Not great
If I was hoping for blond I was wrong as my hair has turned out grey. I’ve only coloured my hair with nice and easy previously and it has been true to the colour on the packet but this is a million miles away. I’m not sure how I will be able to return my hair to blond again!! No shine either.

Easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this hair color kit is easy to use and came with all the items needed to complete the look. I let it sit for 45 minutes while it processed and then rinsed with warm water. My hair feels soft and conditioned. I definitely love the ashy tones it gave me. I'm already blonde..but this just enhanced the color so much

Blonde color that looks natural
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m already a blonde but it starts to get a little dirty looking. A quick at home kit is perfect to use. Low order not messy and you have a salon blonde right at home you can do yourself or have someone help you if needed.

Overall good but not for me.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall it I think the hairdye was good. It was easy to apply, had a nice consistency and I loved the colour but unfortunately the shade was a bit too light to really notice on my hair.

Works so well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hair dye took so well, the crown of my head was so grey! And the cost of highlights is now just too much. This took so well the coverage is unreal. My hair has been left feeling so smooth too, instructions are extremely clear and it smells so nice. The consistency is great and goes so far, I have very long hair. It dried really well and left zero breakage. A great product

Great results you can do at home
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A nice coverage evenly applied and left hair soft and a nice light tone for grey hair, a subtle tint and hair felt fresh and nourished after. Not harsh like some others. Easy to follow instructions and easy to apply. Great results you can do at home.

Fading too fast
I've tried this product three times and left it on a little longer each time-almost 45 min last time. No matter how I've applied it, it does not last more than 2 weeks. My hair is naturally white gray and the color fades beginning with 3rd shampoo. I'm disappointed because my hair was really nice the first few days.

Buyer beware.
I got this dye because I wanted to color my hair brown and not a light blond. My hair is natural light brown. I put the dye on at 11:06am and took it out at 11:36am. I then spent the next 2 hours trying to get it of my forehead, arm and both ears. My head itches like nothing I've ever felt. I washed off all the dye, showered too and still. Did all the tricks to remove it an acetone was the only thing that worked. The dye is darker than advertised. Medium golden brown. Idk if I will use this again after spiraling to get the dye off. I've been dyeing my hair since 1997.

Best Home Hair Dye Ever
I bought this a few months ago after my stylist left my salon and I was in shock and figured, well dang, may as well go back to coloring my hair again! As someone who has gone back and forth to home and professional stylists for decades this is absolutely 💯 worth it!!! Just follow the directions word for word 😊

turned my hair black
i wanted to lighten up my hair as i had been using darker dye from the same brand, so we lightened my hair and it was a copper ish colour, then we used 5.3 brown colour, and after washing it out, it turned my hair so dark and completely jet black. thoroughly disappointed. was trying to stray away from my hair being so dark as it washes me out. also, the bonding treatment at the beginning makes my hair so unbelievably tatty

Hi there! We do want to thank you for trying our Clairol ColorStrong line; yet, we are truly saddened to learn that you had darker results than intended! The use of a clarifying shampoo, followed by a deep conditioner can sometimes soften a color that is too dark. We also suggest that you avoid the use of heat (ex: blow dryers, curling irons) which can further set the color in. If the clarifying shampoo does not lift out enough of the color, please call to speak with one of our hair color experts! You can contact us at t 1-800-252-4765, and we would be glad to further assist.

Does NOT cover grays
This product did not have 100% gray coverage as advertised. Sadly a waste of money. Followed instructions precisely :(

Hi there! Thank you for trying out our Clairol ColorStrong line. The product is designed for 100% grey coverage; so, we regret to hear that was not the case for you. Covering grey can be factored on a few different reasons and we would be glad to help out further with this experience. You can give us a call at 1-800-252-4765 and we would love to help!

Great color, mild scalp discomfort
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, I would say this is a good product with nice color results and even coverage. I love how the color turned out on me. The only downside I had was mild scalp burning during processing time.

Multidimensional tones
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have dark blonde hair and it has a slightly warmer undertone which I don’t prefer. I like this ash blonde color that is easy to apply and cools down my color tone. This product was free for my review.

Pretty good at covering greys
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was really good considering my hair was a darker blonde to start with. Covered my few greys. My only complaint is that it really brought out the red undertones in my hair, but that’s more my fault.

Very happy with result! Gives deep nice coverage!
I got Darkest Brown 3.0. It covered my grey roots very nicely and perfectly with deep coverage, color blended into my natural hair color perfectly and pretty. Cream application was very easy to use without mess, and my hair looked healthy after coloring. I’m very happy with result!

Great Smell and Great Color
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have dyed my hair since I was 13, so well over 20 years now. I have tried my fair share of dyes, but this one was one of the best. There was no strong smell with it, and the precoverage cream smelled wonderful. There was no burning or itching while I waited for the required amount of time. When I rinsed it out and dried it the color looked great. I was a darker dirty blonde before, so I wondered how this color would work, and it looked great, no orangness or brassyness. Overall I loved this dye and plan to use it again.
