10-minute hair dye - have you tried it?

Perfect 10 is rubbish, greys came back very quickly.

Excel10, after first condemning it because it turned my hair black I have now come around to. Mum put the colour on a few weeks ago and I've only just started noticing a bit of grey, I'd definitely use it again but would choose my colour wisely. I've got very dark brown hair and went for the natural dark brown. In the future I think i'll try chocolate brown.

I used one recently - Garnier Herbashine?

The colour came out nothing like it was on the box - much darker - but the grey coverage seemed ok (although it said 60% grey coverage, not 100%).

I tried the Nice N Easy 10 min jobby and it was rubbish - grey came back in a couple of weeks. Then tried the L'Oreal 10 min jobby and have been really pleased (twice so far). It leaves my hair reeeeeaalllly shiny too. Have always been imprssed by L'Oreal - before this I was a slave to the Feria colours.

I used the excel10 last night on a friend - it looked black when it was on but came out a lovely warm brown.

I've got 2 boxes upstairs (have thick hair!) but haven't used yet.

My probably rather silly question is, does it stop developing after 10 minutes, as it will take about 20 minutes to put on all my hair, and I don't want to be multicoloured!

Oh - I start my timing from when I've finished application (admittedly my hair's quite short and fine, so application doesn't take that long...).

I start timing when application is completed too, although I always do the stubborn grey first so it has longer to work.

I use the Perfect 10 and top up with a Boots Root Kit every 3 weeks. My grey is really bad but I cant justify a salon hair colour every few weeks, so home hair dye a go go it is.

I've used the L'oreal one and the perfect 10 one. I have loads of grey hairs (thanks Dad!) and found the l'oreal one to be better, although I've had to use perfect 10 recently as my local tesco don't seem to stock the l'oreal one. I've got a perfect 10 one upstairs but am a bit worried as its darker than the one I've used before.

Has anyone used the perfect 10 dark brown before? I will probably hate it. I want nice hair for the party I've organised for my H's 30th!!

PS I can't afford a hairdresser to colour mine either although to be honest my sister does the home colour for me and it looks just as good

I tried Perfect10 but it looked shyte within a couple of weeks.

I have far far too much grey now ☹️ I have started getting highlights at the salon which looks better than a whole head colour when the grey comes through.

A 10 minute kit is always going to be a 'semi-permanent' colour - so if you have a lot of grey, or stubborn grey hairs, they don't stand a chance of coverage. Don't waste your money, just buy a permanent colour. (They need 30-45 mins development time depending on brand)
