Watercolors Intense Color Depositing Shampoo — Blue 8.5 oz | Semi‑Permanent 3‑in‑1 Cleanse & Condition

Watercolors Intense Color Depositing Shampoo in Blue is a semi-permanent 3-in-1 formula that cleanses, conditions and refreshes bright blue tones in one easy wash.

This salon-grade shampoo deposits vivid blue pigments while gently cleansing and conditioning hair, designed for natural level 7 and pre-lightened hair. Formulated to live in an acidic pH range, the product uses cationic conditioners to help direct dyes adhere for a rich, glossy finish without sulfates, parabens, peroxide, salt, PPD or PTD. Use it between salon visits to revive fading fashion colors or to add temporary creative hues to maintained lightened hair.

How quickly will I see blue color results?

Color payoff depends on hair porosity and starting lightness. On pre-lightened or level 7 hair you'll notice an immediate blue tint after one wash; darker hair may show tinting only on porous or previously lightened areas.

• Leave on 2–5 minutes for a subtle tone
• 10–15 minutes for stronger, more vibrant color
• Rinse immediately for a faint refresh
• Repeat washes to build intensity gradually

Will this shampoo damage my hair or interfere with treatments?

The Watercolors formula is free of peroxide, sulfates, parabens, salt, PPD and PTD, and is cruelty-free, reducing common chemical stressors. It was created to deposit color while conditioning, so it acts as a color-refreshing cleanser rather than a harsh chemical dye.

• Cleanses and conditions in one step for minimized manipulation
• Cationic conditioning agents help smooth cuticles and lock pigment
• No peroxide or harsh oxidizers that lift natural pigment
• Safe for routine use to refresh style between salon appointments

How should I apply it for best, most consistent results?

Apply to damp, freshly rinsed hair, working from roots to ends. Distribute evenly, comb through if needed, and time according to desired intensity; then rinse thoroughly. For targeted color, apply to specific sections or use gloves and a brush to avoid staining the scalp or hands.

• Use on towel-dried hair for even deposit
• Comb through to ensure full coverage on longer hair
• Adjust leave-in time to control vibrancy
• Use gloves and protect surfaces to prevent staining

How long will the blue last and how do I maintain it?

Semi-permanent results fade gradually with each shampoo and sun exposure; longevity depends on water hardness, products used, and styling frequency. To preserve the shade, wash with cool water, limit clarifying shampoos, and top up with the color-depositing shampoo as needed.

• Expect gradual fading over multiple washes
• Cool water and gentle cleansers extend wear
• Use weekly or as-needed touch-ups to refresh tone
• Store away from direct heat and sunlight to protect pigment

Who is this for: Watercolors Intense Color Depositing Shampoo in Blue is ideal for people with pre-lightened or naturally light hair who want an easy, non-permanent way to refresh or experiment with bold blue color. It also suits color-maintenance routines for salon clients who need a conditioning color boost between appointments, and for anyone seeking a cruelty-free, sulfate- and peroxide-free option to add temporary fashion tones without long-term commitment.
