Great alternative to damaging dyes
I love this Keracolor mocha Clenditioner! I stopped coloring my hair over a year ago to let my gray grow out. I don’t at all object to the color of my gray. I actually think it’s pretty. But as well as turning gray, my hair is turning loose! My hair has gotten so thin which leaves me with a bright, shiny pink scalp shining right through! When my hair has a bit more color to it, it just looks thicker. I really didn’t want to go back to permanent colors, so I’ve tried many different products to solve my problem. I first used dark brown temporary root concealing because I like the look of dark roots. It hides the pink scalp and makes the natural gray look like highlights. That worked ok, but the sprays are all so hard to manage. They spray hard and quick and are difficult to control.
I’ve now settled on a combination of Keracolor Clenditioner in mocha and Boldify hair fibers in dark brown. It seems to work well to give me the look I was searching for. Here is what I did...
Wash my hair as usual in the shower with my normal Biotin shampoo then rinse. Apply the Keracolor all over and let it sit while I finish showering. About 5 minutes or so. Rinse the Keracolor out. No need to condition, as it leaves my hair very silky and soft. At this point, my hair is a much warmer tone - almost a sandy blonde. But I still have the pink scalp showing through, so I sprinkle Boldify hair fibers in dark brown into my part and around my hair line at the forehead. I then set it with just a little bit of hairspray to keep the fibers in place. I’m not sure if that step is really necessary. I don’t think I will use the Keracolor every time I shampoo - maybe every other time? Just use it as often as you need to maintain the color you want to achieve. The more often you use it, the darker your hair will gradually become. The less you use it, the quicker your hair returns to its natural color. I am very self conscious about my thinning, graying hair but this has given me new confidence!
