Do not use! Awful product
My hair is naturally a chocolate brown and I’ve had my hair tinted black twice professionally. Last time was back in April. My roots were coming and my hair had faded through, so I decided to buy this hair dye and try box dying myself to get a few shades lighter. I read lots of reviews on different dyes and this one came the highest reviewed. I also was told to choose a colour two shades lighter as box dye always comes out dark upon the first wash.What a mistake that was. My roots are now a gingery lightish brown and the rest of my hair is still black!!!!! I don’t recommend anyone with professionally tinted hair to use this. Not only have I ruined my hair and wasted money, I now have to go back to the salon to correct this which will cost even more money and ...

Good if applied on all of the hairs
I tried it on my grey hairs which is in parts of my head. I did not apply it to my whole hairs but only to the parts where it were grey/white. After washing, it looked really bad as it didn’t match the rest of my hairs and were really standing out. They were looking very odd so I applied again to my whole hairs and after washing it was not bad. It covered all my hairs in same colour and it’s been 2 weeks since I coloured them. Now the colour is wearing out and I can again see the greying hairs. My only worry is that I had to put the colour on my not greying hairs as well else it was looking very odd and different from my original hair colour. It’s not that I choose the wrong colour but the end result doesn’t look natural when applying only on grey hairs. Thank you ... MoreI tried it on my grey hairs which is in parts of my head.

Great easy to use home hair dye kit
I love this hair dye, it fully coloured my hair to a rich deep red and the dye and conditioner left it soft and silky, despite it being damaged through dying, bleaching and heat styling. I would definitely choose this product again but I would prefer a lighter red as this colour is a little dark for my skin tone.I used the gloves and mixed up the colour as directed. It was easy and mess free. The product was thick enough to stay on my head without dripping and it had a pleasant smell and foamy feel. It was easy to push it down onto my roots. I left it for 25 minutes as directed and then washed it off thoroughly (again very easy) and then applied the conditioner and left it on my hair for 5 minutes before rinsing.

If you like orange....
Where to begin... I have (or had) natural ginger hair. I hadn't dyed it for over 20 years as I actually began to like my natural colour.It had recently felt a little dull and the tone I chose was almost exactly my hair colour so I though it might add a little brightness to my natural colour. What it did was shocking.I don't know how it managed it but it lightened my hair making it almost bright orange! It looked so unnatural that I cried.I let it sit for a few days hoping that it might tone down a little but it didn't so I had to purchase more dye. The only darker tone being reddy brown so, now my once beautiful hair is unnaturally copper brownish and I have to live with that.I followed all instructions carefully and left the dye on for the time described.The ...

My hair feels healthy but the color came out wrong
I used Nice n easy 8A medium ash blonde on my naturally dark ash blonde hair. When it first dried it looked like I dyed it 6.5. It seems to be getting a little lighter with each wash, I think it’s a 7 now. So hopefully it’ll eventually get to the color it’s supposed to be. I usually use L’Oréal preference 8A and my hair ends up exactly the color on the box. However, my hair looks and feels healthy after the nice n easy, which it definitely doesn’t after I use the L’Oréal preference hair color. And the nice n easy smells so much better and didn’t bother my scalp at all. So despite the problem with the color, I’d try nice n easy again. My hair is very fine, curly, and high porosity. So maybe that’s why the dye took too well. Maybe I need to try a lighter color or not ... MoreI used Nice n easy 8A medium ash blonde on my naturally dark ash blonde hair.

Natural Colour
Used this product as my greying hair coming through mostly at the roots. Mixture very easy to mix full instructions enclosed along with gloves and a conditioner for when completed. I put the product mainly on my roots but near the end combed it right through my hair so to blend. Overall quite a good coverage although some grey hairs didn't colour properly and not sure why as there was plenty product and head was completely wet with solution.I left on for the recommended 25 mins rinsed etc in shower and then used the conditioner and left in for 2 mins then rinsed off . My hair looks good on the whole but grey hairs at the side did not take colour well. But overall I'm pretty happy for it being a home kit and result was about 90% overall coverage.

Not the greatest but ok
I’ve not tried Nice n Easy before so was quite excited to try this. I’ve coloured my hair at home for years so have a bit of experience even if the application isn’t always 100% perfect.The application method was much the same as other brands I have used so that was easy enough. I mixed it up and squirted mixture into a tub and applied using tinting brush.I left the colour on slightly longer at 35 mins as I have many stubborn greys. After that time I rinsed out and applied the conditioner and left that on for 3 mins then a final rinse.The result after drying my hair looked pretty good from a short distance but from a closer look it hadn’t achieved full coverage sadly which I can get with my regular colour. This I felt was a bit disappointing and would ... MoreI’ve not tried Nice n Easy before so was quite excited to try this.

Orange hair! Not the same colour and formula
They've messed with the colour and formula. I have fine dark brown hair with natural red undertones. I purchased Medium Ash Brown 5A to lighten my hair a couple of shades and cancel out the natural red in my hair. Firstly, the blue bottle is gone and it's a tube you have to squeeze into the bottle, so more fuss. As it was developing the foam looked reddish which was odd, then the end result was light - medium orange/red hair, exactly what I don't want! There are no cool tones or ash colour just warm orange/red especially at the roots. This was applied to natural hair. I've been using this shade for years and they've changed the formula, colours and packaging, it's all worse. I checked online and others are saying the same, that this is a warm shade.

My scalp has been sore all day. How could they go so wrong? The best was the original formula when it was owned by P&G. I'm so upset and disappointed with this hair shade, it will need correcting and more time wasted and damage to my hair. This is not an ash brown but an irange/red brown, so misleading of Clairol, read other reviews before purchase.... Show more

SURPRISED!! AMAZINGLY RICH COLOR!
I was very worried as I'd let my gray roots grow out about 2 inches. I was expecting "hot roots" which is when the roots, because they are SO MUCH LIGHTER than the rest of the hair, turn out a few shades lighter than the rest of hair. NOT SO! I have rich, lush EVEN color coverage by following the directions on the box to the letter. I've tried many leading, more expensive brands but Clairol Nice & Easy 'Dark Auburn, 4R' , is the absolute WINNER, HANDS DOWN, for beautiful, rich color that looks natural. Not too brassy red and looks natural. I am 62 years old and have been dying my hair for over 20 years . You won't be disappointed with this product. I also use the Clairol Nice & Easy Root Touch Up in 4R Reddish Brown if I don't wait too long and the roots are an inch ... MoreI was very worried as I'd let my gray roots grow out about 2 inches.

This review is for both products. Clairol is my tried & true go-to for excellent coverage & lovely 4R Dark Auburn color!... Show more

Surprising Fantastic Result!
Have been using 10b for a couple of years on chin length hair, but got bored with the colour & wanted to go back to my natural colour. So I purchased the 7cb, did a strand test (I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU DO THIS) from the strand test I worked out that after applying all over hair including darker roots (4 mins) I only needed the 7cb on for a further 20 minutes to reach the exact same colour as on the front of the box(matching my natural colour). My root regrowth of 1cm now exactly matches the rest of my hair perfectly! I have used 7CB in the past & I have noticed that the longer you leave it on the more it turns Auburn colour (I used to leave it on for 45 minutes & it turned quite dark Auburn. So really do try a strand test as you can really use your timing to get ...

This is the first time I have done a strand test & have coloured my hair for 35 years with nice & easy permanent, I really didn't realise that how long you leave on the colour can TOTALLY change the results! I have learned something new today!!!... Show more
