Beautiful Advanced Gray Solutions 2n Espresso Bean, 3 oz

Es cierto que se cae súper rápido el color pero este tono es perfecto para las de cabello castaños oscuros naturales. No maltrata y no huele mal.

I wanted a semi-permanent dye to clean-up the sun bleaching that my hair had accumulated over the summer, opting for semi-permanent as I hoped it wouldn't be as damaging as permanent had been in previous years. This stuff is unlike any other semi-permanents I've used in the past -- it smells like regular dye (terrible), and dries your hair out just as bad (maybe worse). I had to check the bottle thrice after dying as I couldn't believe this was 'semi permanent', I even used also used a fairly strong dandruff shampoo to test how bad the colour would run and it actually runs a bit less regular dye. I have a feeling this colour will last just as long as a permanent dye, the colour is nice and natural -- not as intense as a permanent dye -- but nothing like what you would expect from something labeled semi-permanent. Pros: Nice natural colour, seems like it will last long Cons: Fries your hair just like permanent dye

The color really covers my grays. Happy with this product but you have to build the color. One time coloring is not enough. Perfect when you are in between coloring.

My hair is naturally curly. For many years, I had it chemically straightened with a relaxer. But, I had to quit with that treatment when my hair started to go grey. It required a treatment so mild that it was hard not to overprocess. That said, I know that if I use a permanent solution, then I can not go back to a relaxer ever. And, after four or five years of growing my hair out (shoulder length, no big chop), I don't want to go through that again. So, I have been stuck in limbo about how to cover the grays. Done properly, this works well. (Unfortunately, hair dressers did not do a through enough job for this inexpensive solution to work.). If I apply it like a bleach - thin sections, working it in, coating both sides generously - it works well. I like the results even better when I coat my hair with the red protein filler (at Sally's) that blondes use when they want to go brunette. This helps to fill in the greys and warm up the hair. It takes a long time for the color to fade. And, it can be applied to dry hair and then placed under heat for touch-ups in the front. Of course, as I gradually get more gray, they start to show through sooner. Also, putting moisture on - which is a must for curly hair - also shortens how long it lasts. Some things that help are (1) applying this after washing and conditioning my hair (which is what stylist do), (2) rinse with cold water to remove excess color (3) it seems to do better if I let it set and dry before applying moisture. So, I might use a leave-in conditioner and let it dry first. I also like to rinse off my deep conditioner in the front, apply this to the edges, and then get back under the heat for a bit to touch up my hairline in the front. I like the fact that this is easy to clean. I wash any clothing in hot water. It tends to rinse away in water. To be sure I will prewash the tub or sink and then scrub with an abrasive cleaner like Comet (yes, they still sell it. at the dollar store. and it still works.) or a Magic Eraser just to be sure. But, clean-up is pretty easy with this as compared to most other hair coloring. So, I feel that this is a great way to cover grays. And, I love that it is economical too.

This hair color barely covers grey and doesn't last at all, at least in my hair. It might work for others.
