Skip A Trip To The Salon With These Genius Color-Depositing Conditioners

The CHI Ionic Color Illuminate Conditioner gets top marks on Amazon for creating multiple options to better match your hair color with a formula that also improves your hair's health. Designed to preserve and balance your existing dye job, this conditioner can be used daily or weekly after your shampoo. While it works to deposit color in as little as one minute, if you want a more intense tone, you can let it sit in your hair for up to 20 minutes before thoroughly rinsing it out. To simultaneously care for your hair as it enhances color, CHI included hydrolyzed silk protein, olive fruit oil, and silk amino proteins in the formula to improve shine, restore moisture, and protect against breakage.

• Available colors: 11, including dark chocolate, lavender, and platinum blonde

Half the appeal of using a color-depositing conditioner at home is to save money, which is where this drugstore treatment comes in. Designed to be used in conjunction with its matching shampoo every time you wash your hair (whether that's every day or every three days), John Frieda's color-depositing conditioners help seal in color while giving it a boost. Each conditioner also includes different nourishing ingredients like vitamin E, sunflower seed extract, and pomegranate extract to leave hair smooth and shiny as it boosts color. While John Frieda has a range of color-enhancing conditioners for red, brunette, and blonde hair, there are only a handful of options that truly deposit color, so be sure to triple check you've got the right treatment before you hit "Add to Cart."

• Available colors: red, brunette, blonde

A reviewer wrote: "John Frieda Radiant Red Red Boosting Shampoo is one of the best products on the market for maintaining the red hair color. It works for all different shades of red by helping the color last longer. It also prevents colored hair from drying out."

If you're of the belief that you can never have too many hair color options, the Keracolor Color + Clenditioner comes in 18 different shades. Whether you choose a more natural red, mocha, or platinum conditioner, or you decide to go for a bolder mint or rose gold, the product works to infuse color into your hair with each application. Instead of a traditional conditioner that goes on post-shampoo, Keracolor designed this to work as an all-in-one conditioning cleanser that cleans and strengthens your hair as it deposits color. You can leave this on anywhere between three to 20 minutes depending on the intensity you're after, and the color will slowly wash out in 10 to 15 shampoos. Expect the most dramatic results if your hair is already a lighter shade — the brand notes that dark blonde or brunette hair tones might require multiple washes. It's also an Amazon reviewer-favorite, with nearly 22,000 five-star reviews.

• Available colors: 18, including light pink, honey, and silver blue

For high-shine color enhancement that works on both dyed and natural hair, check out the dpHUE's Gloss+ conditioner. The color and glossing treatment coats the outside of your strands to boost softness and manageability, and there's no risk of damaging your hair since the treatment is free of lightening agents like peroxide and ammonia. The line also gives you great customization options: You can combine two pigments for a customized color, but if you're worried about going too dark, you can dilute any color with their sheer formula for a more subtle hue. (You can even use the sheer on its own if you're just in the market for a glossing treatment.) Keep in mind that this formula is only designed to deepen and intensify shades — not lighten hair.

• Available colors: 11, including strawberry, black, and light brown

A reviewer wrote: "I lolololoooove this!! I use it once a week and it makes my hair so health and shiny. Definitely got the brassy color out of my hair [...] It definitely saves me from making trips to the hair salon! That means money saved too."

The best color-depositing shampoo is awarded to Celeb Luxury, which offers an impressively wide variety of color options. Their Gem Lites line features natural shades ranging from light blonde to amber to mahogany brown, while their Viral line (which has earned thousands of five-star reviews) boasts pastels and brights like coral, denim, and magenta. The ammonia- and sulfate-free shampoos offer results in two to three washes, and continual use will help keep color bright. You can also pick up a matching color-depositing shampoo, as well as a bonding shampoo to strengthen dyed hair.

• Available Gem Lites colors: 10, including citrine, ruby, and cognac
• Available Viral colors: 13, including rose gold, yellow, and teal
