Clairol Professional Beautiful Collection Advanced Gray Solutions

I am super happy with this semi-permanent hair color. My goal is to grow out my gray underneath the semi permanent color so that I can one day wash out the color completely and see what’s going on there and then either have fun with semi permanent color or if I’m lazy or too old to care just let it go. I’m sorry about not posting a picture, but I’d rather not have my images on Amazon. Out of laziness I have been coloring my hair dark golden blonde with permanent color just so that the gray regrowth is less noticeable and I don’t have to color it the second it comes in. It’s been okay but I have felt a little washed out and I don’t like that red thing that happens at the roots when you lift to a couple shades lighter than your natural color. I think I’ve found the answer with using a combination of Rich Walnut and Golden Chestnut of this hair color. I start by using Rich Walnut on about the first inch of hair growth from my scalp. I do all of my roots this way and then using a gloved hand I put some Rich Walnut hair color and work it into the full length of just the darkest part of my hair in the back, underneath the hair that shows from the top. I am very careful to not put the Rich walnut on the top hairs – I want to keep them lighter. Then I work the Golden Chestnut into the rest of my hair, sometimes mixing a little Rich Walnut into it before applying it. I just make sure I have my whole hair saturated with the Golden Chestnut before starting the clock. It comes out beautifully! The roots are darker but it looks rich and natural – it’s kind of like adding low lights I guess. This method avoids that weird red roots issue but still gives you the lightness on top, like you’ve had highlights done. The transition from the dark to light color is very natural too, not abrupt. These particular colors are warm colors so if your skin can’t take a warm color this probably won’t work well, but for me it’s perfect. I really couldn’t be happier. I haven’t gone through a whole color cycle yet time wise. I bathe more often but I wash my hair 2x per week. I wash my hair now in the sink in cold water (no way I’m taking a cold shower haha) with sulfate free shampoo and the color is holding well, fading as expected but at a nice slow pace. This is the first semi permanent hair color that has stayed in my hair for more than a couple of washes. I am very, very happy.

Due to lockdown, I haven’t been to a hairdresser in over 4 months. I had almost given up hope on finding a hair colour that covered my greys. I came across this & at first, freaked out at the colour that went on as it’s quite a bright colour so didn’t leave it on for too long. I gradually used every few days as I didn’t leave it on the desired amount each time but it completely worked each time I did use it & since perfecting it, I have no more greys!!! Best product ever!

I was recommended to use a product like this to cover my greys. I have naturally dark brown hair, and I haven't colored in long enough-- and my hair is short enough-- that I had virgin hair. My hair definitely has less than 10% grey, but man are those greys shiny! They do stand out wherever they appear. I had thought about color depositing shampoo but figured I would try this first as a longer-term solution. I don't have anything against permanent color but am admittedly lazy about it. (I have two boxes of permanent color sitting in my bathroom that have been there for months.) I found this product really easy to use, and it is great that there is no mixing. It does smell a bit like typical hair dye but not really badly. I used less than half a bottle for my chin-length hair, so because there is no developer, I kept the bottle to use again in the future, making the cost for a bottle a good deal for me. My greys have been stubborn to take dye before, but I figured I would try the recommended 25 minutes to see what happened. The color took to the greys near the front of my head pretty solidly, but the ones in the back looked spotty. Honestly, that may have been application error, as I was very careful when working around my face but less so in the back. Therefore I suspect that if I did this again but was more careful in application, 25 minutes would probably be sufficient. However, for my hair color, making the greys sort of a golden blonde (which is what was recommended to me based on my natural hair color) didn't really have the intended effect. My greys are simply too sparse for it to come across like highlights, and the color is still so fair compared to my natural hair color that they stand out and don't look a heck of a lot different than they did when they were just grey unless you are looking carefully. I probably would have done better with a darker, warmer color, but honestly, I think I'm just going to use John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Color Glaze first to see how that goes. If that doesn't work for me, I'm going to try this semi-permanent color in a darker shade.

Listen if u want to cover ur greys this brand is amazing and it does not run all over ur face and scalp when u get sweaty

The Clairol color in Light Golden Chestnut for covering gray hairs blended well with Cedar Red Brown to create a soft red color perfect for Fall.

...as in it failed, but it didn't fail by much. I don't like dying my hair, but now that I have more noticeable sparkle in my hair I wanted to give it a try. The application process goes about as you would expect. I bought a bowl & brush and used gloves. I put it on dry hair for 45 minutes so that more of the gray would be covered. I got the Light Golden Chestnut which is what I had used in their original formula before (the original formula did nothing for grays). It took very orangey-red on my hair. Not at all the color I was expecting. The smell is irritating in general, too, which I'm not sure how long it will last. It did cover grays but also dyed my scalp, and since washing it will also fade the color that's a downside to using this color. Overall I might try again with a different color but not this color. The product arrived in good condition.

This umis my go to hair rinse. Have been purchasing for over 5 years will be buying more when needed

Product arrived without any packaging, just a little tube. Sadly it turned my scalp reddish orange. In fact my daughter commented on how bad my hair color looked. I purchased this to cover gray and allow for a gradually transition to all gray. It seems if applied to gray or almost white roots, it will turn them a reddish orange. Maybe it was the wrong color for me but I really wanted a semi permanent color that would allow gray growth. And this product didn't do this and it is more of a permanent color. No fading after 5 weeks. To update: this is definitely not semi permanent color. Almost 8 weeks later and this color has not faded. Sadly this is not what I wanted. Very orange and brassy. Beware. Update: 12 weeks later and the color has not faded. This is permanent hair color.

Easy to use and does not have an offensive smell but unfortunately, my hair become so dry and brittle.

Solo sirvió para manchar mi cortina del baño. Me alcanzó para 2 veces, la 1era seguí las instrucciones al pie de la letra (ponérselo en pelo lavado y húmedo, secado con toalla) pensé que lo había hecho mal porque no cubrió las canas, que no había usado suficiente cantidad. La 2da vez lo hice con cabello sin lavar y seco como indica la mayoría de los tintes, me alcanzó perfecto para cubrir todo el cabello y las canas siguen ahí! Una perdida de tiempo y dinero! Además de todo me mandaron un color diferente al que pedí.

Doesn't cover grey at all and washes out after 2 shampoos at best

Does the job but smells ammoniac

Bought this after watching a tik tok review and WOW highly recommend! I have mousey brown hair with grown out warm highlights and some greys coming in around my temples. The review I watched claimed it would make my greys golden and it did exactly that! It darkened and warmed up my already brunette hair and the blonde ends become a light auburn which I still loved. Greys blend amazing they look like highlights from the sunshine! 10/10
