Clairol Natural Instincts Demi-Permanent Hair Dye , 6 Light Brown | Ammonia‑Free, Vegan Hair Color with Coconut Oil & Aloe Vera | Pack of 1

I use this every other time I dye my hair to decrease the effects of box dye damage. The color is right and matches my permanent dye color. It does wash out and will fade like it’s supposed to over a couple of weeks. I don’t wash my hair often so it actually lasts longer for me. My hair is 100% white- gray naturally so I was worried it wouldn’t cover my roots. Bc I dye it dark brown those roots really show. But It does cover them. It makes them brown but not as dark brown as a permanent dye. Way better than pure white though. I just came back and ordered 3 more boxes because I’m happy with it.

My hair is naturally a medium brown with some noticible gray hairs starting to come in so I used the 5 medium brown. I wanted something that only deposited color as my hair is very dry. I had completely virgin hair and was worried about using a permanent color. I am not very coordinated and was super worried about doing it myself but it was very easy! I washed my hair the night before and dyed it the next afternoon. It was easy to get the dye threw my hair. I didnt section but ran the bottle in between sections and kind of rubbed it in then squirted the ends and massaged in. I also put vaseline on my face and ears near my hairline and it wiped the dye right off when I was done. I used the conditioner it comes with after but since then I use a very thick hair mask for conditioner. I have very thick hair that goes to my elbows and I did need to use 3 boxes to cover all my hair. It came very uniform and covered my gray hairs. When I wash it, the color does transfer onto the towel so I would advise using a dedicated hair towel if you dont want to ruin all your towels. So far the grays are still covered but the color has faintly faded but looks very natural. I think I will get a month out of it but I only wash my hair 1 time a week. My technique might not have been the right way but it worked for me. I haven't dyed my own hair in 20 years so if I can do it I think anyone can 😆 definitely recommend this if you want to protect your hair from damage but get rid of grays! Picture is after 2 washes!

I used the 7A dark blonde color and loved it! I used it to cover brassiness and blend grays and it worked perfectly. Please note, this is DEMI permanent color, it does not have ammonia or peroxide/bleach in it so it will not lighten your hair- only stay same tone or darker. I think bad reviews don’t understand this. My natural hair is brown with some grays. I wanted to add some blonde to blend the grays in better, so I gradually lightened it over a few months (John Freida go blonder spray). That worked well and I really liked it, but as my hair grew out and I tried to add the lightening spray mostly to darker roots, it still always got on the lengths of my hair and eventually turned all of my hair too light and too yellow/orange brassy (as brown hair tends to do when bleached out). I tried toning it with purple conditioner and purple toning mask (Overtone brand, lightest purple so it wouldn’t darken too much or turn bluish) but it didn’t work at all, still very yellow. So I gave this a try and it was great, completely covered the yellow and partially covered the grays, it looks very healthy and even and blended now. Looks just like the box color AND also left my hair very healthy and glossy. It also smelled very nice. I have no complaints, the 20 minutes suggested in the directions worked perfectly and I’ll use it again if/when this gradually washes out. I prefer this over permanent color because I didn’t want it to look too flat or completely cover all my grays (and give me obvious roots as it grows out). If you are looking for a dye that will blend but still leave some high/low lights, and a softer root line, this is it.

The Clairol Natural Instincts Demi-Permanent Hair Dye in Blue Black is an excellent hair dye that effectively covers grey hair and offers long-lasting color. The dye works similarly to other hair-dye kits - simply add the color gel to the bottle of color creme, shake, apply the dye to your hair, and allow it to sit for 25 minutes before fully rinsing it out. The resulting dye job is a rich and highly pigmented black color to your hair. The dye covered my grey and brownish-black hair well, and the color lasts for weeks. It leans more towards black than blue, even in bright sunlight, and the color hasn't faded even after daily washes. The only real indicator that I've dyed my hair is when my hair finally starts to grow out. I liked how this dye didn't have a cloyingly strong chemical scent, and there was plenty of dye to color all of my hair. Overall, it's a good quality dye kit that I would get again.

Shocked by how far this brand has come. I first tried them when I was a broke college student and had to sacrifice to buy a box, back then it was like $30+ a box and I really wanted to use more natural, less harsh chemical hair dyes. Back then (2012-2014) not only was it super expensive for just one box but the color pay off sucked. I was so upset I remember so it took me a while to come back. So glad I gave them another shot because I absolutely loved this hair dye wow! It had minimal bleeding once I washed it the first two times and that's super helpful. Plus the richness of the color is so good! Even after over a month the hair dye is staying put. Although I only wash my hair once a week. I was not expecting this to be as good as it was since it's a more "Natural" hair dye but it blew me away and i'm 100% only buying this brand moving forward. The 3 box deal is unmatched too. I was previously buying the 3 box deal with Revlon but this is my new jam. I think the standout pro of this hair dye is how it DOESN'T burn your scalp or stink too much. Hubby and I are ttc and I really can't be exposed to too many chemicals right now in case I do end up pregnant these months so I really needed something that wasn't going to be so corrosive. Big negative about this brand is that the grey coverage isn't that great. It does cover greys just doesn't erase them fully fully. So keep that in mind. I have nearly a full head of greys and this covered like 98.9% of my greys. There were a few leftovers here and there, maybe like 10 total. Very unnoticeable but if you're a perfectionist it will bother you.

Natural looking color, gradually fades, no damage. Smells so much better than typical dyes. It is quick and easy and your hair is left feeling and looking healthier than before. And it comes with a fairly large tube of a wonderful conditioner that you use once a week in between touch ups. I refuse to use any other dyes. And it leaves my hair healthier than the salon ever did, plus costs hundreds less.

I had a hair coloring mishap (as one does) and dyed my hair pink, but the color I used didn't take evenly and turned into big pink splotches. I did several rounds of bleaching, color remover, tried adding more pink over it to even it out, and nothing worked. I ended up lifting my hair much lighter than I wanted and still had big pink splotches. My last resort to get the last of the pink out was to try this because it was darker and had pink in it and it worked! My hair is now one nice even dark rose gold blonde and I love it! My hair was also very soft after using it. It has a weird smell, but it goes away after 2-3 washes. I have very thick shoulder-length hair and I had just enough to do my whole head. If you have more hair, buy another box.

My hair had been damaged by using a strong permanent hair dye that contained a bleaching agent. I also sit out in the sun a lot so that didn't help my hair any. I decided to try this demi-permanent hair dye in the medium blonde shade. This is truly my natural hair color. Since I needed all-over coverage due to too much lightening, I followed the directions for all-over coverage, not just the roots. First, it was very easy to mix. Just gave the bottle (with the dye mixed in) a good shake. Used the enclosed gloves. Then I applied it. It was a bit gloppy so wear an old towel around your shoulders and make sure you wipe up any spills. I had to use my own hair covering (a disposable food bowl cover does the trick!) I did not shampoo as it said to do afterwards. I just used the conditioner it comes with. Now for the result: slightly darker than I expected. More like a dark blonde. After a week though, it lightened to more of a honey blonde with some highlights. After two weeks it was more like the color I wanted. Now it is almost five weeks and I am due to using this dye once again, as it faded considerably. Note that I do shampoo and condition my hair every day. I bought this demi-permanent in medium blonde again as it did make my hair look healthier and didn't damage it at all. At this time, I don't want to go a shade lighter than this.

First time trying this product after researching plant based and least damaging hair dye. The dark brown variant covered my greying roots blending nicely with my previous colour. Followed the instructions carefully and timely especially my hair has become brittle due to previous dyeing and chemical treatments. No itch or allergic reaction. The treatment included which I applied only to the coloured roots left my hair soft. The tube last me quite a few washes. Highly recommended. Im about to repurchase to replenish my supply. Thanks 😊

Remember, this is not bleach, will not lighten hair. Deposits colour a bit darker than expected (1 level) but fantastic grey coverage and excellent, gentle product. Will buy again.

Todo ok

Good product

Good quality, less ammonia smell than other home dyes.
