Clairol Natural Instincts Demi-Permanent Hair Dye, 6BZ Light Caramel Brown Hair Color, Pack of 1

Okay hear me out!! DIY boxed hair dye to use at home.. yup sounds terrifying. I’ve never dyed my hair myself or anywhere other than at a well known salon with someone I trust with my life to do it for me. Well these days who has $200+ to throw at a salon?! Enter, the Clairol demi-permanent hair dye in cool light brown. This is super close to the same color my hairdresser used on me when I decided to go back to my natural hair color after being blonde for over a decade. Well after paying so much to get it redone a few times as it washed out and grew, I had to consider my DIY options. 👇🏻 I added before and afters for reference of course but wow 🤩 LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! First off, this color is great and really brought my hair back to life with covering up the blonder color that is growing out still (see my before photos for reference- it’s grown out like halfway-ish so far). The cool light brown color has no warm tones in it. I do not do warm/red tones of any kind in my hair and it would not go with my skin tone so it’s important that I found something that is strictly cool color tones. This also covered up my grays that I unfortunately already have on the top smack dab middle of my head so that was a nice bonus! Second, the dye adds a CRAZY amazing glossy look and feel to your hair. I am most definitely using this again in a couple months if not just for the glossy effect ✨ It revived my hair and brought me back from drab to fab! The application is super easy- I mixed it up as instructed and poured the whole bottle all over my head and made sure to cover it all. 20 minutes of sitting and then showering it off and voila!🤌🏻 Not to mention, they include a conditioner with this and it is amazing!! Also adds glossiness to my hair everytime I use it. There is plenty of conditioner to use and maintain for after the dye job which is nice. I only wash my hair once a week so I expect it to tide me over until I dye it again. Again, my photos here speak for themselves but go ahead and DIY that sh*t girl! We saving moneys in 2026 okurrr 💅

I only have some greying around the hairline but I think this would still blend with more greying. I put it on my roots and hairline first for 10 minutes then apply the rest. The box says do 20 minutes, but I leave on for 30 mins because I really want to make sure those greys are getting soaked to the max. Use your judgement depending how porous your hair is. If I were to get stinging, I would wash it off sooner. For me, the color feels really gentle and no stinging or discomfort. It smells nice. I have been using Natural Instincts color for many years, doing the fun colors as a teen sometimes. I don't do the fun colors as often now mainly because with my greying it's such a delicate balance, like redoing the roots and all then i have pink hair with brown and grey roots.. don't always feel up to the increased maintenance. If anything, I think the formula has gotten even better and gentler/more natural over the years. The color I got was 6C which is a neutral light brown. My natural color has lots of gold in it so I offset it by doing neutral or cooler shades of brown, as inevitably my natural gold tones will start to show thru as the color fades. For this brand, the neutral and cool shades truly remove my brassiness and the greys are blended into a light brownish or highlight looking, for about 5-6 weeks. Sadly, my greys don't always 100% absorb the color, sometimes I still have some greys but they are blended into highlighted tones. It takes more intensive work to fully color the greys, more intense than semi-permanent color. During the summer I do a warmer shade like the light caramel brown, I like to rotate out seasonally with slight color changes. It looks even better when out in the sun as the sun naturally lightens it. Over the past 6 months I experimented with color depositing shampoos. They actually cover my grey better, like near 100%, BUT it absolutely destroyed and dried out my hair to the point I suffered significant hair loss. Natural Instincts never has been harsh like that for my thinner porous hair, from now on I am sticking to this and similar gentle brands.

Pleasantly surprised! I have been dying my hair my entire life, mostly bleaching it very light blonde. This not only was damaging my hair a lot, but takes time to properly tone, conditioning treatments, etc. After I had my daughter i didnt have time to keep doing all that and had the salon try to darken it, and they did, but it was a hard transition from blonde to a more “mousey” brown. On top of that, it faded severely die to my hair being bleached previously, the ends lightened up alot and looked bad. I read that this type of hair dye was less harsh on your hair and picked a color close to my natural color and chose BBZ, or light carmel brown. First off, it didnt smell offensive and like chemicals, which I was shocked by. It actually smells nice. That alone made it a positive experience. The conditioner is pretty decent, and the color came out beautifully. Its thin, and drips easy, but if you take your time i find that it is very easy to apply and make sure you do not miss any spots. Color is vibrant and not brassy. Hair feels soft. I will use this product again.

Medium warm brown . This is about 4 weeks out . Love the color . I touch up roots for 25 min then leave on ends for 5 min every 4 weeks .

First time trying this product after researching plant based and least damaging hair dye. The dark brown variant covered my greying roots blending nicely with my previous colour. Followed the instructions carefully and timely especially my hair has become brittle due to previous dyeing and chemical treatments. No itch or allergic reaction. The treatment included which I applied only to the coloured roots left my hair soft. The tube last me quite a few washes. Highly recommended. Im about to repurchase to replenish my supply. Thanks 😊

Very easy to use, mild formula and great colour. Has lasted well past 30 days.

I used Clairol Natural Instincts and the color turned out soft and natural, just what I hoped for. It was easy to apply at home and didn’t leave my hair too dry. I’m really happy with the result!

Todo ok

Good product
