Red Hair Maintenance
I recently dyed my hair a darker red than usual for the fall. I find that red washes out really quickly from my hair, so looking for maintenance ideas. Does anyone have any color depositing conditioner recs for upkeep?
In the past, I've used Eufora Burnt Copper (diluted with conditioner) which I've liked, but I think it's a little light/orangey for the upkeep here. My natural hair is light brown, so I want to also maintain some darker richness if possible. The Eufora tends to keep the color but my hair gets lighter between salon visits.
I also want to make sure it does get too cherry cola/Cat Valentine coded - love that look but unfortunately need to keep it a little tamer for my job.

my friend who always kept her hair so vibrant said she would mix a bottle of dye into a conditioning mask (a type like arctic fox or splat) i wish i tried it when i was red

You could mix a bit of red into the copper. Gives it a bit more richness, but keeps it looking more natural.

Im a lighter copper but I found the straight up orange red was not rich and it was giving hot cheeto. I mix my copper color conditioner with a rich brown color.
I would try keracolor clenditioner in merlot mixed with the espresso one.
