“Clairol Changed Dye?”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Alisonomore on 17/12/2023

I’ve used Clairol Nice n Easy permanent dyes for brown hair for the last 5 years. The last two times the dye has left my hair feeling oily and thick - that’s before applying the conditioner. I’ve had to wash my hair the next day to remove whatever product is causing this to happen. I won’t be buying this product again.

“Hair dye poorer quality than previously ”

★★☆☆☆

written by Alexandriaa16 on 14/12/2023

I’ve bought nice n easy permanent hair colours for years, since the pandemic the quality of the product seems to have lessened and the dye, no matter how careful I am applying the dye, it gets everywhere. The last few times I have used these hair dyes, I’ve ended up having dye on my face and neck and arms requiring baking soda and washing up liquid to remove it… not ideal. Looks like I need to try a different product.

“Extremely disappointed !!!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by hairfolical on 11/07/2023

Like most of the other reviewers have used this product for 30 years (Nice' n easy medium warm auburn, little blue bottle) and loved everything about it. Always had great comments about condition and colour. Loved it. I have now had to try the new formula as have exhausted all available supplies of the old one. I don't like it at all and neither does my hair. The smell is strong and unpleasant and can still smell it 4/5 days later. I cannot style my hair as I could with the old formula as my hair feels lank and heavy and sadly will be trying to find another brand to use. The only chance this product (Nice'n easy creme formula) has is that it starts to be used by new customers that have never used the original and have nothing to compare too but sadly for the many of us that kept our locks looking and feeling great with the old formula we shall be moving on to other brands. Please, please listen to all the other reviews about this new formula, we can't all be wrong, and consider going back to the original formula (Blue bottle + Ammonia). PLEASE.

“Did what it promised”

★★★★☆

written by Optigrist on 13/06/2023

Good product; used light brown. Like the colour outcome. Formula a little runny; ok. Just need to be very careful re drips. Quite a strong smell, not unpleasant but strong. Good value.

“FORMULA CHANGED”

★☆☆☆☆

written by MOMC on 23/02/2023

I have always used nice and easy and even my hairdresser used to comment on my hair and said it really is very good. I have tried 9a and 9b and they have both darkened my hair to a horrible muddy shade. I will never use it again and will tell everyone that asks not to use these products.

“The new formula is absolutely awful!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Kezze on 07/02/2023

I used Clairol Nice and Easy for about 20 years and loved it. Now they have changed the formula I am looking for something else. I have tried 3 of the new blondes and all leave my hair mousy brown, and very dry and straw like. Shame on you Clairol. Looking at all the other reviews on different sites, you will be losing at least 95% of your loyal customers! Wish I could give it zero stars as it doesn’t deserve any more!

“Always the Right Colour”

★★★★☆

written by KellyJ94 on 01/10/2022

I'm honestly surprised to see so many negative reviews. Then again I might just be lucky. Whenever I use Nice N Easy it always turns out the right colour, and my hair feels nourished. Normally I buy Medium Golden Brown and it gives lovely warm tones to my hair.

“New Formula is Old and much harsher”

★☆☆☆☆

written by genesis888 on 10/11/2021

I've been using Clairol's Nice and Easy Light Golden Brown for a number of years. The "new formula" that was available from 2019 to just recently discontinued with the attractive cut-off panel box packaging in golden letters was awesome. There was no mess, it was much more gentle than the previous version that was around until 2018. It didn't color my skin around the edges of my hair line. And the smell was less. My hair always felt light and soft after use of the conditioner. So when I purchased the "new formula" in "new packaging". I wasn't even warned it was a new formula. I was told it's the same great Clairol Nice and Easy but just in a different box design. Which was incorrect. The color was darker, the chemicals much harsher and more pronounced, smelly, the product is messy. Even with using the conditioner my hair was dried out. Like the difference in formula is HUGE and completely on the negative side. Did you ever test the new formula first? Even the packaging of the "new" formula sucks. For me the newly released square box design packaged Clairol Nice and Easy Light Golden Brown is almost exactly the same as the formula that preceded the previous one, i.e. also a square box packaging and that ended in 2018. That formula also was very harsh, and I remember at the time finding reviews at Amazon that said that as well. Something is VERY off with your "new" formula, which to me is an "old" formula being revisited and even worse than that old formula. I'll now have to look for another brand for sure.

Cazzamat's Response to genesis888's Review

Written on: 01/02/2023

I have been using original formula for around 20 yea4s and loved it. When they brought out new cream formula in 2019, I didn't buy it, due to negative reviews. I went to around all the stores and bought heaps at a time to last me. When I went to buy more in November, no one had any but I was told it was back in new packaging but same formula as original. Have used it twice and both times my roots are darker than usual and colour doesn't last as long plus my hair is very dry. I use 8A and only do my grey roots. Very disappointed. Customer service based in Asia and had problems with advice.

“Disparity of colours.”

★★☆☆☆

written by Rooneyxr1956 on 09/07/2021

I have been using Nice'nEasy for years long before all the numbers were changed. I decided as I was getting older I should change to a lighter blonde. I have been using 9A for a few months and am pleased with the results. I usually buy 2 at a time as they are cheaper. I had 1 left and used it last night. It is nowhere near the colour on the box , Light Ash Blonde, and is almost a brown colour. Is it possible the different shades could have been mixed up? This was most disappointing as I have always been satisfied before.I have given 2 stars as I hope someone from the office will read it and answer my questions.

“New product is rubbish”

★☆☆☆☆

written by LennonRamos on 24/06/2019

The new Nice and Easy colours do not work! I have used this product for 20 years and always happy with the results but now, the colour does not cover the dark roots or cover the grey. What has happened ? I will now be looked fir a new product like the rest of those who've complained.

I agree, used nice n easy colour enhancer 6-8 washes out temporary colour since 80's. my hair looked thicker, shiner and covered my greys, one bottle no mixing chemicals, nothing like it now, and the temporary 24 washes dry out my hair and makes my scalp itch, however Clairol US, do a temporary root cover but not in U.K. Clariol listen up, I WILL not buy your temporary 24 washes its not the same, so bring back the 6-8 washes or give the ingredients to another organisation who will sell it!!!

“The new formula has damaged my hair!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by ValTaylor on 14/03/2019

I have been using Clairol Nice N Easy 9B - Light Blonde for years. However, since the new formula change, it stings my scalp. But the most worrying thing is that it has damaged my hair. Prior to the change my hair was thick and strong and now it is thin and breaking. I continued to use the product and kept asking my hairdresser what the matter was and then it dawned on us that it was the hair colour. I will definitely not use the product again, but more importantly - how do I get my hair back to being healthy?

Written on: 09/07/2019

Fully agree with this review and Forests' comments. Been using the golden red colour for years and years and it's been amazing but my hair has turned into a blonde, porous, dried up mess and no amount of conditioning treatments work. Totally gutted...what did they do to the original formula and who tested & approved this one?

“Ok colours”

★★★☆☆

written by mommybearjulie13 on 09/01/2019

Brown/black colours are ok, though they sometimes come out a little darker or lighter than expected. Blonde colours are rubbish! They never come out the shade you want them to. They either don't work, turn your hair ash or turn you hair ginger! They're tricky.

“Disappointed with the new formula”

★★☆☆☆

written by Shelly1954 on 06/09/2018

I have used this product for years, lightest ash blonde. However since the change in formula it fades very rapidly and does not cover grey as before. Will be trying new brands.

“what a horrible product”

★☆☆☆☆

written by HairToday123 on 23/02/2018

I used 88 Natural Blonde. The smell is dreadful. It did not cover my grey hair well. Worst of all ... my hair felt sticky after rinsing and conditioning, like I had poured glue on to my hair. After two more shampoos my hair felt like straw and still sticky. What a HORRIBLE product. I hate the way the containers are not sealed and can easily be tampered with. I am sure the blue colourant had been tampered with to make my hair feel so bad. Perhaps some clown in the factory thought it would be funny to pour some glue in with the colourant. I will NEVER use this product again.

“Unsure of results”

★★★☆☆

written by AnnaliseMurray434 on 02/07/2017

Naturally my hair is a dark greyish brown. Very unfortunate as I am only in my 20's. Dyed it a medium brown last year and it turned almost black. Eventually it settled down and turned a medium-dark brown. My hair has grown out this year and returned to its natural colour. I am about to dye it natural black (2). I hope it won't turn too dark.

“Disparity in colour on the box”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 20/06/2017

Wanted a light golden brown colour so bought Light Golden Brown. It's turned out to be the darkest, flat brown colour I've ever had, no tones whatsoever. It looks ridiculous and will take ages to lighten. Would not recommend.

Hi I have be using this product for many years the new formula says put on dry hair but a lot of the time I have spray color on it to get me though before I can color it. so I have to wash and then dry my hair before I color it? is that correct? I hate the new formula. Harsh on the hair doesn't leave it shiny dries it out damages the hair.

A few years ago the smell of nice and easy was changed to the smell of Lillys. I’m so allergic to the smell I had to stop using it. I was wondering if it was ever changed back to a formula that didn’t smell like flowers or anything fruity. Please email me.

I've been using Nice 'n Easy in Dark Reddish Brown for years. I can't find it now. Tried Dark Auburn, didn't cover my grey or color the rest of my hair. Tried Age Defying in Medium Auburn and grey. It turned pinkish red and the rest of my hair was almost brown. Has Clairol changed their formula and/or dropped shades?
