does temporarily stain hands and white tile and towels, but it washes out right away.

This stuff does exactly what it says it will. I got my hair bleached and coloured red at the salon almost nine weeks ago. Using this conditioner after every other shampoo is working wonders at keeping it vibrant. It doesn't look faded at all! I have fairly fine hair, so your mileage may vary if you have coarser hair, but for me and my hair type, I'm a believer. It does leave some mild staining on the skin around the hair even after a lot of washing, but it comes off easily when you wipe it off with a cotton ball or a cloth or something. I find it doesn't stain my hands as much (basically not at all), probably because it isn't sitting on that skin as long.

Ok

Yo he cogido el tono plateado y no me ha funcionado, no veo la diferencia, 32 eurazos a la basura!!!

Llevaba mucho tiempo queriendo probar esta marca en casa, compré el morado, no se aleja mucho de otros productos similares que he utilizado y encima es muchísimo más caro, existen maneras un poco más económicas de mantenerme el cabello púrpura y con buenos resultados

Loved it will be ordering more. Doesn't cover all my grey but definitely lessens it, my salon colour lasts longer and looks better
