I dye my hair often, it is usually always black or blue black. I picked this up in natural black from Countdown, it was $9 on special and I always need 2 packs as my hair is super long. So $18 for 2 is a great, affordable price.
As always I use my own disposable gloves as every dye comes with gigantic, flimsy gloves which just fall right off. This is a standard dye, mix together then apply. This applies nice and even. It does not have an overwhelming stench. 2 packets was more than enough for my hair, I always concentrate on my roots and top half of my head with the first box then go in and saturate my whole head with the second box.
I let it sit for 45 minutes, then jump in the shower to wash out. The conditioner that comes with it is in a tube which is way better than those silly little foil sachets which are always hard to open and have hardly any product.
Once dry the coverage is even and my greys are covered 100%. It makes my hair shiny and healthy looking. I use a colour lock shampoo and conditioner and get a long lasting colour which is great. My hair does not feel damaged at all. This is a really great dye. I would definitely buy this again but would like to try it in blue black next time. A really effective, affordable home dye.
I've been using Clairol Nice 'n' Easy for years, and tried a couple of colours. I currently use the light auburn and get lots of comments about the colour. Lovely tones and highlights so looks natural and gives my hair a great shine and depth of colour. Its quick and easy to apply. I have lots of grey so need to leave it on for longer (45 mins in total). I usually start on the roots around the face as that hair seems to be the hardest to get coloured and most noticeable when not, then the rest of the roots, and the remainder of the product into the length of my hair after 30 minutes, leaving for 15 mins more. Then jump into the shower, rinse off, use the supplied conditioner, wait 2-3 mins before rinsing and Voila! a new improved, shiny, younger me. Lasts about 4 weeks with my hair having lots of grey. I actually look forward to colouring as it gives me confidence that I look good. Reasonably priced.
Tips: Wipe off any colour that gets onto your skin or put on vaseline around the hair line before colouring to prevent staining.
