Clairol Perfect 10 Haircolor

An unplanned vacation.  A beyond-busy week at work.  A scheduling nightmare trying to get in to my stylist for a color boost.  All of this combined is what lead me to pick up a box of Clairol Perfect 10 Haircolor (part of the Nice 'n Easy line) while at Target last weekend.  I was hesitant, but I had seen the advertising and thought--actually prayed--that I wouldn't have anything to lose.

Perfect 10 Haircolor is a three step system similar to most other color at home kits.  You mix the tube of color into a bottle and apply to your hair.  But this applicator is different than anything else out there.  At the top of the applicator bottle, instead of a nozzle, there is a comb-like attachment, that the haircolor is dispensed from.  The last step is an intensive conditioning treatment that seals and maintains your color.  I found the color easy to apply and loved this new applicator.  I left the color on for the recommended 10 minutes, plus an extra 5 minutes, as directed, to cover gray.

What makes this product different from other at-home haircoloring kits?  First, the time factor; it cuts processing time in half.  I love that!  Also, the pH in this product is lower, that means the formula is more gentle on your hair. So what about the results?  That's really what matters, isn't it?  Overall, I really liked this product and would definitely consider buying it again if I were in a pinch.  The problem that I have with Perfect 10 Haircolor, is that in only 10 (yes 10) days, my grays are popping up again.  I expect better staying power than that, especially when I use a shampoo for color treated hair, a heat protectant product--in other words, I go through great lengths to insure that my color-treated hair is protected. 

Clairol Perfect 10 Haircolor costs about $13.99 and is available at most drug and discount stores, including Target.

I have used other haircolors, but perfect 10 gave me a much richer, more even color and I love that it only took 10 mins. :)

Thanks for the review! It is very helpful to all of us who are picky consumers ;-)
I try to stay away from those home coloring kits, but like you said, it'll be a good option to have when I'm in a pinch. Thanks!!
