Clairol Natural Instincts Semi Permanent Hair Colour Reviews

I wanted to try this to cover a few greys that are showing! It left my hair feeling like I have been to the salon! It’s so glossy and shiny!

I wrote a review last night, but I can’t find it intended to add part 2!So this is part two, so I’ll do the first part again as well. First of all ,there was no smell as stated on the box which was nice. Definitely no ammonia and no strong yukky smells in fact, subtle coconut I think. It was very easy to apply and make a suds like shampoo , although I must say I like to have somebody to help me at the back of my head, and to let me know if I flicked dye my hair over my face by mistake as the dye sets quickly, so you need to wipe it off for the warm flannel as quick as you can. DEFINITELY wear the gloves provided ! My natural hair is very dark brown and I found this colour actually made my hair almost black, but it looks still very natural.One thing I love is the feel of the conditioner too . Very soft & could use a small amount x have heaps fir a few conditions…It makes my hair feel soft , and my hair feels slightly thicker today too ,( great for not so thick hair ) and it is really shiny even my kids noticed!. I will definitely use this again. I would probably choose a slightly lighter colour for me, and I found it covered my greys really well.love to knowing also it has aloe Vera and coconut & no added parabens . So lots healthier for your scalp . Happy !

I had never used a semi permanent hair dye before so I was interested to see how it would perform but sadly I was not happy with the results.

On the plus side I loved that when I was applying it that it didn’t have an overpowering smell like most hair dyes and when my hair was dry it had made my hair softer and shinier than it was.

The lengths of my hair turned a nice colour but my dark roots were still pretty dark so I feel like it was a waste of time using this dye.

On arrival I had a good read of the light green packaging. Nice to see contents that I could understand. Aloe Vera and coconut oils, which can leave your hair nourished and soft. Up opening and mixing there was no harsh smell that you normally get upon mixing. The cream was thick but runny enough to spread easily on my head, and yes I managed to do my own hair with the applicator. One package managed to coat my long hair evenly and gave good coverage. The scent wasn’t strong like some dyes have, it was pleasantly surprised. The cost was comparable to a permanent dye you purchase and still get a month or so from it before the greys start showing hopefully. I was pleased with the overall colour of my hair, and how it felt afterwards. The aloe and coconut made my hair soft and manageable rather than stiff and dry like other dyes. It would be nice to see after a month of washing that my colour on the grey is not gone, it would be good to update for this. I currently recommend it to those who wish not to have strong chemicals on their hair.

I love that it has 80% natural ingredients, that is the first big tick for me as I am always really weary about what I put on my hair. It also means there is no nasty chemical smell. The colour provided the coverage I was expecting and left my hair feeling smooth and soft. I felt confident going out!

I usually use another permanent colour by Clairol so was interested to try something different. As the name suggests, the Natural Instincts colour didn't have any harsh chemical smell. The colour mixed easily and was ready to apply in a few seconds.

I felt this was a little more difficult to apply as the other colour I use is a thicker mix and tends to "hold" the hair up better when you're applying the colour to the under layers. Whereas with this one I kept having to battle bits of hair getting in the way.

Having said this, the colour was very even and consistent and covered all the grey (yay!). As it's still early days I don't know how long the colour will last for. It was slightly darker than I anticipated but most box colours generally are in my experience. As it washes out it will no doubt fade a little.

I really liked the natural feel and smell and I do like the colour, even though it's darker!

Well its a long time since I have used a semi permanet hair colour on my hair, so I was feeling a bit apprehensive, but after reading the instructions it seemed fairly straight forward , and so I began, I left it on my hair for 20 minutes, but I actually think my hair needed a bit longer, but Clairol Natural is very natural I was really surprised at how soft my hair was after I had finished, , Time will tell how well it washes but for now the colour is nice and natural, and the brillant shine conditioner really feels nice on your hair, I would recommend this product .

I have long wavy hair which has a high percentage of grey around my face and temple areas . l like to blend tge grey in with my dark to medium blonde hair . So the overall effect is natural . I tried the number 8 Medium blonde it's some where in-between my true colour and lighter areas. It's such a gentle natural formula, which blended away my grey and root line Great that there is no ammonia in the product aswell Definitely will try again instead of spending a fortune at the hairdresser, and not getting what l asked for! Will post photos of my results

This hair dye sure is different that others on the market. I absolutely love how it contains 80% naturally derived ingredients with no ammonia or parabens. The unboxing and mixing process is much like other boxed dyes without the strong smell. It was easy to apply, I waited the required time and washed out. The conditioner left my hair feeling fantastic! The only downfall is that I wanted to cover all my greys that had come through. I dyed my hair and went to get a hair cut the next day and the dye cover all of my greys. It gave it a good go but missed some. I would use this again definitely.
