Do Artec color depositing hair products actually work!?!?

Question

My hair is naturally light brown, but recently i tried to dye it dark brown but it turned out kind of a reddish brown color, i hate the red soo much, so i thought i would try a color depositing shampoo, like artec cocoa bean, i just want somebody that has used it to tell me if it works and if it does how long does it take to work, and although it deposits color does it also leave your hair feeling silky??

Answer 1

Yes, color depositing shampoos actually do work. They will help to tone down unwanted tones or to intensify other tonal values. I am not happy with the surfactants in the Artec brand of colored shampoos. I just don't find them to be very effective at cleansing. I would advise cleansing your hair with another shampoo first and then using the Artec shampoo. There are other lines of coloring shampoos that I prefer. Sexy Hair Concepts makes a great line as well as Paul Mitchell. I find the surfactants to be more effective

Answer 2

My stylist recommends them, or Goldwell's product. I use Artec, however, I think that they are more to maintain color, not change color. I am almost completely grey, so my color fades pretty quickly. I find that they can leave hair dry, so I mix mine with their Kiwi sampoo. (it's the same company), and I do not use the coloring shampo daily, only once or twice a week. Then I use the Kiwi conditioner daily.
Good luck, though, because red is usually hard to cover without permanant color. ASk your stylist what they recommend you do.
