Napro Palette Intensive Caring Colour.

I've tried this in both black and a red. The biggest positive I can pull from it is the smell isn't overly chemical, the scent is mild and sweet.

It mixes well, develops quickly and as long as you wipe any spots of it off your skin in good time doesn't stain. The nozzle on the applicator bottle is easy to use.

Conditioner that comes with it smells really nice and the scent lingers in hair for a good few days.

Unfortunately when I went to wash it out I was alarmed to see a huge amount of my hair going down the drain. This hair shedding continued for a good week afterwards. Thinking I may have done something wrong I tried it again the next time I coloured my hair but the same thing happened. No other dyes have had this effect.

Granted it's an affordable option but I won't be purchasing this again. I also found that the colour faded really quickly.

I have tried this product 3 times and each time my hair gets so knotted and feels brittle, I thought 3rd time lucky maybe it's just the colour dyes I had brought but no for me it doesn't matter what colour it always does the same. Only thing that's good is the colour not the way it makes my hair feel compared to other brands

I used the #1 black colour from the Napro Palette range. I found the product had a few things I didnt like such as the formula was too thin, and it didn't cover all of my shoulder length hair. Also I found the chemical smell to be super overpowering, I could barely breath. And the gloves didnt fit.. But the bottle it comes in it easy to use !

The results I got were actually quite good, I had bold/dark shiny hair but only for the first two weeks. Then it faded and left my hair looking dull and lifeless. This is one of the cheaper colouring ranges out there and with the mediocre results I got I wont be going back for seconds.

Before I started this dye job I went into it knowing that reds do fade quite badly so I only had moderate expectations. I chose the colour Intense red ( I am a natural redhead but wanted a bit more oomph). I have long hair so used 2 boxes as recommended; luckily it was on special in the supermarket. Even not on special it is still a very good price. Unfortunately as per most dyes the gloves are a bit naf so I used latex gloves instead. Once I got started the smell made my eyes water. It was however quite easy to get good coverage over all of my hair. After developing and rinsing out it looked amazing. Within about 10 days the colour had lost its intensity and just looked a bit 'muddy' and I was very disappointed that the colour fade was that quick, even with using colour lock products. I think if you are after intense results but don't mind the fade then this is a perfectly fine product to use but for me I was hoping for something with a little more staying power.

I was really happy with the intense colour at first, but after about a week the colour started to fade drastically. I could see the colour washing out in the bottom of the shower, which I have never experienced before. The smell of this hair dye is very strong so definitely needs to be done in a very well ventilated place.

I coloured my hair on Saturday the 11th in shade 4.88 Intense red.

Smells good, not floral but slightly herbal. Formula is really good , very creamy and thick and spreads really well. When colouring my own hair I use the nozzle of the bottle close to my scalp and squeeze in a zig zag pattern all over the regrowth (I only colour my regrowth) and pat and push into the hair with my fingers. And use the nozzle to part my hair in vertical sections. I continue till all the roots are saturated.

I actually left this one for about two hours, due to not having enough hot water. It still rinsed well and came off my skin well. I like to wet hair , emulsify and rub the colour into my forehead and temples, this helps remove some colour on the skin.

The colour care conditioner that comes with, is nice super thick and creamy, smells herbal as well, left my hair super shiny and soft.

I had a vibrant red result and that's what I am after. However and even tho it says GREY COVERAGE!!!!! I can see it coated them, but I can see in a wash they'll be back to white in no time. That's a pet hate of mine!! So my theory of leaving it in longer that the 30 minutes does not cover grey any better. However Brilliance by Schwarzkopf does perfect grey coverage with their Reds. Same company....

The Palette range is a cheaper , so I shouldn't have expected it to stand up to Brilliance.

Ive used this twice before and would not go back. I didnt like how fast my colour faded(if it had been red I wouldnt of been surprised but black?)and my hair felt like straw afterwards. The after care conditioner did nothing to help the condition it left my hair in

When I first started dying my hair this was my brand of choice. Cheap, always had my colour and worked for a while.

It would make your hair shiny for the first day and then completely dry it out.

The colour lasted for me around 2-2.5 weeks and there was always dye running don the drain every time I washed my hair. A colour protect shampoo never worked for it either.

If I was $6.00 short for the brand I use now then I would resort to this until next time.

I find that if you are looking for a cheap, at home hair colour then this is an okay option. For me, the colour faded so quickly that I had to redo it again not long after, and if you're like me and try to spread the time between dying as long as you can, this isn't the product for you.

Even on the cost front, having to redye it so often would end up costing you more than using a more expensive brand in the first place, so there're really no advantage of using this over another brand.
