Clairol Natural Instincts Semi Permanent Hair Colour Reviews

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!
