I love it

There are not a whole lot of non-permanent, non damaging hair dyes out there right now. It is a great non-permanent hair color. Why? For many, many reasons! First of all, it is super affordable, costing only seven dollars at any supermarket or drugstore, completely within my college student budget. So that is a very good thing for me. Another thing, the color is vibrant and shiny. It does not have...read more that awful ammonia smell that some permanent dyes do have. This one is so gentle on the hair and scalp. After washing, the hair is soft and manageable. I love it. The color lasts a few weeks at most, but if you wash your hair every other day or two days like I do, then it lasts a little longer. So bottom line: affordable, full coverage, with tons of different shades to choose from and gentle, you really can not get any better than that. Totally awesome product by Clairol. This is also great for playing around, if you are too scared to try a permanent hair dye or of you're unsure of the color you're gonna get. That way, if you mess up, it won't be permanent, it will only be bad for a few days at most. I love it, and it is a personal favorite of mine.

Disappointing, did not cover all grays but good color

I just colored my hair last night with this dye, and I am very disappointed. I figured with a color creme, there would be less dripping and nope, still dripped. It smelled okay, but it did not cover all my gray, and I don't even have a lot to cover. I left it on for 15 minutes, 5 minutes more than the time the box said. It took forever to wash out of my hair and it was dry and stripped bare as...read more wood before I put on the included conditioner. The resulting color was nice, though, an auburny, reddish tint. My hair was very shiny too. And it did come with the nicer gloves than the crappy plastic baggy-type ones. The conditioner, like a lot of times with home color, is great but you can't buy it separately in the store. They give you enough for 5 weekly treatments, and it's very smoothing and hydrating. I probably won't buy this again, though. I think I will try the John Frieda haircolor next since I hear that is much better to cover grays with.

Left gray roots very brassy

Doesn't work well for greys.

Used to be good, new formula disappointing

I read good review upon good review, but unfortunately when I tried the new formula I had a terrible experience. The colour was fine, but as I was rinsing my hair out in the shower I noticed more shedding than normal. Not breaking off at the ends, which would just indicate my hair was damaged, but coming out at the root. I didn't go bald or anything, simply experienced more than normal shedding of...read more my hair for the next few days. I would be extremely hesitant before trying this product again.

My favorite dye

I used 'rich black' (which is hard to find) and two boxes (to cover all my hair) and it worked perfectly. It covered my half bleach-blonde and half bright red hair with a beautifully even tone of rich black.

GOOD COLOR

I'm blonde and I recently decided I wanted to go dark but didn't want to go permanent just in case I didn't like it so I picked up two boxes of this. (I have long hair and one box isn't enough) I went with a chocolaty brown color and I must say it turned out almost identical to the model on the box. Very natural looking color that covered my hair very evenly. Haven't tried any of the lighter colors but if you're trying to go dark, this is a good brand to go with.

the best in non-permanent haircolor!

I tried Clairol's Natural Instincts Rich Color Creme in darkest brown. I have used Natural Instincts before but this was the first time I tried their new Color Creme 10 minute product. I have to say that it was probably the best experience coloring my hair that I have ever had. The application process was easy and not at all messy. It smelled better than any other hair color I've tried and did...read moren't reek of chemicals. When I washed it out of my hair I noticed how much better by hair felt, not dry or brittle. My hair actually does look better than before I colored it...shiny & healthy. I cannot testify on how well it works on greys because I don't have any yet. Also the product states that darker shades may not wash out in 28 shampoos which is perfect for me but I wonder how long it would last with someone with lighter hair. This is a great product.
