Napro Palette Intensive Caring Colour.

I bought this because I like to try new products to see how they measure up against each other and also because it's easy on the purse strings. I found it to be easy to use and easy to follow instructions but as with most hair dyes I find the gloves they supply are too short for my fingers and end up splitting and dying my hands the colour of my hair which isn't easy to remove. I find that it does cover evenly and gives a nice vibrant colour but it fades pretty fast as is to be expected with cheap dyes though I guess. The packaging is a bit cheap looking which I guess reflects the price well so it doesn't appeal to me a great deal.

So I got this as it was cheap. Some cheap products are amazing, and others, well not so much. The colour wasn't what had been stated on the box. I bought a brown. It turned out red. Luckily it was a nice red The only good thing about this product was it left my hair nice and soft.

I used this once in the colour Rosewood Violet 5-99 in my crusade (and ongoing as we speak) to find the perfect shade of red for me. Whether light or dark it doesnt make a difference I'm on a mission.

The dye is probably the cheapest you will find in a supermarket, department store etc but it was not the price that drew me, but the intense violet shade on the box. I was inlove and there was no holding me back. I tried the violet red in the Garnier Olia but I was hopelessly disappointed in the dark (no red) pigment and the fact that it washed out quickly. So I was having medium to medium well hopes for this one.

Opening the box I was shocked because there is literally a smidge of colour developer in the bottle and not nearly enough colour creme. The smell was quite chemical and pungent which I hated but on I went. The colour was not enough to fully saturate my hair, but thinly spread it went a long way. The creme was not thick and rich as you get with other home dyes so I worried that I wasnt going to get any colour through my hair.

I let the colour develop for about 1 hour (maybe a bit more), and I'm pleased that I didnt have any itchy scalp like I always get from dyes with ammonia. I got some of the colour on my skin but it cleaned up great and no purple residue after my shower.

Rinsing was not great because it took about 3-4 shampoos and then conditioner to get all the red out of my hair.

By the time I had rinsed I was so fed up that I chose this dye that I already couldnt wait to re-colour my hair, but then the twist occurs. I blowdried and GHD my hair and my oh my the colour was PERFECT. It was really the most intense violet I had on my hair and the lasting power was really great. You can go a few with outstanding colour.

So my frustration is do I re-purchase when I hate the colouring process, but absolutely love the colour result? I have not decided yet, but I would say if you dont have long hair and dont mind spending the entire day in the shower for an intense violet the by all means this is the colour for you. Should I re-purchase I would need 2 boxes for my hair length which is past my shoulders and middle of my back. Its not a bad colour at all and if you are looking for great violet then this is for you.

I picked up some of this hair dye from the supermarket when it was on special for $7. I have really long hair so I need two boxes, $14 for two boxes is a really good idea in my opinion! I bought the purple shade, I can't remember the exact name but the shade range seems rather limited in this brand and it was the only 'colour' other the natural hair colors.

I decided to bleach my hair first so I could get an intense hair colour. I have medium brown hair and doing this in the past with other hair dye brands has given me great results. I left it about a week between bleaching and then colourings.

Inside the pack is just the standard assortment of products that you get in any other hair dye box. I had a quick read of the instructions and they are also the same as usual. I found the scent of the hair dye strong, but not too overpowering. Much better than the bleach by Far!

Washing it out took forever and I didn't find the conditioner that it came with too special. I usually love hair dye conditioners but this one didn't wow me.

After drying my hair, I was in love with the colour. I got a really nice dark purple that was even more intense in the sun. My current profile pic shows the colour. Unfortunately, every time I washed my hair i could see colour running down the drain. I only washed my hair twice a week but after a few weeks my hair had visible fading. I didn't use a specific colour shampoo set so I'm not sure if that would have helped. Fast forward a couple of months and my hair is now a light pinky red. It's OK but so not th purple that i Loved!

I wouldn't use the purple colour again from this brand but I'm thinking about dying my hair black next and I've never one that dark before so i thought i might use this brand again and it will probably fade so if i don't like it, it will be OK. I wouldn't recommend if you want a long lasting colour.

This product is very drying. It did give good coverage of my greys though and lasted the same as any other but because of the drying I wont use it again. Great price though!

I have tired many different brands of hair dye over the years. I found that this brand wash out of my hair a lot quicker than other brands. I generally use highly recommended shampoos & conditioners for dyed hair but it did not seem to make a difference with Napro Palette Intensive Caring Colour. I felt as though my hair was 'coarse'. I am not sure if it has to do with a women's hair type? or genetics? as to which hair dye suites who best but I did not find this to be one of mine :(

I have used every self hair colour brand out there, this brand wasn't something i would use again.

I have thick long hair and the Napro bottles seemed smaller than other brands so it would take 2-3 bottles to fully saturate my hair, and after using the conditioner it provides, my hair would still be dry and frizzy. i hated the smell too. Yuck. The instructions are clear and easy, packaging is ok, but there are definitely better products out there.

Inexpensive for a reason. It does do the job, and it is cheap, however, I'm sick of watching my colour wash down the drain every time I shower. It never lasts as long as other products, and it really grips the skin when you dye your hair. It would almost be beneficial to also wear the gloves when rinsing out as it has coloured my hands and nails too. I would probably use it again though, as it is inexpensive and it does leave my hair incredibly shiny and has a pleasant fragrance, and is cheap to buy.

I have to say on my non grey hair , it worked pretty well Unfortunately on my greys it did not cover any of them . I made sure l put formula on my greys first , allowing the appropriate time as recommended on instruction sheet Although all this was done it did not cover my grey hair A good effect was achieved on my non grey hair Thanks
