“Really impressed”
Written on: 14/03/2013
I have lots of gray, so do roots every 3 weeks in b/w colors. I've tried every kind of drugstore brand and this has worked the best! No ammonia is great too! It doesn't smell harsh like other brands. It colors the gray well. Even my hair dresser commented on how much better my gray coverage was at my last appointment. Also this is cheap!! I hope I don't jinx myself after giving such a great review. But 2 times using and I'm really impressed! (read more)
“SO DAMAGING! ”
Written on: 01/03/2013
My hair has always been really shiny, flexible, and soft! Now after using this hair dye it became dull, brittle, and dry. Not to mention it's not very effective hair dye either. NEVER using this brand ever again! I hope my hair recovers from this. Such a waste! (read more)

So I gave in and fell for the cheap stuff....now 8 weeks later I am still paying for it. My hair before Colorsilk was healthy, soft and wavy/curly. It held curl when I would used my big curling iron and had tons of shine and volume. Now after Colorsilk, when I wash it and rinse it feels gummy and matted. I have to use 2 or 3 handfuls of conditioner just to get it separated and rinsed. I also have to use quite a few sprays of leave on conditioner just to be able to get a brush through it...

“best hair color ever”
Written on: 26/10/2012 by shine52
First of all, I have to rate this product as one of the best out there. I mean I cannot complaint, because the product and the price works well with my budget. I notice the shine and how silky my hair feels afterwards, the color works great until my next hair color. It covers the gray areas better than other known brands. I have used all products, including professional hair color such as redken, and other high end products but this product works good on my hair. I don't understand why... (read more)
“BEST I HAVE EVER USED”
Written on: 02/06/2012
I have been colouring my hair myself since my retirement. Every other colour I have used gives an instant "black" look even though I use light brown. This is the first time that I have coloured my hair and it is immediately looking great - just like the box says, and I could go straight out without having the "just coloured" look. Great product!!!! (read more)
“Amazing feeling, but fading color”
Written on: 27/03/2012
I was blonde for a while, but recently decided I wanted to try a dark brown, so I got this brand for 2 for $6. It was a great price, and the day I colored my hair I absolutely loved it. It turned out a great color and my hair felt AMAZING! I've been using my Garnier color protector shampoo and conditioner, so my hair still feels great, but my color has faded a lot. I've been told my hair looks like a dirty blonde color, which is disappointing because I really liked the dark color. So, for... (read more)

Written on: 12/02/2011
I recently used revlon color silk to attempt to go from a natural medium brown working towards blonde. My naturally hair color was darker than any of the before pictures on the box so as expected I wouldn't get the results shown on the box. That said I was happy with the lighter brown result I got and my hair felt and looked healthier afterwards. For the price I was very pleased. (read more)

Written on: 17/01/2011
I purchased a box of Revlon ColorSilk #31 (dark auburn). I had previously used Revlon Colorsilk Black, so effectively the colour should have come out a dark auburn, according to the box. However, on application and rinsing- my roots turned out bright orange and the rest of the head did not take the colour : so orange roots and black hair the rest of the way down. Did the chemicals perhaps get mixed up? Were they off? Did they use a stripper chemical by mistake?
I did this on a Sunday evening...

Hello,
I am sorry to hear about your hair. I am not a stylist but I have experience with this. I used to color my hair blue black. The problem with coloring your hair black is you have to go through a process to get it lightened. You either have to bleach it or put in highlights(bleaching) or wait until your hair grows out or you can get a wig until it grows out. I would go to a salon and have them do a color correction so you don't damage your hair because basically that is what you will need to do. Good luck!!

I had the same problem. I got the medium ash blonde, thinking it would only darken my hair a slight bit, and it ended up turning it brown :( I'm going to the drugstore tonight to get my old faithful l'oreal couleur experte in brioche (medium blonde) to fix it!

Written on: 11/12/2010
I don't know whether the distraught reviewers did something wrong, or I just got lucky, but I had a completely pleasant experience. Upon reading all the reviews, I was definitely nervous to use it. Still, I went ahead and did it, and it worked just like any other dye -silky hair and all! I used it to dye my hair back to black, and here I am with black silky hair. Plus, no porcelain stains or anything. So amazed at the price I paid for it! (read more)

I couldn't give it but 1 star. I am standing at the market picking up my usual hair dye when the $2.50 for Revlon Colorsilk caught my eye. I got on my phone and read these reviews. So many great consistent reviews and a few about leaving hair like straw. SInce nothing has ever left my hair with a bad texture I picked up a box.
Got home and followed the directions. Same as the usual hair dyes, but shorter time to leave on the dye. So here I am 2 hours later and my naturally...

I would recommend this to people who have sensitive scalp and cant stand the smell of ammonia.Yes it still smells(there is no such thing as smell free hair colour people so get used to it) but its not that strong nor that bad. I used to use other brands with ammonia and found them burning my scalp rather painfully,no such thing using Colorsilk:ammonia free. The colour i used was Light auburn and I loved how it turned out. It didnt stain my towel like some, so thats also a plus. I've heard... (read more)

Written on: 28/10/2010
I found this review very helpful because you described well of the outcome instead of being criticizing the hair dye emotionally. Well i wanted to know whether revlon colorsilk absorbed or just coat our hair. Since the color didn't stain your towel, i take it as the hair dye was absorbed. I have been searching for a hair dye that doesn't stain my towel. The current hair dye that i used left my towel stained for a month now.so thank you! :D

I used red 160 and it stained my towel big time and took forever to run clear. I mean 4 20 minute showers! So, I see the reason for ammonia but hate the smell and this doesn't smell bad at all. So, good with the bad. The color was to dark pink purple but with the multiple washings, it's lighter and I'm happier. Hope they have a lighter red for the next time, I can't use the same process or I'll kill my hair.

When you go over blonde you are not supposed to use ash it will turn your hair green you should use a color with warm red tones or golden tones. Then the next time you color you can use an ash. This is what a stylist told me. Red cancels out green and violet takes away yellow and orange.

Asian hair. I coloured once before, and this is the first time using Revlon colorsilk. terrible :/ completely dried out my hair. difficult to wash and i have to keep using conditioner to soften my hair just to allow me to run my fingers through (even with the water running through, my hair is all in knots). Didn't have this problem when I was using Garnier which was lovely. Ammonia-free? Still smells bad. Garnier is a better choice. Sure it's a little bit cheaper but not worth I guess.... (read more)

I tried Revlon Colorsilk (soft black) for the first time and will NEVER use it again. It completely stained my porcelain bathtub and painted walls. Then when I called Revlon for help all they said was that they had never tested it on anything other than hair and there was nothing they could do. I have used other hair dye brands before and this has never happened--similar colors too. Had they responded differently (i.e. more sympathetic and helpful rather than defensive and annoyed) I...

with all due respect, porcelain is porous-any rich color will stain it.... i have a hard time believing that any other brands of dark color easily came out of it... & how did you manage to get it all over your walls?? revlon has always been a great product (& i have been everywhere from all blonds-my natural haircolor to dark brown). the color has been great, the price is very affordable & a bonus-revlon does not test on animals.

I normally use ONLY hair color from the health food store.... I tried the Revlon because it was Ammonia Free and from the colors on the boxes, they seemed like pretty shades and I chose a red and light auburn and my hair (at the roots are black or close to & it brought the color up) and the color came out beautiful! I love the color. I dont have greys to cover, but having dark hair, it made it the reddish brown that I was going for! This product was waaaaay less expensive than may regular... (read more)

I am a hairstylist of 20 years. I have used all kinds of color and I have to say that the Revlon Color Silk is one of the best for the buck. I use the 04 which is a light blonde. I have naturally blonde hair but it leaves your hair truely silky and soft. I kick it up a notch by putting a plastic cap on and use the heat from my blowdryer to make it lighter.

wish i had seen this comment BEFORE i used it! my once shiny long sofy hair is now very dry, feels like straw, is snapping off and very brittle. I always use nice and easy but seen this on offer so thought "why not"? I used it on my roots first for 10mins, then all over my longer hair for 10 mins. Glad i didnt leave it on any longer! as soon as i rinsed i could feel the difference. Yes i blow dry, yes, i straighten but my once lovely hair is not straw like and will need to a good few inches off :-(
