Watercolors Intense Metallic Silver Color-Depositing Shampoo 8 fl oz (2 Count) — Sulfate & Paraben Free, Conditioning Tone-Refresh

Watercolors INTENSE METALLIC Silver is a color-depositing shampoo that cleanses, conditions and refreshes silver tones in a single wash without sulfates or parabens.

This semi-permanent, color-depositing shampoo is formulated to restore or intensify metallic silver tones on natural or pre-lightened hair while providing conditioning benefits. The shampoo uses cationic conditioners and concentrated direct dyes to deliver bold pigment while living in a hair-friendly pH range, making it a convenient between-salon product for maintaining cool, reflective silver shades.

How does Watercolors Silver refresh fading color?

The formula deposits direct dye pigments during the wash to replace faded tone and boost shine. It works on natural level 7 and lighter hair, updating cool or metallic silver hues without the commitment of permanent dye.

• 3-in-1 action: cleanses, conditions and deposits color in one step
• Designed for level 7+ hair or pre-lightened bases
• pH 5.3–5.8 to help color adherence and hair cuticle smoothness
• Leave-on time (2–15 minutes) customizes intensity

Will this shampoo damage my hair or strip previous color?

Watercolors INTENSE METALLIC Silver is free of sulfates, parabens, peroxide, salt, PPD and PTD, so it won’t aggressively strip hair like harsh surfactants or oxidizers. Instead, it refreshes tone while imparting conditioning agents to minimize dryness and maintain manageability.

• No sulfates or peroxide — gentler on color-treated hair
• Cationic conditioners help reduce friction and frizz
• Cruelty-free and made in the USA with responsible ingredients

How do I control intensity and how often should I use it?

Timing determines the depth of deposit: a quick rinse yields a subtle refresh, while 10–15 minutes produces a much stronger metallic effect. Frequency depends on your maintenance goals — use it as needed between color appointments or weekly for consistently vibrant silver.

• Rinse immediately for a light tone boost
• 2–5 minutes for moderate intensity
• 10–15 minutes for maximum color payoff
• Suitable for daily use or occasional touch-ups

How should I apply and which results can I expect?

Apply to wet hair, work into a lather, and leave for the desired time before rinsing. Expect refreshed, metallic silver tones with increased shine and softness, especially on pre-lightened or naturally pale hair; results vary with base color and porosity.

• Apply evenly on wet hair and emulsify to activate dye delivery
• Comb through to ensure uniform coverage on longer hair
• Rinse thoroughly if you want a softer effect
• Repeat as necessary to maintain tone between salon visits

Who is this for: Watercolors INTENSE METALLIC Silver is ideal for people with pre-lightened or naturally pale hair who want to maintain or intensify cool, metallic silver tones without permanent dye. It suits color-conscious users seeking a gentle, cruelty-free maintenance product that conditions while depositing pigment. Salon professionals and DIY stylists can use it to refresh silver shades, control brassiness, or add reflective highlights between full color services.
