Clairol Nice'n Easy Tone+Gloss is designed for straightforward application and consistent results. Users can expect the dye to effectively blend existing grey hairs, providing natural-looking coverage rather than a solid block of color. The 'Darkest Brown' shade offers a deep, rich brown hue that complements many natural hair colors.
Perform a Patch Test: Always conduct an allergy patch test 48 hours before full application, even if you've used hair dye before. This is crucial for safety.
Conduct a Strand Test: Before coloring your entire head, apply the dye to a small, hidden section of hair. This helps you determine the exact processing time needed to achieve your desired color and assess how the shade will look on your specific hair.
Prepare Your Hair: For best results, apply to clean, dry hair. Avoid using conditioner immediately before coloring, as it can create a barrier.
Even Application: Ensure the product is distributed evenly from root to tip. Use a comb to help spread the color if necessary.
Timing is Key: Adhere strictly to the 20-minute processing time. Leaving it on longer than recommended will not make the color more permanent or intense, but could potentially over-process the hair.
Rinse Thoroughly: After processing, rinse your hair with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Follow with a conditioner designed for color-treated hair to seal the cuticle and enhance shine.
Subtle Grey Blending: Greys will be less noticeable, integrated smoothly into your base color.
Enhanced Natural Tone: Your existing hair color will gain depth and richness.
Noticeable Shine: The conditioning gloss will leave your hair looking healthier and more radiant.
Gradual Fade: The color will gently wash out over subsequent shampoos, typically fading naturally over 3-4 weeks depending on washing frequency and hair porosity.
Read Instructions Thoroughly: Before beginning, carefully read all instructions provided in the product box.
Gather Supplies: You will need gloves (usually included), a non-metallic bowl (if mixing), an old towel to protect clothing, a timer, and an applicator brush or comb if preferred over the provided bottle.
Protect Skin: Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly or a thick moisturizer around your hairline, ears, and neck to prevent skin staining.
Prepare Work Area: Cover surfaces with old newspapers or towels to protect against spills.
Age Group: This product is intended for adult use.
Hair Type: Suitable for most hair types, including natural, permed, or relaxed hair, provided you perform a strand test first. If your hair is heavily bleached or damaged, consult the product leaflet for specific advice.
Previous Color: Can be used on previously colored hair, but always perform a strand test to predict the final shade, especially if switching significantly from a prior color.
Other Variants: This particular shade is 'Darkest Brown 300/84'. Other shades like 'Light Ash Brown', 'Amber', 'Medium Brown', and 'Black' are available within the Clairol Nice'n Easy Tone+Gloss range.
Gentle Washing: Use color-safe shampoos and conditioners to help prolong the vibrancy of your semi-permanent color.
Cool Water Rinses: Rinsing with cooler water can help seal the hair cuticle and reduce color bleed.
Limit Heat Styling: Excessive heat from styling tools can cause color to fade faster. Use heat protectants and lower heat settings.
Sun Protection: UV exposure can dull hair color. Consider using hair products with UV filters or wearing a hat when in direct sunlight for extended periods.
