COLORCHARM Demi Permanent Hair Color - Gloss, Refresh & Tone - 2 Fl Oz

12.18.23~ After bleaching my shoulder length hair with 2 Boxes of Garnier, the 7 level Bleach not 3, my grey and med brown roots, lifted white as snow. Followed all directions but even tho I applied roots last, should have waited til ends lifted. After years of coloring but not bleaching other than highlighting, I freaked out a bit bout leaving it more than 45 minutes. My hair was medium (level 8) blonde but had a "wash out "pink that well...didn't. So there was a bit more end lift involved bc of the ever dreaded red added aka pink base. The new growth uncolored root hair needed maybe 15 minutes. Left it just over 20. For the most was happy with the lift and results of the bleach. Would recc Garnier. If the roots didn't go white, would have continued with my highlight plan to even out. After couple weeks & lots of deep conditioning. Would highlight & use a gloss. But the roots were white and was not going to add more permanent color. Also wasn't walking around with white roots. What am I Mrs Claus? Well sometimes.. I do bake cookies but didn't start coloring grey at 20 to go white. ** Hello youtube my old friend. Hairstylist (Elle Bangs) was using Wella Color Charm demi ( which means it washes out gradually). She did a cocktail and mixed 2 colors to get the tone she wanted. I know how to color mix but didn't know demi would give same effect as perm. Maybe all brands don't but Wella did. Ordered 10NA ( the color I wanted my hair) & 9CB for roots. I have Light/Med Cool tone skin. My natural blonde friend is going white. Learned the only way to add color to white is add yellow. Even on Cool Tone skin. A glob of 9CB with a dash of 10NA (yes that's scientific term) made my white roots match. Added 10NA solo to bleached ends that still had yellow I did not want. Now my hair is a cool 10NA. The color held strong for 3-4 washes about 2 weeks. Now it's finally at the point I can highlight & gloss. Would absolutely use this again to color deposit w Color Charm Activator not Developer. Hope this ever so short novel helps you find what you needed.

This product works with salon quality. It’s great and affordable to use a home. The product is consistent and the color matches each time. With this product I’m able to cover my gray roots.

GAME CHANGER!! I am so so happy with this product and excited to stop paying $90-115 at the salon for Demi-permanent color and gloss. I was already a fan of how Demi-color tints gray hair at my hairline, but I have never colored my hair at home before. It was so easy! I got a plastic cup and squirted an amount the size of a cherry; then I added double of the developer ($9). I used a medium size make up brush to stir it just because I had one on hand he used it to paint my grays on my hairline (I was being careful to not touch my skin, but it didn’t seem harsh and didn’t smell so I don’t know if I needed to be so careful). Then I took the rest of it and applied through more of my hair. 20 minutes later I should’ve paid it out and it looks even better than the salon. My hair was thicker, shinier, softer and grays were all covered or tinted. None of those crazy permanent color fumes, stains, or pages of instructions. If you haven’t used this kind of product before you should take time to figure out your shade; I was surprised my color had the word blonde because I’m definitely a brunette and used 7WG. It’s the color of caramel or a dark honey. In the picture all of my hairline is gray hair underneath, and it blends beautifully and looks like a highlight. I had been told the N colors were best at covering gray, but this did just fine. Even if this color only lasts a month I don’t care bc it was so easy and so much cheaper. I put the tube cap on tight and plan to use it 6 months.

This is definitely darker than anyone's expectation of this product id say. I dont even think this is light brown much less in the range of level 7 hair. It is medium brown and is closer to level 5 hair. I was level 8/9 bleached blonde before as you can see in the photo. I used the 7n with 10 volume, painted just the roots and left it for 10 min before spreading it all over the hair and leaving it for a couple minutes before rinsing off. I was a bit confused when it was wet as it had a weird yellow sheen to it which conflicts with the blue base and gives off almost forest green vibes. I think because my base was so light the components of the "neutral" tones were clashing. However once it dried, it turned a nice ashy medium brown. I wanted to be a bronde so this is much darker than my anticipated outcome but im not mad about it. It looks even and filled my very very empty cuticles nicely. The color reminds me of the viral teddy bear brunette. Since this is demi permanamt and my hair was very light itll fade overtime as well and im looking forward to that.

Best gloss easy to apply no mess and has no bad scent and it last for a while do recommend

For those who don't want to read a novel (although I suggest you do since I know these were not fully beginner mistakes): Very messy application, color is patchy after thorough application, color lasted worse than a semi permanent dye, lifted roots in a weird way For those who want to understand the full issue: This color is a mess in so many ways, the inconsistency between the different colors is insane. I have tried 6g, 7wg, 7rr, and 5rr and I can't say I've been pleased with any of them. The 6g and 7wg are probably the better of the ones I've tried, since they stayed pretty good, but the 7wg faded horribly fast for me. The 6g didn't really budge (I only kept the color for around 2 weeks) and when I bleached my hair (I should have used a color remover but I didn't) my hair turned a nasty orange so be aware of that, that's most likely due to the golden undertones. For the red shades, I know they fade fast because that is the nature of the hair color and molecules but these reds faded too fast, I've used semi permanents that have lasted significantly longer than this. I tried to mix 7wg, 5rr, and 7rr, and got a gorgeous Auburn color but after ONE wash in super cold water, literally all of the color rinsed out. I thought it was maybe my bleached hair that caused the color to not stick (I FILLED the hair beforehand so the starting shade was 1-2 levels lighter than my final goal shade) but even on my healthy roots, the color is gone. Bare in mind I'm not clueless on hair color so I used special sulfate and paraben/ color safe shampoo and that still happened. The application process was also way too messy, this new formula is significantly more liquidy so if you can, use a bottle for application and be prepared to clean up a lot. The color runs a ton but that's to be expected with red shades. Red dye generally does fade faster and run a lot, because of the larger dye molecules, but this was excessive for a demi permanent shade. Lastly, I like to oversaturate my hair and do very small sections so I KNOW I don't miss any spots so with this hair color, I used 2 1/2 tubes of color and the corresponding amount of developer (I measured everything) and did my very small sections and cross checked as I usually do when I apply color. The color came out patchy in some areas and looked like I didn't saturate or section enough, which I know I didn't do. Again, that could be due to my bleached hair and uneven porosity but the patchiness happened in areas other than my "problem area" or super porous area. Also I fully understand 10 volume developer can have some lifting capabilities but now that the color has washed out, my roots are not the same color they were before, which makes this the most bizarre experience I have ever had with a demi permanent color. I've used other brands in the past and my natural color stayed the same but that's not the case with this stuff. I've never gambled before but this hair color truly feels like I did. I've now wasted $35, all of my Sally's rewards, and a lot of time trying to make this stuff work but it never did. I highly DO NOT RECOMMEND this hair color! If you have light enough natural hair or bleached hair and use semi permanent dye, yes it could wash out fast but compared to this demi permanent color, it would be more worth it since there's no developer, less damage. What ever you do, I would stay away from this garbage. ***Final thoughts: This demi permanent color behaves a lot like a semi permanent color (running and fading fast) but in my experience, way worse. Please keep all of these things in mind if you decide to purchase, you are putting developer in your hair, damaging your hair, for a subpar result. I have experience and there's always room to learn, but this was unlike any other color I have used.***

The coverage is what I wanted. I am working on growing out grays. Demi permanent is not the same as permanent and will not typically fully cover gray. I'm not understanding why there a reviews that are mad that grays are not fully covered. Anyways, my natural is between 1M and 2N. I read the reviews and saw that 4N runs dark. This is definitely more like my natural hair color, not a 4N. This brand is a favorite of my bestfriend that is a hairstylist and she is who recommended it to me. The product was easy to work with and spreads nicely through the hair with minimal effort.
