Advantages Natural looking dye with good coverage of graying hair

Disadvantages Unnatural chemical ingredients!

The Product ~ 'Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber.....not the toy'! :~)

I was thrilled to see Avon is now manufacturing hair dyes. When my local Avon rep left me the company's campaign brochure number 15, I looked over the several pages of the hair dyes on offer. The pages are laid out so professionally, with pictures of all the colours available. The company also gives advice alongside on which shades would be best for the consumers natural hair colour. As a child I had very light brown hair. These days, my hair is a mixture of chestnut brown with wild splashing of gray! I attempted to grow it out the first time I came across Dooyoo member Graygirl's profile pic, as I love the beautiful hair colour she has, but alas, it just came out looking like Worzel Gummidge!

Avon Advance Techniques Hair Colour
I regularly dye my hair, choosing the range most fitted to my natural colour but a brand that promised 'perfect gray coverage' as this product does. I ordered the medium copper brown which was delivered in a very professionally designed box. The front of the package has a woman with the aforementioned hair colour. In large bold silver lettering is the brand name.

On the sides and reverse of the box is detailed all the relevant information the majority of popular brands of hair dye notes on. Such advice as allergic reaction warnings and lengthy listing of ingredients with pictures of the items enclosed in the package too. Inside the box are two sachets, one for pre-treating the hair and post-treatment, along with the developing lotion, cream colourant and gloves. A large sheet of instructions is also enclosed with the dye items. The leaflet shows excellent images complete with very simple to understand instructions, along with everything the consumer needs to know regarding the hair dying process.

Usage Experience ~ 'Tie Dye'

When I first received my Avon order, I eagerly took out the leaflet of instructions and noticed that the solution was not to be applied to hair recently washed hair. In fact, under the sub-heading 'getting ready to colour', the directions note that the consumer should 'avoid washing hair for at least 24 hours before applying the hair colour'. As eager as I was to use the colour, I waited until the next day to dye my hair. I have an old t-shirt that I wear to protect my shoulders from dyes as towels tend to slip off when I'm trying to apply dye treatments.

1) Firstly, I applied the contents of the pre-treatment sachet to 'the length and ends' of my dry hair, ensuring that I massaged the thin lotion into the strands well. The pre-treatment is not to be applied to the roots. I found that using this serum on my shoulder length hair covered the areas well. The lotion feels like a cheap version of hair conditioner, thin and lacking richness in texture, yet it has a quality effect on my hair.

2) Without washing this product out, next I had to apply the dye. In a small transparent tube shaped like the Kinder egg product, are the gloves to protect hands whilst performing the hair colouring process.
