How To Prevent Your Hair Color From Fading Using Briogeo’s 3-step ‘Color Me Brilliant’ System

When it comes to haircare, it’s hard to stay in a long-term, committed relationship with the same shampoo and same conditioner! I have noticed that products I use on my hair tend to become gradually less effective over time. Of course, my hair is always changing and constantly put thru the wringer. Think recurrent coloring, balayage highlighting, consistent use of heating tools like blow dryers, flat irons and curling wands. The problem is made a lot worse with sun exposure and use of ocean and pool water. One of my biggest struggles has been protecting my hair color, reducing fade, maintaining vibrancy and shine. My bathroom is permanently stocked with hair conditioners and masks and I do enjoy regular salon treatments. But there is nothing better than finding reliable haircare products that protect, prevent and maintain your color in between salon appointments.

The new collection from Briogeo, fittingly called Color Me Brilliant, does exactly that and more! There are 3 products in the range: a shampoo, conditioner and a color protecting primer. All highlighting a unique blend of mushroom, bamboo and hydrating oils aiming to combat color fade. I’ll give you the 411 on each one of these products.

Here is How To Prevent Color Fade Using Briogeo’s Color Me Brilliant System …

What is the Briogeo Color Me Brilliant system?

The latest Briogeo Color Me Brilliant is a 3-step system scientifically proven to reduce color fade for up to 10 washes. It has a natural, clean formula using a unique combination of mushroom, bamboo leaf, radish root and pomegranate, hydrating oils and anti-oxidants. The 3-step process includes the use of a shampoo, conditioner and primer. All have a beautiful, soft grayish lavender color and soothing scent.

Who should use the Briogeo Color Me Brilliant system?

Anyone with dyed or color treated hair looking to repair, protect and prevent the color from fading.

Step 1 – Briogeo Color Me Brilliant Mushroom + Bamboo Color Protect Shampoo

The Briogeo Color Me Brilliant Mushroom + Bamboo Color Protect Shampoo is the first step of the process. Simply apply to wet hair and massage from root to tip, then rinse. The bottle comes with a pump, which I find extremely convenient and easy to use. I have medium-length hair and find that 2 pumps are enough to cover my entire head. The shampoo has a light, milky texture that lathers up nicely and is easy to distribute throughout. It rinses off effortlessly, leaving my hair feeling clean and soft.

Step 2 – Briogeo Color Me Brilliant Mushroom + Bamboo Color Protect Conditioner

Step 2 comes after shampooing and showcases the Briogeo Color Me Brilliant Mushroom + Bamboo Color Protect Conditioner. I use 1 pump and concentrate it on the hair from below my ears all the way to the ends. I distribute the conditioner evenly and comb it out. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes before rinsing it off. The conditioner has a whipped consistency, a bit thicker than the shampoo, but that glides over the hair just as easily.

Step 3 – Briogeo Color Me Brilliant Mushroom + Bamboo Color Protect Primer

The Briogeo Color Me Brilliant Mushroom + Bamboo Color Protect Primer is a leave-in treatment you apply after shampooing and conditioning, but before heat styling or air drying. It’s the last step of the process. Simply dispense a dime-sized amount into hands and work through towel-dried hair from root to tip. Do not rinse out. It has a fluid texture that’s very easy to work with. I love that it doesn’t weigh the hair down and it doesn’t it make it feel crunchy and uncomfortable, as it’s sometimes the case with leave-in treatments.

Final Thoughts

I received this set shortly after my last hair appointment, right before my trip to Miami, a trip previously documented here. On the trip, I tried the 3-step system for the first time and loved the results so much, that I’ve ended up reaching for these products every time I wash my hair. I’ve now used them for about 5 weeks. These products protect my hair from the sun, detangle and smooth, while maintaining the vibrancy and shine of the color. I will always happily choose products that are well-formulated with plant-derived ingredients and without sulfates and parabens. Briogeo is a brand I’ve come to rely on for natural, yet effective haircare. If you have color-treated hair, you simply have to try their Color Me Brilliant range!
