What did you like about this product? *

I color my hair in stripes, radiating out from the scalp so it ends up alternating natural and lighter. My original hair is medium dark brown, and I color to a blondish brown. I've used the same haircolor for 15 years but decided to try this due to a coupon.

I was impressed by the quality of the glove you get (a real black non latex glove, not a clear plastic that you have to peel off the instructions!). The instructions were clear, and had you do an allergy test 48 hours before (other brand says 24).

The colorant was extremely easy to mix and smelled much better than the other brand I used. The applicator is a bottle that you hold upright and squeeze and the foam comes out, no shaking or trying to dump a bottle on your head while looking in the mirror! For ease of application, this was great.

For someone who wants to color their WHOLE head, this product would be fine! The conditioner that comes with it smells great too!

What did you NOT like about this product? *

For my use, where I tried to apply it into a certain area, the foam did not work well. I kept patting it to try and force the foam down to my roots, but did not have much luck. The gel types soak down much easier!

It took forever to get the foam out, squeeze squeeze squeeze and you're not even halfway. I can see this might be an issue for someone with limited hand use (like an elderly person). The bottle was easy to squeeze, it's just that not much comes out. At one point I was tempted to just open the bottle and dump it on my head....

In my situation, I'll be going back to the gel kind so I can control where I color better. For someone who doesn't mind squeezingssssssssss and wants to color ALL their hair, I would recommend this.

Colorwise, it turned out fine, started a bit brassy but mellowed after a day (to be expected when you're using the lightest shade on medium brown hair!).
