Revlon ColorSilk Tone + Gloss + Care Demi-Permanent, 5 Medium Brown

My hair started like most around the temples and top crowding me with gray hair but the rest of it stayed dark and then I found this and it’s not permanent yet somehow it lasts for 28 washings and as it washes out it seems to blend the color with the gray and doesn’t look like you’re trying to be way younger than you are. It’s a very natural way to be your age but look a little younger.

Great hair color. I love the way it made my hair soft and shiny after I applied the color. It made my hair a tiny lighter which is what I was going for.

I love this color because it gradually washes out and lasts so much longer than permanent with a lot less damage.

I was buying Revlon Color Silk Beautiful Color which is permanent dye. My hair is looking a bit fried and broken around my face. I decided to try Revlon Tone+Gloss+Care a demi-permanent. It is suppose to wash out after 28 washes. I usually purchased dark brown but decided to go with med brown. The demi dye left my hair darker, too dark, which is odd being a med brown. Maybe it to makeup for the gradual washout. The Gloss+Care was pretty worthless. Two small packages of product you put on after dyeing. The only thing they did was to make my scalp itch with a few little bumps. I can't say how long it will last as I only have washed once. It looked better after that first wash, got rid of the heavy oil conditioner/care stuff. Color held. Below is some AI research that I did that others might find useful. Is it true? who knows, but better than nothing. While both are ammonia-free, their formulas and goals are very different, which directly affects damage levels: Feature: ColorSilk Beautiful Color (Permanent) Tone + Gloss + Care (Demi-Permanent) Penetration Depth: Deep into cortex (inner layer) Shallow — just inside or on cuticle Oxidizing Agent: Higher % hydrogen peroxide Lower % hydrogen peroxide Color Lasting Power: Permanent — grows out Fades over ~28 washes Gray Coverage ✅ 100% full coverage ⚠️ ~60% — only blends grays Damage Potential: Moderate (even without ammonia) Low (gentler formulation) Damage Difference: ~30–50% more damage than dem (gentlest option)

I'm starting to get some grays, so I started dying my hair using Revlon Colorsilk, which is permanent. I liked the results, but over time, I felt that it was drying my hair too much and also looking dull. Now I use this gloss and my hair looks healthier, softern and shinier. It cover/blends grays quite well. The downside is that it doesn't last much. In winter I wash my head about 2 times a week, that's 14 washes per month. I think I need to apply this once a month or perhaps 6 weeks. Thus, it doesn't last the 28 washes as it claims. But it's still good and I plan to keep using it. Bonus, you don't get that harsh grow effect as you get with permanent dyes. You probably also want to touch up your permament hair color each 4-6 weeks anyway, so I'd rather do it with this gloss that nourshes my hair.

My go to hair color in Medium brown shade, I bought this on Amazon so many times when i need to color my hair which is every two or three months the most. The price is affordable and yet it is a very good semi-permanent hair color. Just need to retouch every two or three months. This works very well for me so i will continue buying this when needed. Highly recommend!

Made my fried and bleached hair so incredibly Glossy and chcolate brown. This is my third time reordering because it does fade pretty fast, after only a month, but it looks gorgeous, and the price is reasonable. I attached a photo of the before which was my thrice- bleached hat dyed with an ugly brown dye I regret. I bought this to cover it up.

Fades very quickly. Only lasted two weeks.
