  • Strong Dye That Works Well
Color: Luminous Blonde 396 Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
My hair is dark brown and wavy. It is very thick and no dye has ever colored it the way this box dye has. My hair went from very dark brown to a beautiful caramel orange. I did have to get certain conditioners and shampoos for my hair to repair it as I redid the dye multiple times and had concern for my hair drying out, but it came out perfectly and my hair is happy and healthy. ... show more

  • AWESOME but difficult for color level 1/2 hair
Color: Vivacious Red 394 Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Context: My natural hair is black/extremely dark brown, fully virgin loose curly hair. It is generally very healthy (I use moisturizing products, take good care, and am blessed with quick hair growth). I have had bad experiences with hair dye in the past- as it has led to extreme damage; so I wanted to avoid bleach. Color I used: vivacious red! I’m hoping to eventually get a lighter copper color, but I’m going slow so I do not cause much damage. I also purchased several olaplex products to help repair any potentially hurt hair. Experience: According to the chart, I needed three boxes, but I did not want to use all of them at once in fear that it may not work the best. I used two boxes, thoroughly raking it through in sections. I saturated every strand and left it in for 45 minutes. Instructions were very easy to follow!! After washing it out, my hair felt very, very dry, and I used the deep conditioning masks right afterwards. This helped my hair feel much softer, but no color showed on my hair—except at the roots. I figured this was because I did not saturate the ends enough. Then, I waited for my hair to be 80% dry (because I am impatient), and I used the third box. This time, I didn’t take through and instead focused on patting on as much of the color as I could. I focused it heavily on my ends but started every pour on the roots. I left it in for a full hour this time, washed it out, used deep conditioner, and diffuser. While my roots are still lighter than my ends, I am happy with the color! And most of all, I am overjoyed by the soft, bouncy, and healthy state of my hair!! Note: this brand is made for Black individuals, and I am South Asian. The only reason it worked the best for me is because I have very thick, course hair—and it was a better option than other box dyes. I do not know if it would work well for other non-Black people, and I will not make an estimation. ... show more

  • Excellent product, works exactly like it promised. May need more than one box.
Color: Bleach Blonde Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
First of all, I'm really happy with the product overall, and I actually just ordered a second box, which prompted me to write a review. I started with completely virgin, 2b dark brown hair. I am black/white mixed with a natural 3c curl, and very fine hair, but I always use a low heat iron to loosen the curl. I don't use any hair products except for raw African Shea butter and organic coconut oil. I wash my hair usually 1-2x a week, and waited 5 days from washing before bleaching. I left the product on for about 80 minutes altogether!! 50 minutes starting a half inch from the scalp, then another 30 applied at the roots. I also wrapped tinfoil around my hairline for the last ~25 minutes. I'm definitely happy with the texture of my hair afterwards, it feels completely soft and healthy in every way. It needed a LOT of toning but that's just because my hair is so naturally reddish so of course lightening automatically makes it bright orange at first. I recommend concentrated toning drops which you can apply directly to the hair, and/or add to your products. I'm going to apply again to achieve a more platinum blonde because I'm aiming for a "pink and white" cupcake Cyndi lauper inspired, more artistic look, and plan to add neon pink highlights. I recently moved from the country to a big city and I'm really having fun changing up my look to better fit the vibe of my awesome neighborhood. :) I'll update with the results. ... show more

  • Doesn’t work and extreme headache after.
Color: Bleach Blonde Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
This is the worst! I bought it because of all the good reviews but the reality is the opposite. My natural hair is dark brown hair but I have my hair as platinum silver and my natural hair is growing back so I bought two boxes of those to cover the new growth. I follow the instructions which mainly said 30-40 mins for maximum bleaching, and mixed the product as directed and use immediately as they are directing. However things went wrong fast shortly after that, I did my new growth (not roots) first since they take longer than roots and 20 mins later (after I was done) I did my roots and left them on for 25 mins, so total time was 45 for non root. I saw literally zero left from my hair and roots except only the last portion of my hair that was done which was the top (I had excess product so I layered it all on top of my hair). And even then it only bleached it to a light brown, not even close to blonde. The worst part that it says no need to shampoo afterwards ( lies, the product says in your scalp and you can visibly see it, ok no problem I shampooed my hair) the issue is that about 15 mins later I started getting a headache which developed harder and harder until got nausea and almost vomitted! I bought this because it specifically said 8 levels of lift, it barely achieved 2 ( and only for a small portion of my hair). My suspect is it’s a bad batch maybe that did not activate until 30 mins after mixing. Or if this is not the case then it is just a bad product that doesn’t work and has harmful chemicals that lead to extreme dizziness and nausea. It took me 4 hours and medicine to recover. And now i still have to deal with my terrible bleach job from this product!!!! I do not recommend, do not be misdirected by the good reviews. Even though I used a good enough portion and mixed it well and followed instructions it has been a terrible experience and I am very disappointed. PS I have been bleaching my hair on my own since 2020 to a platinum level, I never had this experience! ... show more
