Clairol Nice'n Easy Balayage Permanent Hair Dye, Blondes Hair Color, Pack of 3

I have many allergies so this product is very good for me as it does not need to touch the scalp. Also, I can achieve all over blonde color by using two boxes (I have very long hair) and smearing the product all over the top of my hair, leaving the bottom darker. I get a lot of compliments because the darker shades begin to mingle with the blonde. I also like the abiltiy to control how dark or light I want to go. For very light blonde on brownish hair 40 minutes works great. If you've never colored before leaving it on light brown hair for about 20-30 minutes gives a beautiful shade of red! I have multiple shades of color streaked through my hair and everyone loves it, I always get compliments. This product is so easy, just mix the powder with the liquid and paint your hair however you want it to be. It does smell a lot so I open a window because I am very sensitive to fumes, but it's not too bad compared to other products. My local stores quit carrying this product so I was thrilled to find it on Amazon as I have been using this for over 10 years. it worked great over gray too! I don't have much gray, but a little peeking through and this wipes it right out. Just remember, the lighter your hair the less time you will need to get great results, this stuff works fast! You can watch the color coming up within minutes. Don't put it on your skin or scalp, I did that once and got a mild rash. Read the instructions! Amazon shipped it super fast and it was well packed. Would buy this product from here again :)

I have been using this product for more years than I care to remember! I started with it when it was called Quiet Touch and I was a teen. I'm now in my 50's!! So I'm a very long term user and it has never disappointed. I can use as much or as little as I like, it's easy to mix and gives very good results. I only leave it on 10 minutes from the time I finish painting but that seems to be enough for my hair. What I've enjoyed most over the years is that you can be creative with this product. You can just highlight the front, go way blonder with it all over or whatever you like.

With much sadness/disappointment a new fact of my life is, I have to do my own highlighting. It will never look like 'Dexter' did it; but, my need to look professional is not longer a requirement (she says w/slight sigh of regret.). No caps or foils; but, there is a brush that requires some finesse to use (I ended up using my fingers for the most part; but, practicing w/the brush will give better results, I'll bet.) You can get right to the root and paint wherever you want with varying degrees of lightness. BUT...those test strips are MOST important. Blessed lots of w/thick, curly hair, I was able to cut 6 decent pieces, in varying head locations, for testing and made notes of the resulting times to achieve the req'd shades. If you want the varying shades, you'll have to 'time' applications...and keep notes!! My first try was more brass/red in some areas; but, am not too fanatical/fussy, as I once had to be, so a learning curve is okay w/me. Getting a pack a 3 is a good start at a good price. There's also a toll free # to call if you have questions/problems. I didn't use it; but, it's nice to know they provide help.

I have naturally blonde hair that has darkened with age and having kids. This is a great way to add highlights. It takes some practice but I have figured out how to add multidimensional highlights by only lightening small, small groups of strands with different times. So for example, at one session, I'll highlight a small strand group all around as a base color. Then at the next session a week or two later, I might take a few of those strands and re-apply for only a fraction of the time to make them even lighter. HOWEVER please do what the directions tell you and snip off some test pieces of hair underneath your hair and in the back of your head. Put them on tape to secure and highlight them and note the time it takes. Everyone's hair is different! Don't be an IDIOT and think you are going to lift your whole head of long brunette or black hair with only this box! It just won't happen AND if you are complaining, it means you haven't followed the directions. I really like this product and now that I'm getting better at doing it myself, I'll never have to go to a salon for lightening again, to see if they can translate what I want. I'll just do what I want instead.

I bought this in a bundle of 3. One of the boxes was opened and the highlighting powder package was cut open in the middle and the powder was all of the box and the rest of the items inside. It was a mess, and I was unable to use it. I tried using the other 2 boxes one at a time. The first time I tried it, after 40 minutes, I removed the bleach and my medium brown hair was a shade of pink/orange. I just about died. So, I tried it right away, a second time with the remaining box. I highlighted over the same areas, and a few more and left it on another 40 minutes. After rinsing, I have 3 spots on my roots that are about 1/4 inch of yellow and the rest of my hair is bright orange. The product dried quickly on my hair and even if I had left it on longer I do not believe it could have lightened my hair anymore than it did. I definitely do not recommend this product for medium or dark brown hair. I also cannot recommend this product based on the application technique and amount of bleach/developer. It simply isn't enough.

For the last 20 years I have gone to upscale salons in the states. This product delivered salon results at home without the hassle, time and expense of the salon! Love this lightener! You can apply on any color of hair and go from a carmel highlights with dark hair to a platinum highlight with light brown or blonde. Amazed there is a product that gives such great results and the shipper sent this product out immediately! I received in 2 days! Very pleased.

Not enough powder & developer to do a full frosting.

The descriptions says there is a frosting cap and hook to pull hair through. There is not! This is a paint on; messy and not effective.
