Garnier Belle Color

My natural hair color is a dark blond, but as my mum and my sister I have the same huge problem, our hair start to change colors once it grows! So I end up with Dark blond on roots, orange on middle and blond on the ends, when I lived on Brazil, because the sun and sea water it was even worse! So I always needed to dye my hair. No different when I moved to London... Looking for a color very similar to mine I started to use Nice & Easy Dark cool blond, which worked at the beginning but notice that it fades too fast and with time didn't give me the same color, my hair was kind more of a brow and again started to fade to orange and blond ends... I was desperate to find a color that matched with my natural one and would take out the ginger tones, bought this for the reviews, even though said it was darker, more like a brown I decided to give it a go. Couldn't be more happy! It's veryyy similar to my natural color and I have no more oranges tones! On my hair it came out like a gray blond, but not plain, it gives a natural look, like if you have some highlights mixed, very nice indeed! [IMG]http://i59.tinypic.com/6t0m6g.jpg[/IMG]

Always good value, colour as expected, lasts well. 8/9 weeks between use so much cheaper than a salon!

The packet colour both on the front and 'what your hair will look like if it is'''''''''''''', bare no resemblance to the colour my hair is now after using this product, from the blonde shade that I had nor should I add there were much multi hues either. So I have thought alot about rating this product and you may ask why 4 stars? Well application is one of the best I have come across. The foam ones just seem to go runny no matter how many 'little shakes' I give them, and many of the others drip everywhere. This really does go on like a shampoo but thick enough that there are absolutely no drips, very good. Also I would add in here it has little of the usual chemical smell, some are quite overwhelming but this is OK. Next up is grey coverage, again best I have ever used. I am 40-50% grey now and this had even taken away the straggly ends of grey that used to get left behind with other products. Price, yes that is in the mix as I have to watch the pennies carefully and many of these hair colours seem to be creeping up price wise alarming. This was excellent value for money Hair texture. My hair is very fine, this seems to have restored some body to it and the conditioner used after applying the product is lovely. So all in all it might take a while for me to be brave enough to choose another colour in this range but hopefully next time the match box to hair might be more consistent. It would be a huge success with me if Garnier get this aspect right. Finally I am still using my blonde shampoo and conditioner and after about 3 washes some blond highlights are coming through and it is looking a little less golden brown, so that is a tip if others have found this too dark at the outset.

I have been trying for a long time to get a dye to hide the greys but match my original hair colour and here it is. At last I have found the perfect match. This is so easy to use with no mess or complications. After doing the patch test I used the product and my hair felt soft, clean & nourished and back to normal. A product well made, I love it.

I used this on my highlighted bleached hair, I was worried it might react bad to bleach so did a patch test first, it turned out lovely. I used it all over but only left it on for 20 minutes, came out a lovely dark ashy coulor, a tad darker than the box but my hair was practically white so that's probably why. If you're like me and using it on bleached hair but want a lighter ash blonde I'd leave it on for 15 minutes instead, I highly recommend this product, not only is it good value for money, my hair turned out soft, shiny and a lovely colour.

This was a life saver! I was bored so decided to bleach my hair which as you can see by the first picture did not go well. I wanted my natural Color back which was an ash dark blonde so though this would be perfect. As you can see in both the second and third pictures the colour came out amazing! It looks like it has been done at the salon and has highlights. Great product (I used 3 boxes as I have long hair)

The delivery could not have been quicker. Chemist Direct did an A1 job, thanks. The product was a disappointment. It smelt great , mixed easily and applied well. When I came to dry it however it was quite red. I dried it and it looked okay, but any sunshine on the hair and it was red again. I really wanted this product to work, but I am very ash and very fair. It is very difficult to find dark ash blonde and when you do they change it or it disappears. This is an okay shade if you colouring all over, but I only wanted to do the top where all my grey hairs are and it does show up the difference. Who knew mousey could be so difficult, I have reverted back to highlights.

A good hair dye that doesn't smell bad and works well. I wanted to lighten my Auburn hair and it did the job. I have thick hair so I use two at a time and the last one a month later to top up my roots. Great for the price and fast delivery.
