Review: Echosline Colour depositing mask for ginger hair in Fire Opal

Those of you redheads out there well know how hard it is to watch your beautiful and hard achieved  colour go down the drain every time you wash your hair.

Since I've embraced the red, or better, the ginger side, I've tried tons of products to make my colour last as long as possible in between dyes. Here in Italy, where I live, the choice is little, in fact there are fewer depositing colour products for red hair (or for other colours too for that matter XD) than in Country like the UK or US and the biggest part of them or is too expensive or it's not effective.

But recently I've stumbled upon a product that has become a holy grail for me when it comes to make my ginger colour more vibrant and long lasting: I'm talking about the colour depositing mask'Color-up' by  Echosline, an Italian brand specialised in professional hairdressing products.

What I love about this, is its very easy and foolproof application, in fact the consistency of this mask it's a perfect match between liquid and dense, so when you're going to put it on your hair it's very hard to make mistakes or to miss a spot.

The smell is amazing (like raspberries),but it might be too strong, so if you don't like fragrances stay away from it, even though the smell in your hair won't be so intense once you've dried it.

I apply this mask every time I wash my hair, because I like having an intense result, but you can totally use  it just when you feel like your colour is starting to fade away.

How to use it: after you've washed your hair, towel dry it (I recommend to use an old cotton tee for this, because  it's more gentle with your hair than a towel, just wrap the tee around your head and leave it on for a couple of minutes so it will absorb the excess of water), then apply the mask,  if you want you can help yourself  using a wide tooth comb to distribute the product all over your hair , from roots to ends. 

Then you want to leave it on from 3 to 20 minutes, depending on the intensity of colour that you want, after this, thoughtfully rinse the mask off your hair till you can't see lather anymore. Blow dry or leave them air dry and you've done! It's also a  good  conditioning mask: your colour will be renewed and your hair will be soft ans smooth, things that don't happen with other similar products. It's a win-win situation here, isn't it?

Be careful because the mask stains your hands and your chlotes so be sure to use gloves and on old towel and to wear an old T-shirt as well.

This mask is a pretty sweet deal between results and price (the price is around 6 to 17 €, depending on where you buy it, you can find it even for more than that, but in that case I won't recommend buying it) and even if you're not in Italy you can easily find this it on Ebay.
