Golden Blonde

I wanted to write this review because I have not been able to colour my hair for 14 years after having two allergic reactions to hair dye done by a professional hairdresser (mild thankfully).My hair to begin with was a mix of 90 percent grey/white hair mixed with dark brown and before I put the dye on I done a patch test on my arm and behind my ear for 48 hours.I used the two packs of the hair dye and left it on for 4 hours as I was unsure that the colour would take to my roots and I am happy to say that it has and I love it. The chestnut is an orange colour mixed with under tones of browns and some light blonde hairs and it honestly looks like it has been done at the salon. When I was rinsing my hair to wash out the dye I just used water and conditioner and my hair feels so so healthy.

Great product, lovely colour, bit of a faff not being able to style hair for 48 hours after use but has left my hair in good condition (other dyes take the wave out of my hair) and I’m really pleased with the auburn colour. Great to have a hair dye with no nasty chemicals.

After some irregular periods my hippy friends convinced me that chemicals are bad and hormone disrupting. I ditched my perfume, cleaning products and my regular ammonia filled hair dye. I bought this. It's all natural. How can it be bad? First of all, even with the consistency of yogurt the instructions recommended it was clearly resting on the surface of the hair not coating it. I could tell the effect would be patchy once finished. The pure horror was when I removed my gloves to find my hands stained black. The above picture is after numerous hand washes and a shower. They say not to shampoo and I can understand why. My hair felt so dry and matted. Plus the stuff got everywhere. I hadn't really considered how my usual chemically offensive hair dye has been lab developed and tested especially for purpose and it gave me a new found appreciation for the work that goes in to making synthetic products. I have learned the hard way that natural isn't necessarily good (nature makes asbestos and arsenic after all) and synthetic isn't necessarily bad. I am sorry big dye. I was wrong.

My hair colour is a creamy white and I hoped for a subtle blonde shade from the golden blonde I sent for (only used about third of the packet). My first attempt, after leaving it on for about 10 mins was quite acceptable, after the first wash it was a nice subtle shade. After 3 weeks, 2 washes per week, there is still a slight hint of the colour so I intend to use the product on a monthly basis. I have just sent for a pack of strawberry blonde and intend to mix the colours together to maybe give a bit more depth (and less yellow) to the blonde shade!!Time needs to be taken when applying the product. As the instructions say clip hair into sections and work on a section at a time. The cream product dries quite quickly after applying so work it into the section quickly before moving to the next. There was no irritation on the scalp.All in all a good product. I didn't give 5* because the application was quite messy.

After using box dye for most of my adult life, my hair was in very bad condition so I wanted to ditch the chemicals and transition to an all natural hair care routine.I really like this product, my hair feels so healthy, and it has helped me to even out my hair colour during the awkward transition from light blonde box dye to my natural colour, which is dark blonde.It’s important to be realistic about your expectations though. This product isn’t a straightforward swap from a box dye, and you’re not going to get the same results. You have to consistently use this, and build up the colour over time, rather than have instantaneous change.It is messy - I am lucky enough to have a bath with an inbuilt shower, so I sit in the bath to apply the mix, wrap my hair in a plastic shower cap and then shower off myself and the bath afterwards.You do have to invest more time and effort if you want to go down the henna route, but, for me, it’s certainly worth it. I can see why this wouldn’t work for everyone though!

Item was fine but did not realise it came in powder form with the hassle of measuring it and mixing water. The box was a bit ruffled and powdery on the inside, but packet was sealed fine. My mistake so did not use and could not return, and and so gave it away as it seemed ok and A*CRUELTY FREE.

I love this so much. I use it to dye my brows and lashes as they're naturally blonde and leave it on for about 2.5 - 3.25 hours after simply mixing with warm water. I just remove it off my lashes with my fingers and use shampoo for my brows. This is a subjective review but honestly my brows and lashes have never felt or looked better with no more concerning chemicals, just make sure to mix outside and not breathe it in - definitely do it in a well ventilated large space (with the window open!) as it's bad to breathe in henna. Can't believe I'm spilling my one beauty secret 🤭 If it can work perfectly for brows and lashes it can definitely work well for hair too - just remember well ventilated, airy space, and follow the timings given on the box xxx
