It is ammonia free, so even though it says it is a permanent color, I wasn't happy with the results and didnt get 100% grey coverage, and I don't even have that much grey and have fine hair that is healthy and not porous. I think this HerbaShine is great for younger women who are just starting to develop some grey and want to hide it but without having to have a solid root line coming out every 6 weeks. It will blend away young grey really well.

The color at the roots was different than the rest of my hair. It washed out way faster than it said, and I only wash my hair 2 x a week. If you wash daily, this color won't last 2 weeks. I also had tangled ends, it made my hair feel worse.

I did get a good shine, but that was it. Not worth it and too expensive.



I wont' buy it again, only because I have too much grey I want covered now.

barely anypigment and washes out super quickly

I got this product free as part of the review club and will not be buying it in the future. It says that it will cover 70% of greys, but I don't think it colours white at all. I am blond, with red highlights so as I age my hair turns white, not grey. Conditioner is nice and makes my hair soft, but I didn't like the smell of either the dye or the conditioner. Gloves weren't fun either. Overall a disappointment although it is nice that it is ammonia free.

I had a mix up with the colour I requested when I was selected by chick advisor to try this product. I recieved a dark blonde that looked like a light brown. I contacted CA and lucked out on recieving another colour I wanted a chose #800 blonde because it looked similar to my current colour.

Smell: No ammonia but it still smells bad [when I was dying my hair the room was filled with family and they all scattered out]. The conditioner faired no better.

Product apperance and use: Looks similar to other products but the bottle cap tab was hard to twist off.. had to bite off the top. During application I found it very difficult to squeeze the bottle to get the product out and thus took me longer to apply.

Colour effectiveness: I had such high hopes for this product. My hair is a medium golden blonde shade to begin with and this product dyed my hair almost a grey colour. Everyone was shocked and horrified.

Application and use: Very sticky and difficult product to wash out [the dye] took almost 10 minutes and my hair is cut just below my ears. The conditioner as well was thick and sticky and very difficult to wash out of my hair.

Look and feel: Again the end result was the colour I wanted [thus I am looking for ways to remove out ASAP] On the plus side the goopy conditioner made my hair easier to brush. But I didn't like the way the conditioner is in a packet and not a little sealable tube. My hair feels a little "odd" not crunchy [as when I've dyed with permnante colour] but a cross between crunchy and soft-ish.
