Natural Instincts Demi-Permanent Hair Dye, 6A Light Cool Brown | Ammonia‑Free, Vegan Hair Color with Coconut Oil & Aloe Vera | Pack of 1

Edit: I’ve used this Demi-permanent dye a few times now. It is definitely saving my hair from box dye damage bc it isn’t nearly as strong as permanent hair dyes. I have noticed there is zero damage after using this. My hair feels soft and shiny after using it. I have noticed that when it fades it kind of loses its brown and turns a tiny bit green (on me) but I got this in a neutral dark brown color. If you get it in a warmer time it “might” get a little brassy. My natural color is pure white gray. This also happens with permanent dye so I wasn’t surprised. If it fades and I’m not ready to do a permanent dye I just give the top of my hair a few spritz of temporary hair dye spray in dark brown. I like Schwarzkopf in dark brown better than other brands I’ve tried. Getting Demi premier dye is worth it for me. I’m growing my hair out and need it to be as health as it can be so I don’t need frequent trims. I think the way it fades is going depend on the color you choose and what color you’re putting it over. I use this every other time I dye my hair to decrease the effects of box dye damage. The color is right and matches my permanent dye color. It does wash out and will fade like it’s supposed to over a couple of weeks. I don’t wash my hair often so it actually lasts longer for me. My hair is 100% white- gray naturally so I was worried it wouldn’t cover my roots. Bc I dye it dark brown those roots really show. But It does cover them. It makes them brown but not as dark brown as a permanent dye. Way better than pure white though. I just came back and ordered 3 more boxes because I’m happy with it.

The hair color is vibrant and dark enough like I like it.. the snout is good for the price and comes with a leave in treatment that I never had somthing like this before .. left my hair colored and nourished at the same time south out that much harsh chemicals .. but guy buy

My hair is naturally a medium brown with some noticible gray hairs starting to come in so I used the 5 medium brown. I wanted something that only deposited color as my hair is very dry. I had completely virgin hair and was worried about using a permanent color. I am not very coordinated and was super worried about doing it myself but it was very easy! I washed my hair the night before and dyed it the next afternoon. It was easy to get the dye threw my hair. I didnt section but ran the bottle in between sections and kind of rubbed it in then squirted the ends and massaged in. I also put vaseline on my face and ears near my hairline and it wiped the dye right off when I was done. I used the conditioner it comes with after but since then I use a very thick hair mask for conditioner. I have very thick hair that goes to my elbows and I did need to use 3 boxes to cover all my hair. It came very uniform and covered my gray hairs. When I wash it, the color does transfer onto the towel so I would advise using a dedicated hair towel if you dont want to ruin all your towels. So far the grays are still covered but the color has faintly faded but looks very natural. I think I will get a month out of it but I only wash my hair 1 time a week. My technique might not have been the right way but it worked for me. I haven't dyed my own hair in 20 years so if I can do it I think anyone can 😆 definitely recommend this if you want to protect your hair from damage but get rid of grays! Picture is after 2 washes!

The Clairol Natural Instincts Demi-Permanent Hair Dye in Blue Black is an excellent hair dye that effectively covers grey hair and offers long-lasting color. The dye works similarly to other hair-dye kits - simply add the color gel to the bottle of color creme, shake, apply the dye to your hair, and allow it to sit for 25 minutes before fully rinsing it out. The resulting dye job is a rich and highly pigmented black color to your hair. The dye covered my grey and brownish-black hair well, and the color lasts for weeks. It leans more towards black than blue, even in bright sunlight, and the color hasn't faded even after daily washes. The only real indicator that I've dyed my hair is when my hair finally starts to grow out. I liked how this dye didn't have a cloyingly strong chemical scent, and there was plenty of dye to color all of my hair. Overall, it's a good quality dye kit that I would get again.

Shocked by how far this brand has come. I first tried them when I was a broke college student and had to sacrifice to buy a box, back then it was like $30+ a box and I really wanted to use more natural, less harsh chemical hair dyes. Back then (2012-2014) not only was it super expensive for just one box but the color pay off sucked. I was so upset I remember so it took me a while to come back. So glad I gave them another shot because I absolutely loved this hair dye wow! It had minimal bleeding once I washed it the first two times and that's super helpful. Plus the richness of the color is so good! Even after over a month the hair dye is staying put. Although I only wash my hair once a week. I was not expecting this to be as good as it was since it's a more "Natural" hair dye but it blew me away and i'm 100% only buying this brand moving forward. The 3 box deal is unmatched too. I was previously buying the 3 box deal with Revlon but this is my new jam. I think the standout pro of this hair dye is how it DOESN'T burn your scalp or stink too much. Hubby and I are ttc and I really can't be exposed to too many chemicals right now in case I do end up pregnant these months so I really needed something that wasn't going to be so corrosive. Big negative about this brand is that the grey coverage isn't that great. It does cover greys just doesn't erase them fully fully. So keep that in mind. I have nearly a full head of greys and this covered like 98.9% of my greys. There were a few leftovers here and there, maybe like 10 total. Very unnoticeable but if you're a perfectionist it will bother you.

Natural looking color, gradually fades, no damage. Smells so much better than typical dyes. It is quick and easy and your hair is left feeling and looking healthier than before. And it comes with a fairly large tube of a wonderful conditioner that you use once a week in between touch ups. I refuse to use any other dyes. And it leaves my hair healthier than the salon ever did, plus costs hundreds less.

I left it on my black straight hair for 30min, I literally had no color deposited 😪 but made my hair very manageable and soft for 2-3 weeks

Covers solid white nicely. You can see in one photo very gray wild hair, another where white hair frames my face. The orange sweatshirt is immediately after coloring and black shirt photo was taken a week and a half post-coloring. Two boxes of color every 3-4 weeks and the job is done. The color I use most often is Brown #5 and does a great job covering the white if the color solution is left on long enough… I have a lot of hair and one box just wasn’t cutting it. Gray came early for me and white soon followed… at 53 years old I just got tired of the white and needed a change. Sooooo… 35 minutes on the roots for box 1 and then the second box on the remainder of my hair for another 15 minutes. Done. When I followed the advised time on the box, my hair ended up very red… that’s always been how my hair holds color… red first. So I leave in much longer and it works perfectly ending up with a rich brown. The color does take a couple of washes before it looks just right to me but I get a lot of compliments from those who know me and also from those who don’t know my hair is actually white. Aside from adding extra time, the directions are simple. Put the gloves on and mix one bottle into the other bottle, give it a shake apply it to the roots first. Set your timer. It can be messy so watch out for that. Be sure to have towels at the ready for cleanup. Sometimes I use a Q-tip and put color on my eyebrows but I don’t always love the results. What I do love is that overall the process is easy and straightforward. The color treatment and conditioner give me shiny healthy hair and it smells nice. I like that it fades a little over the 3 weeks and doesn’t have a hard line where the new growth is. The color never fades all the way on the full length of my hair it just lightens. This option is much better than my friends and colleagues who pay a ton of money to get their “hair did” at the salon and have a white skunk stripe down their part while waiting for next appointment… waaaaay cheaper, better coverage, and more available, as in Amazon delivers and it’s easy peasy salon hour at my kitchen sink. Note that the color still saturates differently throughout the hair because of the different shades of gray and white that is applied to. So there’s still a natural depth in the color. Lessons learned: if you’re experimenting with leaving the color on longer, the main thing is each time write down or keep track of how long you leave the color on the roots plus then the extra time on the rest of your hair… It has never harmed my hair to leave it on longer, but since I want the roots to be darker than the rest of my hair I just experiment a little bit. So try until you get the time right. When you’re doing a touchup on your roots, you definitely still want to put some through your hair at the very end of the time…don’t skip that even if it is just 5 min. If you don’t, the rest of your hair will be dull and lackluster. And during root touch-ups you definitely also do not want to leave the color on alllll of your hair the whole time that you have it on the roots. It will get super super dark, and the roots will be lighter where the color has only been once… unless that’s what you want. I’m not sure how it’s possible with two boxes of color, but I always find a way to miss a few random strands of silver. Watch the forehead and temple hairline color also and it will help the results look more natural. I keep experimenting/adjusting the time (mostly because I’m impatient) and am very very happy with the color every time.

First time trying this product after researching plant based and least damaging hair dye. The dark brown variant covered my greying roots blending nicely with my previous colour. Followed the instructions carefully and timely especially my hair has become brittle due to previous dyeing and chemical treatments. No itch or allergic reaction. The treatment included which I applied only to the coloured roots left my hair soft. The tube last me quite a few washes. Highly recommended. Im about to repurchase to replenish my supply. Thanks 😊
