Remember when I introduced you to our sponsor oVertone? It's the vegan and cruelty-free color-depositing conditioner that comes in six different colors. The ladies of the Empire were so stoked on this product that we forced oVertone to send us conditioners in all our various colors. As I tell you about this, my supply is running low and I'm about to order up another bottle with the special discount they're offering our readers.

Let's talk more about what happened when the ladies behind oVertone hooked up the ladies of the Empire with their awesome color-depositing conditioners…

I get my hair professionally colored, so my biggest concern was whether oVertone was gonna mess with the chemistry of my hair. I learned the hard way not to "touch up" my color with semi-permanent dyes, but my stylist thought the Vibrant Orange conditioner should be okay. oVertone made the biggest difference on the top of my hair, where the sun tends to bleach out my color fast. It kept me looking good until my next hair appointment, which went smoothly (though I did stop using it four days beforehand just to make sure it was mostly gone). My stylist was really impressed with how well the color held up.

I wish I had used Extreme Purple conditioner instead of Vibrant , because my shade of purple needed to be more wow-bam-in-your-face; that said, the conditioner definitely deposits colour, and Vibrant would work really well for anyone with a more subdued tone.
