This stuff BARELY tinged my hair the desired color.

I purchased copper. I have "dishwater blonde" hair (aka medium-lightish brown) that kind of has a silvery sheen and I wanted to make it more brown with a reddish tint. I first did a 50/50 mix of this conditioner and my conditioner (like the instructions say you can) and left it on for 10 minutes and saw no results. I then did 100% Keracolor conditioner and left it in for 10 minutes and STILL saw no results. Then, finally, I left the conditioner in for 30 minutes and saw barely noticeable results. The only thing I really can tell is that when light hits my hair, it has a reddish sheen, but that's really it - overall, its the same color. I'll probably use this once a week and leave it in for 30 minutes to maintain the color, but I have no plans to buy it again. I have a feeling this stuff works better on pre-treated hair (as you you've had it actually dyed or bleached), which makes the hair more porous so it absorbs the color better. I have "virgin" hair, so I feel like that has to due with my lack of results. On the positive side, after leaving this stuff in my hair for so long, it looks and feels great! its definitely a good conditioner. Lastly, I have dandruff so I find myself scratching my head a bit, unfortunately. This has resulted in the tips of my fingernails being dyed copper. It doesn't wash out, either.
