Clairol Natural Instincts Semi Permanent Hair Colour Reviews

Nice to not have the distinctive hair dye smell that comes with permanent colours. Easy to mix and apply, however suspect, like most colours I use, my hair will grow before the colour fades out :) Dark brown shade gave nice highlights to my hair. Still to determine if it lasts the 28 washes, but would use again if priced well

This is such a great semi-permanent colour. It exceeded my expectations!

The consistency is similar to other box dyes I’ve tried in the past, not too thick, and thin enough to spread it evenly throughout the hair. It’s really easy to use - mix the two products, shake and apply with the bottle that comes in the box with a thin nozzle. Super easy. The scent isn’t too bad, it’s more like a shampoo scent with a hint of that signature hair dye scent. I’ve got short-medium length hair that’s not thick at all and one box was plenty, more than enough even. It covered all my hair easily without any patchiness. The colour is so good, I was shocked too see how much pigment was deposited into my hair! I expected it to be more of a tint, but it really does perform well! The colour is lovely and vibrant. I would definitely use again and would highly recommend to anyone who wants a temporary colour change.

I usually use ammonia based colours which dry out my hair but Clairol Natural Instincts hair colour was very gentle on my scalp and my hair felt very soft after using it. There was no irritation at all. It was very easy to apply with easy instructions to follow. The dye worked well on my hair and the colour came out well, quite even on the greys and non greys. The conditioner was also nice with a fresh smell. The gloves fit better than other brands, which are usually a very tight fit. The dye has a very fresh smell and not overpowering like other chemical dyes. The best part is this product has 80% naturally derived ingredients which is great for our environment. I will be using this product again and recommending to others.

I was impressed by the Clairol Natural Instincts Semi Permanent Hair Colour. Firstly, it was so easy to use, the dye mixed well and it was ready to be applied in a matter of seconds. The coverage was amazing! My hair is quite long, (almost to my waist) and there was more than enough dye to give it all an even cover, I even put more on to use it all up. There was no nasty chemically smell that some hair dyes have, it made it a lot more pleasant to use instead of feeling like you are choking. When I rinsed it out it came out quickly and I didn't need to wash it under water for a long time, and the colour that was left was vibrant and beautiful! I used the Brown Black colour. I found the pictures on the box that indicate the colour to be an accurate match, with the dye producing the colour that I expected, and was hoping to see. I will be using this again!

I was lucky enough to be on the trial team testing out this hair colour. Firstly my hair colour was so grown out, it was say 3/4 a natural brownish colour and the last 1/4 at the ends was blonde from previous dying months and months ago. I followed the instructions for dying my full head of hair and I am happy with the results. I had the cool blonde shade and it did turn out more a light brown rather then a cool blonde in my hair, even on the light blonde that was in my ends already but overall the colour looks great. My hair looks healthy and Shiney and afterwards it felt so soft and silky. The conditioner it comes with smells amazing, it's a coconut scent and it makes my hair feel great. easy to use, just your typical mix 2 products together then apply, wait the 20 minutes then rinse and use supplied conditioner. It had the hair dye smell, maybe not quite as strong as previous ones I had used. Overall I am happy with the product and would recommend and also use again myself.

It's so hard to find a good semi permanent hair colour these days! I'm sure they used to be everywhere, but now they're really hard to find so I was really pleased to discover that this one does what it says it will!

Great coverage, didn't smell like I was being poisoned while I was applying it 🤣.

Sadly as the turnaround time is so short from shipping to review time I haven't had a chance to wash it even once since receiving it, so I am hopeful the colour lasts more than one or two washes.

I have long wavy hair which has a high percentage of grey around my face and temple areas . l like to blend tge grey in with my dark to medium blonde hair . So the overall effect is natural . I tried the number 8 Medium blonde it's some where in-between my true colour and lighter areas. It's such a gentle natural formula, which blended away my grey and root line Great that there is no ammonia in the product aswell Definitely will try again instead of spending a fortune at the hairdresser, and not getting what l asked for! Will post photos of my results

I usually use another permanent colour by Clairol so was interested to try something different. As the name suggests, the Natural Instincts colour didn't have any harsh chemical smell. The colour mixed easily and was ready to apply in a few seconds.

I felt this was a little more difficult to apply as the other colour I use is a thicker mix and tends to "hold" the hair up better when you're applying the colour to the under layers. Whereas with this one I kept having to battle bits of hair getting in the way.

Having said this, the colour was very even and consistent and covered all the grey (yay!). As it's still early days I don't know how long the colour will last for. It was slightly darker than I anticipated but most box colours generally are in my experience. As it washes out it will no doubt fade a little.

I really liked the natural feel and smell and I do like the colour, even though it's darker!

On arrival I had a good read of the light green packaging. Nice to see contents that I could understand. Aloe Vera and coconut oils, which can leave your hair nourished and soft. Up opening and mixing there was no harsh smell that you normally get upon mixing. The cream was thick but runny enough to spread easily on my head, and yes I managed to do my own hair with the applicator. One package managed to coat my long hair evenly and gave good coverage. The scent wasn’t strong like some dyes have, it was pleasantly surprised. The cost was comparable to a permanent dye you purchase and still get a month or so from it before the greys start showing hopefully. I was pleased with the overall colour of my hair, and how it felt afterwards. The aloe and coconut made my hair soft and manageable rather than stiff and dry like other dyes. It would be nice to see after a month of washing that my colour on the grey is not gone, it would be good to update for this. I currently recommend it to those who wish not to have strong chemicals on their hair.

I wrote a review last night, but I can’t find it intended to add part 2!So this is part two, so I’ll do the first part again as well. First of all ,there was no smell as stated on the box which was nice. Definitely no ammonia and no strong yukky smells in fact, subtle coconut I think. It was very easy to apply and make a suds like shampoo , although I must say I like to have somebody to help me at the back of my head, and to let me know if I flicked dye my hair over my face by mistake as the dye sets quickly, so you need to wipe it off for the warm flannel as quick as you can. DEFINITELY wear the gloves provided ! My natural hair is very dark brown and I found this colour actually made my hair almost black, but it looks still very natural.One thing I love is the feel of the conditioner too . Very soft & could use a small amount x have heaps fir a few conditions…It makes my hair feel soft , and my hair feels slightly thicker today too ,( great for not so thick hair ) and it is really shiny even my kids noticed!. I will definitely use this again. I would probably choose a slightly lighter colour for me, and I found it covered my greys really well.love to knowing also it has aloe Vera and coconut & no added parabens . So lots healthier for your scalp . Happy !
