Written on: 12/05/2013
I have blonde hair which is natural with a few highlights i got done a few months ago. I wanted to go brown and tried the 8 washes dye. Firstly i tried a medium brown and it made no difference to my hair at all. Then i re tried it with the dark brown and it was almost black. However the main proberly was... It turned my hair blue! I had long blue stripes in my hair!!!! It looked awful. However it did eventually wash out ( longer than 8 washes later). About 6 months later i thought i'd give... (read more)

“Yuch, just yuch..... I have brown hair”
Written on: 27/03/2013
I think they changed the product in the last six months. I can tell by the growth of my hair that it does not dye the grey anymore, plus it dries it out so bad, like straw, that I almost shaved it off. I bought the same medium ash color for many years, and nothing in my health changed. I just bought a different product at a slightly higher price and my beautiful hair is back! I will never buy this again. (read more)

I have been using Nice n easy for around 20 years and have always been happy with it.Like it says,it's nice n easy to use.The color is very natural looking and not solid at all.This is the first time I have used the foam product and I found it a lot better than the other one.It doesn't run at all and is easy to apply with no splashes whatsoever.It does get a little slippery towards the end of the application due to the amount of product you have on your gloved hands at this stage.At on...

Why have Clairol Nice' n Easy taken 765 Medium Brown 6-8 washes off the market?

What I do like: It was pretty easy to do, took about as long as it takes to wash and shampoo your hair, and didn't stain my bathroom sink or counter, even when it was left on for more than a few minutes. It doesn't have the greatest scent ever, but it definitely doesn't smell bad. I was also happy to find that the stains that it left on my skin rubbed off easily with just water. It rinsed clear fairly quickly, and there isn't that much color washing out each time i shampoo, even though I did... (read more)

I have used shop bought home hair colouring things before and they haven't seemed to work on my hair so far but I always went for the cheap ones not wanting to spend lots of money on smething that might not work but after being recommended nice and easy by a friend I was hopeful that it would work.

I have highlighted brown hair and chose this shade to cover greying roots and to tone down the highlights. I so wish I'd left well alone! My roots are the brown colour I expected, but the hair shaft is almost black. So its bad hair days until it fades and I suppose the roots will fade too so all in all a complete weste of money. As my sis said the other day "I just wish I had my old hair back" As one starts greying expensive colour work seems to be the only option other than letting nature... (read more)

I've never ever dyed my hair, I have virgin hair. So, I decided to try this product because not only is it non-permanent, but it says it is perfect for first timers. I have very long hair and I bought two bottles, but one was enough. After using this product I rinsed it and while I was in the shower my hair felt like gum, I'm not sure if it's because I used a lot of dye or what, but I was not too happy. I just hope nothing bad happens to my hair and I hope it washes out with no problems. I... (read more)

Written on: 19/05/2012
After reading a number of mixed reviews, I decided to test the product myself. My hair was in an average condition although, after bleaching it blonde a year ago, there were several different shades of colour throughout. My natural hair colour was brown and I'd decided on the auburn colour. To begin with, the skin test is a little annoying. I understand why it needs to be done, but how can anyone expect you to go 48 hours without having a bath (or it would come off!) Anyhow, after proceeding... (read more)

On the plus side, the colour turned out nice and soft. HOWEVER, during colouring the smell was so strong it actually stung my eyes, not to mention how difficult it was to clean off skin! But worst of all, as I was rinsing it out I was horrified to see how much hair I was losing!! Would not use again, and I'm hoping I wont continue to lose more hair.. (read more)

Written on: 13/05/2012 by mofa
I have been using Clairol hair dye for over 20 years. I always used 99 or 100 Nice n Easy. I'm going to have to switch to another brand. For the last year when I use Nice n Easy, I haven't been getting the beautiful color I used to get. It now turns out a dirty ugly rust color! Even if I try a lighter shade, the color still turns out ugly. I'm ashamed to go outside. Also the dye is thinner than it used to be. It drips all over my sink and floor. I called Clairol and asked if they had... (read more)

I have used Nice n' easy shade number 98 for the best part of 20 years now, and it's always dyed my hair to a lovely natural blonde with lighter highlights that looked like my natural tones. In the past 4 months, the dye has failed to work and left me with Ginger roots and over processed dry hair. I'd like to know what they have done to this product, as i have used this dye on a monthly basis for so long, and since it's been changed to the new formula, it's ruined my hair. they've lost a...

Do not use this new blend on your hair!!! I have just (16/12/11)had a disaster. There is dye everywhere it was like water. It has ruined my floor and table. It was everywhere, a watery blend and I mean watery. I could not get it out of my hair had to ring a friend to scrub as I panicked. It felt like straw all clumped together. I turned and looked in the mirror and was horrified it was straw like. Not joking a bird nest, dull twig looking. My friend had to keep pouring shampoo on, scrub and... (read more)
“messy small splatters everywhere.”
Written on: 30/11/2011 by trinaleigh (1 review written)
So, the adds say "no more mess". Yeah right. I had to repaint the bathroom due to the tiny little dots of hair color that came out when i squeezed the bottle. It was everywhere. Not to mention that the color was way off, instead of a reddish brown, it was simply red. Stains the skin and hard to remove. I will never buy this product again. This product should be taken off the market ASAP. (read more)

“Really, genuinely terrible”
Written on: 16/09/2011
Truly awful. I've just used "Natural light cool summer blonde" on my light brown hair, aiming for the dark blonde misleadingly shown on the back of the packet. I followed the instructions EXACTLY. My hair has gone yellow, with ginger undertones- not especially "natural looking" or "neutral". I wasn’t expecting the exact colour advertised- just something along the same lines. The only colour it vaguely resembles on the packet is the orange strip underneath the logo. And not as vaguely as I... (read more)

Wish I would have read the reviews before buying this product. I bought the colour BROWN my hair went jet BLACK. No wonder it was half price in my local supermarket.

I have used Natural light cool summer blonde (SB2) for over a year now. Great results! left my hair in lovely condition. At first I was hesitant to use a box dye as I normally go to my hairdressers and pay £50-60 a time to have a full head done. But after using this colour I will never look back. My natural hair is dark/golden blonde and it always turns out a lovely, light blonde colour. I have never really had any problems with it going a orange/yellow colour and even if you encounter that... (read more)
“Worst Product EVER”
Written on: 05/08/2011
Do not use this product - it is the most difficult hair dye package to use. From lack of warning regarding liquid format, to the fact that you need three arms to actually pump the product, massage the foam and stop the dripping. I am very angry at the fact that my bathroom is covered in hair dye, as is my shoulder, neck and forehead. Utterly useless and the worst dye product I have used in over a decade - never again. Perfect 10 everytime. (read more)
“Not For Me.”
Written on: 28/07/2011
I had medium brown hair with blonde streaks. I dyed my hair and it is orangy-blonde.. with weird tones. I truly hate the hair colour. Nice N' Easy has sucked for me in the past too. Before I had straight medium brown hair, and I used light brown. It just gave me two big orange patches on either side of my head and left the rest of my hair the same colour. I would suggest getting Perfect 10. Works.. AMAZING. (read more)

I have been using Nice'n Easy for almost 40 years but no more. I won't ever even use Clairol again. This was the worst stuff ever!!!!!!! The smell - there aren't enough words to describe. Even with fans I thought I would pass out. I can attest to the terrible drippy inconsistent foam. It didn't reach my roots but it did seem to do a good job of burning my scalp. I also have arthritic hands. I didn't realize how hard I would have to squeeze the bottle. Since the bottle has to be upright, I... (read more)

Terrible product. Thought I'd give this a try instead of my usual hair colorant. Biggest mistake in 10 years of colouring my hair. Expecting the colour to be light brown as per the packet but got the biggest shock of my life when I saw it was jet black. Can not clean off near the hairline so avoid using this product as it badly stains. So embarrased about the state of my hair not just the colour-my hair feels like straw.Luckily my daughter is going to get a hair colour remover before I'm due... (read more)

Tried this new Nice and Easy foam medium ash brown. After I washed my hair I was shocked, my hair was black, very dark black. I was so sad. I looked horrible. My friends stared at me like Im crazy.

Again very disappointing and I will never try this again! Try on Barby doll first. (read more)

Tried the Nice'neasy foam colour, was not impressed at all, colour was fine but getting the colour off the scalp was very, very hard,it was like globules of dye and it took 4 washes to get my scalp clean. My daughter found the same problem. We used the 5g Medium Golden Brown.

Bought Clairol Nice n easy Foam hair colour because it was on offer, Clairol has a good reputation and I've only died my hair at home once before - then, read the reviews!! So was a bit scared to use it, but decided to go ahead. The first squeeze or two produced a messy liquid, but after a few squeezes, I started getting a reasonable foam. The ease of sqeezing out foam increased as the amount of product in the bottle decreased. After seeing the ads, I guess I was expecting foam more like a... (read more)

Tried Clairol nice'n easy foam for the first (and Last) time. OK on your hair, but get any on your skin and you find out what permanent really means! It left my neck and forehead streaked and stained and no amount of washing will get rid of it.(one day later) Even my arms have dark spots on them!

I used the Clairol Nice n Easy Foam a week ago, and my head is still itching! I usually use the normal Nice n Easy, but the ad said the foam is easier, so I thought I'd give it a try. Boy do I regret that decision!
As I'd never used this one before, I did a skin patch test 48 hours before, and didn't wash my hair for 24 hours before dying as recommended on the packet. I had no reaction to the test, so proceeded to dye my hair. I found it really messy, and agree with the other reviews...

I have used the nice & easy foam twice now. It is the worst hair colour product I have ever used. It really isn't true foam. It is just coloured liquid with bubbles.

Written on: 23/11/2012
I have had similar problems, I started using the dye two years ago I used light natural auburn and always got a beautiful radiant copper tone, the dye had no problems lightening my dark brown hair. Then after a few mishaps with experimentation I went back to my natural brown for just over a year. Tonight I decided I would try to go back to the beautiful auburn colour I used to have and used the same dye I used originally and even though I left it in for much longer than it says to, the colour I got was nowhere near what it used to be, it barely changed my hair at all. I find it impossible to believe they haven't changed the formula.
