  • Good results and tackles most stubborn grays.
Color: 3N Dark Natural Brown
Works well. Perfect for someone dying a little amount of hair as can use as much or little as you need. One thing to note. The tube becomes tough to squeeze around d the midway point and started to crack at the seem while squeezing on one of my bottles.

  • The best dye
Color: 3N Dark Natural Brown
I love this hair dye. It's long lasting and the color is beautiful. It's easy to apply and I've been using it for months. The color is also very natural.

  • Perfect for maintaining rich color and health, but pick the correct developer!
Color: 3N Dark Natural Brown
I keep my hair long (35"+), and thus have to be very gentle with it. I used boxed permanent before switching to Ion Demi about 3 years ago, and in the last year my hair has mostly returned to its virgin state of health (natural curling at the ends, bounce, you know what it is) and I couldn't be happier with this dye. Keeping an air of natural, casual beauty is very important to me, so this is great as you can literally color or touch-up whenever you want without worrying about damage. It's ridiculously easy to whip some up and slap it on your roots before a shower (remember to forgo the conditioner and styling products for at least 24 hours prior), and wake up looking flawless, every single day. I mix Dark Natural Brown and Blue Black 1:1 to get a super deep but not artificial looking black. That's another thing I love about this - you can mix and match to make your ideal color. While it's best to test your concoction on a piece of hair first, it's not the end of the world if you dump it on your entire head - because it'll wash out in a month. I wash my hair once a week, so it lasts at least 3 months - sans root touch ups. But when making the switch from drugstore box dye to a more DIY, it's important to gain at least a small understanding of the chemical reaction you're creating. The most important thing being not accidentally turning demi permanent into permanent with too high volume developer. I see Amazon is recommending 20 volume developer with this and that is NOT what should be used with demi. That's because demi pretty much just sticks to the surface of your hair, and so it's formulated with a lot of pigment to create the same rich color as permanent would. Permanent is meant to be inserted into your strands (much like a tattoo) without losing much pigment. And what makes the difference between semi, demi, or permanent is the volume of your developer. The higher the volume, the more the "scales" on your strands are lifted, the more pigment deposited into the strand. So once you go above 10 with a demi, you've turned it into permanent - a much darker than desired permanent. AND you're stuck with it. 5 to 10 volume, or a demi developer, is what should be used with this dye. Once you get your colors and your ratios right (there are directions in the box for help on how to do this), there won't be much reason to ever go back. Happy Slaying, Sisters ... show more

  • The shine and color was just what I wanted.
Color: 3N Dark Natural Brown
The color blends well with my gray. Just like any other colors you should watch for spills that will stay on your skin a few days. All in all the results were just what I wanted. Thanks

  • I love ION!
Color: 3N Dark Natural Brown
Worked great!!! I see come people saying the dye doesn't work (bless their hearts) you need to buy a developer to activate the dye! I used 10 vol and it worked GREAT!!! My hair also feels so shiny and smooth. I had virgin blonde hair before dying.

  • Disappointed at this dye
Color: 3N Dark Natural Brown
If I could give it 0 I would, I was excited to try this dye because I’m trying to go back to my old hair color and it had great reviews but it came out smelling like bleach? When it says aroma free and it was white-ish gray? I got dark brown not white I’m really sad that I wasted $10 on something that doesn’t even work ... show more

  • Nothing Better
Color: 3N Dark Natural Brown
I haven't found anything better than Ion Intensive. It covers my greys, no horrible odor, affordable, easy to use at home and best part is people think i pay top $$$ to get my haor colored professionally. I have recommended this to so many friends. What I love most about it it that it is a demi and it looks very natural. ... show more
