Just finished colouring - and wow.
Vibrant, soft, shiny, and without that "fresh haircolour smell" I can barely stand.
Instructions? AMAZINGLY EASY.
And since I had just used a colour stripper, I love that I can use this product on wet hair.
Cleanup was easy too - no skin-staining, which is great when you have short hair.
LOVE the extra-small nozzle - really lets you apply to the root areas with ease.
BUT... I don't have man-hands. I could barely get the gloves on, let alone off when they were covered in product.
And it was really runny, so that extra small nozzle turned out the be a necessity.
Overall really great product, but I'm buying my own gloves for next time.

I have naturally dark (about 40% grey) hair, and wanted to go from a dark purple colour to a vibrant red.
I had been looking at this product as an option, but found it quite expensive, and was going to just colour over my current colour and take the consequenses.
Happened upon a 50% off sale, and picked this up - and I am really glad I did.
It is basically a bleaching product, but it worked really well to strip the colour from my greys, and lighten the old colour enough to take on a lighter shade.
The instructions were easy to follow.
However, the mixture was very liquidy, and if I had not had an applicator brush, it would have been impossible to not put the product on my new hair growth.
If you are NOT going to a lighter colour, or looking to strip colour from grey, honestly don't bother. If you have a good hairdresser, go to him/her instead for a colour change.

I work in the service industry, so I am always cleaning things (usually with harsh chemicals). My hands get incredibly dry, but I an't use anything scented because my customers could be sensitive to scents.
I ran out of my go-to the other day, and a customer had this in her purse. It worked quite well, but I found it a bit greasy, and it didn't absorb fast enough to not wash off the next time I rinsed my hands.
I think it would be great to use at home, just not the ideal thing for a workplace where you wash your hands every 5 minutes.

This is my usual brand, I use it every time I shampoo. Got a great deal on a large size (with pump), and have been hooked ever since.
I am a professional singer and occasional bartender with a spiky hairstyle, so I use a TON of product and have to wash my hair frequently.
I also have coloured hair, which means I need moisture - especially since I wash it more than I should.
This smells fabulous (which could be a minus if you spend a lot of time in a scent-free environment), and I find it gentle enough to not dry out my hair and or scalp.

This is my go to conditioner, used virtually every time I shampoo, unless I'm doing any sort of conditioning treatment.
Lightweight, smells great, doesn't weigh my hair down (which is important because my hair is short and I wear it spiky - which means I need less weight).
Price is generally good - especially compared to salon products.
My only issue with this product is that it is a bit runnier than other conditioners, and once I add it to my wet hair, I lose some of it, meaning I have to use more.

Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Hair Color, London Lilac

I had used this color exclusively for the last year. I absolutely love it. The only reason I have switched is because I wanted to go to a totally new colour for spring.
Low odour, easy to mix/apply, easy to remove from skin if you're sloppy (which I am).
Works really well to both cover grey and be visible on dark hair.
I have a LOT of hair, and have used it when I had a long mohawk and since I have cut my hair short.
It tends to stay bright for a few weeks, then the shine fades (which is standard, really). Of course, the less you wash your hair, the longer you get that shiny new colour look.
The conditioner is great too - and you always seem to have a fair amount of it left.
Tends to be a bit more expensive than other colours, but really worth it - and you can often find coupons for it online or in store.
