Its a good price but I'm very disappointed with this product. I bought it to touch up some of my dark roots so my hair could be fully blonde. By the strong smell i was thinking this product would...

I have had this dye sitting around for some time. I was hesitant about using it because it was so cheap and read mixed reviews. It really worked good. I was pleasantly surprised. I used #43...

I am a first time user of this product. I have used many hair dyes before, but for some odd reason while I was letting this one set, it was making my head itch uncontrolably and kindly burn. Didn't...

This actually used to be a decent product. I used it to cover various family members' grays, because...well...we CHEAP! I remember being pleasantly surprised that it got the job done very well...

You get what you pay for! I should have known better. I have about 30% gray and may natural color is very dark (almost black). I bought this product in Dark Ash Brown just to apply to gray roots...

I used the ultra light natural blonde - brassy, brassy roots! I guess it might be all right for people who have naturally light blonde hair, but my natural color is a dark ash blonde, and it made...

I am a home haircolor veteran and I have not been this unpleasantly surprised in a long time, if ever. I used the Dark Red (Chocolate Fresa) this morning and now my hair is almost black. It was a...

For $3, I'm impressed. I've used this dye in Burgundy several times and have had no real problems with fading or the color coming out different than advertised, which are my gripes with other dyes....

Great for when you don't have too much money to get haircolor. It's a great brand for a quicky haircolor job for the day. But the color does fade some after a while. But not bad for a cheap brand.

I've used Clairol Balsam off and on for maybe 10 years. It is very gentle on my hair and leaves my hair shiny and soft, as it is in its natural state. I'm trying other types of color right now,...

Waste of money & time. I bought this because they were out of my color in Revlon's Colorsilk, and I would not buy this again. It smells terrible, costs twice as much as Colorsilk, and the color...

Use this as well as Revlon's Colorsilk. The smell has improved, but Revlon's Colorsilk is still the best as far as being the least smelliest. Out here the selection really sucks! I get a better...

I have used this brand on and off for twenty years and it does what it says it will. My dark brown hair will go light red with this one if I buy that shade. The black is gothic-solid. The blondes...

I had a good bit of root showing after my hair was dyed a dark reddish brown. I bought Balsam because of the dirt cheap price - 4 dollars - and gave it a try. I'd used Feria in the past and loved...

I was looking for a dark ash brown color, and of the ones at the drugstore, I liked Balsam's aptly-named "Dark Ash Brown." My husband applies my haircolor when I color at home. He has enough...

The auburn shade was the very first color I ever dyed my hair with, back in the mid-80s. The colors I have tried have come out very true to the box, and it's not harsh on my hair. Plus, it's so...
