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

I recently tried this demi-permanent hair color, and its effectiveness completely surprised me—it gave my dull hair a gorgeous, salon-like finish. The shade I picked matched the description with accurate color that didn’t turn brassy or overly dark. I was especially impressed by how gentle it felt during application, with almost no hair damage even on my fragile ends. It’s super easy to use, especially with the 1:2 mixing ratio that made prep simple and mess-free. For such professional-looking results, the affordability is unbeatable—I got vibrant, rich color without spending a fortune. I’m definitely keeping this brand in rotation for future touch-ups.

This did exactly what I needed it to. Slighting deepened and mostly neutralized the copper/red tones in my bleached hair for a natural/golden dark blonde.

I love when I get my hair so Black & so Dark that it looks fake! This is perfect, I use it with a 10 developer & the results are always the same.. for being Demi-permanent I unfortunately still get A LOT of wash out with “color safe” shampoo & conditioners but I also wash my hair 1x a week so maybe that’s too often (?)

I used this color 5N to tone down orange highlights. It worked great and made them darker, like a reddish brown instead of bright copper. I am dark brown with highlights. My mistake not buying the volume 10 developer at first. I don't suggest trying without it, it was a waste of product. The developer did not lighten any hair that I didn't want lighter. It opens the hair to accept the brown pigment. I highly recommend a cheap mixing bowl, gloves, brush and clips. I can understand why people think this product will dry your hair out. If you use it for the recommended duration or less then rinse and seal with a conditioner, your hair should retain a smooth/soft feel. The first attempt, I used shampoo and no developer, my hair felt dry after.

Great for gray/white hair. I have well water and I use this product to take (some) of the discoloration out of my white hair and give it a really good shine. I have been using this for many years and I love the product. One tube lasts me 3 applications. I have short hair and it does not take the whole tube to cover it. I just close it up and put it away until I need it again. This product is clear and does not add any color to white or very light hair.

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 wayFor 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.***

This demi color covered the gray at my temples better than permanent color does! Be sure to rinse...then shampoo n condition. Excellent results...very happy with beautiful caramel blonde color!!!
