Q: is this ammonia free
submitted by verified buyer - 1 year ago
A: Yes this is ammonia free

Q: How many washes can I get from this
submitted by Vj - 1 year ago
A: The box says up to 28

Q: I’ve never died my hair before because I’m worried that I’ll miss my original hair color and never get it back to normal so I was looking into this because it washes out. After it washes out completely does it alter the original hair color any?
submitted by Farm girl - 1 year ago
A: It’s never gonna wash out completely. They say they do but it’s not true. There will always still be at least some remaining color. That being said, go slow and get one kinda close to your natural color if you’re worried :) this one is a little darker than the box shows which is often the case so keep that in mind. Colors with red in them are the hardest to remove from your hair and hardest to cover so if you see one with a little red…just know it’s a little more difficult. (This one doesn’t have red) One more thing, it’s a lot easier to go darker than it is to go lighter so try not to go too dark unless you’re SURE you want that color for a while. <3

Q: Does it have to be close to my natural hair color? I'm a natural blonde and I want a medium-dark brunette. Would that work or would it just look patchy or streaky?

Its been a month since dying my hair and my scalp is slowly healing from the the irritation this product has caused. My hair is falling out so much due to what i believe is a chemical burn!
Scalp irritation!

Hair ended up darker.
My hair was black to begin with, with no additional dyes. My hair turned out the same color but darker.

Gray hair still visible
I liked the gentleness and smell but it didn’t cover my gray hairLeft it on per directions, 20 minutes, and could still see the gray hairs. If you are looking to cover gray hair…keep searching

What happened to this product?
This used to be a great product. I've been using it for years. But recently the last two applications have turned my hair black. I have a soft brown color naturally. It didn't cover my whites at all, and now half of my hair is black. I think I'm going to have to find another ammonia free solution.

Dont buy this
I am not sure what happened but I ordered light brown and got the darkest brown/almost black color. It also isn’t rinsing much for Demi-permanent. I’m so upset. I am fair skinned and I look very washed out

New box dye girly
5A — First time I’ve use a box dye and I’d say the process went great. The color is great and I can’t believe the color is uniform despite having bleached highlights under also covered grays. The photos show my results in window and bathroom lighting. Grok recommended me this box dye. I’m glad I followed through!

Not true colour
The the colour is not true. I bought the medium Golden brown and it was very very dark. It’s so close to black even my hair was light brown and I wish to have a light golden brown so now I bought the 8A I hope it’s changed it and make it better. But the good thing that’s my hair is so healthy and gloaming and it’s not dry at all! confused about this brand.

Hi there! We want to thank you for trying our Clairol Natural Instincts; yet, we are truly saddened to learn of the darker-than-expected results. This is not the experience we want you to have, nor what we would expect. Using a clarifying shampoo, followed by a deep conditioner, can sometimes help fade the unwanted color more quickly. We also suggest that you avoid using heat (e.g., blow dryers, curling irons), which can further set the color. We would not recommend applying another shade over the dark results since color cannot lift color, and it would be likely for you to end up with even more unexpected results. So, 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 08000833338, and we would be glad to assist further.

Love the shade as it’s very close to my natural
I’ve been using it for years and I love it. I get compliments on it all the time! Only downside is gray comes through quickly.

Came out much darker than package. Also be careful when processing I’m sure this is normal but it’s very drippy and can get all over furniture. If this came with a shower cap or something it would have made this less stressful

There is NOTHING Auburn about the 6R Light Auburn.
There is NOTHING Auburn about the 6R Light Auburn. It is burgundy. It has violet tones (you see them during the pause time) in it and not an inch of orange/copper in sight. The picture on the box is totally misleading, I'm not happy. I had golden natural (my hair gets paler/golden during summer) hair and I wanted a redhead natural look for autumn. This is really annoying and frustrating.

Perfect! Nice and natural.
Natural Instincts Shade = 9 Light Blonde. Covered greys. My natural colour is mousey brown and I had approx 4 inches of roots to dye. The rest is bleached. This blends in so well. Delighted. No strong smells either. Hair feels lovely and soft. I left it on for approx 25 minutes, not the 15 recommended.

Too dark, but at least it covers the gray.
This product was great for covering the grays, but I ended up with a very dark brown head of hair instead of the light brown shade on the box. Way too dark and I am not happy with the color. Will have to try a dark blonde the next time to get the results I wanted.

I bought the 6.5g colour and it's perfect! I have lots of white hair and I've been searching for a products to blend the white pieces into my natural/original colour. I don't want to deal with salon visits and root coverage every couple of weeks. This is exactly a match for my hair and I look more like myself again. I'm in my 30's, so I'm not ready for a head of white hair just yet. My natural colour is a light auburn with some golden hues. Thanks Clairol! Please don't stop making this product!

Not dark brown
I love using clairol hair dye, this time I wanted to go darker and went with the color dark brown. It was in fact not dark brown. My hair came out as if I bought pitch black hair dye. I’ve been washing my hair everyday to get it out.

Good
This product is good for what it is. It will remain to be seen if I purchase again. I used it and I was complemented on my hair but ultimately it isn’t as rich as I was hoping. I needed in a hurry and it’s accessible so that is how I ended up using it in place of my normal, slightly more professional routine.

amazing, fave hair dye!
i love this dye so much! why? it’s not permanent, it smells awesome, doesn’t damage my hair, smells amazing, super easy to use and affordable. i have used this several times and love love it. it does leave more red in my hair than expected but my hair always leans red so maybe it’s my hair and not the dye. highly recommend!
