Best

Very good and effective product

Value for money

It doesn't make hair rough. Economic, good quality but doesn't last long on hair.

It gives beautiful dark chocolate brown colour without damaging the hair

I have been colouring my hair for nearly two decades now, and I have used just about every brand and type, as well as salon visits. These days, I simply want to keep my hair dark and want something to maintain my colour as the roots grow out. This product works great for my needs. I have a special hair colour bottle which has a comb-like set of application nozzles that is specially designed for root application. I use that bottle with this product. I simply add each of the three parts of this hair colour system to the bottle, shake it up, and then apply. It is very easy and the colour and shine come out great. Even if some colour was left on the skin, it seems to wash away fairly easily which is nice. I do add a little oil to my skin before colouring to protect it, which does help. The smell of the product is really good when compared to many other hair colour treatments. The smell is quite tolerable, almost pleasant. The colour is rich and beautiful and doesn’t look boring or flat. It looks like professional, dimensional colour. The shine is great too and really helps to elevate the look. My hair doesn’t feel damaged at all after using, like with so many other products. However, I am not sure about other people, but when I colour my hair, I always seem to have quite a lot of hair fall immediately as I wash out the hair colour, especially after using shampoo and conditioner (immediately after washing out the hair colour.) This product is no different, unfortunately. I had about the same amount of elevated hair fall as I normally do after a hair colour treatment. Not worse, just the same. I guess that is to be expected. I do have one small complaint. I almost feel silly mentioning this, but I actually think the packaging is too nice for a one-time, single use and throw-away product. The bottles are too nice that it’s almost a shame to throw them away so soon. They are like the same quality as you would find some fancy lotion sold in. Something that you would keep on your shelf. I don’t know, I just think that it is a lot of waste and the company should use cheaper, smaller, more environmentally friendly bottles since they are just one time use only. Also, the bottles aren’t even half full! Why such a big nice bottle to just throw away?? I don’t get it. It also makes me wonder how much of the cost of the product goes into the bottles and not into the hair colour itself. How much better the product might be if the cost of the bottles went into the hair colour. Anyway, that is my only “complaint” if that even is a complaint or a complement, I don’t know. But I do like the product and this is my second re-order. I plan on using this product moving forward. It’s the best I have found so far in this price range. One last thing to mention, I am using the chocolate brown colour and I am using it on my lighter brown/grey hair. This darker shade is depositing colour onto my hair, not lifting. I have not researched all of this company’s other shades, but I do recall seeing some lighter shades and also some brighter reds. I do wonder if those lighter shades have lifting power, or if they just deposit colour onto hair which has already been lightened. In case one has dark black hair and are wanting to lighten it to a chocolate brown, I think you will need to lighten your hair first with another product. I am pretty sure this chocolate brown will only deposit colour and not lighten. Again, I am only saying this for my colour. I didn’t research the other lighter shades or the reds. If you have dark hair and are wanting to go lighter or some red shade, be sure to check if this brand’s lighter shades does lifting action. I just know how disappointing it is to see one colour on the box and not get the same result because the model started with a different shade. Usually for lighter shades, you have to bleach your hair first, and then colour it to whatever you want after. Just a note for some people who might not know that already. :)
