Most hair glosses, masks and toners use semi-permanent dye deposits, so they are a good choice if you’re mulling over going red with a permanent dye but are not quite sure. You can also mix and match shades, when available. Here are some examples:

• Garnier Nutrisse Color Reviver hair mask in Vibrant Red or Vibrant Copper
• Morrocanoil Color Depositing Mask in Bordeaux
• Overtone Extreme Red Coloring Conditioner
• Davine’s Alchemic Conditioner in Red
• dP Gloss +Semi-Permanent Hair Color and Deep Conditioner in Strawberry

Quote: Red hair toners are hair masks you can use at home instead of visiting the salon. So yeah, let’s save some money.
