Overview
CHI made Color Illuminate to deposit color while it conditions, here in Mahogany Red for refreshing red tones between salon visits. Silk Amino Complex carries pigment into the cuticle and adds moisture in the same step.
Topping up faded red at home stretches the time between color appointments. Results depend on starting shade and timing, and the listed sizes do not match.
Who it's for
Natural or color-treated red and mahogany hair that loses vibrancy. People with very light hair should strand test, as the pigment may show stronger than expected.
Pros and cons
- Refreshes red between appointments
- Conditions while depositing color
- Intensity adjusts with time and heat
- Sulfate and paraben free
- Results vary with starting color
- Sizes listed inconsistently
- Not a color change product
Performance notes
Pigment deposits on the hair surface as it conditions, so longer contact and gentle heat deepen the tone. Silk amino acids help the color and moisture absorb, and rinsing ends the deposit.
