Like the plenty of other reviews that I wish I saw before buying this, this is NOT the color I paid for. It’s so dark and it’s not even close to what I expected and I did everything right. Super frustrated.

Got this in a lunch to cover greys as I did not have time for a salon appointment. Came out at least a shade darker than expected and got maybe 70% grey coverage. Looking forward to it washing out. Would not use again.

CCR2 - 23 days ago, Verified purchaser
I liked that this didn’t burn or irritate my scalp like other at-home dyes. The color was VERY dark (basically black - not brown at all). WARNING: THIS BLEEDS! I thoroughly washed it out and it bled all over my pillow cases and continued to bleed out in the shower for 4 days! It ruined the sheets and I had to deep clean my tub and shower to remove all the color stain. Would NOT recommend because of the constant bleeding and too dark of coloring.

I'm sensitive to chemicals and usually dread coloring my hair but this color was gentle, easy to use and no harsh smell. The color is rich and beautiful. It covers grays and my hair feels shiny and like silk! Please never change this!!! I used color 6 suede.

Had medium brown hair with highlights and bought medium brown demi permanent dye. This turned my hair the darkest shade of brown that won't wash off quick enough. I don't recommend it to any brunettes. Not that washable, 20 minutes is way too long.

New product in green box is not the same, boo!

The new package isn't the same at all. I've been using this product for years, thru a previous package change, and always been satisfied. Now it looks and feels different, formula is thinner and cheaper. The conditioner is thinner and cheaper too, this I know for sure as I had a tube from the last (old style) box and the consistency is NOT the same comparing tubes. My hair normally looks amazing, shiny, is soft and manageable. Not the same results at all from new packaging. Drier, tangled, not as shiny. What ever you did to the formula is terrible, change it back!

I mix this with 5c to cover my 85-90% gray hair. (I'm assuming by root line.) I have near zero porosity which absolutely affects how much dye gets deposited and I have to leave it in for longer than average. The homebrew dual-tone pairs perfectly wirh my cool-undertone fair skin. I've used Natural Instincts for over 10 years now, slowly letting go of the auburn tones that stopped working once a certain amount of hair started graying out. My hair grows fast and I have to touch up once a month but I love the condition my hair is in after using the dye and conditioner.

Hot roots!

I used Natural Instincts for many years and loved it, but I only recently tried the new ammonia free formula in 6.5 G, the color I've been using for gray root touchup, and something was terribly wrong. It had small beads of purple color throughout that simply wouldn't mix up properly. Having not used it before, I continued to follow instructions and wound up with hot roots that were distinctly pink!! I had to use a permanent hair color over the roots the next morning to try to mask that horrible pink. Now I have extra boxes of the Natural Instincts 6.5G left and am going to have to throw them away. I can't take the chance of pink roots again. This was a total waste of my money and time. Needless to say, I'm truly disappointed and now looking for another product to use at home.

I have dark brown with a few grays. I used dark warm brown color. It turned my brown hair more of a strong reddish tone (which I don’t hate but wasn’t expecting). It didn’t change any of the gray. The conditioner is nice. But I definitely don’t recommend if you want to hide a few grays.

I used light cool brown 6A on my grey roots. It looked like my hair color on the box, but the finished color was a weird green-yellow-brown. It was awful.

Love this product. I used it many years ago, and I feel this formula is much improved. My hair is softer, shinier and has more body. It is more gentle on my hair. My only complaint is the viscosity. It's too thin and runny in my opinion. Otherwise, I would have given it 5 stars.

I have been a regular user of this product which I loved but feel something has changed in this formula. It doesn't cover greys as well as it use to and gives more of a red tint. It also causes my scalp to itch and finding my hair is falling out more. Does this now contain ppd as other sites claim it doesn't

Hi there! We would first like to thank you for your loyalty to our Natural Instincts over the years. However, we are truly saddened to learn of your disappointment. We would like to let you know that the Natural Instincts formula has not been changed in a few years since the switch to the cream formula. However, the Natural Instincts is a demi-permanent hair color that is designed to only blend grey up to about 35%. Nonetheless, we want to let you know that consumer safety is, and always has been, our first priority and each product must meet our stringent safety and efficacy standards. Your experience is atypical and it would be helpful for our Quality Assurance team to evaluate this experience further. When you have a moment, please give us a call at 0800083338 so we can better help!

Used this and it DID NOT cover the gray. I follwed directions and left in 5 extra minutes. Now I have to attend a Family Event with gray roots. So UNHAPPY
1 reply from Clairol team - 3 months ago
Hi there! Thank you for using our Natural Instincts, but we regret that the color did not give you the grey coverage you were expecting. Since the Natural Instincts is a demi-permanent hair color, it is only designed to help to blend grey up to about 35%, but does not allow for full grey coverage. If you would like 100%, full grey coverage, we would recommend using our permanent product which is the Nice 'N Easy. We would be glad to help you out further with this experience, and we would always be glad to help find the right product and shade for you. If you wish to call us, you may do so at 1-800-252-4765. We are always more than happy to help!
