Maria Nila Colour Refresh, 100 ml, Semi-Permanent Pigments, 100% Vegan & Sulfate/Paraben free

Never used this product before but will be repurchasing. Easy to use & ideal for refreshing colour. I have bleached balayage which I get toned copper at a hair salon. Anyone with copper/ red hair will know the struggle & expense of keeping it shiny & vibrant. I have only used the product once & my hair is back to a fiery copper, I can’t speak as to how long it will last but definitely a much cheaper & more convenient option than frequently visiting the salon for a colour tone. I love that there are other colours available if you want to mix shades together or experiment & that it is kind to your hair, cruelty free & vegan. It doesn’t colour grey but it doesn’t claim to.

I’m in the process of growing out bleached hair, my ends are quite damaged so they don’t hold dye at all, just washes out back to a brassy colour. The last hair dye I have tried turned my hair green as well. (Left photo is before the mask) I got this mask to test it out, and it’s amazing! The brassy hair colour is completely covered, my hair looks pretty much like my natural colour. So so happy! I left the mask on for 5 minutes as I wasn’t sure of the intensity but it seemed to have been the perfect amount of time anyway. Definitely recommend if you’re in the process of growing out your hair or want to cover bleached hair!

This is a lovely colour in the pot and gives a great colour to the hair, although it fades from a deep violet to more of a bluey-grey in a few washes, but it's good for a quick refresh for a special occasion. It is very thick and easy to apply without much mess and doesn't have to be left on for ages.

I feel like this is the product I've always been searching for! After having my hair done at a salon a month or so ago, the toner that was applied by my hairdresser had run its course in my hair. My hair is naturally brunette, but I do have a balayage through it. After a few months away from my hairdresser, the highlights were looking very warm and yellow. In times like these, I've always ran to the semi-perm hair dye to just cover the bits I don't like... which has always come out too dark! After hearing loads of good reviews about Maria Nila, I thought I'd research the Cacao colour depositing mask. I took the plunge and ordered and applied to towel dried hair and brushed through. I am delighted to find once dried that my highlights were a beautiful cool light brown tone. I did only leave the product on for about 4-5 mins as I was a bit worried. I will probably apply again one more time to get the colour I'm looking to achieve. But all in all I'm very happy, I've had a handful of people comment on how nice my hair looks, colour and shine! I've also told all my friends to purchase. Such a great product in between hair dresser appointments that doesn't cause damage!

I tried it but didn’t find it particularly useful, it’s very blocky colour with heavy red undertones so in the sunlight it has a clear ‘fake colour’ tint. Ended up throwing most of it out

I’d not heard of this brand and I’m so glad I found this. My hair is lightened to a level 12 at the hairdressers and can end up a bit yellow. I don’t like purple conditioners as they make my hair too icy. I want neutral blond not ice white/silver. I left this on for 10 mins and it’s deposited a lovely truly beige tone. I might even leave it a little longer next time. It’s lasted the first wash really well too. And a bonus it smells lovely and left my hair super soft!

Someone recommended the black to me as a dark grey dye if you mix it with conditioner. I’ve also really wanted a temporary black that fades to grey so I thought this would be it! I did a strand test of it alone over my pale silver hair, and a strand test of it mixed with conditioner. The undiluted strand test came out dark teal, like a blue green. The diluted strand test came out like a muted greyish blue, still very blue though! I was up for using it anyway, even if it wasn’t what I was looking for because it smells amazing (a bit too strongly scented but it is a really nice smell) just to use diluted, as undiluted came out so intensely blue/green which definitely wasn’t good. However…. It gave me a serious allergic reaction. The side I did the undiluted test on, my ear went bright red and hot and sore. So I made sure to wash very thoroughly. And then the next day my jaw on that side, neck and chest was covered in red itchy blotches and I felt a bit sick. Luckily this gradually went away towards the end of the next day after another thorough shower. But it scared me, and thank god I just did tests and didn’t use it all over my head. I’ve been dying my hair a LOT for years and years.. since I was around 9 years old to now at 29. I am a certified hair dye addict. I have gone every colour of the rainbow and used a huge amount of different brands and this is the first time I’ve ever had an allergic reaction to hair dye. So I have no idea what on earth is in this that did that, but it’s definitely reminded me to always be careful

I had bright bleached highlights done at the hairdressers this toner as made my hair a lovely creamy colour would recommend.
