I am new to dying my hair myself also just started to get gray hair so new to that as well I remember this product being in my grandma’s drawer forever and ever but it was in a different packaging so when I saw it I said oh I need to try this because this is what she used for years. So I didn’t put the color in my whole entire head because the bottle is way too small that is my number one complaint I have long hair that is down to my lower back but I only have gray hairs around my face that are maybe two or three inches maybe shorter so I took a toothbrush and just brushed where I had the gray hairs I did a patch test first and it matched my hair perfectly so I did that put it on the gray hairs with a toothbrush on dry hair by the way it works better then I let it sit then I washed or rinse it out and it worked beautifully for me the downside is if I was to dye my whole head of hair I would probably need to buy 20 bottles I don’t know if this is the only size it comes in but if there’s a larger size I need to know other than that great product I would give it five stars but I took a star off because of the size of the bottle

I am reviewing Professional Clairol Advanced Gray Hair Solutions, after I first tried the moisturizing version with zero results (it is really designed for non-gray). I am 35-40% silver with fine virgin hair. As a former Cosmetologist, I have become highly sensitive to chemicals from years of exposure working in them. I typically cannot color my hair at all without some sort of negative reaction. I was a long time fan of Clairol’s gentle Loving Care line before it was ultimately discontinued. I had been able to use it successfully for years without issue. If you want the short version, I am thrilled to report this product appears to be a fairly close comparable spinoff of Loving Care. Free of ammonia, peroxide, and other harsh chemicals and tints gray successfully. Just stop reading right here and get it!👍
I first tried the Toasted Hazelnut, the lightest color in this line. The goal being three-dimensional high and lowlights (I used a highlighting cap to achieve this). My existing natural dark, leaving some of my natural silver, and applying the toasted hazelnut color to coat the silver areas of choice. I washed my hair with a clarifying shampoo, so the color would have the best possible chance to coat the hair shaft. I allowed the color to stay on a full 45 minutes, per other reviews. Also, remember my hair was completely resistant to the other color. I wanted it to work! Since this product uses O2 technology, allow air to reach your hair, rather than using the typical plastic cap. The Advanced Gray Solutions version is much thicker. The color is more condensed and resulted in a successful tinting of color on my grays. Expect tint. I also think this formula smells much more pleasant than the mousturizing version. Toasted Hazelnut for me is a pale caramel (see first photo). I will continue to play with other colors in this line. Darker colors may coat and hold somewhat better. (UPDATE!!) Since my original review, I started mixing Espresso Bean and Burgundy Brown. It is bomb! I absolutely love it (see second photo)! It’s rich and natural and covers quite well. This has become my favorite combination, by far 😍
Overall, I am so happy to say the advanced gray version does a great job. I have zero issues using the product. I do not experience the usual dizziness, headache, irritated scalp, or throat that I normally experience with color. Hooray!! An option for very sensitive people. The scent is pleasant in my opinion (for color) and quite tolerable to my very sensitive nose and breathing. It rinses off of skin quite easily. Easy to apply using a standard plastic bowl, applicator brush, and latex gloves. No staining, or mess (just use an old towel). Product rinses from my hair quite easily (use cool water to retain color longer) with no offensive fragrance. My husband loves the light scent it initially leaves behind. I found that quite unusual and pleasant. I do wish the results lasted longer. I always notice a loss of color from one shampoo. I typically shampoo once/twice a week. It lasts through 4-5 shampoos total for me, still leaving a very light tint by that time. Therefore, I reapply every couple, to 3 weeks. This has truly been a game changer for me. An excellent hair color product for sensitive people in my honest and professional opinion 😊 Yes!!
Thanks so very much, Clairol. Please don’t stop making this one!!

I have been wearing my hair natural for over 20 yrs. I am somewhat skeptical when choosing products as my hair tends to react by falling if I choose incorrectly. This product left my hair feeling soft and just the perfect black. It covered all my grays perfectly. If your grays are stubborn like mine, especially around the forehead, do consider applying a little more products in this area to ensure proper application outcome. This is now added to my choice of products.

J’ai un cheveux colorés brun moyen. J’ai fait deux essais avec ce produit sur quelques mèches de cheveux. J’ai laissé le produit 30 min la 1re fois et 45 min la 2e fois. Un très léger reflet comme résultat. Les cheveux gris ont été couvert à 50% aux endroits en question. Par contre les mèches étaient douces et moins rebelles. Il faut bien rincer et essorer pour retirer le maximum de solution des cheveux. J’ai appliqué ce produit hier donc il n’y a pas eu de shampoing à ce jour. J’ai commandé la teinte plus pâle pour un autre essai. Mon objectif est d’avoir des reflets plus clairs à quelques endroits sur mes cheveux.

Midnight Black is a hit ! Some people may say the color doesn’t completely penetrate the hair when you have grays. However, the key is HEAT! I always use my heating bonnet when I color my hair because the color stick to the hair. Remember, this is a semi permanent color. It coats the hair. It doesn’t penetrate the hair like permanent dye. So you need heat for the color to go through. Ladies, don’t just put a plastic bag on your head, use heat. The pictures are before and after. The third picture, my hair looks shorter because I curled my hair with perm rods.

I haven’t dyed my hair in 8 months, thinking I would go grey. With 50% grey, my skin tone was starting to look sallow. I decided to try a semi permanent dye, hoping that if I didn’t like it, it would wash out. The Toasted Hazelnut colour went on very dark brown, so I was a little concerned about the outcome. But after rinsing, it is a beautiful, shiny neutral light brown. No brassiness, only conditioned soft hair! I love it!

I have been going to hair salons for over 30 years now, but never got this good quality of color before.
my hair is about 40% gray, and this semi-permanent hair color covered all my gray hair. i ordered 3 bottles, i have short hair, i have covered my hair 3 times already and i am still on the same bottle.
i used the instructions from other reviews, washed hair with Johnson’s Baby Shampoo, pat towel dried hair to make hair damp. put color, comb through hair, than wait for 30 minutes, , first pic is my gray, this was before i used the Light golden chestnut, it lightens a bit more each time i use this color, which is great on my light skin tone. 2nd pic is my first time i used the color from Amazon, color sticks to hair same way stain sticks to wood.
Could only put 5 stars, but I give this product 10 stars!

I’m very allergic/sensitive to harsh chemicals and thought I’d try this as it doesn’t contain ammonia or peroxide. The patch test went well, so I went ahead, and am very pleased with the result. It was very easy to use, the dye is thick and doesn’t drip at all. The little bit that got on my skin was easily washed off. Despite the thickness of the dye, it was easy to rinse off after the required 25 minutes. The dye takes a while to fade (it’s been 5 shampoos since and hardly any fading). However, as my hair grows fast, the white roots appear after 2 weeks. I reapply the dye to just the roots, not a problem. Overall, I’m very happy to have found this product and I hope it never goes out of production.

The product works well, but where are the instructions? If you lift the label to look for instructions, you only get text in French, which explains that you have to do an allergy skin test first before use, and that this item is for professional salon use only. What? So what about the instructions on how to color your hair with it? I had to look it up on YouTube, because I don’t like guessing at how I need to use a product. It does color grays, though, so it does what it says. You just need to give us first-time users some instructions.

I like this hair color.
For context, I have level 6 brown hair naturally with some grey and a good amount of blue pigment staining in the ends that I was trying to neutralize. This color (Espresso Bean) is neutral but was warm enough to cancel out the blue, and blended well with the lighter color in my roots.
After washing it every few days with a color safe shampoo and cold water for two weeks, I am starting to see the color fading from my grey hair but still looks good.
I would like to note that the ends of my hair were treated with Demi permanent color at one point, whereas the crown is unprocessed. This hair color is only semi permanent and will not last as long on unprocessed hair as well as it would on hair that has been colored previously with developer.
Also, trust the directions when it says to use *Damp* hair. I tried a test strand on dry hair and nothing happened. The color is nice. the smell isn’t bad, but you will smell it for a few days after coloring.
