Tressa Watercolors Shampoo - Hazelnut 8.5 oz

This is a great color depositing shampoo. Most brunette color shampoos do very little except to highlight your gray/white hairs with garish shades of red or pink when you actually wanted to tone them down.Well not so with Tressa Hazelnut - it really is a NATURAL cool light brown. I do not have alot of the offending grays yet (less than 5%) but every single one of them is unwelcome and this shampoo is very effective at covering them up. I use this every second wash, concentrating on the hairline and part and it's almost impossible to detect any grays now. It is a good shampoo - doesn't come off on towels, feel waxy or weigh my hair down. Brilliant product!PS: Paint this on with a brush and leave it to soak for an hour for a gray concealing kickstart.

This darkening shampoo works great, a pretty color, and has a pleasant smell to it. Great to use between salon appointments or to temporarily change up lighter colored hair.

I read several reviews before I purchased this color that said that the person’s hair took on a green hue. I have brown hair with lighter highlights to help hide my gray. I’ve used other of their colors and they worked well, but this color shampoo actually made my hair have a dullish green hue. Luckily it washed out.

A great solution for anybody who wants to break up with henna! Four years ago I wanted to transition my hair away from henna, which if you didn’t know is 100% permanent and can only be colored over or cut off. This shampoo allowed me to tone down the red and blend it with my lighter roots while they grew out without risking adverse effects of mixing henna and conventional dye. Once I had a couple of inches of henna-free roots, I cut my hair to a pixie cut and was thus able to return to my natural color. Attached is a side-by- side, you can see a peek of a warm streak in the toned-down hair and how my “virgin” roots fade slightly to the deeper hennaed sections. These results were achieved with frequent use.Apparently I didn’t learn my lesson, as in the present I am ordering this again to transition away from henna again (and hopefully for the last time) because it worked so well last time!

I've never had a problem with Tressa Watercolors shampoo, until now! It turned my hair green!! Very disappointed!

I got a bad highlight job from a hairdresser I had never been to before. It left me with really copper/red/orange hair. It's funny, b/c the highlights were initially ashy white but much lighter than I wanted. Her correction was to "warm it up", leaving me with orange/copper hair which looks horrible on my skin tone.First, I tried the new(ish) John Frieda color glosses that are designed to refresh colored hair between colorings. I used one for cool blonds and one for cool brunettes and mixed them together. I used them after shampooing and conditioning. I know they're supposed to build up color over time, but after one application I saw zero difference. I was getting impatient and wasn't convinced that these glosses would build enough color to correct my warmth any time soon, so I tracked down my old hairstylist.My old hairdresser (who I LOVE) was able to correct the problem partially with a no-amonia glaze but she was reluctant to do very much processing b/c my hair was so damaged from the over processed highlights. The red/orange/copper was reduced, but still very visible in certain light (mainly sunlight and bright incandescent).Now, to the point of this review. I purchased Tressa Watercolors Shampoo in Hazelnut b/c it's got a green base that's supposed to cancel out red/copper tones. I was skeptical, as not even a professional glaze was able to neutralize all of the heat in my hair. But I figured it couldn't hurt much either. First, I did a strand test to make sure it wouldn't make my hair green or something. It didn't, so I lathered and rinsed twice in a row. I added gobs of Wen re-moist conditioner to the lathered hair with the shampoo still in it b/c my hair was too dry and it felt horrible otherwise. I don't know if that affected the results, but I saw someone blog about using Tressa Watercolors mixed with regular Wen Cleansing Conditioner and it worked for her, so I gave it a shot. I then rinsed and conditioned my hair as normal, then blew it out with a pump of Wen and some pure Jojoba oil.The heat is almost all gone. There is still a little warmth (which actually looks kind of nice at this point) especially in brighter light. But, for the most part, I would say my color is 90%-95% corrected. Granted, I have tried a few different processes to correct the color so I can't attribute all of the correction to the shampoo. I would say the John Frieda Gloss (that I only used once and is not designed for this kind of hair catastrophe) corrected the warmth by 0%. The professional glaze corrected it by maybe 50% - a noticeable improvement but far from perfect. The Tressa Watercolors corrected it the rest of the way.I normally use Wen Cleansing Conditioner which doesn't strip moisture or color from hair, so I plan on using Tressa Watercolors in Hazelnut again only if I feel I want to tone out the rest of the warmth completely or if it looks like color deposits from this first treatment are fading.I've seen a lot of reviews for how well the red colors in this shampoo line work to deposit or correct color, but not very many for correcting warmth with a brown shade like Hazelnut. I hope my experience can help anyone like me who wants an inexpensive way to tone out red and copper colors in their hair with an at-home, deposit only, no ammonia solution.Obviously, do a patch and strand test before shampooing your whole head. Your mileage may vary.

I had my blonde hair professionally dyed back to my natural color, medium ash brown, 2 months after giving birth. I had grown it out as much as I could stand, which was 3 months worth. My colorist only had to put dye on the blonde part and it stayed pretty true. It's been 6 months and I didn't want anymore permanent hair color so I bought this shampoo to enrich the existing brown until all of the previously dyed hair has grown out. The shampoo is very moisturizing by itself. Since my hair is naturally on the oily side I barely need conditioner, even on the ends. All in all is does what is says, I will probably buy a darker shade of brown next time and I have had to use it the past 3 days, consecutively, to start to notice it working. But I would recommend it for someone who has gone from blonde to brown, as I have. Also, it does not stain my hands, nails, skin or shower. Thank goodness!
