I have normal, frizzy, tired, middle aged hair - normally I colour at home with known products and they don't cover the grey very well, lack shine and seem a bit monotone and flat. The Shade however! I tried mahogany brown on clean hair washed 2 days ago, and the grey cover is outstanding! There is tone, shine and bounce - without any extra work or product, it's already more curly bouncy than frizz and the colour is so rich! 5 thumbs up from me.
