"i am aware this was the last in stock at the time of purchase and am wondering if it was already broken before they even dispatched it!"

"another tip to longevity of colour is to wash your hair in baby shampoo in tepid water no more than 30c"

"i use it to keep the vibrancy of the colour between dying again with permanent colour"

"only reason i have given this a 2 star sorry"

"dosent damage the hair"

"it still needs touching up but that's totally on me my bad dying skills not the quality of the colour"

"the only issue i have with it something i think i have already seen mentioned in another review which is that if you scratch your head you nails and hands will be covered in blue no matter how much of the dye you have washed out"

"this product is absolutely awful and i would avoid"

"very hard to remove those stains from ceramic"

"not at all messy and no nasty smell"

"this is only a minor inconvenience though"

"washed off and litreally washed off"

"the only downside is the size shape of the pots as they’re too narrow for a dying brush so you have to decant it into a bowl"

"can also become expensive for anyone with long hair as i had to dye it nearly weekly to retain a strong silver and i need one tub for my hair mid back length "

"due to it being semi permanent it does wash out quickly especially if you use product and heat on your hair and dye does have a tendancy to rub off on pillows"

"i would have left zero stars if i could!"

"only use on colour treated hair it doesn't take on virgin hair at all!"

"the only issue i have with it something i think i have already seen mentioned in another review which is that if you scratch your head you nails and hands will be covered in blue no matter how much of the dye you have washed out"

"when they came i was so excited until i opened them and saw a complete mess hair dye everywhere in the box on the amazon box i'm pretty sure i ordered 4 not 2 and a half tubs one of the tubs was covered in dye and there wasn't a peel of tab of the dye and i'm not happy and i'm returning this"

"where the colour has actually come out is very patchy and looks awful"

"probably i should wear gloves and don’t do it in the bath though hahah i highly recommend those colours as they are good to have a intensive colour change but they will wash off to be lighter and then you can do another colour it will not wash out completely though so please be aware"

"if your hair is pure white from bleaching it it will be more blue then silver"

"i hadn't used this product for 20 years it still works great i massage the dye into my hair until it is a creamy consistency and leave in for 3 plus hours because my hair is thick and quite course i bleached my hair first i have very long hair i needed 3 tubs it doesn't cover up grey hair still a good"

"i bought neon blue packet says neon blue tubes say neon blue"

"it loses intensity after 4 5 washes but the effect is quite nice as it ends up being a light green ish shade"

"so now my money has been wasted on a defected item"

"my hair was red on top of bleached hair previously but a slightly washed out more orange tone of red this is more pinker deep red"

"i have also tried the purples which look fab but wasn't for me it didn't go down too well when removing so i now know to stay away from cold colours but maybe that's because i am naturally ginger?"

"and dark tulip over xxl live purple"

"blonde with copper dark strawberry and light and some greys coming through"

"bought this product was ment be rose red but it was dark purple there no way of changing it or returning it so waste of £20 brilliant !"

"faat delivery but the colour came oit nothing like its suppose to its stained everything and my hair is green not blue!"

"it was very patchy"

"would not recommend as the dye didn't even stick to my hair and just wasted our time and money"

"don't waste your money"

"it does last a while mine lasted over a month and it does stain your hair!"

"disappointed about this after so many good reviews i thought this would give me a nice dark silver colour"

"probably i should wear gloves and don’t do it in the bath though hahah i highly recommend those colours as they are good to have a intensive colour change but they will wash off to be lighter and then you can do another colour it will not wash out completely though so please be aware"

"like with other non ammonia non permanent dyes you have to leave it on a lot longer than it says unless you have very light coloured hair so i’d recommend putting it on for at least a couple of hours"

"washed out quickly"

"another go at it and my hair will have a very heavy hint of silver"

"it looks nothing like the picture they advertise with the product"

"this product has left it feeling dry and the colour fades after one wash"

"i would definitely not recommend"

"of course they stain!"

"just for reference i only washed my hair in lukewarm water and used l’oréal colour protect shampoo which i used before when i had blue hair which i had done in a salon and the shampoo was fine with my other hair colour brand"

"wait a minimum of 2 days before washing after dying dry shampoo is your friend "

"i also got some all over my neck forehead and hands again whoops but with a quick facial exfoliator it was off and no stains!"

"i've washed my hair once since and the color has washed out a little but nothing significant"

"smells pretty good and it’s cheap but the colour bleeds like crazy for up to 3 washes after by which time it already starts to slightly fade "

"fast delivery and i’ve got plenty under the sink for when it starts to fade"

"the dye does not smell is cruelty free"

"midnight blue directions goes on very nicely and lasts for ages the only issue with this colour is that it's so extremely pigmented that it will bleed onto bed sheets and collars of tshirts for weeks i only need to wash my hair once a week so maybe if you do it more often it might be okay"

"it was getting pretty expensive"

"5 weeks this bright too and the pastel colour after isn’t a dirty green either ☺️"

"i read the reviews and was torn but thought i would try it anyway"

"just make sure you are careful during the application process and cover areas you don't want dyed with vaseline as it is quiet hard to remove the dye from your skin"

"i'm guessing my hair is ridiculously porous so soon as i get this purple abomination off my roots i'll mix the toner with conditioner and see what happens!"

"dont waste your money or do as some suggest and go to poundland to get it n try it at their cost"

"smells pretty good and it’s cheap but the colour bleeds like crazy for up to 3 washes after by which time it already starts to slightly fade "

"i mix this with conditioner and use it as a white toner the purple eliminates yellow in my hair cause its opposite its good for that except it does come out with light purple streaks in sometimes but i don't really mind :p"

"cannot fault the product however the fact that 2 out of the 4 pots i ordered arrived broken leaking lovely orange dye all over the box which had been bashed on one side"

"because my original blonde was different shades & unevenly applied through lack of skill so the blue has turned out in different shades"

"i did leave it in for a lot longer 40mins than the directions on the tub suggested as i have a few dry areas in my hair that take longer to absorb the dye and as i am doing my entire head blue it's very obvious if certain areas are different colours"

"item came completely damaged and leaking everywhere!"

"very poor quality and not worth the money"

"looks ridiculous!"

"use this all the time it’s vibrant and doesn’t damage my hair💜"

"i like that this dye doesn't have bleach in it so it doesn't destroy my curly hair or change the texture in any way"

"the latter is more effective and it took two weeks of washing it everyday shampooing it twice each time for it to fade even then it was still a nice light pink colour"

"easy to apply however went streaky 1st time so had to try again and worked better 2nd time round!"

"unfortunately as many blue hair dye users know this colour won't come out easy and i will most likely have to dye my hair green in order to even out the colour dye it black or bleach it again multiple times in order to use another brand to fix this problem"

"so the first photo was my hair before second when my hair was bleached all over third is directions rubine over all my hair and it covered so even and i'm happy with the results!"

"i usually also condition my hair after dying because it can still feel brittle due to the bleach"

"i've been dying my hair for years i've gone loads of colours but this denim blue is by far my favourite"

"i'm guessing my hair is ridiculously porous so soon as i get this purple abomination off my roots i'll mix the toner with conditioner and see what happens!"

"my expectations were already low as my hair was strawberry blonde so didn’t expect the full pastel effect to work on me"

"didn’t lighten the hair first as yellow and blue make green but still didn’t come out blue but there was a change in colour"

"when they came i was so excited until i opened them and saw a complete mess hair dye everywhere in the box on the amazon box i'm pretty sure i ordered 4 not 2 and a half tubs one of the tubs was covered in dye and there wasn't a peel of tab of the dye and i'm not happy and i'm returning this"

"i lot of colour washes out when you rinse so don't worry about that"

"i bought the silver not too long ago and when i used it i left it on for 30 40 mins and it litterally did nothing to my hair the colour just slid off was not impressed hair was platinum blonde wouldnt waste my money again"

"midnight blue directions goes on very nicely and lasts for ages the only issue with this colour is that it's so extremely pigmented that it will bleed onto bed sheets and collars of tshirts for weeks i only need to wash my hair once a week so maybe if you do it more often it might be okay"

"i did not have any dislikes"

"you don't get much product and it's not very pigmented colour was gone in 1 wash"

"i did leave it in for a lot longer 40mins than the directions on the tub suggested as i have a few dry areas in my hair that take longer to absorb the dye and as i am doing my entire head blue it's very obvious if certain areas are different colours"

"so i understand my hair is uneven with tones but"

"she was very sad when she saw that her hair was not dyed"

"load of rubbish"

"i followed the instructions and also read up on the la riche website to ensure i was doing it right and still nothing"

"unless you want to stain your hands bright pink for the rest of eternity wear gloves"

"faat delivery but the colour came oit nothing like its suppose to its stained everything and my hair is green not blue!"

"i applied as per the instructions the first time and there was barely any take so the second time i applied to dry hair that had just been washed and it turned out perfectly on the blonde sections of my hair"

"i havnt washed it yet so not sure on longevity just yet"

"it's consistency doesn't lend itself to absorbing effectively with the hair the dye stains skin unlike anything i have seen before i had to resort to a mixture of water bleach and nail varnish remover to get it to a mild staining"

"everytime i washed my hair the water would run pure deep pink which gave me palpitations every time it rained outside"

"i slapped it on carefully with a tinting brush and let it sit"

"truly horrendous"

"no reply to email"

"first thing no gloves no brush just tubs"

"i hadn't used this product for 20 years it still works great i massage the dye into my hair until it is a creamy consistency and leave in for 3 plus hours because my hair is thick and quite course i bleached my hair first i have very long hair i needed 3 tubs it doesn't cover up grey hair still a good"

"didnt last very long as definitely did not look like a bright lilac as pictured"

"didn't take aswell as i'd hoped alot of it came out on rinsing after having the product on so it's patchy but i'll reapply and see how it goes"

"would not buy again"

"had faded blue hair didn't look any different!"

"not necessarily a bad thing if that's what you're looking for but in my case this unfortunately wasn't what i wanted"

"great and non harmful to hair!"

"i bought the silver not too long ago and when i used it i left it on for 30 40 mins and it litterally did nothing to my hair the colour just slid off was not impressed hair was platinum blonde wouldnt waste my money again"

"i have to fade mine before going back to work so i washed it everyday use head and shoulders or washing up liquid to help fade it"

"colours are bright and do not fade as quickly as others!"

"cannot fault the product however the fact that 2 out of the 4 pots i ordered arrived broken leaking lovely orange dye all over the box which had been bashed on one side"

"my roots are ash blonde naturally and did not take up the color though i wasn't expecting them too"

"but it was worth it and now back to my blonde hair after putting a red shampoo on!"

"however lots of old towels are needed and it does get everywhere"

"i kept the colour on for about 25 minutes i fully recommend the advice that you need gloves old towels and some bleach to clean up the bathroom afterwards"

"i find it easiest to buy all black bedding don't worry though it all comes out in the wash this is a particular relief when you tell hotel staff when you are checking out"

"i've never had this problem with direction's before i wont be buying this particular shade again :"

"left absolutely no colour on blonde hair"

"it will leave some of your hair blue purple so dont expect miracles"

"the green shade is also very long lasting and if used on lighter hair shades this seems to be what the black will fade to"

"not enough pigment and doesn’t wash out nicely!"

"this is the process i follow: wash hair ideally with a non silicone shampoo and do not apply any conditioner serum or product"

"also to mention i had bleached my hair twice prior to putting the colour on so it should have stuck to it no bother not went all patchy and only colouring parts"

"this does dye your hair and is not just a toner but your hair needs to be very very light first"

"totally different shade than on the picture more blue than anything still nice but not quite what i expected"

"packaging could do with some more protection as both pots were on the same side of the box the amount of dye left in them after their battering was under half a pot so unable to dye my hair as planned"

"no good on a holiday if you swim a lot though"

"what a waste"

"it has some serious issues with water"

"my daughter is very light blonde and it just hasn’t taken"

"sooo sooo bad!"

"i was advised not to bleach first"

"slight strawberry blonde tint in some lights but nothing more"

"we have now spent almost 2 weeks with washing hair morning and evening trying to remove the dye but no luck"

"the green shade is also very long lasting and if used on lighter hair shades this seems to be what the black will fade to"

"i even lightened hair more blonde so a pastel shade would take but its so faint if at all in places"

"i have removed pink before but 4 colour removers later several ash colours unred colour remover vitamin c masks nothing removes this!"

"can also become expensive for anyone with long hair as i had to dye it nearly weekly to retain a strong silver and i need one tub for my hair mid back length "

"i now have orange roots and illumious yellow lengths"

"really happy with the vibrancy and even cover it gave over my patchy bleach job!"

"did absolutely nothing!"

"however the result is clearly not blue but very bright purple im guessing its plum "

"product was out of stock very disappointed"

"bloody awful stuff"

"doesn't work!"

"waste of money"

"horrified when i sprayed it on as it was dark brown"

"would not recommend at all"

"it is very disappointing because the product does what it supposed to"

"the first time i sprayed it i was hesitant and there was some very slight drip from the can nozzle but it washed straight off the sink with water"

"the only problem is that the can is very small ok for the odd root spray but not great during lockdown when there was no chance of going to a hairdresser in quite some time!"

"awful waste of money"

"i wouldn’t be without really helped during lockdown so i don’t look a total mess!"

"three months away from my hairdresser due to the lockdown of the corona virus and this little aerosol was brilliant and helped me in these extreme circumstances !"

"definitely not a solution the product makes the hair horribly sticky and leaves stains everywhere"

"good for in a rush makes my hair feel horrible though heavy"

"nothing but time got my non greasy hair back terrible!"

"however lacks shine and makes the hair feel dirty faster"

"have purchased way more expensive products for years which were way inferior compared to this"

"fab product but expensive leaves hair a bit claggy but a bit better than cheaper ones"

"this is probably the only spray that doesnt leave marks on your pillows!"

"makes my hair looks brassy but really easy to use and covers greys very well"

"the only problem is that the can is very small ok for the odd root spray but not great during lockdown when there was no chance of going to a hairdresser in quite some time!"

"perfect for lockdown locks losing colour"

"very expensive compared to other brands that do the same thing"

"easily covers grey roots don’t read the negative reviews as there’s really no negative to this product"

"hardly the sellers fault though so would definitely use again"

"i bought this as i couldn't get my usual redken product but i feel like i wasted my money"

"the box was empty so i have been cheated or scammed!"

"i guess if you have a lot of greys it would be ideal but it comes out patchy and looks bizarre"

"didn’t make any difference and makes your hair feel greasy and awful"

"my hair is dark blonde"

"straight in the no wouldn't give it away free to my worst enemy"

"i think product regulators should stop manufacturers misleading the public"

"hard to wash out though"

"made hair look dirty and didn’t show up very well"

"three months away from my hairdresser due to the lockdown of the corona virus and this little aerosol was brilliant and helped me in these extreme circumstances !"

"so easy to use but would say use it near a sink as sometimes it does give off little splashes not much"

"the product looks a little powdery on applucation but it does blend in with a little brush"

"it has a sticky texture and makes hair frizzy but it has covered the grey"

"doesn’t conceal anything"

"this product is the one to choose if you have all over roots rather than just the occasional straggler as the nozzle allows you to cover quite a large area in one squirt"

"it made my face and scalp itchy and sore"

"threw it away after just one go"

"delivery as stated"

"over the counter hair dyes in my experience aren’t very good for grey hair"

"problem price and delivery charge"

"really disappointed in this was a strange terracotta orangey colour "

"you have to remember not to touch your hair though or scratch your scalp"

"if you use too much of it it will make your hair feel sticky"

"this does work perfect for root retouch but it leaves like a hard lacquer coating on the hair which makes hair wirey that i don't like"

"the splashes have ruined many tops and there is an art to getting this right"

"packaging fine item poor colour poor texture runny and goes light after spraying so disliked it "

"even my son commented on what i'd put on my head to make it feel soo grose!"

"i probably need a lighter blonde as this didn’t make too much difference"

"ordered it for wife hardly used"

"i bought this so i could blend the front part of my own hair with a u part wig the colour wasn't quite right unfortunately"

"i bought it but i was disappointed when i used it"

"this is good it does blend in with your hair colour it would be even better if i was double jointed and could turn my head round and do the back where as now it’s patchy at the back and looks weird"

"from the reluctant dyer"

"terrible colour"

"terrible product"

"dark blonde ok but colour fades and can look bit copperish"

"second purchase of this only shame is it doesn’t last long but it does a good job"

"i am extremely disappointed!"

"doesn't make your hair stiff unlike some store branded root touch up products : i will definitely stick to this brand in future!"

"it also feels awful in your hair"

"i’m actually shocked at how bad this product is"

"same product can be purchased on many sites for just £7"

"there are a few mixed reviews on here about this particular product"

"have purchased way more expensive products for years which were way inferior compared to this"

"awful bought this in lockdown with hairdresser closed and awful root growth"

"this product didn't even last me a week it comes out so sheer on the hair you need so many layers to actually blend and my hair was already a dark black burgundy color still needed layer on top of layer to cover"

"packaging fine item poor colour poor texture runny and goes light after spraying so disliked it "

"not happy with the size for the price i’m on amazon prime i wish to return this back to amazon and hope you can pick up item ok"

"the spray for me personally was not easy to use first time round as i didn't know how to use it and second time use gradually got the hang of the spray but you have to be careful incase it doesn't go on the forehead the colour doesn't dry in one minute as their said and doesn't cover the odd greys of hair and colour stains on the fingers and hand once you touch your hair but one positive thing i will say it gives a fuller look on the head if you have thin hair"

"used fairy liquid hibiscrub and obviously normal shampoos"

"the negatives are in my opinion too expensive with little product in the bottle so one can don’t last very long and it makes my roots super dry"

"ended up giving it away"

"makes your hair very dry"

"the spray for me personally was not easy to use first time round as i didn't know how to use it and second time use gradually got the hang of the spray but you have to be careful incase it doesn't go on the forehead the colour doesn't dry in one minute as their said and doesn't cover the odd greys of hair and colour stains on the fingers and hand once you touch your hair but one positive thing i will say it gives a fuller look on the head if you have thin hair"

"this one doesn't drip everywhere and doesn't make a mess if you hold it about 5 cm away from your hair and spray"

"i didn’t feel like it work"

"the can also seems to leak when i spray"

"goes on chalky and clogs up hair making it stiff and weird looking"

"does the job but messy and leaves your hair feeling dry"

"this does work perfect for root retouch but it leaves like a hard lacquer coating on the hair which makes hair wirey that i don't like"

"it is not a permanent roots dye spray as i thought it was obviously my error but it was poorly advertised"

"so easy to use but would say use it near a sink as sometimes it does give off little splashes not much"

"can be messy if not careful"

"good product but expensive for the size but no choice during lockdown while hairdressers are shut"

"after three months of growth i wasn't expecting miracles!"

"if you do a section strand test use a part section of your underneath hair that is hidden and apply light even strokes let dry and check"

"sprayed it onto the back of my hand and to be honest it sprays everywhere i can't see how you could spray this easily along your hair line and not make a big mess"

"don’t think twice"

"don't sweat it runs"

"didn't like this product"

"makes hair a bit dry but 8 can live with that"

"do not buy this its useless"

"just as advertised"

"and even after washing twice still can’t get the horrible waxy feeling gone"

"this one never did that"

"didn’t make any difference and makes your hair feel greasy and awful"

"if you spray your hair more liberally i don't think the small can would last very long at all"

"i wouldn’t bye it again "

"it covers grey hair though but not for long time"

"good for in a rush makes my hair feel horrible though heavy"

"this one doesn't drip everywhere and doesn't make a mess if you hold it about 5 cm away from your hair and spray"

"this is dark brown not blond at all!"

"i received 75ml bottles"

"does the job but messy and leaves your hair feeling dry"

"it isn't the blond i expected it is very dark"

"sadly the product didn’t work at all my roots aren’t that dark but this didn’t make any difference and just made my hair greasy i can’t return it due to lockdown so i guess keep my money"

"what i have found is if you are buying this to cover up all of your root growth or grey hairs then you will be disappointed!"

"best ever forgeting rid of grey and matches my hair colour"

"this is good it does blend in with your hair colour it would be even better if i was double jointed and could turn my head round and do the back where as now it’s patchy at the back and looks weird"

"it goes on a very very dark brown"

"the first time i sprayed it i was hesitant and there was some very slight drip from the can nozzle but it washed straight off the sink with water"

"but i find it a bit itchy"

"does not cover my greys"

"packaging fine item poor colour poor texture runny and goes light after spraying so disliked it "

"comes off on your hands terrible idea as don't dry properly"

"bit darker than i thought it was going to be but during covid 19 need something to cover the grey!"

"hides roots but also disguises my thinning hair patches"

"having spent a fortune on root retouch products over the past decade or so i am delighted to have ended my quest with this one"

"i only really use it between colours on my parting and even then only just sparsely a it can also dye the scalp"

"would return but unable to visit shops so wasted money im afraid"

"no change to roots at all and it was like glue in your hair"

"i have totally white hair so i spread a little all over my hair"

"i have been buying this spray on a few occasions but i find it very frustrating because the size of the bottle doesn't represent what's in the can because after only a few sprays it's finished and i have to be back ordering another one"

"definitely not a solution the product makes the hair horribly sticky and leaves stains everywhere"
