Jerome Russell Colour Bomb Brights – Violet Red Colour Depositing Hair Mask – Nourishing, Semi-Permanent Colour & Shine Treatment – Vegan, Cruelty-Free, 300 ml

I ended up going from a level 10 bleached blonde down to a level 7 dark blonde with a well known permanent hair dye brand, and I wasn't happy with the results. I ended up with a slightly greenish 'hollow' muddy brown look that I wasn't happy with. So I came across this product in 'bronde' and read some reviews, and thought well, for the money, let's give it a go! I'm glad I did! I'm the mask added some lovely deep tones to my hair that has ridden me of the horrible green tinge jn my hair, and has given me a lovely dark blonde. I left the mask in for about half hour, completely saturating my hair, then conditioned for a minute just to add moisture and I ended up with lovely, well conditioned and shiny hair, thats absorbed the colour evenly. The smell is lovely, easy enough to use, and I think the price is really good. I had to out quite a lot on my hair just to ensure the green tone was taken out, but I believe that you can also mix these colour bombs together to make a perfect tone which is good, so if I decide I want to transition to a richer brown colour, I can mix in with warm blonde to make into a nice golden dark blonde/light brown colour. These hair masks are so much better than permanent dye. Permanent dye is so unpredictable and damaging so after using this mask I was able to achieve the colour I wanted. Not sure how long it will last as its only been a day since I've done it, but it definitely works. Leaves hair well conditioned, shiny and covers hair strands with no damage! What more can a girl want eh? I would recommend!!! Update: I HAVE CURRENTLY USED THE NEW 'JEROME RUSSELL BRUNETTE' IN COOL BROWN, and it didn't take to my hair like the 'bronde' in this original review did. Didn't cover my natural hair or greys, and the colour didn't even take to my already medium brown hair. It did however leave it nice and shiny and helped the condition of my hair. But the brunette colour is very pricey for what it is £14.99, and because it didn't work the way intended, I wouldn't recommend this particular colour in the brunettes range. Overpriced and ineffective and I'm very disappointed. For this I'd give a 2 STAR only for the condition and shine it leaves afterwards.

My hair was virgin medium brown when I dyed it a deep burgundy at a salon (without bleach). It was nice but a little disappointing because it was only visible in sunlight, and the change was barely visible indoors. Disappointed, and feeling helpless and hopeless as I was against bleaching, I tried this product in Berry Red and was anxious about trying it because I didn’t know if it will work on my darker hair. BUT IT DID. The Berry Red has a pinkish tint to it which was exactly what I wanted, because it blended nicely with the burgundy base and made the purplish burgundy tone that I desperately wanted!! As I was drying and styling it, the colour was noticeable in indoor lighting. It still needs to be under lighting to appear in its full vividness, but it certainly satisfied me. The product is easy to clean off the bathroom tiles and sink, a spritz from a basic bathroom cleaner easily cleared it so it’s not at all hard to clean up. On the skin, however, I made the stains go away with facial cleanser on a cotton pad and it took a few rubs but it does go away so I find it quite easy to clean up, but it IS messy so definitely wear gloves and take off any jewellery. The water runs pink when rinsing it off the hair and the product leaves pinkish stains so this shade like I mentioned before has a pinkish undertone which is something you should keep in mind if you’re layering shades like I am. The bottle came a little smaller than I expected, but the product itself is quite saturated and I didn’t feel I had to use too much of it on my long hair (I avoided the roots and top crown but applied it onto 90% of my long hair) so I feel it would last me a while. It did leave my hair nicely soft and smooth when I was styling it with my hot comb afterwards. It smells nice but it’s not exceptionally fragrant, it just smells pleasant. It was easy to apply (I used my gloved hands and a wide-toothed comb). All in all, absolutely lovely product, did not disappoint with my darker hair, and provided the extra brightness I wanted.

The quality of this product is fantastic, colour is so vibrant and rich and leaves your hair feeling so soft. Only downside for me is the pump action on the bottle does not work, making it rather messy having to take the lid off and pour the product out.

This is lovely,wanted a change from hair dyes as my hair colour is copper and I have to dye roots every 2 weeks,read a few reviews about the product not covering grey but it does work on grey! It put a huge shine on my hair too and smells lovely, obviously purchased the copper,will be buying more,colours lasts longer than I expected

This is easy to use and the pump bottle makes is convenient. I used the cool brown because I don’t like warmth on my hair, It gives a gloss to the hair. However, it does absolutely nothing for grey hair. I’ve previously used the Wella gloss which does cover grey not completely but makes them less noticeable, which is what I like, this however does not. Makes zero difference to grey but gives a nice shine. I won’t be repurchasing and will go back to wella.
