Clairol Professional Beautiful Collection Advanced Gray Solutions | Semi-Permanent Hair Color with Gray Coverage for All Hair Textures | Packaging May Vary

I am super happy with this semi-permanent hair color. My goal is to grow out my gray underneath the semi permanent color so that I can one day wash out the color completely and see what’s going on there and then either have fun with semi permanent color or if I’m lazy or too old to care just let it go. I’m sorry about not posting a picture, but I’d rather not have my images on Amazon. Out of laziness I have been coloring my hair dark golden blonde with permanent color just so that the gray regrowth is less noticeable and I don’t have to color it the second it comes in. It’s been okay but I have felt a little washed out and I don’t like that red thing that happens at the roots when you lift to a couple shades lighter than your natural color. I think I’ve found the answer with using a combination of Rich Walnut and Golden Chestnut of this hair color. I start by using Rich Walnut on about the first inch of hair growth from my scalp. I do all of my roots this way and then using a gloved hand I put some Rich Walnut hair color and work it into the full length of just the darkest part of my hair in the back, underneath the hair that shows from the top. I am very careful to not put the Rich walnut on the top hairs – I want to keep them lighter. Then I work the Golden Chestnut into the rest of my hair, sometimes mixing a little Rich Walnut into it before applying it. I just make sure I have my whole hair saturated with the Golden Chestnut before starting the clock. It comes out beautifully! The roots are darker but it looks rich and natural – it’s kind of like adding low lights I guess. This method avoids that weird red roots issue but still gives you the lightness on top, like you’ve had highlights done. The transition from the dark to light color is very natural too, not abrupt. These particular colors are warm colors so if your skin can’t take a warm color this probably won’t work well, but for me it’s perfect. I really couldn’t be happier. I haven’t gone through a whole color cycle yet time wise. I bathe more often but I wash my hair 2x per week. I wash my hair now in the sink in cold water (no way I’m taking a cold shower haha) with sulfate free shampoo and the color is holding well, fading as expected but at a nice slow pace. This is the first semi permanent hair color that has stayed in my hair for more than a couple of washes. I am very, very happy.

Sandy blonde is a new color, NO RED!! I love clairol advance grey semi permanent color since I perm my hair. So.much better than chemical colors. Also great is with no processing you can reuse bottle a few times.

Easy to apply squeeze directly from the bottle and work through damp hair. No developer or mixing needed. Gentle formula It’s ammonia-free and peroxide-free, using “Advanced O₂ Technology” to develop color with air, which helps minimize damage and dryness. Adds shine & feels conditioning Good between salon colorings Goo to use it as a refresh or touch-up product when between permanent treatments. Affordable Priced low compared with salon and permanent hair dye Gray coverage varies Fades fairly quickly Because it’s semi-permanent, color will gradually fade — typically within up to ~12 shampoos — and may need reapplication to maintain coverage. Not ideal for resistant gray Very coarse or stubborn gray strands find it doesn’t fully cover or the gray comes back quickly. Instructions and timing Directions are a bit vague

This worked well covering the gray on my head. Not so good for the gray in my beard. 5 stars for of ease of use and how well it worked on my heads hair.

I've used this product several times over the past 3 years and have been happy with the pigments in addition to the moisturization. However, it definitely seems that Clairol has altered their formula, and the end result is extremely disappointing. I used 7n, which I noticed had an unappealing green hue to it when I was washing out my coloring bowl during processing. It was a very poo-colored greenish brown. After rinsing out per the instructions, I gently blow dried my hair only to find it too had turned this putrid shade of green. Not only that, but my hair was as dry as straw. I have NEVER had this experience with the color before, and given I ordered two bottles on two separate days, I will not accept this was a one-off batch error. I've counted on the Beautiful Collection to be a non-damaging, hydrating alternative to permanent dyes, but this was absolutely my last time using this line of colors.

I wish I would have discovered this a decade ago. It’s a temporary shadow root perfect for very grey hair that you don’t want to get too dark with frequent root recoloring. Also cheaper and did not stain. Highly highly recommend

I'm new to hair dye. Never done it but I have seen my mom use box dyes before. I thought this would work the same (hide grays) but it didn't. Originally, I bought 3w since I thought it'd match my dark brown hair better and I found a video on YouTube from Clairol where this color and 3w was applied to a natural hair model. I should have expanded the video to full screen because my gray hairs were colored similar to the model's - meaning they were still noticeable/obvious, just not as obvious as full gray. I only have them at my temples and sparsely sprinkled throughout the rest of my mane, but I was hoping the dye would color them so dark you can't see any light hairs. Instead, they're still light and, despite the deceptively dark product, my hair isn't anywhere near the shade of the dye. Feel a little bamboozled, but I guess I shouldn't have expected so much from a semi-permanent. Only good thing I can say is that it does last a long time. It's still in my hair months later. Haven't used it since then so I can see my gray (well, actually silver) hairs at the roots and the dyed hairs beneath them. Don't think I will use it again. Made my hair feel a bit drier too depsite deep conditionining it afterwards. I applied this to my whole head which turned my dark brown hair almost black and killed my natural highlights. Can't wait for this stuff to finally go away. It's a shame you can't make your whole head go gray/silver - naturally and realistically. My silver hairs are very pretty and metallic but I'll probably have to wait until my 60s or 70s before all my hair turns silver.

Beautifully shiny, natural-looking black color. No running or transferring on pillowcases. Great to use after using a hair relaxer. Easy to use.
