After lightening my hair a couple years ago to colour it purple at a salon, I was getting a little bored with the blonde. Not wanting to pay an arm and a leg at a salon again, I decided to try Clairol. My hair is quite ombre so it was nice seeing how the dye responded to blonde vs brunette hair.
Overall, the application was extremely easy (20-30 minutes of leaving it in) and I absolutely loved the different shades! I've received more compliments with this colour than the original, professionally-done purple I had done. It does fade out fairly fast but, at the price, that's just a reason to try some of the other colours!
I tried this product in the rose gold after lightening my hair. I wasn't sure I would like the pink hair look so I went for a 'safe' colour that would sort of blend with my natural light auburn hair.
In the box itself you get proper colouring gloves, a brush to apply the colour and a tube of the colour itself. There's no mixing which is awesome. Just squeeze from the tube and apply to your towel dried/damp hair.
I dip dyed with this product as my ends were the lightest and left the product on 30 minutes for maximum intensity of colour. I found it easier to just squeeze product in my hands and run it through strands of hair, rather than using the brush.
Once rinsed I was left was a peachy pinky colour - more peachy than pinky, which was very pretty. It gradually fades out - although I didn't get 2 weeks of colour before it faded/washed out - it may have only been a week. It is the kind of product however that is easy to reapply, to keep the colour there.
Pricier than some of the other products on the market but definitely a nice product to use and you get all the tools needed. It's also reuseable as you pop the lid on the tube after use, and you can use it again! I have got about 3 uses out of one box for my chin length bob.
Because it washes out easily - you can definitely afford to experiment with colours without too much worry.
Might try some other colours to see if I can find my 'pink' look that I'd like to try. Definitely a fun product for the adventurous ladies!

Tips: If using the bold/bright colours - mixing the colour with conditioner is a subtler way to try a hint of the colour before taking the leap with bright colours.
Dip dying is also a good way to try before taking the leap
Anti-dandruff shampoos are awesome for stripping out temporary colour quickly if you don't like your result!
