I usually use feria or nice and easy as I'm always colorific my hair at hoem after I had a bad experience at salon ,this one was ok it didn't cover my roots and I scrubbed it in good I previously tried to bleach my hair with colorista the other night and made a mess this smelled okay didn't stain my skin but colored all my hair except my roots where I needed it ,it's an okay hair dye but probably won't buy again
