Gentle product

a year ago
I've used it once and while it's a very gentle product that doesn't smell unpleasant, with good coverage - the colour seems just plain black. Shade 4.0 is supposed to be dark brown, but now, two weeks later, while it hasn't really faded, there's still no 'brown' - just the same 'black'. Lovely gentle product though, but I'll have to reconsider as I want to stay as close to my natural colour as possible.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Washes out quickly

a year ago
This always use to be my favorite hair dye. However the last time I used it, it has completely washed out within a few weeks! It also completely washed out of all my clothes, which is nice but definitely shows it’s no longer a permanent dye like they claim to be. I’m guessing they have changed the ingredients at some point!

No, I do not recommend this product.
