Dissapointed
I don’t like leaving a one star review but I was expecting this to color my hair any shade of purple but the product literally washed out of my hair. I did every step exactly as it told me to and my hair did not dye at all. I am extremely disappointed and I just wasted 2 hours of my life for my hair to look the exact same.

Hi Lindsey. We apologize you were not satisfied with the results you achieved with Soft Sheen Carson Dark & Lovely Fade Resist Rich Conditioning Hair color.. We know how disappointing it can be to look forward to a new application of color only to find that your results are not what you expected. Frequent shampoos, exposure to sun, pollution, salt water, chlorine-treated pools, permanent waves, blow-drying and hair straighteners can cause artificial color to fade. Please reach out and speak to or hair color specialists @800-442-4643 M-F 9am to 5pm EST and have the product with you when calling. We look forward to hearing from you.

Disappointing Color Accuracy
I grabbed the Virtual Violet shade to refresh my violet hair and touch up my roots, but it came out magenta instead. The color was way off and didn’t match what’s shown on the box. Pretty disappointed since I was just trying to maintain the color I already had.

How is this vegan
I’ve dyed my hair with different brands. This “vegan” formula is the only one that made my head feel WEIRD for hours until I went back home, washed again and applied coconut oil all over my scalp. I believe it left a chemical burn. My hair was heavily dried out. It came with a nourishing, natural ingredient hair mask, that did absolutely nothing. Will definitely never use or refer this brand again. Color didn’t come out right, and already washed out after 2 weeks.

Saddened
I wanted to love this but this was a slight miss for me. My hair is naturally a soft brown and I purchased 378-Honey Blonde. It BARELY tinted my hair and I left it in for 30mins. Kinda disappointed - the box color result images are way off. Will possibly use a lighter color but of this line of go back to using L’Oréal Féria.

I absolutely loveeeeee this color! It came out more like a magenta and it looks stunning in my opinion. I’m sure when I re apply it in another 8 weeks, the pink will even be more noticeable. I’ve used dark and lovely on my hair for years and I recommend keeping the dye on longer than 30 mins. The color will last longer. After about 5/6 weeks it will turn into a copper like color. Still pretty.

shade is vibrant and rich
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m genuinely impressed with the results. First off, the color payoff is stunning. The Reality Red giving my hair a bold yet natural-looking red hue that really pops. It’s not too orange or too pink, which can be a concern with red dyes, but a true, deep red that flatters a wide range of skin tones. The color is also incredibly shiny, which makes my hair look healthier and more vibrant. The application process was easy and straightforward. The formula is smooth and easy to distribute, and the included conditioner left my hair feeling soft and nourished. My hair didn’t feel stripped or dry after the coloring, which I’ve experienced with other dyes in the past. What I really love about this product is how well it holds up over time. I’ve been using this for several weeks now, and the color has remained rich without significant fading. It’s true to its "fade resist" claim, which is a huge plus for anyone who wants their color to last longer between touch-ups. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to try a striking red shade without compromising on hair health.

Nope
I usually get the lightest blonde then out a rinse over to get the cookie I want. I decided to use Honey Blonde and it is a complete upset. Started from the back and work my to the front. My front edges took fine but my new growth slightly got light(I have dark brown hair). Gray coverage some but not the ones I was hoping for. Oh and it was super runny. Mind you I put the color on them prior to starting because I did not want to be disappointed. In the end I'll go back to the lightest blonde. This was a waste of money for two boxes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn’t get the chance to use this because I did receive the bleach kit and I decided to just leave it bling for the most part but this dye is definitely worth it .!

JUST GET IT
Went from dark brown to this beautiful honey blonde. I had to leave the product more than recommended on the box to get the color. But overall pretty nice.
