Was in need of a color when I got the opportunity to trial this product and liked that this was a semi permanent. Packaging was subtle not vibrant like some of the other hair color brands. Instructions were easy to follow and mixing easy. Had a very faint clean fresh scent which was nice as some can be abit over powering. The mixing bottle was opaque which i didnt like as it made it a little difficult to see how much color was left when applying. Consistancy was a little runneer than others I've used and a little went a long way for my shoulder length hair. I achieved good grey coverage and color but found my hair not as soft and shiny as other brands I've used.

One of the good boxed Hair color
First of all . Thank you Clairol for the ammonia free hair color. It was nice to try this color . It was not as running mixture as I mixed creme with activator . Easy to apply with applicator bottle. My greys are very well blended with already colored hair. I kept the hair couple of more as prescribed on the box . The smell was as bad as I thought. I used the conditioner after washing hair color that left my hair less frizzy. One the better point is that it’s not as expensive as the other top brands available in the supermarket. It’s good to get this ammonia free color with bit less price. I definitely would love to use but this hair color .I would recommend to try on this boxed hair color . I am sure you won’t be disappointed. Cheers
Tips: Don’t forget to cover your forehead and clothes before applying hair color .

Great temporary fix
I have had the pleasure in trying out the colour light blonde. My hair is in need of fixing and this has helped me to lighten my hair from dark blonde roots and bleached ends to lighter roots and slightly toned ends. Instructions say to leave in for 20 minutes but I feel for better results to keep it in a bit longer. I do like this hair colour but maybe needing to go darker next time to get a better over all finish as it doesn’t ‘bleach’ your hair to go lighter just colours it. There are no harsh smells, the conditioner smells so good and was so nice on my hair and my hair doesn’t feel damaged after applying. If this is something you are after I do recommend if you are wanting to go darker than your own colour!
Tips: -Leave it in for a little bit longer to get desired results -Apply to roots first to get a more even result

No ammonia gets a big tick in my book
I really like that this didn't have a strong chemical smell, which always puts me off home dyes. It seems more natural and given it's semi-permanent, you don't have to commit to a particular colour. It did leave my hair soft after washing it out and application was easy, no drips! It's a solid choice but not one that really blew me away.

Colour enchancing
I found this to be more colour enchanting rather than changing - added a bit of brightness to my medium/dark blonde hair and left it looking less flat/dull which was exactly what I was hoping for.
It was easy to use, fairly light consistency and while it had the typical hair dye smell it wasn’t as strong as other brands and didn’t bother me at all. I can’t comment on how long it will last as I have only washed my hair once since but after that one wash I don’t see any fading yet.
My one complaint is (and this is typical of most box dyes) - not enough product. My hair is not even at my shoulders and one box was not enough - I ended up applying to the top half of my hair first and so the bottom layer is quite patchy as there just wasn’t enough product. Because the colour is so close to my hair colour anyway and it’s the bottom half you can’t tell at all. I just find this disappointing as it means you need to buy two boxes (maybe three for long hair) which makes it pricey.
Tips: If your hair is at shoulder length and not super fine you will likely need more than one box.

Colour freshness
I received the trial package from Beauty Review and I have to say the product did not disappoint in terms of quality. The packaging and instructions are all very simple to follow. One of the things I liked when applying the product is you can smell the aloe and coconut oil which made my hair feel fresh especially when it came time to rinse. My hair is medium to long in length so felt I needed just a little bit more product but other than that the colour came out great my hair felt silky and shiny. It’s been in my hair now for 2 days and looks great.
Tips: For medium to long hair may need more than 1 bottle.

Covered up the greys
I generally use box dyes to cover any greys in between salon visits. The product was easy to mix, with no overpowering chemical smell. It was quite thick so didn't drip anywhere. I left it on for the required 20 minutes and it has covered all of the stray grey hairs and looks a lot healthier now. Love the conditioner, it instantly detangled my hair. Be interested to see how long it lasts

So Natural, and Smells Amazing!
Upon opening the package, I smelt a refreshing coconut scent. The smell is so nice and isn't over powering. I love that this hair dye is natural and doesn't contain all the chemicals that other products do. I appreciate that they included enough conditioner for a few washes to help keep and maintain my dyed hair smooth and soft. I have tried a few other brands and I have found that they never include enough conditioner, so I enjoyed having more. The packaging is clean and clear to read, and the application was easy. It didn't leave me with a strong chemical smell during or after either. I'm thinking I will be using this again!

Giving me natural confidence!
I love that it has 80% natural ingredients, that is the first big tick for me as I am always really weary about what I put on my hair. It also means there is no nasty chemical smell. The colour provided the coverage I was expecting and left my hair feeling smooth and soft. I felt confident going out!

I had never used a semi permanent hair dye before so I was interested to see how it would perform but sadly I was not happy with the results.
On the plus side I loved that when I was applying it that it didn’t have an overpowering smell like most hair dyes and when my hair was dry it had made my hair softer and shinier than it was.
The lengths of my hair turned a nice colour but my dark roots were still pretty dark so I feel like it was a waste of time using this dye.
