I’m so glad I found this when my copper fades away or my natural light blonde roots show this hides all of them I do put it on the top of my head roots when I start and then finish with doing them again as first time it was a light orange and didn’t look so good but just giving a bit of space between first application and the second application really helps sort that out. 10 minutes later I wash it out and then smile because it looks like the vibrant copper colour my hairdresser put on in January. Definitely use gloves it will wash off but can take some time. I know this is a bit more expensive than some but it’s so worth it and when this is washed out my hair is so soft and silky snd doesn’t feel damaged. My first bottle lasted 6 months as a little goes a long way at the start my hair was chin length now it Is about 10cm over shoulders This week as the first bottle felt light I stood it upside down for a few minutes and then took the cap off carefully and a lot of colour was still there and I had to put some of it back into the bottle from my gloved hand so as yet I’ve not started the second bottle. Excuse my messy hair.
