I have dark blonde/light brown hair that is dyed to a level 5 chocolate brown professionally. It has been 6 weeks since my hair was colored, and the brown is fading and showing some of the fill color underneath (red). I wanted a temporary color to get me through the next two weeks before my hair is dyed professionally again. I purchased this color in Chocolate Kiss after reading reviews and the product description. The consistency of this product is watery. To coat every strand, as you can imagine, was very messy since this is thin and runny like water. It made my hair absolutely soaking once applied, and color was getting all over my skin (it later came off with Vaseline). To seal the color, I blow dried my hair. To be frank, this darkened my hair like expected, but I disliked the process and the aftermath. It was very messy, hard to apply, required heat to seal it (which I don’t like to use), and left a rough texture/filmy texture on my hair That came off on my fingers the next day as a powdery substance. The positive is that it covered a lot of the red shining through. My next step will be to try a color depositing conditioner, which I think will be a much easier experience for me.

Where has this been all my gray hair having life! I'm 43 and probably 35% gray and my hair is a level 3 dark brown. I've been using various boxed dye to cover the grays and they work fine, but my hair grows pretty fast and I live in an area with super hard water. As you can imagine, the grays show up again pretty quick and I use various root concealing sprays and powders to cover between coloring. The sprays are sticky and rub off if you touch the hair and the powders only cover very small areas. I found out about this online and just used it today and I'm already in love! This stuff is old school but it's amazing and I wish I'd known about it sooner! If you have grays to cover and you hate the coloring process, do yourself a favor and buy this stuff.

The original Roux Fanci-Full Color Styling Mousse was FANTASTIC! Roux has recently reformulated the mousse and dropped several wonderful colors. The original formula was the BEST overall mousse I have ever used to give my hair body and oomph. A couple colors they dropped were Hidden Honey and Spun Sand. I used these to tone the brassiness from permanent hair color. Roux, please bring back original formula which I have used for 30+ years.
