Rated 4 out of 5 by Chrissy M. from Good for greys [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the shade 4RV which is described as a rich plum dark burgandy . I have dark brown hair so the results was beautiful subtle burgandy over my brown. I found it blended away my greys quite well too. The scent was extremely pleasant and my hair feels less damaged that I usually feel after other box dyes. The colour is also holding well. I am really impressed with this hair colour and I will absolutely buy again. If the usual box dye gives you headaches from the very pungent smell id certainly recommended this product as the scent is truly refreshing and not at all offensive ,strong or chemically.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Margaret W. from Vibrant colour [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the medium Auburn colour, it is bright and vibrant and looks amazing.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Melissa M. from Love it ❣️ [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always dye my own hair but have never tried this product. I’m so glad that I did. I found it so easy to use & loved that I didn’t have to smell the horrible ammonia smell as this product is ammonia free. It applied very easily & the smell was not bad. After my hair was dry the colour was just beautiful & I had no grey show anywhere. The shine is terrific. I would highly recommend this to anyone that wants a more natural product that completely covers grey with an amazing end result. Love it !!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Karly R. from Clairol Natural Instincts - BEST at home hair dye [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Clariol Natural Instincts was a life saver for me during the pandemic when I have not been able to get to a hairdresser. I have Jet Black hair and it covered all of my Greys! It has super simple instructions, so it made the process incredibly simple. Compared to other at home packet hair dyes i didn't feel like this was damaging whatsoever. It has made my hair feel so healthy and lush. I would recommend this product for anyone who is considering dying their hair at home.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Juancho C. from Great colour [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve always been hesitant about colouring my hair for various reasons, but the main one would have to be that if it didn’t suit me, it would be hard to reverse it. I finally gave it a shot, and I’m so happy I did. Being Asian, my natural hair is black, so going a shade lighter to this dark brown was a good start. The colour wasn’t too different to my natural colour, but different enough so that you can notice a change and boy did people notice. I’ve received numerous compliments about my new hair colour which is comforting as I wasn’t sure about colouring my hair in the first place! My hair also feels soft and has the same bounce it had before, which means that my hair wasn’t damaged by the colour either.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anjili M. from naturally shiny coloured hair [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If your looking for hair colour that is healthy looking and shiny and is ready and to achieve in 20 minutes, you can’t go past Clairol natural instincts. It has no ammonia, and is made up of 80% natural ingredients, including Aloe Vera and coconut oil. The product is easy to use and only takes 20 minutes to develop and has a no-drip formula. There were no harsh smells which is always a big plus. The package also comes with a lovely scented coconut conditioner. There are a range of beautiful colours to choose from, I chose medium brown. It lasts 28 washes, and is very gentle for your hair and scalp. It easily blends away greys. Recommend this hair dye for anyone that is looking for a natural healthy, shiny hair that is gentle in your scalp.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Elena D. from Quickest and easiest hair dye ever! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent hair dye has covered all my whites! From the moment I opened the packet I knew this was going to be a simple no fuss hair dye - exactly what I like. Even the instructions were short simple and to the point. The cream formula was sooo easy to spread - excellent for my thick frizzy curly hair which is usually hard to do with thinner dyes. From unboxing the product to washing and drying my hair, took me only 1 hour! Has left my hair feeling super soft and the colour pay off is great. Even when applying the dye it did not have that strong hair dye smell to it which would be great for some people sensitive to fumes like asthmatics. There was absolutely no itchiness or irritation at all either! So their "anti allergy" claim seems legitimate to me. The only reason why I have knocked off a star is that the colour is way darker than expected. I ordered Brown Black (3) as that it my natural hair colour and it has ended up Black only (no brown at all) which leaves it a bit flat looking. As it's demi-permanent it should a fade a bit later anyway so I'm not too fussed. But overall seems like a simple but effective at home hair dye. I would consider using it again in the future but would have to purchase a lighter colour!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Marty M. from no chemical smells, gentle on scalp and hair [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] as a regular home hair dye user I really liked this product. There was no strong smell, this is the first hair colour that I've used that doesn't have a really overwhelming chemical smell. The colour result was accurate. I have about 30% grey and it covered most of the grey, although not as well as some of the other dyes I've used at home (but this product also doesn't make your eyes water and your scalp feel like its burning). I'm happy with the grey coverage result and would be comfortable using it more often if needed, given it wasn't harsh. I left it on for an extra 5 minutes and had no tingling on my scalp at all which i often find with other products. It's straight forward to apply with everything you need included. I have thick, coarse hair and had to use the whole bottle ;my hair is short so not sure how far 1 bottle would go if you have long hair. I found my hair was really soft after washing and drying. There was no lingering smell in my hair. I'll be using this product again.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Caitlin M. from Finally a Natural Hair Dye that works !! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to try a more natural hair dye for a while now and was very happy to see Clairol’s new Natural Instincts with no Ammonia. I went with 4W dark warm brown to just enhance my natural standard brown and it’s turned it into a deep rich lush brown that I’m so happy with. I have been trialing hair dyes for a long time and I’m very impressed with this colour and the after care conditioner is very generous size that I’ll get a least a few more washes from. Overall very happy, I am intrigued to see how it goes over the next month with colour fade.

Rated 4 out of 5 by A K. from Good in between hairdressing appointments colour [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought that this was a good colour for the roots, for an in between hairdressing appointments, tie you over. I liked the easy to follow instructions found in the box and that one box provided a generous amount of product, compared to other home packet dyes I have used in the past. It spread easily and distributed well throughout the hair. When using the colour, I didn’t find that it irritated or stung my scalp, which may be due to its NO ammonia or paraben content. I also liked that my hair didn’t feel damaged or drier after colouring, like some products have done that I have used previously. I took a point off for the colour and for the conditioner that came in the box. I got the colour 9 in Light Blonde. But I found the colour turned out a bit brassy in my case, but it wasn’t too bad, considering it wasn’t a permanent colour, I would love it if Clairol would have a cool level 9 shade as well, like it has for the level 8 and 6. I started with a level 7 natural colour on my roots, so maybe if you only moved one colour up or down from your natural hair colour you would get a better result. I was also slightly disappointed with the conditioner as I was expecting an amazing fragrance from the conditioner as Natural Instinct really have such gorgeous scents in their products. I also found that my hair was a little frizzy after using this conditioner, although I usually use a much heavier conditioner, so maybe this was the problem. Overall I think that this is a very satisfactory way to skip salon visits and save money as it provides a very good blend from roots to existing colour. I would definitely recommend this product to someone that wants a coppery or warm blond.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Katie L. from Gentle and natural [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hair dye is definitely a lot more gentler than the other home packets I've used with no strong smell and natural ingredients. It was very easy to use by myself. I used a shower cap during the 20min wait time, otherwise the pack provided everything else I needed to make it as mess free as possible. I naturally have dark hair and using the dark blonde colour resulted in a tinge of dark brown which I expected. I'd recommend this product for people who intends to colour their greys, rather than those who want to transform their hair colour completely.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Victoria S. from Totally worth a go! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beautiful at home product! Easy to to use. Chemical smell was not as strong compared to other at home hair colours have used in the past. Colour pay off was about 2 or 3 shades darker than I wanted but that would be more due to colour build up than the packet die itself! Over all I am really happy with the product and would use again. The price you pay and the delivery you receive is great !

Rated 4 out of 5 by Kayte B. from Easy no fuss hair colour [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a semi-permanent ammonia free hair colour that works well as a refresher on my medium length dark brown hair. The formula is quite thick meaning it doesn’t drip everywhere and I found the scent to be quite pleasant and not overpowering. Overall my hair looked shiny and refreshed using this product. I do have some greys and they were covered by the initial application although I I can’t say how long it will last before it washes as it’s only been a couple of days since I applied it

Rated 4 out of 5 by Jacqui t. from A colour option that is a joy to use [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Firstly,i want to thank Beauty Crew and Clairol for allowing me to trial this product. I received the Clairol "Natural Instincts" hair colour in No.9 "light blonde",which was not exactly the best match for me (i am a very light,leaning more "ash" blonde,and this was a bit darker than i would use normally...but the best match for me from the range),and loved the concept of a more natural alternative to my usual choice. The product was extremely easy to use (mix the colour and developer together / shake and apply to roots first / wait approx.10 minutes,then apply to lengths for another 20 (or for as long as it takes to get the colour you are after),and then rinse and apply the aftercare conditioner included,to leave you with stunning colour that cares for your hair (no nasty ammonia, PPD....paraphenylenediamine,which is an inclusion used to provides long-lasting hair color that has a natural look,usually any darker shades will have this, and added parabens) and reduces the chance of irritation and allergies.But what is IN this that makes it a joy to use ? coconut oil and Aloe vera (Aloe soothes,coconut to nourish),the fact it is a semi permanent option (if you aren't into the colour,or choose to change your look regularly,that means less time to wait for it to fade out),and the fact that there is not so much of the overpowering smell (that most colours have),to contend with (rather,this had a "chemical" scent,but none of that insanely uncomfortable ammonia fume),plus it was quite "non drip",so less messy for the bathroom sink (and your face).But what of the actual colour ??? Well,as i mentioned,this was not quite the match for me,but i loved the gentler feel this product had on my scalp,i adored the more hair and skin friendly,natural ingredient ingredients and i was thankful for the fact that this product was a fantastic option for hair colour between the "wash in / wash out" temporary colours and the "OK,we're committed now...until you cut or grow it out" permanent variety....but i wished it covered my more significant amount of "reeeeally ash blonde" a little better (i have a fair few now,and whilst being a very fair shade of blonde does afford me more leeway with hiding those pesky things,i still becomes apparent when i wear my hair up...which i do for work daily).These things aside,i would recommend this product to anyone wanting to go a more natural route for their hair coloring needs (it is still very much alive and well even now in my hair...a couple of weeks later,so it has the lasting power),and wants to avoid having to leave home to go to a salon to get a "colour fix" (a MUST these days for most of us,a legal requirement for some..not to mention the cost of a salon fix).

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anna D. from Lovely natural hair colouring kit [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A great natural semi-permanent hair dye kit that leaves my hair really soft and silky.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Pari L. from Natural hair dye [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Clairol natural instincts hair colour is great for using at home and I love that the product is natural as well. It contains 80% natural ingredients which also includes coconut oil and aloe vera. It also doesn't contain any ammonia or parabens which is suitable for those who are after a more natural product for their hair. The hair dye is easy to use and is suitable for those who have a bit of grey hair and want to cover it up. I applied it over my hair. Once I washed my hair and came out of the shower I could see that the colour matched my hair pretty well and helped to cover up the small bits of grey hair that I had. It is a semi permanent colour so it's not the strongest for grey coverage but for my hair it worked well. My hair didn't feel dry or damaged and it still had that nice shine. With all the chemicals that are found in hair dyes I like having a natural option which can be less harsh on the hair and scalp.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Leah P. from I would use again! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So, I was lucky enough to be one of the girls picked to trial this product for BeautyCrew and I'm so glad I went for it! I was sent 4RV Dark Burgundy, because wanted a bit of something fun, and I thought that this would be it. This is really straightforward to use, particularly if you've dyed your own hair before. I started by parting my hair into sections so that I could coat them all evenly in order to reach all the bits of needed to. I also did not use the provided gloves, as I find hese to always be a little messy and just generally harder to use, so I can't provide any information on them. I mixed the two coloring products together without any difficulty and spread this over my hair. I really liked that it wasn't too watery, which meant that I made less of a mess than I could have. I let it sit for 20 minutes, as per the packet, and then washed it out until the water ran clear, then I sat for 2 minutes with the provided conditioner in my hair before I went back under the shower. The result? Evenly coloured hair with a hint of red, fresh and ready for the Summer! I also liked that this didn't dry out the hair badly, which has been my experience with some home dyes. I'd be happy to dye my hair again with Clairol Natural Instincts!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Eve T. from Buy a lighter shade and not great for the greys Overall, I like this product and would probably buy it again, but with two very significant caveats: 1) the colour is much darker than on the box. I followed the instructions to the letter but am several shades darker than I expected (my hair wasn’t very light to start with!). 2) it has really weak grey coverage. Despite most of my hair coming out darker than I wanted, the greys are still quite visible. But it’s pretty cheap and, if it lightens up over the next few washes, I’ll give it another shot with a lighter shade in future.

Rated 3 out of 5 by tatum f. from very dark [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought 5 medium brown and that came out as serious a level 3 or 4, borderline darkest brown.. This is hectic for 28 wash product. Go lighter than you think you’ll need. A light brown is probably medium. Seems like ok quality stuff though, just beyond pigmented.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Julie K. from Mixed results [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received light blonde for testing. Have some white /grey hair and some coarse grey darker hair. Salt and pepper-ish. The smell was pleasant and less chemical than other dyes previously used. Application was easy. Results are mixed with the coarser hair being too stubborn to take well with the light colour. Too soon to tell how it will resist fading over daily washes.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Neha B. from No more constant dying! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was fortunate to receive this by Beauty Crew to review. I have quite stubborn greys and this product seemed to work quite well in covering greys. However, I did not use it on mid lengths - ends. Application was easy to use, smelled pleasant and did the job effectively. I would recommend this for anyone who wants to cover their greys, whilst using a product that cares abit more for your hair.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Elizabeth e. from No conditioner in the box, The colour worked as well a could be expected for semi permanent, did feel like your hair was straw after as a lot of colours do, you need the conditioner after for this hair dye. Lather it on and it works well enough. However check the box you are buying. I bought 2 boxes as I have long hair and when I got home no conditioner. I didn't think a big deal but it is. I gave feedback to Clairol who are part of Coty and expected they would just pop a couple of the small conditioner tubes in the post with a sorry but no. they wanted boxes ( who has after using the colour) receipts, all the details of where and date I purchased and have continued with this and nothing else. Not sure I would trust this product again, or if you do, open the box first and check you have the conditioner. No conditioner you have hair like straw! beware

Rated 2 out of 5 by Katherine S. from Decent product but not true to colour [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My initial thoughts were this was a great home hair dye. The lack of ammonia means no unpleasant smell while applying and the product applied easily and evenly without too much effort. The gloves provided are good quality, no tears or holes while using. As I have coloured my hair previously I did my roots first followed by the length. The product was easy to wash out afterwards and did not stain my skin at all. However in terms of results I'm disappointed. My hair is fairly dry afterwards despite using the conditioner included. The coverage on the small amount of grey hair I have is OK but not great. The rest of my hair turned out significantly darker than expected. I chose the shade Medium Warm Brown which was closest to my usual colour. While I would expect some colour variation between brands the result is more of a Darkest Brown and it's quite flat without any tonal variation.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Jordana T. from Okay but no Garnier Olia. There are many ways to get a new look these days, be it clothes, makeup or in this case, a box of home hair colour. I’ve been using Garnier Olia hair dye in either very intense red or intense dark red for years now and it really suits my personality and skin tone to be a vibrant red head, just can’t go back now. So it’s been a while since I tried any other brand but I was very excited to trial this Clairol one, which seems similar to garnier as it’s also a more natural alternative to the usual hair dye on the market. Obviously I chose the shade of dark red. As I’ve been dying my hair for years now, it was very easy to use and apply. I popped on a face mask and read a few chapters of my book while waiting for it to develop then hopped in the shower, rinsed until the water ran completely clear, applied the colour care conditioner, rinsed again and I was done. After my hair air dried completely I was left with freshly dyed red locks. The colour was nothing compared to the Garnier one and didn’t last as long, and it didn’t have that floral scent I adore and am used to from Garnier. It was easy to apply, it had a sort of okay coconut scent and the colour was good but not brilliant and it’s affordable. But it just doesn’t rank anywhere close to my beloved Garnier Olia, which is what I’ll be returning to when I next dye my hair. It was really good to try something new though so thank you Beautycrew angels and I can’t wait for my next product to trial and review.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Amanda V. from Made my hair dull and lifeless [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really wanted to like this product. No ammonia or parabens and 80% natural ingredients sounded so positive. However, it dried my hair out and it looked dull and lifeless. I have naturally shiny black hair and adding semi-permanent hair dye makes it even glossier. Clairol natural instincts removed the shine and made it look flat. Application was super quick and easy, it lasted way more than 28 washes and it covered all my greys, but shine is super important, so I won’t use the product again.

Rated 1 out of 5 by LL 1327 from Misleading The box says the colour lasts 28 washes however it contains hydrogen peroxide. The warm brown will fade after 28 washes but the bleaching it does to your hair is permanent.
