Roux

Growing up I watched my mother and grandmothers using Fanci-Full. Honestly, I always thought Fanci-Full was for grannies. Which now I can say because I am one! I've been coloring my hair for 30 years and am tired of the process. So I purchased both the moose and liquid #18-Sand Spun to see what the fuss was all about and wow! The moose makes my hair heavier as if you used a little too much moose in styling your hair. The plus side of the moose is your hair stays perfect all day. The liquid is a little messier but makes my hair amazingly soft and shiny. My hair is about 1/3 white and 2/3'rd old blonde hair color and Sand Spun blends it beautifully.

I can honestly only offer my opinion about the product/shade itself since I've yet to locate it at any of the few local stores I've physically visited.
I can honestly say I have been aware of this exact product and shade most of my life. Well, this and "Dippity Doo" hair gel my grandma and mom both used regularly before wrapping their hair in those huge plastic rollers with a big metal clip to hold it in place while sitting under a helmet looking machine. (Hair dryers back then)
But the white minx was used almost daily by my grandma since she had the most gorgeous naturally white hair. She swore by it to keep her hair soft, vibrant & shiny.
I can't wait to find this product. Not only because I know first hand of the miraculous transformation it's capable of on dry, damaged and/or yellowing or brassy looking hair color. But because I will be able to visit the memory of my best friend I lost so long ago. My loving, caring, compassionate yet stern when necessary, beautiful Grandma.

I thought this was fantastic at first. This being the first lash tint I tried on top of the fact that I have blonde lashes. Basically anything was better than nothing. I noticed it was frequently used in salons that offered lash tints as well, so figured it must be the best available. I purchased it myself from Sally Beauty for about $40.00, which includes two levels of brown or black and a tint remover. This includes many uses, so it's far and away cheaper and more convenient than going to a salon every few weeks. Jar packaging is horrible and will spill and stain everything. A jar with plastic cap that would moderate the flow would be much better. Anyway, the color is not vibrant (I've tried the black and brown) and it fades quite quickly (2 weeks). But I thought that was my only option, so I was still happy to have some lash pigment. Then I discovered Intensive Lash & Brow Tint. 100x better. Deep, lasting color, a variety of shades, a proper developer. Intensive is somewhat more expensive, but totally worth it if you have blonde lashes (I suggest getting Deep Brown) I like the Roux tint remover better for getting stains off the skin, that's about it. Will not repurchase.

Former HG, pretty sure they reformulated this. Used to be (circa 2010) the only thing that made my bleached mess of hair into something presentable. They overhauled the (admittedly low rent/old-fashioned) scent and packaging but seem to have also changed the formula into something much milder and not particularly effective. Used to be the perfect thing for keeping very damaged hair at the proper pH, protein and moisture levels while still being appropriate for daily use. I haven't found a replacement. Aphogee and Joico are okay but easier to overdo and they aren't nearly as magical as the old formula Porosity Control.

I got great color in 3 minutes from this! I used it to refresh my severely faded red dye job and it turned it a shockingly bright red. I would definitely buy this again. I posted before and after photos.
