Watercolors Color Depositing Shampoo — Wet Brick 8 fl oz, warm red-brick tint & conditioning formula

This shampoo blends cleansing agents with direct-deposit dyes and conditioning polymers to refresh color while leaving hair soft and glossy. Formulated to live in an acid-balanced pH range, it lays down pigment without peroxide or harsh sulfates, making it a practical choice for fashion shades on pre-lightened or naturally lighter hair. Use it as part of a routine to maintain tone, boost vibrancy, or add a temporary tint for special occasions.

How quickly will Wet Brick show visible color?

Results are immediate and build with repeated use: you’ll see a subtle tint after a single short rinse and a stronger, more saturated Wet Brick tone when left on longer or used multiple washes. Color payoff depends on your starting base—lighter hair accepts brighter, truer tones while darker hair shows a more muted effect.

• Short rinse (immediate): subtle warm-brick hint
• 2–5 minutes: noticeable refresh without heavy deposit
• 10–15 minutes: amplified, vibrant Wet Brick tone
• Repeated use: deeper cumulative saturation

Will this shampoo damage or dry my hair?

Watercolors Wet Brick is designed to minimize damage by combining color-direct dyes with cationic conditioning agents, so it cleanses while adding slip and shine. The formula omits peroxide, sulfates, parabens, salt, PPD and PTD, and is cruelty-free, reducing exposure to common harsh ingredients that strip or weaken hair.

• No peroxide or sulfates to aggressively lift or strip hair
• Cationic conditioners deliver moisture and manageability
• pH-balanced (around 5.3–5.8) to help smooth the cuticle
• Suitable for regular use to refresh color without chemical lifting

How do I use it for best results at home?

Apply Wet Brick to wet hair, lather, and leave it in for the desired time to control intensity. Rinse according to how bold you want the shade: brief rinses for subtlety, longer processing for deeper pigment. It works well on level 7 (light blonde) and lighter, and on pre-lightened hair for the most accurate Wet Brick tone.

• Shampoo normally to distribute pigment evenly
• 2–5 minute leave: light refresh; 10–15 minute leave: stronger color
• Use alone or alternate with regular sulfate-free shampoo
• Can be used daily or as-needed between professional color appointments

How long does the deposited color last?

The Wet Brick tint is temporary and will gradually fade with subsequent washes, exposure to sun, and styling. Frequency of shampooing, water temperature, and porosity of your hair influence longevity; planning touch-ups every few washes keeps the tone lively without long-term commitment.

• Temporary direct-dye deposit fades with regular washing
• Cooler water and gentler shampoos slow color fade
• High porosity hair may absorb more pigment but release it faster
• Use regularly to maintain consistent Wet Brick intensity

Who is this for: Watercolors Wet Brick is aimed at anyone wanting a convenient, low-commitment way to refresh warm red-brick tones—especially those with pre-lightened or naturally light hair who want salon-fresh color between appointments. It’s also useful for trend-driven looks, temporary tone changes for events, or maintaining vibrant fashion shades without peroxide or long processing times.
