Chris Christensen Red on Red Colour Enhancing Shampoo, 473 ml

Chris Christensen Red on Red Shampoo is a legendary, top-show-grade professional shampoo created specifically to optically enhance, saturate and revive red, mahogany, golden and chestnut coat colours in dogs and cats. This premium American formula works through a smart colour-correction system in which microscopic pigments penetrate beneath the hair cuticle to fill in sun-faded areas and bring back the stunning depth of the natural colour. The product is not a permanent dye and contains no harsh chemicals, hydrogen peroxide or damaging components, while nourishing the hair and delivering impeccable cleanliness and a luxurious show shine without artificial fillers.

Professional optical pigmentation for rich, warm, vibrant mahogany shades

The red and mahogany pigment in pets' coats is extremely sensitive to environmental influences. Under UV rays, sunlight and frequent baths with ordinary shampoos, the luxurious warm colour quickly fades, taking on a lifeless, dried-out or greyish tint. Standard cleansing products cannot restore lost pigment, and using human hair dyes is dangerous and strictly prohibited in veterinary grooming. Chris Christensen Red on Red offers a scientific and completely safe solution based on advanced technology from the USA.

The shampoo works on the principle of spectral colour layering. Its rich ruby-red liquid contains precisely balanced pigments that neutralise unwanted grey or dull undertones and highlight the natural beauty of a red coat. Because the molecules are designed to bond naturally with the keratin in the hair, they do not stain the skin or permanently change the genetic colour, but simply bring out its full potential. The product can be mixed with other shampoos in the brand's colour range to achieve the perfect individual shade in breeds with combined markings.

Instructions for use

The product should be applied undiluted for maximum effect, or mixed with other colour shampoos from the brand for specific shades. Instructions for use: First bathe the animal with a deep cleansing shampoo to remove oils and sebum. Wet the coat generously with lukewarm water and apply Chris Christensen Red on Red directly to the desired areas. Massage thoroughly until a rich red lather forms. Leave the product on the coat for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the colour intensity you want. Rinse extremely thoroughly with plenty of lukewarm water until it runs completely clear. Always finish with a suitable conditioner to seal the cuticle and the pigments into the hair.

Frequently asked questions

Question 1: Can Red on Red be used on completely white or very light coats? Use on pure white areas or on coats lighter than the gold/red spectrum is not recommended. Because this is an intensive colour-depositing shampoo, applying it to a white coat may result in unwanted pink or red staining. For white dogs, use the White on White range. Question 2: Is this product a dye, and how long does the colour effect last? The shampoo is not a chemical dye and contains no permanent colourants; it works by optically layering pigments in the hair cuticle. The effect is temporary and lasts between 2 and 4 weeks, depending on how often the pet is subsequently bathed with neutral shampoos. Regular use builds up protective pigment and keeps the colour perfect. Question 3: Can the product be mixed with other Chris Christensen colour shampoos? Yes, absolutely. The brand's system is designed so that the colour products can be combined according to specific grooming recipes. For example, for dogs with a rich mahogany colour you can mix Red on Red with a little Black on Black, and for lighter, chestnut or golden shades with Gold on Gold, to get the perfect individual tone.

Expert tip

To get the most out of colour correction with Chris Christensen Red on Red, always pre-wash the coat with a deep cleansing shampoo (for example from the Clean Start or SmartWash 50 ranges). This is necessary because accumulated oils, styling lacquers or city dust block access to the cuticle and prevent the red pigments from bonding evenly with the hair. Apply Red on Red completely undiluted to the critical, faded areas and massage gently. Always leave the shampoo on for the full 10 minutes before rinsing. Always use lukewarm water and finish the bath with a rich hydrating conditioner that closes the hair scales and "locks" the rich mahogany pigment inside. Store the original bottle in a dark, cool place to protect the sensitive colour molecules from oxidising under light.
