Birchbox Breakdown

Sure, your hair color never looks quite as good as it does right when you leave the salon, but that doesn’t mean you should resign yourself to fading highlights and a lackluster hue. The entire Chroma line was designed to keep your shade intact, but the most critical component is Chroma Sensitive, a nourishing cleansing balm that is part conditioner, part cleanser. Gentle and low-foaming, this formula locks in color for healthier, brighter hair over time.

How it Works

Formulated to be non-stripping and highly nourishing, the product makeup is one-quarter gentle cleanser and three-quarters antioxidant-rich Vitamin E conditioning base. This potent mixture minimizes the friction on the hair fiber, and promotes color’s durability and radiance.

How to Use

For the first three times you wash your hair after getting it colored, forgo the normal shampoo and conditioner routine and instead opt for this nice two-in-one cleansing balm. Squeeze three to seven pumps (depending on length of hair) into your palms, massage into wet hair, let sit for two to three minutes, and then rinse thoroughly. After your third wash, you can start alternating it with your Bain Chroma Riche shampoo and Masque Chroma Riche conditioning treatment.

The Best. Period.

I had never tried anything like this product before, but I'm so glad I did! I used it instead of my usual shampoo/conditioner routine, and my thick, curly hair really thanked me for it! My hair was lighter, bouncier and altogether easier to manage. It is on the expensive side, but it's worth it.

not great

the fragrance on this one smells kind of chemically to me and I don't care for that. It seemed to leave my hair greasy... I thought maybe I didn't rinse well enough but on a 2nd use I had the same result. not my favorite

pleasantly surprised

This product surprised me. I used it for the first time after getting highlights. The second I put it in my hair, I resigned myself to a ponytail day. It is very emollient and has virtually no lather. I have fine hair, so I was assuming that it was going to be greasy and over conditioned. I used conditioner on my ends like normal because my hair has been super dry. I've used it three days in a row now, and every time I get shiny hair with volume. I'm not sure how well it is keeping my color, but it feels luxurious. I don't think I will buy the full size because of the price. I also don't like the strong rose smell, but it doesn't seem to linger after my hair is dry.

Not Very Useful

The product smells fantastic and does leave what hair it happens to clean quite. The problem is, it cleans very little of your hair, is impossible to rinse out, and the conditioner part seems to add to any buildup left from dry shampoo or styling product used while I was unable to wash my hair in the days following a coloring appointment. Disappointing, since I put great trust in this brand.

Lovely

This product keeps your hair super soft through several washes as well as keeping your color looking fresh. Great product.

Perfect

This "shampoo" is perfect for my color treated hair. I try not to use shampoo often, so this no sulfate, low-foaming cleansing balm is exactly what I need when it is time for a wash.

Nothing Special

I didn't think this was really a great shampoo. Its smell was mediocre and its performance about on the same par. I won't buy this one; really not impressed.

kind of heavy

I felt that this product weighed down my hair and was not easy to rinse out. I like that its purpose was to protect my highlights and it did provide some shine to them!

Smells great

Made my hair shine and smells great! My color lasted longer than normal and didn't seem stripped out after a few washes. A little pricy.
