IGK Williams Burgundy Color Depositing Hair Mask (Burgundy Gloss Toner) — Intense Semi-Permanent Color Conditioner, 6 oz
Product description
If your burgundy looks a little tired after a few washes, this IGK Williams Burgundy Color Depositing Hair Mask is built for the in-between. It’s a semi-permanent color conditioner and gloss toner in one, designed to refresh faded wine-red tones while also conditioning. In other words: more shine and depth, without the fuss of a full dye job.
On paper, it reads like a “color + treatment” step—something you’d use when you want your color to look alive again and your hair to feel smoother afterward. It’s not going to lighten hair, and it won’t fully erase gray, so it works best as a tone refresher rather than a dramatic color transformation.
The essentials
This mask deposits burgundy color while you treat your hair. You leave it on for 1–5 minutes for a subtle tint, or 10–15 minutes for deeper burgundy pigment. The brand positions it as lasting up to 10 washes, and the payoff depends a lot on your starting hair color and how porous your strands are.
It also targets softness and shine through conditioning ingredients highlighted in the description—squalane, meadowfoam oil, and prickly pear extract—aimed at smoothing the cuticle, replenishing moisture, and leaving hair softer, smoother, and shinier.
What you’ll notice after using it
The most obvious “why bother” here is tone. If your burgundy has started to go dull, muddy, or simply less dimensional, this is meant to bring that wine-red back with a glossy, even look. It’s described as working like a burgundy hair gloss, helping enhance rich red tones and even out color.
There’s also a practical side: the format is a mask you apply like a conditioning treatment. For a quick refresh, you can keep it short (1–5 minutes). If you want a stronger tint, you extend the time (10–15 minutes).
One micro-example: after your first or second wash following a salon visit, you notice your ends look a touch less vibrant. You can apply this like your usual conditioning mask, leave it for a few minutes, then rinse—often it’s that small window where a toner-style product makes the biggest visible difference.
How it fits into your routine (and where it can fall short)
This is an at-home color boost meant to maintain vibrancy between salon visits. If your main goal is “refresh and enhance,” it makes a lot of sense. If your goal is “go lighter” or “cover gray completely,” you may be disappointed—this mask won’t lighten hair and doesn’t fully cover grays.
Also, because color depositing results depend on your starting shade and strand porosity, the same routine may not look identical on everyone. It’s still designed to refresh burgundy, but you’ll want to think of it as tone maintenance with conditioning benefits, not an all-purpose solution for any hair color situation.

Should you buy it?
It’s a solid pick if you already have burgundy (especially wine-red/red tones) and you want an easy way to keep the color looking glossy and dimensional between salon appointments. You’ll likely appreciate it most if your color fades gradually and you’d rather refresh with a conditioner-style mask than commit to re-coloring.
It might not be the best choice if you’re trying to go lighter or if you specifically need reliable, full gray coverage. And if your expectations lean toward “set it and forget it,” keep in mind the results depend on starting color and hair porosity, so you may need to adjust timing (1–5 minutes vs 10–15 minutes) to land where you want.
