## Description

Tressa Watercolors Color Maintenance Mocha Drench Shampoo 8.5 oz

Review: I LOVE this shampoo! I was introduced to it by a professional who initially dyed my hair silver as a way to keep the color longer. Once it was gone, l tried other brands which dried my hair out into a rats nest almost as soon as it was applied. I even tried another brand from here on desertcart, but that didn’t work as well and let my hair feeling greasy....bleach.... While this formulation does seem to be a bit more on the watery side than l am used to, it works. My hair doesn’t dry out with use, the now natural gray/platinum is looking good and l am very happy with the larger size bottle. I only wish that that someone would also sell the Watercolors conditioner.
Review: Had my hair dyed with Barbie-type pink and it faded quicker than I would’ve liked. Didn’t want to spend more money touching it up or buying more product to do it at home so I got this instead! It’s definitely not like a Barbie kind of pink but it is super bold and I actually like it a lot more! It is best on pre-treated (bleached/lightened) hair but the lighter hair gals out there shouldn’t have a problem getting some color on there either. The first photo was after one wash with the pink watercolor shampoo, the next photo was the third time I used it in a span of two days (once the first time, twice the second time). DONT wear a white shirt the day after washing it with the pink shampoo, it’ll run off if your hair is down. And yes, WEAR GLOVES. I read the reviews before buying, didn’t wear gloves because I figured I’d prefer to make the mistake myself. They were right. My nails and fingers were pink for 3 days. Only do this in your bathtub, the pink can stain your counters. I use Dawn Powerwash to get the pink stains off the tub. Works like a charm👍🏼

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have naturally dark brown hair, color it a dark copper, which color should I use in this line ?**
A: I found Tressa color deposit shampoo to be the Best Brand & color is natural & Vibrant. I use It's A 10 leave in spray conditioner after....Liquid Copper is a perfect rich bibrant color

**Q: does tessa water color shampoo in liquid copper work well on strawberry blonds?**
A: I am a brunette with kind of ombré golden highlights. If I want something different and fun I'll use the liquid copper and it really adds red within even one use. My advice: use once in shower, leave in 5 min and rinse. If you want it more vibrant it will build after a few times. Very good color deposit.

**Q: Do you need to use a conditioner with this shampoo, or will that wash out the color?**
A: I usually wash my hair with my preferred  regular shampoo then I will use this and let it set for a couple of minutes. I rinse it out then use my conditioner. I use the liquid copper color and can maintain a vibrant color in between salon visits. Everyone is amazed that it's not my natural color because it works so well.

**Q: i know hair dyes are generally damaging to hair. is this product damaging to hair?**
A: This is not a dye. 
It is a shampoo that deposits color and will wash out with regular shampoo in 2 to 3 washings.

It is absolutely not dry and damaging to hair.

Let me state very clearly that if your hair is already dry and damaged that you need to deep condition on a regular basis to get your hair back to being healthy.
