What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing gives differing longevity claims: up to 32 shampoos in the current feature copy and up to 28 washes in an FAQ. Customer feedback also varies, including reports that colour fades after about three weeks. Shade depth, grey coverage and hair-condition experiences are mixed, so results are not assured.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

  • Buyers seeking a semi-permanent Chocolate shade and a conditioning, ammonia-free colour option.
  • People wanting a home hair-colouring kit who are prepared to follow the instructions and complete a patch test.

Less suited to

  • Anyone needing permanent colour or a guaranteed level of grey coverage.
  • Buyers who need a predictable shade result or a precisely assured duration before the colour fades.

Customer feedback highlights ease of application and a glossy finish, while reports on the exact shade, grey coverage, longevity, value and hair condition are mixed. Some describe the colour as darker than expected or say it fades after about three weeks, while others report good grey blending and lasting colour.

  • Customers appreciate its shiny, glossy finish.

Mixed feedback

  • Colour results vary, with some customers saying the shade looks much darker than advertised.
  • Reports on grey coverage range from effective blending to little or no coverage.
  • Longevity feedback varies, including reports that it starts washing out after about three weeks.
