My go-to colour

I love this hair colour, so much so that I always have a back up supply tucked away incase I can't find it (only a few places sell it in NZ) right now I have 6 boxes of it in the cupboard so I won't run out. It is always affordable, easy to apply, doesn't destroy my hair, isn't too stinky/ have those chemically burn your eyes type of fumes and doesn't particularly stain my skin and if you get any stains from this they usually wash off within a day which most colourings will take a week or so for me to fade away (I always use the darkest shades), the best part for me about this colouring is the shade is the perfect super deep blackest brown (my shade Soft Black) which doesn't look un-natural for my skintone as jet black does and has some warm undertones/hints of brown tones in the sunlight. I have been using this 3 years now and use a box each month or so to touch up the roots. Sometimes it is on sale for $5-6 so I stock up when I can. Definitely the best blackest brown hair colour I have ever found and I just love the after colour conditioner that comes with the pack - it smells divine and reminds me of the Revlon Outrageous hair product line which got discontinued in the early 00's!

Revlon Colorsilk Beautiful Color

I brought this in Burgandy.

I am fair with freckles and naturally light brown with red reflecks in my hair.

I tend to colour my hair reds/dark reds or violets.

I wanted to get away from my usual red hair, soemtimes it would turn an orange tinge when it came time to recolouring.

so I opted for a burgandy thinking I'd have a violet tinge to my hair...

NO!!! It went black :(

I almost cried. Black on me looks extremely wrong. I looked sick and pale and just urgh. Especially without makeup!

Once it toned down , which took a few weeks it was ok. Better than the freshly coloured freak out.

It does cover greys and has an even colour result tho.

My hair was super damaged after colouring either.

I wouldn't use this colour again as I don't like the super dark colour it goes.

But you must always remember colour on colour goes darker.

Maybe I had left it on too long?

I would purchase a dark red from this range :)

Tips: If you don't want it to turn dark almost black looking like mine did then perhaps leave on a little less than 30 mins :)

Bargain!

I recently dyed my hair blonde and i was stuck at a very unnatural stage of yellow/orange hair which was not the greatest look. I went to the warehouse and saw this on special for 5 dollars so i grabbed the colour ultra light ash blonde. I left it in my hair for 45 minutes, I did experience a slight itching/burning feeling on my scalp in the first 10-12 minutes but that was probably due to the bleaching and colour process i had put my hair through in the previous 2 weeks. As this product was so cheap i did not have very high expectations as i just wanted a quick fix to tone down the orange colours i had in my hair. To my suprise this product lightened my hair 2-3 shades, evened out the overall colour and definitely toned down the brassy colours (it still wasn't blonde but it was definitely a lot closer than when i started). This product also left my hair incredibly soft and shiny which surprised me again due all the bleaching just 2 weeks before. I think for the price this product is definitely worth a try and i would recommend the shade Ultra light ash blonde to anyone in the process of going brown to blonde at home!

My HG Hair Dye

I think a lot of people would be surprised to find how good this is, given it's typically the cheapest permanent hair dye you'll find in store!

I used 03 Ultra Light Sun Blonde for a long period of time and recently switched to 05 Ultra Light Ash Blonde for a change, it blended seamlessly.

I'm always happy with the results and will continue to repurchase this. It love the conditioner that comes with it and wish Revlon would sell it separately it's that good!

Tips: If you're going blonde, definitely buy a purple shampoo to help tone down unwanted yellow and brassy tones.

Affordable color

Revlon colorsilk it a good product.It has good coverage, even covers grey hair. The smell is not bad. The price point is good and there are always coupons if you look around. I feel it does not last long enough and becomes dull easily.

Super cheap but fades quickly

I bought this from The Warehouse as it was $5 for a box. I have really long hair and need two boxes so I usually just get whatever is cheapest. I didn't really have the highest hopes but I thought it didn't really matter since I was only 'investing' $10.I chose the shade black, I have darker brown hair and a couple of greys so I thought that this should work out quite well.

This is just like any other home dye I've used where you have to mix up the active ingredients and then just apply it. I found this did not smell as bad as some others I have used. Sometimes I even have to go outside for fresh air every now and then with others but I had no issues with this one at all. I'm not sure if these packs are bigger than others or they just spread further but one box almost did my entire head so I was really surprised. I did end up using the second box as I still had a few bits to dye but I think if you normally need just two boxes with other dye that you would be able to get away with one box from this range. I had no bad reactions to this dye at all, I wasn't expecting too, so I'm glad nothing happened.

I did leave this on for a bit longer than what it said but only because I lost track of the time. Rinsing out is just like any other dye, this will stain the shower for a few days but every other dark dye I've used has done the same thing. The conditioner this comes with is only ok, I usually love how hair dye conditioners make my hair feel but this didn't really do anything special and it didn't even smell amazing!

I dyed my hair about 8 weeks ago now and I did notice the first few times that I shampooed, that my hair felt super dry. After I put conditioner on it felt fine though but I was a bit worried I'd damaged my hair for a while. The pain in the butt thing with this is that even now, every time I wash my hair, colour will run out. It's not a massive amount but I can definitely tell that the black has faded a lot now and some brown strands are coming through. My greys stayed dyed for over a month, but I know that they don't hold colour as well as normal hair strands.

I'm a bit lazy with hair dying and I usually leave it until I really need it before I redye so it bugs me that this fades away. I'd possibly use this again if I really didn't want to fork out a lot of money but I think I'd rather save for a better dye. If you regulary dye your hair, this could be a perfect cheap product for you.

Ash Blonde

This was a pretty average product. I didn't hate it but I didn't exactly love it either. The smell was bad. Not strong or anything, just strange. Applied to my regrowth (natural hair colour dirty blonde) before putting the leftovers through the rest of my hair. Takes a lot longer to lighten than any other blondes I've ever used (started lightening after about half hour) Also turned the blonde already in my hair a strawberry blonde. Its not terrible but I really wanted the "Ash Blonde" colour. Also got a bit itchy after a while. I wouldn't use it again solely because I'm a bit concerned about the fact it was strong enough to take my wall back to the jib where i accidentally spilt a bit (can't be good)

Easy fade

I used this product in the shade Black.

Like most other home dye boxes inside was 2 bottle's that you mix together and just apply to your hair. The 3rd bottle is a sachet which is the conditioner. It's pretty straight forward and pretty easy. Mix to active ingredients together and apply to your hair.

Of course if it's just a reminder growth application, you just apply to the rest growth area. All over dye, apply it all over. In my case it was an all over dye.

There was a really faint smell to the dye, but unlike most it wasn't over powering and it wasn't chemically smelling.

Straight away I could see my hair changing in colour, I left mine in for longer than they say, I always do. Not by much just by 5-10 minutes. I hoped in the shower and rinsed the dye out and I swear more dye came out than went on! A good massage with the conditioner sachet left my hair feeling amazing. Almost like a salon wash!

All in all the hair dye worked in the moment. Sadly it faded sooooo fast! Within 4 weeks in noticed fade and had to replace dye 5 weeks in. For this reason I will not re purchase this product.

Tips: Make sure you wear the gloves provided, they save your hands!

Amazing. I LOVEEE IT!!

I have been using this hair dye for years now and I have never once had a single problem with it. In the package it comes with very detailed and easy to understand instructions. It comes with gloves. The process is very simple and quick to do. My hair always comes out even and very vibrant. It also comes with a conditioner that makes my hair so soft. I do have almost waist length hair so I have to use two boxes but I buy it from the Wal-Mart in my town and it is 2.97. So I dye my hair in under 10 dollars and it feels like I got it professionally done. I would recommend it anyone who is looking for a full coverage, vibrant, cheap, and long lasting hair dye

Tips: If you have long hair I would buy two boxes. Make sure you start from the roots and then proceed to do the rest. It sounds icky but the dirtier my hair is the darker the dye comes out and it last longer. Make sure to use the conditioner provided within 24-48 hours after dying your hair, it makes my dye last longer and it softens your hair significantly

Color silk shade black

Used this in my hair just last week to do a ombre look. Chose it because it was only $5 each at The Warehouse and thought that it was a reasonable price for a good quality dye. It covered the several grey hairs that I had very well, had a pleasant smell compared to other dyes I've tried. The only issues I had was that it wasn't a very glossy black, it was more matte. I had to use 2 bottles for the half of my hair that was going black and it made my scalp a wee bit dry and flakey. But for $5 each I can't really complain.
