I have been trying every dye to color over some red that was left in my hair from a previous dye job, and this stuff worked wonderfully. It is stinky, but hey what do you expect for a $3 hair color? The color was non-drip and rinsed out like a dream. And it wasn't straw-like at all,even before the conditioner. I will use it forever now.

I've used this a few times and each time my hair ends up feeling like straw afterwards for days, even when I use a good conditioner. I know it's cheap but Clairol Balsam Color is much better for around the same price.

Yikes! I wish I had read the review here BEFORE I used this product. Instead of a Medium Ash Blonde, my hair has a greenish-gray tint to it!! I then bought a box of Nutrisse (my regular brand) in a shade lighter than I usually use and it didn't really help too much. Aaarrggghhhh!!!

I've been scrubbing my hair using the harshest shampoos that I have to try to strip some of the color out so I can try coloring my hair once more. If that doesn't work, I'll have to go to a salon. :(

yuck, yuck, yuck. Im a hair coloring fanatic, I've being doing it for years. This stuff dried out my hair SO bad, i had to go buy a deep conditioner, and use it everday for a few days just to get my hair somewhat back to normal. You truely get what you pay for, which is about $2.50 al walmart.

This is definitely the Holy Grail of hair colors for me, and I've tried everything! Super gentle, fabulous color, my hair is now soft as silk and a gorgeous shade of strawberry blonde. Best of all, it was only $2.25 at Wal-Mart!

If I could give this a million stars I would in a heartbeat! This not only saved my conscience, but my scalp and hair and even my wallet!!! Heres the skinny-Had been using Feria #62 Iched Mocha for a year or so. Loved the color and the price wasnt bad, but it really would rip the poop outta my scalp and made my hair really really dry for a day or so. It also didnt cover my grey enough so after about 2.5 weeks I needed a new boost of scalp pain. Then I found out that they (L'Oreal) tested on animals. So, fearing to play with Feria's "wild" colors I booked an appointment with an Aveda salon hoping that they would be able to recreate it...was a little peeved that I went from an easily accessible product that was 10 bucks to a 100 dollar plus hair experience and had to wait 2 weeks for it to happen. And I hate salons. So I walk into WalMart and see the Revlon Colorsilk Light Red Brown (55). I carried it around, asked my clueless DH about a million questions and then figured 3 bucks, What the Hay?...Did a color test and found a perfect match. I mixed and put it on and lo and behold my head didnt feel on fire! My greys were covered completely! I also grooved the conditioner which made my hair really soft and shiny. I now have a animal friendly, scalp friendly, wallet friendly, accessible friendly.....and just plain friendly hair color! Yeah Yeah Yeah!!!!!!!I kiss Mr. Revson. I love that man! UPDATE: I havent strayed from this guy, though I have changed colors a many an old time...New favorite?? Dark Ash Blonde...not because it makes me a blonde (I wish) but because whenever I really screw up and start to look like Ronald McDonalds because of too hearty bleaching, this color can bring me back down to normal. No other dye can do this...its like a miracle product!

It's gentle on your scalp, doesn't smell godawful while it's processing, it left my hair very soft after using the conditioner, it's cheap, and the color is gorgeous, better than the custom LOGICS mix I was paying $100.00 a month for in the salon. I used Medium Auburn and it's a beautiful, natural looking red that I'm very pleased with - 100% gray coverage, too. For under $5.00. There is a god. :-)

This has some decent, natural-looking browns. It's also cheap. With a coupon or sale I can get one for $2-3.

I didn't notice any silky result using this haircolor. The second time I used it to touch up my routes I ended up with a very patchy result, for the first time in the long history of dying my hair! The color just didn't develop right. I would have never switched to Revlon if only my favorite Silk'n'Color by Rilken was available in the US. I guess I'll have to keep looking for a beter replacement.

I love Colorsilk for the fact that it's super cheap, super gentle hair color at an amazing price. What I don't like about it is that there isn't really a wide variety of shades to choose from. They have a decent selections for blonds, but not much outside of the basics for reds and browns. Their Light Plum Brown color however is very unique and fun.

A friend of mine recommended this to me after I asked her how she got her incredibly natural light golden brown color (she's got a lot of gray). I just used Colorsilk Medium Golden Mahogany Brown and I can't believe how natural looking it is. I was trying to even out my copper red hair with my root color (med. brown), and this is amazingly close to my natural hair color (but a little better). It's not too fakey red, not too dull brown. Wow! The conditioner was great, too. If you are looking for a haircolor that actually resembles those that occur in nature (instead of those that resemble crayons), I would definitely try this.

This is good, but I prefer garnier nutrisse.
