With some amazing products from the brand I discovered while browsing online finding the best hair mask for my hair few years till now, there are many products I have tried from Christophe Robin and every time I try a new product from the brand, it amazes me. Christophe Robin Moisturizing Hair Oil with Lavender and Christophe Robin Moisturizing Hair Cream which I reviewed here, and Delicate Volumizing Shampoo with Rose Extract, Delicate Volumizing Conditioner with Rose Extracts, and Instant Volumising Mist with Rose Water which is my all time favorite volumizing hair products and been repurchased twice already and reviewed here. I am sharing my new finds from the brand which are Christophe Robin Regenerating plant oil with rare prickly pear oil and Christophe Robin Hair finish lotion with sage vinegar along with the new launch Christophe Robin Temporary color gel.
Christophe Robin Temporary color gel is a temporary coloring gel made from 92% natural-origin ingredients and pure pigments. Adapted to perfectly blend with the natural hair colour, this gel is free from oxidants and ammonia and is mild enough for all hair types. The gel effectively and immediately covers greys with the help of plant extracts that care for and protect delicate locks. Every strand receives even color, although the gel has no root effect and is completely temporary.
Christophe Robin Temporary Colour Gel
Christophe Robin Temporary Colour Gel washes out in five to seven shampoos or treatments, fading naturally to leave an even, sophisticated look. The result is naturally radiant hair that is soft and sleek. It is very gentle and mild on the hair and scalp for all hair types. Each shade was developed and formulated to adapt to any hair color. The range has four shades which makes it simple yet complete to easily choose the right tone. It is advised to opt for the color closest to the natural base of the hair. The temporary color gel is also an ideal alternative for those with allergies to semi-permanent and permanent dyes.
I have a few grays that started showing and I don’t want to start changing my color now. The color comes with an applicator brush which is great to target just what I need instead of doing my full hair and it blends well with the rest of my natural color. It lasts a few shampoos and covers the grays. It makes the hair shiny and soft, like a conditioner and a color at the same time.
Application:
-Wash hair with a silicone-free shampoo such as the Brightening Shampoo with Camomile and Cornflower, the Purifying Shampoo with Jujube Bark Extract or Hydrating Shampoo with Aloe Vera to prep the hair. Do not use any hair masks or conditioners.
-On towel-dried hair, apply the color gel. If covering only a few grays, use the applicator brush for a targeted and natural result. Otherwise, apply it evenly throughout the hair.
-Leave on for 40 minutes.
-To rinse, add a small amount of water, then emulsify by massaging the scalp to help remove excess product. Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear. Do not wash your hair after rinsing.
-The temporary color gel can be used as often as needed. The reusable kit is suitable for two applications for mid-length hair, or several applications for touch-ups.
-Tip: while using the color gel on the roots or targeted grays, you can apply a mask on your lengths and ends during the leave-in time.
Precautions:
-Avoid applying too much product to the scalp in order to prevent stains.
-Avoid contact with eyes.
-Perform a patch test 48 hours before using, even if you have already used coloring products before.

It is formulated without parabens, sodium laureth sulfate, silicones, ammonia, oxidants, colorants.
It has a delicate slightly powdery fragrance leaves a subtle scent on the skin. It can also be used to repair and style very dry, damaged or frizzy hair. I like to use it as an intensive treatment before washing, or as a styling product after washing, in very very small amounts on my dry and frizzy hair. It has been a really nice addition to my haircare routine for its nourishing and protective ingredients, I feel my hair are soft, shiny, and strong. It does not leave any greasiness or oiliness, it is very light, the key is the amount of the product you use. For my medium wavy hair, one pump on the mid-lengths and ends is sufficient. I would like to mention how nice the spray pump it and how light the texture of the oil is, not thick. It is very easy to spread on the hair and skin.

This hair finish lotion is enriched with herbal vinegar, which comprises a selection of Mediterranean plants such as thyme, sage, rosemary, and lavender.

Christophe Robin Purifying Hair Finish Lotion with Sage Vinegar is a leave-in mist. It is formulated without parabens, silicones, ammonia, oxidants, colorants or sodium laureth sulfate. This is something my itchy flaky scalp is really finding helpful, my scalp is soothed, calm, and nourished. It is very lightweight and absorbs into the scalp and skin without leaving an oily residue. I use it as I feel the need, first after washing my hair and towel drying them, I spray twice or thrice from roots to tips. On dry hair, the second day after my shampoo (I wash my hair every two days), I use it as a refresher. On the body, it works to refresh, tone, and soften the skin. I do use it in combination with my body oil or body lotion, as I have very dry skin on the body.
I was traveling last month and did take my staples, Christophe Robin Cleansing Purifying Scrub with Sea Salt and Cleansing Volumizing Paste with Pure Rassoul Clay and Rose Extracts, with me for my vacation. The travel sizes are a great way to try the products and to travel with them. Another new product I took with me was Shade Variation Care Nutritive Mask with Temporary Coloring which is a nourishing and color revival mask for anyone looking to add warmth in natural or color-treated hair. Colored chestnut hair goes brown over time and begins to look unnatural, while natural chestnut hair is often dull or ashy. Enriched with nourishing ingredients—almond butter and buriti oil—and combined with an acidic pH of 4.5, this mask in Warm Chestnut mini minimizes porosity, hydrates hair, fixes natural oxidation, and evenly distributes color. Cocoa butter and the selection of pigments enhance a caramelized hue and create a rich chestnut color throughout the hair.
The Baby Blonde mini is a purple treatment mask that neutralizes brassy or yellow tones for light blonde hair. Highlighted, colored, or bleached blonde hair tends to become grey or yellow over time, while natural blonde hair can become dull and lack shine. The nourishing ingredients in this tinting hair mask—almond butter, shea butter, and buriti oil—combined with an acidic pH of 4.5 help minimize porosity, fix natural oxidation, and evenly distribute color. The selection of iridescent pigments and Fiorentina iris neutralizes brassy or yellow tones, restoring the shine, brightness, and contrast of hair color.
The longer you leave this mask on, the more intense your results will be. Feel free to mix with other shade variation masks to create your own custom color nuance.
