8WR Golden Auburn; amazing, but not the name that I would’ve chosen. I believe the shade is not correct to the name. The name is should be called Red Sand — a very, light shade of ginger. Please do your research on ginger hair, because it will help you when picking the shade which is right for your skin tone. I decided on this shade, due my skin being (white) pale, with natural, rosey cheeks, and this golden auburn works well for me. It doesn’t wash me out and compliments the undertones in my skin colour.

I saw this colour and fell in love with it but unfortunately it made my hair go darker idk if that’s because I just put the Auburn over my brown without stripping or bleaching but overall it’s still a lovely colour and looks nice

This hair dye arrived in good time and was nicely packaged.

I hadn’t used this one before so I was a little unsure about how it would turn out especially as the cost is low.

I found the product easy to use and fairly simple to apply. It has a nice consistency and the smell isn’t too strong. I left it on for the recommended time, focussing on my roots.

I would say that if you have long hair (Like I do) then you do need two boxes.

My hair turned out nicely – it’s subtle, but looks natural and is nice and shiny.
I have also found that the dye itself has stayed looking nice and hasn’t washed out too much over the last few weeks – Bath/shower water will be slightly tinted but nothing more.

I am really happy with this product, I’m glad I bought it and I will likely make this my new go-to hair dye.

I’ve never coloured my hair with a permanent box dye before because I usually go to get my roots done at the hairdressers every month but being in pandemic lock down and having over an inch of fairly dark root, which depressed me every time I looked in the mirror, I plucked up the courage to buy Clairol nice and easy SB2 blonde (after much research about which colour to go for). My hairdresser uses a level 9 on my hair and said she thought box dyes were usually a couple of shades lighter so I hoped this would lift my dark roots enought to blend in. My worst nightmare was being left with orange/ginger roots which would not be a good look. So, after roping in my reluctant hubbie to help do the back I set to and started. It was really easy to mix (just the tube of colour into the other bottle), give a good shake and away you go! Instructions said to start timing when application commences. I did the top and sides first then shouted my husband to do the back. He didn’t like the smell, which was probably due to being confined int the bathroom, so put a respirator mask on which tickled me no end! Actually the smell wasn’t bad at all so he probably had a sensitive nose lol. My hairdresser said to put on roots and then rub through to the ends for the last 10 minutes and the instructions said maximum 35 mins processing time. I kept checking to see if the roots had lifted and after about 15 minutes I could tell they were doing well so made the decision to leave the colour on for an extra 5 minutes to make sure my roots were done. A previous reviewer said she had fairly dark hair and had left it on for an hour so I thought it must be safe enough to do without my hair dropping out! So, after 40 minutes in total I stepped into the shower with my purple shampoo (just in case of orangeness), rinsed, washed with the purple shampoo then conditioned with Clairol’s conditioner. Next I blow dried and straightened my hair as usual. All my roots were covered, no orange tones and the ends were the same colour, which I would say is a little bit lighter than what I normally have but I actually love it! It’s a lovely creamy blonde and is absolutely fab!
So guys, anyone with light to mid brown roots, who is as nervous as I was to use a box dye in case of it turning out brassy or ginger, give it a go, you won’t regret it. I actually wish I’d done it much earlier and will not hesitate to buy it again until my hairdresser is open for business again.
