I started off by reading some info online and looking at a few youtube clips about how to best use the ombre kit - I was feeling fairly nervous about doing it so decided to enlist the help of my sister (after reading other reviews i'm glad I did). I really liked the look of the box, and the instructions included were nice and clear, and easy to follow (but I would still recommend watching a "how to" video the first time). Adding the powder and cream to the bottle was easy enough however the gloves while feeling very good quality wise would never have fitted my hands - my sister even found them very snug fitting. For the application of the solution we started at the ends, before moving up to about chin level - this gave the desired look of layered colour. The only concern with the application was whether or not all of the hair was being covered evenly, the brush certainly helped to ensure a good coverage. Thick hair really needs to be sectioned into small sections of hair. My natural colour is dark blonde/light brown, I checked the colour after 25 minutes and decided it was about the level I wanted it to be at. To finish off it simply needed the solution rinsed out with warm water and then applying the conditioning lotion (I was very impressed with the generous amount that was supplied). Afterwards my hair still felt a bit dry/damaged so I also applied some of my own product to help lock some moisture back into my hair. I have quite long, thick hair and was a little worried about there not being enough solution but was pleasantly surprised to find that there was even a small amount left over! Overall I love my hair, the look is exactly what I wanted and I would definitely use this kit again and recommend it to friends.

Tips: 1- Have a someone you trust on hand to help you out - or even better do the whole application 2- If you tend to get dry hair (or it is already damaged) have some hair oil or extra conditioning lotion on hand in case you need it 3- start at the tips of your hair and work up
When this product arrived I was really excited to try it as I had seen workmates with the ombre look and loved it. The packaging was very sleek and stylish. Everything in the box was easily identifiable, and the instructions easy to follow. I did check out a how to video online. I was as easy as just mix and combing your hair to apply. My hair is shoulder length so the effect was mainly towards the end section. I did seem to still have quite abit of solution left in the bottle. This probably due to having shorter length hair. Couldn't actually find anywhere in instructions just exactly how much of the bottle to apply. My hair did feel straw like once solution was washed off but once I used the shampooing condition it was fine. Apart from that is was easy as and my hair feels as it normally does. A salon look without the price tag.
Tips: Use in well a ventilated area. Do have someone check the back of your head just to make sure your application is even.
I found this relatively easy to do, it was a little difficult to know whether or not I had the back done correctly. I liked the colour but I was glad I darkened some of my hair first. (My blonde ends needed to be darker before I started). I would use this again and I think I would find this a lot easier the second time round. This left my hair in a lovely soft condition. The packaging was very attractive and the instructions clear & easy to understand.
Tips: May be easier if you have someone to help you with the back.
The box the hair colour cam in is attractive with photos showing what can be achieved with the lightening hair colour. There were clear instructions inside the box to follow. These stated exactly what to do and it was very easy to assemble the colour in the bottle. Instructions were given on how long to leave the cream on depending on how light you wanted to go. The gloves were quite tight, I have average sized hands but if I had larger hands this would be a problem with fitting. The cream had a nice pleasant smell when applying and it was easy to apply with the brush. After washing my hair of the cream when applying the shampoo/conditioner it was very soothing. If left the cream on for 30 minutes and I had a honey colour effect which I was wanting. I was very happy with the outcome and would most definitely use this product again.
Tips: Just to follow the instructions exactly on time to leave the cream on the hair for the desired effect you are wanting.
Very satisfied with this product. I kept the dye in for slightly longer then the instructions said because I wanted the colour stronger. This product is very easygoing to apply, it comes with a special brush for easy and effective application. There was alot of dye to go around, so even people with the thickest hair wouldnt run out. The shampoo seemed to dry up my hair quite alot though. Long term this product is very pleasing, it lasts months and fades slowly but still looks nice. I would deffinitely use this product again and I strongly recommend it to anyone who would like a simple hair change :)
Tips: Keep the dye in for longer then what the instruction say if you want a stronger, brighter colour
I absolutely love this trend and wanted to try it for ages but was too scared due to some diy disasters with bleach..But after reading so many posititive reviews about this product i finally did it and i'm glad i did love the result! My hair is a medium brown and turned out exactly the same as the model's on the box.
This product is super easy to apply you simply squirt the bleach formula onto the brush and comb through. The brush itself is fantastic you will want to keep that, the gloves a quite small if you have larger hands or long fingers they may not fit.
I left the product to develop on my hair for 45 minutes and did notice instantly upon washing out that my hair had dried out a bit, but that was to be expected. The conditioning treatment did help to put a bit of moisture back into my hair although i think it could be better. After putting some oils through my hair once it had dried it still seems to be in really good condition.
I have nothing negative to say about this product it's amazing, will be redoing in a couple of months to further lighten up for summer!
Tips: Don't be afraid to try this it's so easy and safe!
This product was great at lighting my ends but so is many other bleaches. The instructions were really good and so were the tools that come with it. But buying this dye I thought it would have dark dye and bleach for the ends but it's just bleach. It is a quality product though.
Tips: The instructions are pritty good for this product. I suggest watching the video on there website first.
So easy to use and such a GREAT idea thank you Loreal! It smells great and is such a good value for money option and if you use it correctly the results look amazing! I have used this 3 times now and would definitely recommend this to others. Its a great way to gradually build up your desired ombre look and would even recommend this to amateurs its so easy and fun to use.
Tips: I left mine in for a little longer as I have quite thick hair, the results were awesome :)
I was very excited to try this out,I didn't expect some beautifully done salon ombre look but I wasn't expecting a better colour to have as my end result some strands the box colour took to and was perfect looking but a majority was a orange patchy mess just didn't look great. The brush really does not help it just tangles the hair so bad and still creates a deadline of colour between the two toned hair which looks horrible & is very hard to get the dye from the brush to the hair.Its a nicely packaged product with high quality items in the box gloves,brush etc instructions easy to understand, but its just not for me Only positive is that my hair was not not damaged but the dye at all even tho I then used the shade 4 after to try and lighten my hair still felt healthy and soft.
My hair is a medium brown colour with no dye in it at the moment. I have long hair, down to the middle of my back. I used this at home, by myself...if I was doing it again I would definitely have someone else do it for me! Found it pretty tricky to do by myself, harder than regular hair dye as you're having to be a lot more specific with where you put the dye. It's especially tricky when trying to so the back of your hair and I was just having to guess where I was putting it and how even it was. Although the little brush they give you to apply the product is a good idea, I found I lost a bit of product because it dropped off as I tilted the brush to reach certain parts of my hair. I would think a little brush attachment that could fit onto the top of the bottle would be a good idea so you could just squeeze the bottle and it would come through the brush and then you wouldn't have to keep stopping to apply more product to the brush. I was expecting the dye to turn my hair a bit ginger as that's what normally happens when I use blonding supermarket dyes but this actually came out a nice colour, very similar to the picture on the box. I don't think I would use this again unless I had someone else doing it for me, as I just found it too tricky and because of that it just hasn't come out as good as I was hoping for, in terms of evenness and blending. But it does do what it says on the box. I think it would be a lot better for someone with shorter hair.
