Gem Lites Semi Permanent Colourwash Shampoo Red - Fire Opal 240ml

Absolutely love this! I was very sceptical at first, but it’s done exactly what it says on the bottle. Couldn’t be happier will definitely buy again

Fantastic!!! So easy to use just like regular shampoo but really improves colour and the more you use the deeper the colour

Good for colour refresh,can leave hair dry

As the bond fix ! Get bond fix if you want a bright glow

Too scared to use this as I was surprised to see how neutral-toned the product looked. Now I have read the many reviews stating the same and that this shampoo actually removed the copper tone from their hair. This looks much more like the ‘Amber’ colour and I believe it has been falsely advertised or mislabelled as ‘Fire Opal’. The bottle also states ‘DO NOT USE ON BLEACHED OR HIGHLIGHTED HAIR’ but the Amazon description literally says it is for bleached, highlighted and lightened hair… Amazon will not offer a refund as the product is non-returnable. Surely an incorrectly described product trumps the refund policy. Waste of money.

Not so good as I expect

A great colour depositing shampoo, lathers well and keeps my hair looking better for longer. Anyone that’s dyed their hair copper before will know how quickly it fades, this shampoo helps to slow down the fade. My hair feels clean and soft after use and it smells great too!

I was slightly dismayed to see the product packaging suggests using an additional product “bonditioner” prior to use. Rather than buy extra products I used my normal conditioner prior to using the colourwash and this seemed to work well. The faded colour has improved.

Genial para mantener el color deseado en las mechas, en este caso un bonito cobrizo. Negativo: no tiñe canas.

I was very nervous to try this. I bought it after looking at YouTube videos for a colour wash shampoo for red/auburn hair. I couldn’t find any videos for Fire Opal - only for Ruby Red, which is WAY more red than what I wanted. I also read reviews from people saying the colour was more brown - so I wasn’t sure what colour I’d wind up with. When I opened the bottle - it looked REALLY REALLY brown!! Not at all an auburn - I even rubbed some into my skin to see if any reds showed through - but it just looked brown. So now I was scared. Long story short - my hair was looking SO faded from my last dye job, I decided even brown was better than how it looked - so I washed my hair with the Gem wash and let it sit about 5-7 minutes. I used quite a bit to get all my hair covered & clipped it up. Warning: The suds turn a nasty brownish colour - so don’t panic when you look at your hands in the shower! Also make sure to get along your hairline really well. And get it even over your roots to tips. I decided to post a picture in case you are looking for a reddish auburn colour like I was. This stuff really works great! My hair turned out a rich, beautiful colour pretty close to the model in the listing. I’ll keep using this in between colourings - now that we are all at home doing our own hair with the pandemic - I’m super pleased & relieved I found this.

It cost me ten times more than the Chinese products, yet it was not even as good as the Chinese product. My hair was 15% grey, but after using it twice, I noticed that 50% of my hair had turned white. This is very disappointing and seems like a fraud.

Great product, the best I have tried from colouring shampoos for brunettes. Gives a nice cold tone.
