5 Color-Depositing Conditioners to Try (While We're STILL Stuck At Home)

Kaia Gerber knows it. So does Taylor Swift: There may never be a lower-stakes time to DIY pink, peach, or blue hair color than now. With work-from-home mandates still largely in play, trying temporary, wash-away hair color is an easy way to breathe new life into your look (and break up the monotony of pandemic life, too).

But even if pastel or rainbow-bright hair isn't your thing, reaching for color-depositing shampoos, conditioners and masks can also go a long way in boosting the depth of more natural hair colors (and okay, fine... in covering roots, too). That's why we're turning to foolproof color-depositing hair products to do the heavy lifting as we continue to navigate the space between regular salon appointments and whatever this is. (Because let's face it: as salons open and close under state mandates, and as another wave of COVID cases is expected in the upcoming months, getting a professional appointment has never been so up in the air.)

Ahead, find the best way to wash, condition and mask your way to a temporary color job at home without damaging hair health, all while gleaning pro tips from colorist and R+Co collective member, Richy Kandasamy.
