Color Eazy Permanent Cream Hair Color - Medium Auburn

I found and purchased this at the Dollar Tree. First, a little about me and my hair. I have a thick, super short, pixie style with a little length on the top and one side, I get it cut at a barber shop for cheap and I love it...they say that I'm one of just 2 ladies that go there for haircuts, haha. Just before my last haircut, I got my highlights done...my hair is super dark and highlights cover the gray longer. Well, here I am, super broke, no money for my over-priced highlights and my bling-blingy, sparkly gray coming in fast. I made fun of this product for months, like the pregnancy tests they have there. Who would use them? Surely they are crap and don't work....well, my brokeness and my need for color got the best of me and I bought a box of medium auburn. I set the box on the bathroom counter and just looked at it for a few days. I mean, come on, I don't have much hair and it'll grow back, but I was still afraid...I'm not sure I'd look good totally bald. Curiousity, blingy gray, and the fact that the Dollar Tree still sold them( or rather, hadn't been sued and pulled them from stock) got the best of me and I opened the box this morning....the box says to leave it on for up to 45 minutes but I washed it out after 30. I am totally thrilled with the results. My dark hair is a dark shade of auburn, which I'm sure would've been more noticable if I hadn't of gotten scared and washed it out a little too soon. The highlights I had turned this amazing shade of red which I absolutely love. I really like the way my hair turned out and will be saving tons of cash and buying my color from the Dollar Tree from now on. Or at least until I can afford highlights again....at least I have a great backup plan! Who knew? Great bargain secret =)

Pros:: the price is right; color is fantastic; no transfer of color (like with the L'Oréal and Garnier brighter colors do); covered grayCons: VERY STRONG AMMONIA SMELL when applying the product; itching/burning/stinging sensation after 12 minutes. I left it on for only 30 minutes because I got scared...I did use a 30 minute deep conditioner after rinsing out the dye (I also did a light shampoo with Trader Joe's Tea Tree Shampoo, first).I am African American with previously dyed auburn hair. My hair is coarse and natural.Overall, I'd use again depending on how long the color lasts. Just did this last night (5/13) so we'll see. It is very disturbing that this product is so cheap so it must be more *damaging* than the regular popular brands. I'm hoping using the deep conditioner helped my hair. Will do another review in 4 weeks!

Compared to national brands that can cost $ 8.00 or more like Nutrisse, Feria and Nice & Easy....this one for a $ 1.00 is a real bargain ! It just shows you the huge mark-up on hair dye and price is not always an indication of quality. I tried it once in an emergency and was totally please with the results. I used the reddish-brown and the coverage was great, color looked natural and it left my hair sift and shiny ! What more could you want from a hair-dye that only costs $ 1.00 per box ?

Trying it right now for the first time...very strong ammonia smell. Had I looked more closely at the label, I wouldn't have bought it.Edit: Too much ammonia. I won't buy it again.

Please do not buy this product. I bought this from the dollar store and it burned chunks of my hairline off. I now have bald spots on my hairline.Buying a higher priced color is worth it. Don't make the same mistake I did, please.

My hair has been colored for years so this product worked very well for me. I would like to point out that they recommend a test area first for allergies or reactions. The color doesn't fade like nice and easy. I will continue to use for root touch ups!

I bought this at Dollar Tree and was very scared to try it but decided to try it. I'm glad I did, I have used Garnier hair color for years but I got to say this is my new hair color product. Not only will I be saving money but it's easy to use and the color is great! I do suggest if you have dry hair to use some type of conditioner after you rinse color out because it does not come with any but other than that I highly recommend you try it!

This product I thought wouldn't be good at all but I tried it and it turned my hair the most perfect red I have ever known. This was my first time dyeing my hair so I was a little scared to try it. but I did and fell in love with it. the only problem with it is that its not that much dye so if you have thick and/or long hair make sure to buy more then one. I have to use 2 boxes for my hair but I have heard reviews elsewhere where they ad to get 4 boxes! still try it and see how you like it.
