A beautiful silver permanent colour

4 years ago
A beautiful silver permanent colour but you do need fairly light hair to start with to achieve it with this shade. It will also work for toning very light orange/yellow hair but not too a silver shade but more even blonde. I do like these vivid colours but find they can be a bit hit and miss with results. Like many dyes you need to be at least blonde to try these and it really needs to be virgin hair (No dye) or lightened with bleach as tint on tint will just give you a darker result. I found the silver only lasted around 3 weeks (I was twice a week for reference) and then faded to a white ashy blonde. My hair is lightened though so this could be due to porosity.

Ok product

3 years ago
I had high hopes, i used it on my pre bleached blonde hair. In some parts worked well and gave a nice colour but most is blue! Even my roots havent taken to colour at all just slightly toned, to say my hair is a mess and a shambles and for the price im not impressed. I seriously hope that with a few shampoos it will sort out. To say my hair soft and smell ok. It was a very runny and messy product to use.

Best hair dye ever!

3 months ago
I am using this one (9.23) for 5 years already. I am going to use this for the rest of my life I think:) it keeps my hair healthy, gives them healthy but beautiful shine and complex color that attracts attention yet looks natural. People always give me compliments about this hair color. I only wish this hair dye would be easier to buy in Ireland.

Lasts a while

7 months ago
I bought it for a Billie Eilish concert and it came out SO good. I dyed it in July and it’s still here in September, however I wash my hair 1-2 times a week which is prob why it’s still here (it’s pretty faint but you can tell it’s dyed). I would say my hair is dark brown (it does get lighter in the summer, though) so I think it turned out well considering, One thing I will say is it KILLED my hair. It became so dry and I had sooo many split ends after it was unreal and my hair was never like this before. Weird smell when actually dying but after it was dyed I couldn’t smell anything.

Didn't work at all

Tried this week. I have dark brown hair. Magnetic plum did absolutely nothing except make my hair a little shiny, which likely isn't going to last long. I wasn't expecting much, but this is a little ridiculous.

No, I do not recommend this product.

I am surprised how good it turned out

7 months ago
On an impulse last weekend I bought the cherry red and applied two boxes on my hair. After blow drying and looking in the mirror for the first time, I had a severe whooaaa reaction. It’s bright and VIVID. I’m happy with the result. Looking forward to see if it lasts for a few weeks… Cons: low viscosity (a bit difficult to apply and easily makes a mess), difficult to wash it out after application (but I used two boxes), keeps staining your towels when damp against best OCD-level efforts.

Yes, I recommend this product.

DO NOT BUY

8 months ago
This ruined my daughter’s hair. My daughter wanted purple hair (the vivid range) and we pre lightened to a light brown like the pack suggested (blonde is not advised on the packet, her hair colour is the shade of light brown, as advised). The pack shows a vivid purple from light brown hair but that’s not the case! Her hair has turned a dark brown, black with a shimmer of purple in the light! I am absolutley fuming! Will never buy L’Oréal again.

Bright then faded

A lovely colour, really vibrant orange but fades quite quickly though. I have mid length hair and needed two boxes.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Silver grey review.

a year ago
I bought the silver grey dye at the beginning of the year to get rid of the yellow tones in my natural salt and pepper hair. I’ve used two boxes this year, the resulting grey colour was lovely, but I’m now left with blonde hair, the ‘permanent’ grey has gone and left me with bleached blonde hair with an inch of natural grey. Completely NOT what I wanted. I use purple shampoos but they never turn the blonde gray enough.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Amazing long lasting colour, for redhead gone grey

2 years ago
Absolutely love this colour, as a natural redhead going grey was just not an option I wanted in my 40s and I've tried alll different reds from other brands, as well as henna, nothing quite stuck or lasted very long, on fact some box dyes ended up completely stripping all colour from my hair and leaving it blonde! I'd previously used Dublin mango copper which is lovely but too light for my complexion so was dubious as to the results, but this is amazing! Lasts for at least 5-6 weeks in a vibrant shade of red that reminds me of my hair colour as a kid! Get loads of compliments on it and people don't believe it's not been done at a salon. I have shoulder length hair so one box does the job, any longer and you would need 2. This is now my go to product. Love love love.

Yes, I recommend this product.

My New Permanent Hair Colour

2 years ago
After trying the Blue Black shade from the same range and being very impressed with the result, but not happy with the shade which didn't suit my skin tone, I was very eager to try another shade. I have naturally soft black hair, which is greying. This hair dye range is definitely permanent. Overall, the difference in colour isn't noticeable, until you catch the sunlight, however where there were grey hairs there are now electric purple strands, which I really like. I have now redyed my hair three times with this shade and plan to keep using this shade for the immediate future. As a side note: my hair is nearly waist-length and I found one box surprisingly more than sufficient to cover all my hair. Also, I recommend a hair dye kit (bowl, brush, etc) to aid application.

Right Product, Wrong Shade (For Me)

2 years ago
My hair is naturally soft black but starting to grey, especially noticeable around the hairline. I had intended to keep my hair natural, but was given the opportunity to try this product for free, and thought "why not?" First time ever dying my hair, I watched many YouTube tutorials in preparation for this experiment, despite the decent instructions. I bought hair dye kit (bowl, brush etc.), which I believe really helped with applying the dye. I found the application easy, if not messy, (my technique has improved since). The result kept my hair glossy and shiny. Overall, my hair just looked blacker, but where there were greys were now replaced by an electric royal blue. I can confirm the colour is permanent and though this shade did not suit my skin tone, I have now changed to Magnetic Plum from the same range and plan to keep using this product for the immediate future.

Better off finding a semi permanent equivalent

Absolutely not worth the damage that a permanent dye causes given it lasted about 5 washes. Really nice colour initially that quickly faded into a washed out peach and left hair feeling very dry

Amazing colour

I have been dying my hair black for sometime, have tried black blue in the past with no blue but as a middle aged women wanting a change I decided to give this a go and I was absolutely over the moon, was lovely hair dye to spread. No reaction, hair was not not dry when washed out, I was a little sceptical regarding the amount of blue or the lack of blue but I was very happy, my results were amazing shiny, black blue, hair colour, i will definitely be repurchase, a very happy customer

NOT PURPLE

3 years ago
I thought I'd found the perfect shade for my Med Brown hair. I followed the instructions but left an extra 10 mins as my hair can be resistant to dye. Once it was all dyed and I had dried my hair I was very disappointed to find it had more of a burgundy colour than the purple on the box. I had no previous colour in my hair, so that would not have been a factor in the result. I'm going to have to dye it another colour now.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Silver Grey

3 years ago
I had pink hair and decided to go silver. After having roots bleached and removing pink with colour remover my hair was very pale straw colour. I applied th colour above and the end result was rather gun metal and looked blue, green and purple in various lights. This was before I shampooed it after 3 days, to give my hair time to recover. The final result was perfect.

Brilliant colour and easy to use!

3 years ago
Loved this hair dye! Really easy to use. I followed the steps in the instruction leaflet and mixed the dye. The texture of the dye was very glossy, and it didn’t drip. It also smelled really nice. The hair color penetrates deeply into the hair while nourishing and conditioning each strand. It also covers every grey strand with much ease. It looked bright but natural.

Good coverage of greys

3 years ago
This is a very good black hair dye that is true to shade on the box. It does a much better job of covering greys than other black hair dyes I've used. Other brands tend to dye the greys more of a dark brown colour but this leaves an even colour on the most stubborn greys. Like most black hair dye, it does transfer for quite a while after dying, especially if you sweat during your sleep. Therefore, i would recover using dark coloured pillowcases. Nonetheless, this is an excellent black that i will keep on using.

Yes, I recommend this product.

disappointed, turned my hair even darker

I wanted visibly purple hair. I naturally have dark hair but it was lightened already- box suggested it would be a vibrant purple but it made my hair look black. Super disappointed, I saw mixed reviews and decided to go with this dye but I would not recommend. Only wwould suggest using it if you want dark hair w the tinies hint of purple showing in bright light :(

This comes out so much redder than the pictures. I have dark brown hair and this came This comes out so much redder than the pictures. I have dark brown hair and this came out very dark but very bright red and not very brown - it looked liked I’d coloured my hair in with a red pen. Also the colour takes forever to stop running out of your hair - I have washed it 7 times now and the water and shampoo when I wash my hair is still a reddy pinky colour and its still staining my towels when I dry my hair
