Clairol Natural Instincts Demi-Permanent Hair Dye, 5 Medium Brown Hair Color, Pack of 1

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!

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.

This medium brown #5 demi hair color was exactly what I was looking for. I have medium to dark brown hair, with about 40-50% grey. I hadn't colored my hair in 2 years and I was looking for a demi color to darken my grey hair back to medium brown, which this did! I will say, that for the first week it looked more of a dark brown, then gradually faded more to a medium brown. Its been 4 weeks now (washing hair 5x a week) and its still almost all covered, and they greys have taken on a bronze/golden brown color now. Perfect for me!

I've bought this item multiple times. I appreciate that it's not filled with harsh chemicals. However, it doesn't cover grey for more than 3 weeks. I use this to cover roots. I've added time to the recommended time and it still doesn't last very long. Would like it better if it lasted longer; upward to 6 weeks.

Easy to use and gentle on hair. The formula feels mild and does not leave hair dry. The color looks natural and the shine after coloring is nice. The only downside. The color result is not strong. If you expect a bold change or strong coverage, the effect looks soft and subtle.
