Not what I needed

I have dyed black hair so thought I’d try this over it to see if it would give it a purple shine, it didn’t really work. Not obviously anyway, a few have seen it in bright natural light but I haven’t.
It probably would work over natural black/dark brown...
As for the dye itself it was easy enough to mix and the push out hole in the box to hold the bottle is a great idea. I don’t like that theres 2 bottles you squeeze into another empty bottle as it’s a bit wasteful.
After I rinsed the dye out I used the Garnier mask for dyed hair as well so it felt nice and soft after I dried it.

Did not change my hair colour

I have naturally dark brown/black south Asian hair so when I received this , I thought GREAT! I could do with a drastic change! The dye uses 60 percent oils which make the colour more vivid .The packaging stood out to me as it looks very funky and fun. I like how the box has a hole in which you can stand the bottle in whilst you are mixing the solution (this ensures there aren't any spillages!) . The dye has a lovely floral fragrance and no ammonia which makes sure your hair is not damaged when you dye it. So I mixed the concoction up and started applying , the dye is not too thick and glides out of the nozzle very easily. I was able to do my head my self and I have long shoulder blade length hair . Once on I waited 30mins for the developmental time . After what seemed like ages I washed it off . The dye like others does take a few washes to come out and I had to shampoo twice then used the conditioner that came with the dye . Once dried and styled I looked in the mirror to see my drastic hair change and alas I could not see any change. I assumed that maybe it would have tinged my hair so that when the sun hit it , you could see the colour but it has not . My hair has a very slight tinge but not violet so I would not recommend using this on dark brown /black hair as it does not touch it .

Easy to use, even coverage, nice colour
3 years ago
I started using this in the midst of lockdown, and I now happily save money colouring hair at home since. As someone who doesn't like a lot of hassle, this is so easy to use and clean up after. Since the first time, I use it to top up. I have dark hair and odd light streaks, and it covers the hair evenly.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Not the best
5 years ago
This is easy to apply and smells beautiful. That's where the good points end. My hair is not purple and looks black with a very slight purple tinge. I used two boxes of dye as my hair is long and quite thick. Hair also feels very dry, even after using the conditioner that comes with the dye.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Worse dye I've ever tried
6 years ago
Due to the lockdown my hair was a little worse for wear, faded, lots of roots etc
My natural hair colour is light brown which when I saw the estimated results for that colour I was excited.
However the rest of my hair was a faded red, so I wasn't expecting it to be purple I was expecting it to be like a black cherry sort of colour which again I was fine with.
Used two packets because my hair is long as thick (only just covered it!) Followed all the instructions to the letter, washed it with the colour conditioner, dried it and.....there was no purple in my hair at all. Not even on my brown roots!
It made my hair a tone darker, but that's it. Washed it 3 times since I dyed it, as per my normal washing routine, and my hair now back as it was before I dyed it. So not very permanent either!
Won't be buying this product again, complete waste of time and money.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Not good for dark brown hair
7 years ago
Unfortunately I read all the reviews and still ignored them and tried this on my hair... I have naturally very dark brown / black hair and this purple shows up very faint in the sunlight, but more as a mauve colour. If you want this kind of very subtle look, I would recommend it but for a more visible look in all lights I wouldn’t.
