  • 7A and 6A. Lots of red undertones. Do a TEST swatch.
Color: 6A Light Cool Brown Size: 5.85 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Quick update...and raising from 4 to 5 stars. I used this 6 weeks ago and only now is the color beginning to fade around the temples and a bit at the roots, but it is so nice and gradual. No harsh lines. I love semi-permanent. I wash 3-4x a week. I have to say I am impressed, and I will do this again in a few weeks. It's lasting way long than advertised. I thought it looked red at first but after a week that faded a bit I guess? And suddenly this older now single lady has far more love interests than only 2 months ago...I wanna see where this goes... Still advise doing test strands! Original review: Back when I was 30% gray, 6A was my go-to semipermanent color. I loved it and used it for years, but during COVID I let my hair totally wash out, and then later just grow out. But 6A was a perfect match for light ashy brown. I'm about 60%gray now. I decided to try it again... I tried 6A (darker vertical, right image) and also something kinda fun maybe... 7A to hopefully add some blonde highlights to the gray (left image) Swatches are 25 minutes of 7A, and 6A, from the gray-est hairs, showing some representative strands of my natural gray and natural mousey ash brown. Both are red..6A is a little better in the image but really in just about all other lighting it's "red". Not the 6A I remembered! Want to remind people to do a test every time you color. ... show more

  • Color looks natural goes on better
Color: 6A Light Cool Brown Size: 5.85 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I naturally have light brown hair and I've been doing medium brown for many many years. I tried a mushroom blonde and I liked it but it was a little bit too light. I tried this color and it was just right it was great because it spread on my hair better than most most are too thick and they don't spread well and doesn't look natural this one spread really well look very natural dark enough to make me feel like my face is framed but light enough to feel natural. It went on very well it looked very well and it has lasted an extremely long time. ... show more

  • Great Product!
Color: 6A Light Cool Brown Size: 5.85 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is a great product. It colored my hair without the red undertone that I have had a problem with in the past. The conditioner worked great! However, it didn’t cover the gray completely.

  • The best on the market
Color: 6A Light Cool Brown Size: 5.85 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I have used this product for at least10 years now and would never use anything else. It covers grey beautifully and gently. It just fades naturally (no harsh separation between new growth and colored hair) and when you see a little more grey than you want, just reapply. The color is very natural looking. I can go up to two to three months before I have to reapply so it is cost effective. I don't have a lot of grey though so this might not be true for everyone. I have recommended this product to a couple of friends and now they don't go to their beauty shop to have their hair colored anymore. They prefer Natural Instincts over the beauty shop. They did reduce the range of colors that were available, but fortunately my color is still available. Great price from Amazon too! ... show more

  • What was Clairol thinking?
Color: 6A Light Cool Brown Size: 5.85 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
Have been using Clairol Natural Instincts for years and have been EXTREMELY satisfied. Everyone marvels at how natural it looks, and many never new I colored my hair until I told them. Now they have come out with a "new" version, and one wonders what they found wrong with the old version. I knew there was going to be a problem when I went to use it and what had originally been two liquids you opened and combined. Now one of these is in a tube and has the consistency of toothpaste. It's not easy to squeeze this into the other liquid wearing gloves and being careful not to upset and get the products everywhere. Then the application was different because the consistency was different. Then you had to wait a longer period of time before rinsing out. Okay, you can deal with all of that if you get a good end result. NO GOOD END RESULT!!! Do not buy this product. The gray areas near the scalp have a greenish cast and are a different color than the rest of the hair. The rest of the hair is much darker than what was obtained using the former version. Clairol has taken a very good product and totally ruined it. I've been searching high and low to try to buy the old version, but perhaps others are doing the same thing because I've been unable to find the color I need. I am so disappointed in Clairol, and am at a loss as to what to do next as I will not use this product again. ... show more
