Clairol Natural Instincts Semi Permanent Hair Colour Reviews

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 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.

I've been colouring my hair with permanent dye for over 20 years and have never used a semi-permanent one until Beauty Review chose me to trial and review Clairol Natural Instinct. Honestly, it was easy to mix, easy to work with, the gloves are better than alot of the really expensive hair dyes out there and best of all.. no awful chemical smell! The coverage was suprisingly great on my greys and my hair came out really soft and smelt lovely thanks to the wonderful conditioner. I cannot say anything on longivety as review had to made in 10 days and I didn't get to wash it in that time.

I'm not normally a big fan of colouring my own hair at home, if you have long, thick hair like me, it can be a time-consuming and messy process!

In trying the Clairol Natural Instincts Semi Permanent Hair Colour, I only needed to colour my roots. Firstly, the products are pretty standard, two tubes of colour creme and activator to combine, 1 tube of conditioner and a pair of gloves. The gloves compared to other brands I've used, are great, they fit me well and were good quality (for plastic disposables).

The instruction leaflet was super easy to follow with photos, you really can't go wrong. The product was a nice texture, creamy and not drippy, it was easy to distribute through my hair.

The most surprising thing was that the scent was so nice! Usually the chemical smell is quite strong and harsh with hair dye, so I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed the scent of this Clairol hair colour. The conditioner supplied is a generous amount and smells amazing too, must be the coconut oil and aloe vera!

I left my colour in for 15 minutes for the roots area, as instructed, and then coloured the rest of my hair and waited 10 minutes before rinsing. I was happy with the colour result after drying my hair, although I could see a few lighter wisps at my roots (I have black hair) so maybe I needed to leave the product in for another 5 minutes or so. My hair was shiny and soft though and it looked healthy.

Overall I enjoyed using this product, I was impressed with the quality - from the gloves to texture and scent. I haven't had 28 washes yet to see if the colour lasts that long as advertised, but would be happy to recommend this to anyone looking for a decent home hair colour product. :)

I haven't dyed my hair in around 10 years, I love my natural colour. but every now and then I do want to change things up a little but not be too wedded to the end result. Using Clairol Natural Instincts Semi Permanent Hair Colour was so easy, everything is provided for you. the only thing I would say is my hair is really thick and medium length. I could tell there wouldn't be enough to do my whole head in the colour, so I only did the bottom half as like a lowlight effect.

I really like the outcome by the way...

The colour had a good consistency, it wasn't running everywhere and stayed where I put it.

The smell was very pleasant, and the colour didn't stain my skin. I did wipe it off and clean up as soon as I applied it.

my hair felt incredibly soft afterward, it didn't feel like fake soft, it felt like I'd had a mini treatment. And doing it on half of my head meant I could feel the difference to the rest of my hair.

I'm yet to wash it out to see how it lasts, but the colour is nice and subtle on my dark hair.

All in all, would recommend.

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 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.

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.

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
