wow, this is horrifying. i just used the dark blonde color on light blond trying to go back to my natural color. my hair felt tangled and straw like and i dropped some solution on my shoulder and it broke out in hives. I am hoping it wont get worse, i have never in my life had a reaction to hair dye…

This produce is a waste of time and money. I have naturally pale ash blonde hair which was a bit greyish after this Winter. I picked up colour 9A for £7 and excitedly used it as I had read so many amazing reviews. WRONG. My hair is now orange and very brassy, I am UTTERLY DISAPPOINTED. Don’t buy this product if you’re as gullible as I am. It’s wrecked my locks. ):

I used this product 5 weeks ago. I have fine, THIN hair and this dye made my hair thicker, fuller, healthy. I am naturally blonde and used the lightest blonde. Color wasn’t exactly as box, but not too bad. Only downfall? It lasted only a week and a half. Color came out waaaaay too quick. If not for that, I’d be a regular customer of this product.

I bought this product and after reading the reviews I am afraid to use it. It is really that bad.

i just bought this a few days ago. sounded like a great hair dye to try after i had my hair color glossed at the salon for 65.00 and LOVED IT!!! my hair was a darkkk brown with alot of shine..but only looked so nice for about the 1st 3-4 days then it got alot lighter and started to show my golden brown to fast so i went and grabbed me this box & one other. Now since i read the horrrrrible reviews it is def goin back! i only got it cause it sais glossy and i was hoping it would last longer for a cheaper price. if it’s that bad..hopefully others will look elsewhere to keep your beautiful hair in it’s best possible shape & leave this product on the shelves, glad i can get my money back..cause it was pricey!

Re: hair turning gray, adding color to already bleached hair isn’t easy and is best done professionally – simply using a darker shade will often result in a mess because there is a very specific manner in which the pigment in the hair can be built up again. (I learned this the hard way just as many of you of course). In a salon they often use two different dyes, first to add some warm tones into the hair and then the darkener to feed off the established tone – you definitely can’t just use a dark blonde dye on light blonde hair and expect it to look like it does on the package.

Same rules apply when you are trying to switch from very dark to very light – it simply doesn’t work with an over-the-counter coloring kit.

I used Perfect 10 as an alternative to my usual L’Oreal preference, to touch up my roots and to freshen up my lightest blonde hair tone. I found that despite the nice smell it by no means surpassed L’Oreal products, but I didn’t have any horrible experiences with it either. The hair looks quite shiny and the tone is very even. I did feel the tangled mess a bit, but that was easily resolved with a couple of rounds of conditioning washes – nothing unlike any other drugstore brand other than L’Oreal. All in all, I will probably not be using this product again as a first choice, but it’s not a bad alternative if it happens to be on sale.

I am extremely disappointed in this product. After my first wash, I, like a few others here, had hair like straw and it tangled easily. THEN, when I went to straighten my hair with my flat iron, I am now left with greasy, sticky hair, and the stuff – whatever it is in the hair color that is making my hair greasy and sticky, won’t come out!!! I’m livid and I’m contacting Clairol for sure. This stuff is terrible.

I used Perfect 10 in medium auburn flash a week ago and loved the results. I got a lot of compliments. It left my hair very soft and shiny and I didnt get any uneven results. For the ladies who complain about streaks in their hair color, I would suggest maybe using 2 boxes of haircolor. Never try to go lighter with an at home hair color kit unless it specifies that is a color-lifting or highlighting kit.For example, if you have dark brown hair and you want a hint of red, get the dark auburn, not the mediumor light. This will prevent the orange appearance or any “hot roots”. Unfortunately, the only way to fix an orangey mess is to cover it up with a darker neutral color. I hope this helps everyone. There are always rules to follow when dying your hair and if you are unsure about them, then by all means, seek professional help!!!! GOOD LUCK
