Advantages: Easy to use, looks good, doesn't take a long time
Disadvantages: None!

...I decided to go for Clairol Nice'n'Easy 120 - Natural Dark Brown. I am aware this review is quite long, so I've put information under headings. If you feel a section isn't interesting or relevant to you, please feel free to skip bits! WHAT COLOUR SHOULD I CHOOSE? ******************************************** There are a few things to consider when dyeing your hair. First, what is your natural colour? It's never a good idea to use a home hair-dye ...
...you can afford the hairdresser's prices, go for a colour within two shades of your natural one. Secondly, you also should consider your skin tone. Most people have either pink-toned skin or yellow-toned skin. This applies to black skin too, but you'll have a different choice of colours which suit you. Have a close look in a mirror in front of a window. People with pink-toned skin should choose warm colours such as reds, mahoganies, or could choose ... Read review

Advantages: price, easy to apply
Disadvantages: contains harsh chemicals, may look a bit 'fake'

...this reason, I chose the Clairol nice n easy range. The image of this brand, like most others, is one of care and nourishment so I thought I might as well give it a go. This product promises Long-lasting, beautiful colour full of depth, dimension and shine working with your tones and highlights for the most natural colour for you. The range The nice n easy range has by far the most diverse collection of shades, so there is bound to be something ...
...colours to name them all, but as an example, colours I have used in the past include 102 ash blonde, 101 baby blonde and 106 medium ash blonde. Just look at my profile picture to see the type of shade this produces. A box of the hair dye costs around £4.75, which is about average compared to other brands. It retails in almost all chemists and supermarkets and is quite often part of a buy one get one free promotion. There are three levels of hair ... Read review

Advantages: Does exactly what it says on the packet
Disadvantages: Make sure you follow the instructions properly

...across a magazine advertisement for Clairol - "Make the most of your natural beauty" it said - I was hooked! But even so - Clairol produce five different products. I read through their descriptions and really was none the wiser but then I noticed at the bottom - "For personalised hair colour advice call a Clairol consultant". So I did. I explained my predicament - or a shortened version of it. The consultant asked lots of sensible questions, explained ...
...- if in doubt the Clairol consultant recommended choosing a lighter colour as it is then easier to make it darker if you require. There are so many chemicals listed on the side of the box that they had to continue the list on the bottom of the box - I didn't look too closely - there are some things a girl doesn't need to know! **Instructions** The four page instructions are in English and Dutch and very clearly laid out. The first thing they recommend ... Read review

Advantages: covers grey well, leaves hair shiny, easy to use, can apply to dry hair (less mess!)
Disadvantages: smells disgusting, looks disgusting

I've got 40 minutes to kill on Ciao at the moment, cos my hair is piled up on top of my head, and I have the oldest towel I could find draped around my shoulders. Since I realised last week that I'm going so grey that I really need to do something about it, I checked Ciao (as you do) to see what the top hair colourants were, and Clairol's Nice and Easy came out at number 2 (pretty good recommendation I'd say) and cost me only £5.69. Price was probably ...
...to claim my soft toy at Boots, and so even though this is often available on special offer for less, I paid the full 5.69 and got a cuddly dolphin thrown in. (they were all out of moles.) The shade I picked is called 141 deep natural medium brown (which is pretty much my original hair colour, minus the grey.) But the bit that really caught my eye was the "Extra Grey Coverage Formula". Hurrah! Bye bye prematurely aging granny lookalike, hello Catherine ... Read review

Advantages: easy to use, good results
Disadvantages: none for me

...and my favourite brand is Clairol Nice ‘n’ Easy. These days I tend to go for the subtle shades and I am at the age where the grey hairs are starting to appear so I like to keep these well covered. I don’t usually pay the full price of £5.69 as I wait until it is on special offer in Boots and I bought it last week for £3.79. Boots usually have a good choice of colours in Blonde, Red, Brunette and Black. Each box on display shows ...
...shade. So it is easy to see what the colour is likely to be. Each colour is clearly marked on the front and the top of the box with the name of the shade and a number. This is ideal if you want to use the same colour again as you can either write the name and number down or keep the top of the box. The box also shows you what colour hair the shade is suitable for and gives a picture showing the before and after colour results. It gives a brief description ... Read review
