Prime for Perfection Hair Color Primer, 4 Fl Oz

My hair was way too dark from years of coloring using other hair color products. I could never find the exact color I wanted so having long hair, I would mix two colors, a very dark brown almost black and a brown. But t it always came out looking black with no brown at all. So I used the Madison Reed Prime for Perfection and it did very well on the upper half of my hair and only slightly on the bottom half. That’s why the four stars instead of five. I waited a day before I colored with the M Reed Barletta Brown and it came out beautiful. The bottom half is still just a little darker but it’s not too noticeable and I’m very happy with my color now. Yes, I do think you should try this prime treatment. My hair is back to looking more healthy and brought back my natural waves. I believe my hair had too much build up color on it and started looking dull and dry. Now it is shiny and wavy again and even takes a curl if I want it to. I really like Madison Reed Hair Products.

Bear with me- these pictures aren’t great, but, I got my hair done and it turned out just a tad too dark for me. I used this product and it worked amazing. I started out with a dark mocha brown and it turned out to my natural reddish brown color. Super freaking happy.

I have naturally brown-black/dark brown hair. Over the pandemic I decided to bleach my hair, as one does, and was blonde for a while. I slowly starting working in low lights to bring my hair back to my natural color as it grew out. I eventually got impatient and dyed my hair allover with a mix of 4NN and 4G dye. (I had been using 4NN to cover up grays at my roots and it was matching my natural hair color. I mixed in a little 4G as well for the ends, as my hair gets a little warm tint in the sun. I was expecting the result to be dark, but it was so inky/black looking. I lived with it for a few months to see if it would wash out/fade over time but it didn't change too much. I stumbled on this product, and thought it would be good to try before dyeing my ends again. This product is meant to be used immediately before dyeing your hair, but I decided to see the results before moving forward with the dye, and am super happy with it! I'm not going to dye my ends further at this point. Note: this product is essentially a liquid. I was expecting it to be more creamy based on the type of container and the illustrations in the instructions. There was definitely a little spillage, but ultimately I didn't need too much product to fully saturate my hair. I think I should be able to get 2 more uses out of it, which is great (my hair is fairly thick, layered, and mid-length -- about 2" past my collar bones at its longest point). As for impact on hair textured -- I just used it last night, but I don't feel like it dried out my hair at all. I shampooed twice per the instructions but then moved forward with my regular conditioner and leave-in products as I wasn't going to be dyeing my hair further at that time. If there's a notable change in the dryness of my hair that I think is attributable to this product, I'll post an update. Overall, this product delivers exactly as advertised. If you feel like your hair color is too intense or inky or dull, I'd suggest giving this a try!!

I have been using Madison Reed to color my hair since 2019. I have been so pleased with the quality of not only the permanent dye (it is made in Italy), but the whole kit. No resorcinol is very important to me as users of darker hair colors have higher ratios of cancer than our lighter haired sisters. My hair was looking darker than it should have as I always use MR Tuscany brown which is medium brown with gold. I purchase Prime for Perfection and did my first application yesterday. Yes, it was watery I had a towel draped on my neck and was over a wash basin as I applied the. Mixture mid length to ends that I divided into two sections. I actually liked how it saturated my hair easily. I used my hands and a wide tooth comb to make sure every strain was saturated leaving the roots alone. Simple, no smell, I pinned hair air up under the cap that was provided. Waited, then shampooed and rinsed. My hair was smooth shiny and I shade lighter. Very pleased and will continue to buy.

It worked as it was supposed to.
