Moroccanoil Color Deposit Mask Cocoa 30ml

Introduction:
Seeking to refresh my hair color and add vibrant tones, I decided to try the Moroccanoil Color Depositing Mask in the shade Cocoa. With the promise of a temporary coloring solution and nourishing benefits, I had high expectations for this product. However, my experience with the color payoff left me feeling disappointed.

Pros:

Nourishing and Softening: The mask left my hair feeling soft and nourished, providing a healthy-looking finish.
Easy Application: The mask comes in a convenient sachet packaging, making it easy to apply and distribute through the hair.
Cons:

Subtle Color Result: Despite following the instructions and leaving the mask on for the recommended time, the color payoff was minimal. The Cocoa shade did not create the rich, vibrant tones I was hoping for, and the effect lasted for only a few shampoos.
Small Quantity: The sachet contains a very small amount of product, which may be insufficient for those with medium to long hair. I found myself needing to purchase multiple sachets to achieve adequate coverage.
Conclusion:
While the Moroccanoil Color Depositing Mask offers the benefit of nourishing and softening the hair, the color payoff was disappointing. The Cocoa shade did not deliver the vibrant color I desired, and the effect faded quickly. Additionally, the small quantity of product in the sachet may not be enough for those with longer or thicker hair. Considering the price and lack of desired results, I would explore alternative options for achieving vibrant hair color.

I wanted to share my experience for anyone who was as undecided as I was when I was searching for color glosses and color conditioners. I did a lot of looking at products and reviews and ended up choosing to to try: DPHUE and this Moroccanoil color conditioner.

DPHUE was the winner hands down. Even though it says it does not cover gray, I was delighted to find that it DID actually sort of partly stain my very stubborn wiry gray so that it looks a little bit more like highlights.It darkened my very faded light brown hair (that had a little too much red) in a nice rich way. Just a deepening and enriching. But the best part is how shiny and glossy it made my hair. Almost nothing that promises shine and gloss actually works on my hair. I have very fine, very dry, NOT shiny hair—alas. It always looks a bit fuzzy and the only thing that really usually gives it shine is LOTS of oil. I was amazed to find that this product actually did give my hair a little bit of sheen and a really nice soft shiny glossy feeling. I actually kept running my fingers through my hair. And it lasted a really long time (I don’t shampoo every day because my hair is so dry, and after a week it still had that slightly thicker, glossy feeling! I am a believer in this product. And I am so picky about hair products.

This Moroccan oil conditioner was a darker brown than the light brown DPHUE and it did stain my hands, where the DPHUE did not. The Moroccanoil did darken my hair but it did not even touch the gray. (I know it says it wont, but so does DPHUE and it did stain the grey) Moreover, I was disappointed that it did not give my hair that shiny glossy smooth feeling at all. I’m glad I just bought a sample pack of this one.

My hair: damaged, coarse and bleached. I recently had my hair colored red after being a blonde since 2018. Since I moved to my new home last year, I noticed my hair was feeling harder and looking darker after just one or 2 washes after redoing my hair. I realized my water was the problem so I installed a new filter for my shower head. But my hair was too damaged so I decided to go red and give bleaching my hair a break. But we had to bleach the top, which had been a shadow root to even the entire red color all over my head. But wow that last time of bleaching left my hair soooo damaged and brittle. I’ve never experienced so much breakage. I had been using Olaplex for a few years so my hair was healthy before moving to my new home. So that’s the hair I started with before using this product—hard, brittle, breaking off easily, stiff and rough to the touch and extremely porous. In other words—terrible! My red hair washed out ridiculously fast!

This product: after reading many reviews here and watching many YouTube videos, I decided to give this a try. I didn’t want to color my hair again since it’s only been a month since I went red. First, I can’t really afford that and second, I don’t want any more damage. After seeing the copper on most, it was way too much orange for my liking. I wanted a true copper/auburn, not orange. So I mixed (as someone here suggested) 2 copper packs with 1 cocoa color pack. I was so scared to see what would turn out. I mixed them very well in a bowl. I then even distributed it through my hair, piece by piece and combed it through . I left it on for about 10 minutes altogether. And woah! I was blown away by how soft and bouncy my hair felt after all the damaged I had recently experienced. I couldn’t believe it, but not only that, the color looks amazing! I have received so many compliments!! This color combo looks incredible! It’s exactly the color I was going for without the added damage. I haven’t washed it yet so I willl have to update with that information. I plan on purchasing the larger bottles since I absolutely plan on using this long term. What a great way for me to keep my color without causing damage to my hair. I’m so excited I found this and a thank you to the person who suggested mixing these two colors. It works like a charm!! I can’t recommend this enough. 👍🏼👍🏼
