Revlon Colorstay Longwear Permanent Cream Colour

This hair dye is very good and at a great price. Covers all greys. Lovely shiny colour and does not stain my skin.

Brilliant absorbant hair colour.Best I've tried in 20yrs.The red stays longer than most reds which are notorious for fading and there's a booster shot too.Good old fashioned make and very reasonably priced.love it.

Really good colour

So decided to add some highlights/ombre to my natural auburn hair with old ombre in. The dye that i used went so clumpy and messy that it just got everywhere so i more or less bleached most of my head as had to make it even. This left is orange, brassy and yellow. The first 2 images are when i applied Olia 10.1 on top. This removed most of the orange and brass but left it warm yellow with very bright parts. I then used loreal excellence 7.11 ultimate ash blond. This was great and removed all yellow and most orange but left it looking a bit dull and green in places. Picture with hair up is from that dye. You can't see it well but in light you could seen the dirty green grey in roots but my ends were a lovely ashy blonde.The last 3 images are from this hair dye. I know i really shouldn't have dyed it again but i needed the green gone, and you need warm put back in. So i chose this becomes it still had some warm tones but also still have an ash base. My main focus was roots area as this still had some orange tones.When i put it on, the smell reminded me of my late grandma's perfume, wasn't overly potent. It went on well and i noticed it was going quite dark quickly. I left this on my roots for about 25 minutes and under 10 for my ends as i could see it was looking almost muddy black! So i panicked washing it off lol The conditioner was nice, nothing that special. I did do a deep condition on my hair afterwards. My hair is all the same colour now, it is more like a very light teddy brown, only way i can explain it but i really like the colour, it's closer to my natural colour and has removed most of the grey green pigment. With a few washes this will eventually wash out.So this review is for anyone whose got red tones in their hair and bleach has gone wrong and they need a fix lol I wish i found this sooner and just skipped all the other dyes and toners.

Lovely warm colour (Caramel) - it does have a slight red tint to it that similar colours lack. Some might not like that, but I like the additional warmth. The colour lasts really well, much better than clourants that cost three times as much, and there's no difference in the sheen or conditioning. I only came to this after the L'Oreal colour with the same 6.35 number proved to be difficult to find and I'm glad as this ones last better and I really like the colour.

Pros: Excellent coverage, especially greys; gives a deep rich colour; no strong smell and didnt irritate my sensitive scalpCons: it's very dark, it's supposed to be a 4 but it's more of a 2, it's almost black which isn't what I wanted and doesn't match the colour on the box; you'll need 2 boxes for anything longer than a bob; the undertone is purple; dried my hair outMy hair before was a cool light brown with no patchiness, it's now almost black with purple, I really dislike the colour and wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for an actual 4 brown - for a darker brown it's excellent, not patchy and covers well

I have been getting my hair done at a salon for a number of years but the price is so high these days at a salon and I couldn’t justify over 100 pounds every 6 weeks, especially when I have dark nearly black hair! This product was amazing, it covered any greys and my roots and I refreshed the ends! No breakage or damage, my hair is so soft, even colour and I do have a lot of hair and only needed two boxes! Amazing, I will be using this product from now on and probably saving a fortune also :)

Pros:Colour matches the box, a lot of browns have copper undertones, this one does not. See 1st pic in natural day light.Easy to mix and applyWashes off skin easilySmell is subtle and freshConditioner leaves hair soft and shiny.Cons:Gloves are tiny. I have small hands and they barely reached my wristsDye leaves hair coarse and sticky. Conditioner does correct this but rinsing the dye out before applying conditioner is difficultWhile it dyes greys, these are noticeably lighter in colour than the rest and the colour does seem to fade there faster too. Bit disappointing as the promise of colouring grey is why I tried the product. See pic 2. Lighter brown is where greys are shining through.Overall a decent dye but it's no better on grey hair than most others I've tried.
