ONCE MIXED, NEVER RESEAL OR STORE THE COLOR IN A CLOSED CONTAINER AS IT COULD BURST. ALL OVER COLOR APPLICATION Ideal for first time users or if you haven't colored for several months. STEP 1: APPLY COLOR • Part your hair into small, even sections using the applicator tip. • Apply color first to your roots and stubborn grays. • Work through hair from root to tip to ensure full saturation, but don't rub into the scalp. • Pour any unused color mixture down the drain as it will lose its effectiveness after an hour. • If any color gets on your skin, wipe it off with a damp towel. STEP 2: TIME IT • Leave on for 25 minutes or the time indicated by your Strand Test. • Tip: If your grays are really stubborn, it may be necessary to leave color on for up to 45 minutes. For Ultra Light Blonde shades, leave the color on for up to 45 minutes as well. Nice ’n Easy—Layers rich tones and contouring highlights in one simple step! STEP 3: RINSE AND GLOSS • Add a small amount of warm water and massage into a lather. Rinse until water runs clear. • Apply the ColorSeal Conditioning Gloss to condition and lock in highlights and shine. • For optimal color results, leave on for 2 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with warm water. • Save remaining ColorSeal Conditioning Gloss and continue to use once a week (after shampooing) in place of your usual conditioner for a total of 6 weeks of optimal color, shine and softness. • Tip: For best results use a quarter-size amount for each application. Our exclusive ColorSeal Conditioning Gloss helps seal in beautiful, natural-looking color and adds intense shine! ROOT APPLICATION Ideal for users who color every 4-6 weeks to help keep hair natural-looking and ensure even color root to tip. STEP 1: APPLY COLOR • Part your hair down the middle and apply the color mixture to your roots, use applicator tip to separate your hair into sections and continue applying the color to your roots only. Save the remainder of the color to use for the rest of your hair. STEP 2: TIME IT • Leave the color on your hair for 20 minutes or 5 minutes less than the time indicated by your Strand Test. • Then gently work the remaining color through the rest of your hair, but avoid rubbing it into your scalp. Leave the color on your hair for an additional 5 minutes. STEP 3: RINSE AND GLOSS • See instructions above. Tip: If your grays are really stubborn, it may be necessary to leave color on for up to 45 minutes. For Ultra Light Blonde shades, leave the color on for up to 45 minutes as well. Frequently Asked QuestionsWhy is Nice ’n Easy hair color so amazing? Nice ’n Easy gives you ultimate natural-looking color by layering rich tones and contouring highlights in one simple step. Will it cover my grays? Yes! Nice ’n Easy promises 100% GRAY COVERAGE. For really resistant grays, try Nice ’n Easy Gray Solution™. How long will my color last? Nice ’n Easy lasts up to 8 weeks. And we've included our exclusive ColorSeal™ Conditioning Gloss to help seal in beautiful, natural-looking color and add intense shine. How does it work? Our exclusive Color Blend Technology™ gives you a pigment-rich base layered with contouring highlights. Additionally, the formula, with our exclusive Triple Shine Hydrience Conditioning Complex™, delivers up to 33% more shine. vs. untreated hairFrequently Asked Questions: About Clairol products:What products does Clairol make? Clairol makes hair color products. Choose from Semi- Permanent (lasts through 8-12 shampoos), Demi-Permanent (lasts through 28 shampoos), Permanent (lasts until your hair grows out or you recolor) or Highlighting & Blonding to help you become colorwonderful™. Should individuals with natural, uncolored hair use different hair color products than those who have previously colored their hair? It depends on the desired result. If you are coloring your hair for the first time and only want to enhance your natural color, try a Demi-Permanent (lasts through 28 shampoos) product close to your natural hair color. If you want to go lighter, you need to select a Permanent (lasts until your hair grows out or you recolor) hair color, then refer to the insert that comes inside your box of Clairol hair color and follow the instructions for first time application. Should people who want to cover gray hair use different coloring products than those who don't need coverage? Most Clairol hair color products will blend or cover gray hair to some degree. If you have a small percentage of gray (not very visible), use a Semi-Permanent (lasts through 8-12 shampoos) product, such as Loving Care. If you have a higher percentage of gray hair (up to 50%), use a Demi-Permanent (lasts through 28 shampoos) product such as Natural Instincts, which will blend away gray hair. On the other hand, if you have a lot of gray and want to cover it completely, use a Permanent (lasts until your hair grows out or you recolor) product. If you have 50% or more gray, use Natural Instincts Gray Solution. How can I test-run a color before committing to coloring my entire head of hair? Strand test is a simple method for you to test hair color on a portion of your hair before doing the entire application. (The instructions are in your hair color box.) It's an important step because it's the only way to see exactly how the shade you selected works with your starting hair color to achieve the resulting color. A strand test will also help you determine the exact timing you'll need to color your whole head. Where can I find product instructions? Product instruction inserts are inside your hair color box. Additional Instructions:BEFORE YOU COLOR: 48 HOURS IN ADVANCE Take the ALLERGY TEST. Do the STRAND TEST to determine your optimal coloring time. Read this entire instruction leaflet before you begin. IMPORTANT: SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS HAIR COLORANTS CAN CAUSE ALLERGIC REACTIONS WHICH IN RARE INSTANCES CAN BE SEVERE. TATTOOS MAY INCREASE YOUR RISK OF ALLERGY, TO REDUCE YOUR RISK FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS: 1. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT AT ALL IF: You have already experienced any reaction to coloring products. You have sensitive, irritated or damaged scalp. In these cases do not conduct the skin allergy test and consult a doctor before using any hair color product. 2. PERFORM A SKIN ALLERGY TEST 48 HOURS BEFORE EACH PRODUCT USE even if you have already used coloring products before SKIN ALLERGY TEST INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE PERFORMED 48 HOURS BEFORE YOU COLOR YOUR HAIR. You will need a cotton ball or swab, a plastic bowl and a plastic spoon. To open, unscrew the entire Color-blend Activator applicator bottle cap (2). (Don't tear off the tab.) Then unscrew the Color-blend Formula cap (1). Mix small, equal parts of Color-blend Formula (1) and Color-blend Activator ( 2 ) in a plastic bowl. (For Ultra Light Blonde 87, add 1 part of Color-blend Formula and 2 parts of Color-blend Activator.) Tightly recap both bottles. Apply mixture to a test area the size of a quarter in the bend of your elbow. Allow to dry. Use remaining mixture for the Strand Test. Do not wash this area for 48 hours. During washing, protect with an adhesive bandage and remove it immediately after washing. Examine the test area during the next 48 hours. If no reaction occurs, you are ready to color. The absence of reaction to this test is no guarantee that an allergic reaction may not occur as a result of a future hair coloring process. However, this test represents an important precaution. Please consult a doctor if you have any doubts. NOTE: IF A RASH, REDNESS, BURNING OR ITCHING OCCURS YOU MAY BE ALLERGIC. STOP. YOU MUST NOT USE THIS PRODUCT. WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE A REACTION DURING OR WITHIN THE NEXT 48 HOURS OF COLORING YOUR HAIR IF DURING COLORING YOU EXPERIENCE: Any stinging or burning and/or rash, rinse immediately and discontinue use as this may be an indication of a more serious reaction. DO NOT color your hair again before consulting a doctor or seeking medical advice. Rapidly spreading skin rash, dizziness or faintness, shortness of breath and/or swelling eyes/face, rinse immediately and SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. IF AFTER COLORING OR ON THE FOLLOWING DAYS YOU EXPERIENCE problems, such as skin itching, skin rash, swelling to eyes/face, blistering and/or skin or scalp weeping SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. SPECIAL CAUTIONS: This product contains ingredients including hydrogen peroxide, which may cause severe eye irritation and possible permanent eye injury. If any product gets into your eye, flush immediately with a large amount of lukewarm water and seek medical advice. We recommend removing contact lenses before applying hair color.

Do not leave the mixture in a closed bottle (bottle may expand or burst). Product not intended to be used on children. Keep all hair coloring products out of reach of children. STRAND TEST: Do the Strand Test each time you color to determine optimal timing and color results. Perms, relaxers, previous color, and the sun can affect your results and timing. You will need: scissors, tape and a clock. Cut a ¼ inch wide strand from the darkest or grayest part of your dry hair close to the scalp and tape at the cut end. Dampen with water. Completely cover the hair strand with the mixture remaining from the Allergy Test. Start timing. After 15 minutes, check the strand. If the strand is not the color you want, return it to the mixture for up to 25 minutes. For extra light blonding, more intense color results, or to cover resistant grays, it may be necessary to leave the hair color on for up to 45 minutes. Fill in your personal color time below: My timing for desired color: _______ minutes.Color Hints & Tips Use Nice ’n Easy for ultimate natural- looking color with rich tones and contouring highlights in one simple step! Apply color to dry hair that is free of styling product build-up. If hair has build-up, shampoo one day prior to coloring. Do not shampoo immediately before coloring. Your scalp has natural oils that help to protect it during the coloring process. If any color gets on your skin or household surface, wipe it off immediately with a damp towel. Use the ColorSeal Conditioning Gloss only once a week. It has been designed to give you long-lasting benefits. For best results use a quarter-size amount per application. If your hair has been recently permed or relaxed, wait at least 7 days and 1 shampoo before coloring. Do the Strand Test since your timing may need to be reduced. If you plan to perm or relax your hair, wait at least 7 days and 1 shampoo after coloring. If you've used a gradual color restorer, henna, or metallic dyes, do not use this product until your hair has grown out and colored areas have been cut off.

  • CLAIROL NICE ‘N EASY THE BEST!
Color: 9 Light Blonde Size: 6.26 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I don’t like revealing my “secrets” because perhaps my products won’t be available or the prices will get crazy but like to share with my fellow ladies! I am still using Clairol Nice ‘n Easy Permanent hair color after 30 years. I tried L’Oreal and a few other brands and they all burned my scalp and I end up with blisters and burns on my scalp. The other brands like Garnier, Revlon and Schwartzkopf just don’t color enough or right for me or they destroy my hair. Nice ‘n Easy prices can’t be beat especially on sale or with subscribe & save. I switch between blonde colors in the 9, 10, and 11 permanent colors. I use the ultra light, ultra pale, palest natural, and extra light blondes in 9, 10 or 11 only. I never do golden or ash because then my hair turns red orange or green with the ash. I have hair down to my low back and I always switch the colors because it also leaves different blonde highlights and colors in my hair every time I do the roots! It looks great and I always get compliments. I am leaving it on for as much as 45 minutes now with those horrible grays that are popping up but Nice ‘n Easy covered them up! Take that! I use subscribe and save and I switch between the colors for the cheapest between 9, 10 and 11 blondes because they’re all great! WATCH YOUR MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION PRICES BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT TRIPLES$$$ FOR NO REASON Every 2 - 3 weeks I do the roots and maybe every 3-4 months I might add it all over and/or the ends for 5 minutes only so I don’t dry my ends! I also order 2 to 3 per month at the cheapest price because it’s worth it just for the conditioner alone! I’ve seen the Nice N Easy Color Seal Conditioner sold by opportunists right here on Amazon for $22 per bottle! Forget about Ebay at $45 for two 1.86 oz tubes. Soooo definitely purchase Clairol Nice ‘n Easy Permanent Colors in ANY SHADE under $4 just for the CC+ (Color Conditioner +Seal)! Right?They are clear conditioners in the hair coloring box. SIDENOTES: I also add 5 drops per ounce of Ardell Red Corrector or Ardell Unred out drops occasionally to reduce any orange, red, or brasiness that sometimes occurs. I know people use the purple shampoos and all that expensive stuff $25+ for as small as 8 oz but for over 30 years I’ve been using Ardell drops that used to be $.99 a 1 oz bottle! Woohoo! Now it’s about $6 for .025oz or $9.99 - $12.99 for a 1 oz bottle. Watch your prices because a few months ago I found the Ardell 1 oz for $5.99 so I bought 4. They have also have single packs of .068 ounce of Ardell Unred for $.99 if you just want to try it. With the 1 oz bottles of Ardell Unred or Red/Gold Corrector you can add it to your shampoos and conditioners yourself and save alot of $$$.. MORE NOTES: Every special occasion I use CHI Ionic Shine Shades 7I Dark Iridescent Blonde or even CHI Ionic Shine Shades 9I Light Iridescent Blonde with a 20 developer to add ever so light, pink, purple, opal like iridescence shine to my hair for an amazing vibrant color. I can’t explain it. It only lasts for a few shampoos so I only do it on special occasions and I don’t dry my hair out by over-processing. CHI just adds an amazing shine of colors to blonde hair. CHI also has a CHI Ionic Shine Shades CLEAR Iridescent color just to help seal and really shine hair. Happy coloring and STAY BEAUTIFUL! Anna ... show more

  • Soft silver color
Color: 8S Soft Silver Size: 6.26 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Yes, I have to resubmit this review. Something wasn’t approved in my last review anyway this color is not a silver as one may think it leaves your hair incredibly soft. I do like the quality of this color, but I did pre-lighten my hair to an ash blondish, which gave me a slightly yellow blonde from another company, then I colored with a soft silver and it gave me an ashy medium blonde as you can see in the pictures before that I had a Bronzie caramel color highlights pre-lighten them with a box color another company from another company as I said previous to a slightly yellow blonde because you can see my top is lighter Than the bottom of my hair, but it’s a nice ash natural color. It is not silver not at least if you have slightly yellow in your hair. I can only assume if you do have an original really silver base or assault and pepper natural gray hair you will definitely get closer results probably to the actual picture or if you really have very platinum hair, you probably will get this result, but on slightly yellow blonde bleached hair as far as I’ve tried to Tone it down and give it like a soft silver. It doesn’t really work like that. Also really great piece of advice. I have dark roots like a dark, medium brown naturally do not apply on your dark roots. It turned my roots bronze reddish. I didn’t know I didn’t think it was going to do anything to my roots. I didn’t think this color had any lift in it, but it does so do not apply it to your roots. If you do not want bronze roots, I had to redo my roots to tone them down with a dark blonde and then a light as brown, but overall would definitely use this color grade to tone hair does help with some toning down of yellow tones, but not the bronze ... show more
