What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing describes 7RG as dark blonde with rose-gold highlights, while customer feedback includes reports that the result looks very dark. It says the colour does not cover grey 100%, despite a separate claim of optimal coverage for first greys, so treat grey blending as limited. Colour duration is stated as up to 28 washes, while customers report mixed longevity and wash-out experiences. Follow the directions, carry out an allergy alert test 48 hours beforehand, and do a strand test if timing is uncertain. The listing also says semi-permanent colour cannot lighten hair.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

People seeking a temporary rose-gold blonde tone and added shine rather than permanent colour.
First-time colourers or anyone wanting to experiment with a shade, provided they do not need full grey coverage or lightening.

Less suited to

Anyone seeking permanent colour, guaranteed full grey coverage, or a lighter result from their current hair colour.
Buyers who need the result to match a specific shade without first checking suitability on their hair.

Customer feedback highlights ease of use and hair feeling soft or gentle, while reports about shade, effectiveness, grey coverage, longevity and value are mixed. Some appreciate the colour result, but others say it looks very dark, does not cover grey well or does not wash out as expected. This matters if you need predictable shade matching or reliable grey coverage. The product is listed as semi-permanent and cannot lighten hair, so it is better suited to adding tone than making a major colour change. The overall rating distribution leans positive, but it does not explain individual experiences.
