ClairolNice'n Easy Permanent Hair Dye, 5RB Medium Reddish Brown Hair Color, Pack of 3

As someone who frequently dyes their hair at home, I recently tried the Clairol Nice’n Easy Permanent Hair Dye in the shade 6R Light Auburn. Here’s a detailed review of my experience with this product.Packaging and Instructions: The hair dye comes in a well-organized kit that includes the color cream, color activator, conditioning treatment, gloves, and detailed instructions. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, making the application process straightforward even for those new to home hair coloring.Application: The gloves provided are of good quality and fit well, which is crucial for a mess-free application. Mixing the color cream with the activator was simple, and the resulting mixture had a smooth consistency that was easy to apply. The dye spreads evenly through the hair without dripping, and the application brush made it easy to reach the roots and evenly distribute the color.Color Result: The 6R Light Auburn shade turned out to be a beautiful, vibrant red with natural-looking undertones. The color was true to the box, providing a rich, warm auburn that wasn’t too overpowering. My hair had a noticeable shine and looked healthy post-dye. The multi-tonal color effect added depth and dimension, giving a salon-quality finish at home.Coverage: One of the standout features of Clairol Nice’n Easy is its excellent gray coverage. It effectively covered all my gray hairs, blending them seamlessly with the rest of my hair. The color was even from root to tip, without any patchiness.Conditioning Treatment: The included conditioning treatment is a fantastic addition. After rinsing out the dye, the conditioner left my hair feeling incredibly soft and manageable. It has a pleasant scent and added an extra layer of shine to the hair, enhancing the overall result.Longevity: In terms of longevity, the color has held up well over several weeks. It hasn’t faded significantly, and the vibrant auburn tone remains intact. The conditioning treatment provided also helps in maintaining the color’s vibrancy and the hair’s health over time.Value for Money: Clairol Nice’n Easy offers excellent value for money. The quality of the dye, the richness of the color, and the comprehensive kit make it a cost-effective alternative to salon coloring. Given the professional-looking results and long-lasting color, it’s well worth the price.Overall Impression: Clairol Nice’n Easy Permanent Hair Dye in 6R Light Auburn is a standout product for home hair coloring. Its ease of application, vibrant and true-to-box color, excellent gray coverage, and added conditioning benefits make it a top choice. Whether you are looking to cover grays, switch up your look, or maintain your current color, this dye delivers impressive results. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a rich, natural-looking auburn shade with salon-quality results at home.

Skip to 2nd paragraph if you want to review of the product. My edit/update is mostly about the allergic experience that I attributed to the salon semi-permanent color. On application and while "marinating", my head itched. After a few sessions with the salon color, the itching was CONSTANT. I blamed it on the salon color, and kept using my new favorite shampoo, conditioner, etc. It took awhile before I realized that it was the OLAPLEX PRODUCT LINE THAT WAS CAUSING THE REACTION. By the time I realized it, I had lost a lot of hair! I'm just spreading the word about that product line. There's a lawsuit, and they are refunding customers' money, but that's small consolation when your hair is ruined.This review is for the Medium Cool Brown, 5C.First: In my youth, I had very dark brown hair with coppery highlights in the sun. My hairdresser says that my hair is now 30-40% gray. (It's not really gray; it's white.)For several years, I've gone to the salon every 4 weeks. After 2 weeks, I'd touch up with Clairol Permanent Root Touch-Up, 4A Dark Ash Brown. It worked fine, but I hated the obvious new growth of white hair.So, about 6 months ago, my stylist and I decided to switch to a semi-permanent color, both in the salon and for my 2-week touch-ups. (The semi-permanent products I tried at home were Clairol Root Touch-Up Semi-Permanent Hair Color for Gray Coverage, 2A, Rich Dark Brown. The other was Clairol Permanent Root Touch-Up, 4A, Dark Ash Brown. The biggest difference between the two products is the application method. You can look at the product pages to see what I mean. Neither one lasted very long; my hair looked dull and washed out within a week.)Every time I got the salon dye job, my head itched for a couple of days. (I didn't have the same problem with the at-home touch-ups.) But last month, my head, neck and shoulders itched HORRIBLY for almost 2 weeks. Took a lot of Benadryl and swore off the semi-permanent salon procedure. (As mentioned in 1st paragraph, all this was caused by the Olaplex products I had been using.)NOW, FOR THIS PRODUCT REVIEW:I did a skin test 48 hours before coloring my hair. (I never bothered doing this before, but the allergic reaction to the salon stuff made me wary.) I mixed a tiny bit of the color and developer, and used a Q-tip to put a dot on my inner arm. Unlike other at-home dyes I've used, this stuff mixed up white/translucent. Don't worry. It turns color quickly. (Oops. Then I covered it with a band-aid because I'd made a dark brown splotch on my arm!)Buy a box of latex gloves! The gloves that come with these products are horrible, and for this particular product, I used 3 pairs. The 1st pair was for the initial root application. (The directions say to wait 20 min. from when you *begin* to apply the product.) The 2nd pair was for the next step, when I applied the color to comb through my shoulder-length hair. That step may not be necessary for future dye jobs, but this was a new color, and it claimed to have 3 different shades, so I wanted to apply all over. The 3rd pair of gloves was for rinsing and washing out the dye. The total time was 25 min., though in the past I've waited longer for better coverage. For the sake of research, I wanted to follow the instructions exactly.I used the conditioner that is supplied in the box. In theory, this MEDIUM cool brown is lighter than the touch-up products I've used in the past, both permanent and semi-permanent, all by Clairol. If we ever have a sunny day, I'll find out if the color is significantly different from the various "dark brown" dyes. For now, right after doing my hair, it looks really good. When I update this review, I'll let you know if the supposed 3-color highlights/lowlights thing is noticeable.Definitely an improvement over the semi-permanent products. I'll let you know what happens to the towels after a few washes. (I try not to wash every day, just condition, but it's summer and if I bike or swim, I have to shampoo.)MORE UPDATE: I am gradually moving to lighter shades of the same color. To go gradually lighter, change from 4 to 5 to 6 of the same color. Instead of using the touch-up versions, I'm just using the full boxes of dye. The range of colors is greater, and the difference in price is negligible. Eventually, the color will show up completely on the white hair that is growing in, and the still-not-gray will look fine. So the new growth of white hair is less noticeable than the demarcation line when I was using the darkest cool brown shades.

I was using another product for years to cover my grey but for some reason it stopped working as well and faded quickly. It was acting like it was a temporary color instead of a permanent so I decided to try Clairol and it has covered my grey hair well. I love the color. Easy to use. The ammonia type odor is a bit strong but not too bad. The color I use is number 5 medium brown. Clairol Nice and Easy. In this photo it has been I think about 5 days since I colored it.

Was very happy I was able to purchase this product from Amazon. Thank you.

Leí una reseña en la que alguien decía que esto no funciona como otras marcas. Me gustaría saber qué usa esa persona, ya que esta marca y color de cabello funcionaron exactamente de la misma manera que cualquier otro juego de coloración en caja para el cabello comprado en una tienda que haya usado. Lo agitas como se supone que debes hacer, el color cambia al color con el que también teñirás el cabello. Normal. Lo aplica y se asegura de eliminar cualquier derrame o piel en las áreas que no es necesario. Espera el tiempo mencionado o si tienes un tiempo establecido como yo para todas las sesiones de coloración. Enjuague bien y luego agregue el acondicionador o lo que haga normalmente. Gran color. especialmente si uno sabe y comprende cómo funcionan los procesos de coloración.No hay dudas sobre cómo utilizarlo y cómo funciona.

El color es hermoso pero me duró a lo mucho 1 semana y media...

Perfect hair colour and eyes to use and covered my gray hair very well l couldn’t believe

Excellent colour for me. It is one product that is difficult to find in stores.
