“I love the smell and colour however after 2 weeks I find that the colour has more or less faded after a few washs and I don't even wash my hair everyday so in this regard it is disappointing. Comparing this to other brands, I'm afraid I won't be re-purchasing it. Also, I don't why but my hair became rather dry and frizzy after each wash which requires a signifcant amount of argan oil so sadly I won't be re-purchasing it. Thank you for the kit - that piece was a great idea and I like it a lot!”

“Very Happy With The Product, I Ordered Two Tubes Of Colour And Developer As My Hair Is Quite Thick But To My Suprise I Only Had To Use One. The Colour Turned Out Beautiful, With A Beautiful Shine To It. Will Most Definitely Use Again”

“Once I've coloured my hair feels silky soft and lightweight. Much much MUCH better than other brands!”

“It doesn't smell bad, the directions are easy to follow. My hair looked completely natural. TOTALLY WORTH IT!”

“My hair is super soft with no greys peeking through. It even smells lovely. When I'm outside it just shines and looks so natural. I love it!”

“I love the IDEA of The Shade, but the experience wasn't fantastic. First of all, the packaging was great and the little at-home kit with the brush and bowl are made well. Unfortunately, the barrier oil smelled awful; I didn't even put it on and decided to use some moisturiser instead. The hair dye itself was fine and the colour came out nice. I had a bit of staining around my hairline, so I went to use the dye remover wipe. Wowza! Big mistake. It felt like my skin was burning, and I had to wash it off straight away. Overall, this system might work well for those who aren't as conscientious about the chemicals they put on their skin (it is hair dye, after all), but I won't be using it again. It seems like a total waste to buy the whole kit when I will only be using the colour cream.”

“The color stays on longer than others and covers grey better than any I've tried. It's less expensive and does a better job all together. Plus I do like the color as it fades away!”

“The Shade kit was easy to use and left my my hair feeling soft. Very happy the outcome of the colour”

Helpful Report

“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.”

Helpful Report

“The color covered grey better, made my hair shinier, and was just the right shade! I honestly didn't expect the results to be any better than my usual brand, but it definitely is. I am impressed, unexpectedly so, but impressed.”

Helpful Report
