I have been colouring my hair since I was fifteen, I have also paid NZ$400-NZ$600 to sit in the salon for 5 hours having a colour applied. So fed up with this I stripped the colour and allowed my natural grey to shine through during all of the Covid "stuff". Although I was complimented on my natural grey/white colour it never felt like ME so I started to do a bit of research as I prefer a temporary colour which fades so the grey root growth is not so obvious over the 6 weeks, and there are virtually no colours that give this option (unless I want bright pink, purple or blue hair!) Then I found The Shade which offers different levels of colour depending on what you want so I went with volume 5 as a one off first-liked the colour but didnt quite cover those pesky grey roots so chnaged it to Volume 10 as a subscription and it is great-so natural looking and a good friend of mine recently said dont ever change that hair colour it is so perfect for you. My hair feels so much softer, also have scalp psoriasis and there is no stinging/burning or irritation at all. Since finding The Shade I am much more confident in getting a consistently great colour at home and have gone on to purchase the peppermint shampoo, leave in curl cream (I love the smell and texture without stickiness) and protect and perfect spray. I have not been disappointed with any of the products and my hair is in the best condition it has even been in. Take the chance you will not regret it :)
