Clairol Color Gloss Up Temporary Hair Dye, Terra Copper Hair Color, Pack of 1 (Packaging may vary)

Clairol Color Gloss Up Temporary Hair Dye, Terra Copper Hair Color, 1 Count I had been using the L'Oreal Le Gloss in Copper but wasn't seeing as much of a change as I wanted on virgin, medium brown hair and decided to try the Clairol version. They're both toning, glossing conditioners that come in a squeeze tube, are applied to clean, damp hair and left on for up to 15 minutes. The shades of copper are a bit different too, with Clairol's being brighter. Neither can lighten hair, lift the cuticle (aka no damage) or permanently cover greys. The pictures on the Clairol box are not realistic as they show hair being lightened. The effects are modest on virgin hair and will be more intense on porous hair (previously lightened, damaged, or some coily and kinky textures). Having used them both, the Clairol deposits much more color in one go and is also more likely to stain your skin and nails (gloves would have been a good idea, but I guess I can live with orange fingernails for a few days! ) I highly recommend applying this carefully with a brush on sectioned hair so you get even results. The L'Oreal has less color and is a much creamier texture, so it's easy to slap on with your hands and much harder to create an uneven result. They both smell great and condition hair. I leave them both on for 15 minutes. The Clairol creates a noticeable change indoors and outdoors in one application on virgin hair. It took me 3 successive weekly applications to see a change indoors with the L'Oreal. Each tube has 3-4 applications for my layered, shoulder-length hair. I didn't take a before shot, but here are "afters" with one 15 minute application indoors, outdoors in indirect light and outdoors in full sun.

The product is really really great. Make sure u spread it very good and evenly on your hair though. I used my hands and it stained my hands lol but it came off after a decent scrub.. same with on my face from getting my roots. I will warn to definitely make sure it’s even. It comes on very dark and sticks fast. I noticed I got my root area very well and not so much the middle parts so it looked slightly uneven. I had to wash my root area about 3x to get it to fade a bit. I left it on for a bout 10 minutes and applied to wet hair after I washed it. It’s definitely a copper color but like I said, if you leave it on it is dark at first and if it’s not even there will be lighter/darker areas. It colored on super super fast. My advice: Use gloves, brush through, and if you don’t want it as dark and just want a touch up, try diluting the dye with a red shampoo or conditioner so you can apply it evenly and brush it through. Great for in between hair appts. I did Terra Cotta and I was blonde (bleached) prior UPDATE: It DOES have a pink hue.. just be advised! It’s more one the red side versus ginger copper side but I still liked it.

I am a repeat customer for this product and due to buy again! Keeps my colour topped up in between hairdressing visits

I bought Terra cotta copper and it is amazing! I am a 48 year old natural redhead who has faded in recent years. This is the most natural red I’ve tried. I only did 10 minutes and it was a little more vibrant than I wanted. But the color was perfect! Great product!!! Before and after. After is the black shirt after 10 min and 4 shampoos.

Gave a lovely coppery shine to my hair
