Instincts Clairol Demi-Permanent Hair Color Dye Cream Kit - 4 Dark Brown, Nutmeg: Vegan, Ammonia-Free, Contains Vitamin E, Contains Coconut Oil

I love this hair color because it's ammonia free and doesn't irritate my scalp; however, I find that it's not 100% effective at covering my Grey's! if you're getting it just to darken your natural color, go for it!.

This is more like black hair dye not brown at all. Super disappointed

The color was coming out for DAYS after I washed it!! I ruined 2 pillowcases :(

Turned my hair black -- it's terrible. So disappointed, wish I'd read these reviews first. Beware!!!

Suits me and color needs for covering grey into my very dark black brown hair. My hair holds the.color for many weeks, as i dont wash it frequently, love that it is more of a stain and not permanent. Customer for 5 years. Good product with good color results Pamm

This is my second box and I am so happy with the results. I left it in for around 25 minutes this time and it took so much better. 15 minutes isn’t long enough to cover my grey, so leaving it in for longer is definitely the way forward for me. It’s left my hair in great condition, soft and silky.

The smell isn't even ammonia

I bought this in the color copper sunset because typically I use Clairol’s Textures & Tones to dye my brunette hair ginger. This dye made my hair BLOOD ORANGE. It’s honestly closest to the color red than to orange, let alone ginger. Giving it 2 stars because I don’t exactly *hate* it, but it really gave me a shock when I stepped out of the shower. I’ll probably have to end up dyeing over it. Really disappointed. :(

I have been using this color for a few years. I just decided to but caramel brown and try it out and i am hoping i like it as much as warm brown. I have been using Natural Instincts for about ten years. I haven’t had a bad experience except once and it wasn’t bad technically speaking. It was just not my usual color. But that was me experimenting with my hair color and not because of the product. My hair always looks so good when i color it. It looks very natural and people ask where i go get my hair done. BUT i leave the color on for ten extra minutes to get it to color the gray a bit more. I don’t think it’s because the developer time is wrong. It’s because of what else you use on your hair or have in your hair when you color it. That’s my theory anyway. I make sure i get a color that matches my skin. I go with a lighter color than my hair was when i was younger. I think of my hair as medium to dark brown but i use light brown shades of Natural Instincts. It’s not that the product color is off because if i use the darker shades it will absolutely match my original natural hair color from 20 years ago but it’s too much now. I think my skin isn’t vibrant enough to compete or something like that. My hair always improves immediately after i color it. I can’t wait to color it because i know my hair will frizz so much less. And it’s shiny too. I wash my hair every day so i get about a month before i start planning on coloring it.

Excellent coverage, doesn't drip and shiny hair when done.

After Clairol killed their men's line they recommended this as a substitute. Sadly, this does a terrible job on grey coverage and it's runny to the point of being nearly unusable for shorter hair

It’s similar to my natural color

I am very upset. This is way too dark and ruined my hair. I look like Morticia from the Munsters.

Never been so upset by a hair dye product. I was trying to cover light pink hair and this product turned my hair jet black. Washed it out for 30 minutes and no lifting. I was trying to somewhat match my natural hair, now my hair is stuck black just 3 weeks before prom. Super disappointed!

Not happy with this product at all. I bought the golden dark brown. Box showed it with brown hair.I should get a dark brown. Even though I followed the instructions to letter, I ended up with an auburn. It's been almost 5 months now. The no commitment to color does not work. I washed my hair between thirty five and forty times and I now have orange light auburn color now, a white gray skunkline. It does not rinse away with wash.And now I find myself in a situation where I have to get my hair dye back to it's normal gray color. I only bought it after several years of gray for a special event. And felt that it did not stand up to its promise.

I use 6c, Brass-free Light Brown, and I love it- my hair has a few stubborn greys that tint as 'hilights' but the coverage is excellent, shiny not dull, lasts well overall and IS BRASS-FREE!!! Super grateful they make this shade!

Purchased light brown(6) and it completely covered my grays & helped blend old hi lights. It’s a lot darker than expected though. Next time I may try dark blonde.

I’m a natural blonde, but now that I’m older my hair has lost a lot of shine and vibrancy. This makes me feel young again! All the Natural Instincts products tend to go warm on me, so the brass-free or cool tones are best. Wish they made a cool, light blonde. I like the way it gently washes out over time so there’s less of a demarcation. Been using for years

I have ruined my brown hair. This is not brown dye, it turned my auburn brown hair jet black. I only left it on 15 minutes. I am so sad ! It’s not fading at all. I will have to go to a professional to remove this color, my hair is so ugly !

bought 6 suede, turned my gold hair black.
