“The colour was great, loved it. But the dye itself leaves colouration on any top you wear for at least 2-3 washes. Don't wear anything white.”

“I loved the packaging - it had everything I needed like hair clips, a cover for my shoulders, oil for my hair line - a complete salon experience at home. The product itself didnt have too strong of a smell but it definitely was not enough for anyone with hair longer than shoulder length or with thick hair. It didnt make a huge difference to my hair colour but my hair does have lighter tones to it now.”

“A luxe hair colouring kit This is a great little hair colouring kit, definitely a cut above the standard supermarket offerings. I was selected as part of the trial team, and chose the second darkest shade, Natural black brown. When the kit arrived, I was impressed with the accessories that were sent along with the colouring kit – A bowl and application brush, hair sectioning clips, front fastening shoulder cape and plastic mat to catch spills were included, all packaged in a nifty little drawstring bag. The kit itself arrived in a neat black cardboard box, which has quite a luxury look to it. The product itself was very simple to use, your standard ‘mix developer and colourant together and apply’ scenario. I experienced no irritation from this colourant and the colour itself is beautiful, a true neutral black/brown, without a hint of orange/red undertone to it. I’ve marked it down by one star from a perfect review for two reasons – I struggled to do my entire head of hair with one kit (I do however, have long hair) and it has taken a couple of washes for the excess dye to be completely gone, without runoff. Otherwise, an excellent product! Any Tips?: If you have long hair, you’re probably going to want two kits 🙂 Ideal For…: People who love getting their colour on, but like to do it themselves!”
