I love this hair dye! It's cheap, it's easy and it does what it says in my opinion.
I get the Chocolate Brown shade and the colour is very true to the box. I often find with other brands that the browns go very dark in my hair, and with my lighter completion, I end up looking very pale.
I don't like the gloves that they provide. They're very plastic feeling and are bigger than my hands so it ends up being a bit of a pain when I apply the dye. I prefer the latex type because they are more fitted and don't move around on your hands like these ones. The instructions are easy to follow with wee diagrams so it's hard to mess it up.
The conditioning treatment is my favourite part. It smells great! Very fruity and fresh and it leaves your hair so silky soft afterwards!
My hair tends to fade colour out, regardless of if it's box dye or if I go to the salon, and unfortunately this dye isn't any different. I generally will get about 4-5 weeks out of it but for the price you pay, it's not bad at all =)
This is probably the only hair dye (except one) that I have used in the past two years or so. I love that you can smell the delicious Garnier smell through the box, it just makes it that much more enticing.
The dye is like most others, it comes with three liquids, two of which you mix together, the third a conditioner. It doesn't smell overly like ammonia, it's actually quite pleasant to use.
I let it sit for 20-30 minutes. Sometimes I wrap my hair in glad wrap and only do it for 15 - hair dye is super weird when it's under glad wrap or wrapped in tin foil, it heats up!! I rinse it in the shower and I shampoo it to help get the color off my scalp, followed by the conditioner that comes with the dye.
The conditioner is thick and smells great, but I think the bottle that it comes in needs to be revisited because I struggle to get all of it out! I store it upside down in the shower in hopes of getting it out and when I am at the final dredges I pour a bit of hot shower water into the bottle, shake it up, and use that in my hair.
The dye colors are exactly what they say they are, and I've personally never had any problems with this hair dye. Garnier forever!!
