Nicky Clarke Colour

Advantages: Easy application, nice warm colour
Disadvantages: None that I can find yet!

What am I reviewing? Nicky Clarke Truffle coloured colour system with honey and beeswax. This is a wash in colour, which will wash out in 15 - 20 washes. I bought this colour a few weeks ago from Boots, it was £7.00 which is more than the ones I have used before but I was feeling like a treat and not knowing what to buy decided to give myself a lift with a hair colour. So, why did I choose this one? Well, it took me ages to choose, I looked at ...
...good to me! Nicky Clarke colour works best on dry hair. All the other sorts I have used over the years have said to apply on damp towel dried hair, so this is new for me. They advise to take all jewellery off, I guess it will discolour any jewellery if it gets onto it, so off came mine. They also advise me to protect my clothes, well I am wearing an old black sleeveless tee shirt so with a dark coloured old towel that was good enough. I didn't actually ... Read review

Advantages: doesn't contain ammonia, hair feels like a dream
Disadvantages: Developer and application bottle - gloves are flimsy

...my hand! STRIKE ONE AGAINST NICKY CLARKE Adding the colourant to the colour developer wasn't exactly easy either. My tube appeared to have an air pocket or something trapped in it, because I had to REALLY squeeze hard to get the colourant out. STRIKE TWO AGAINST NICKY CLARKE Finally, I shook the goo in the applicator bottle up, and snapped the top off. The goo wouldn't come out of the spout - despite repeated attempts I ended up applying the goo ...
...assure you. STRIKE THREE AGAINST NICKY CLARKE The plus side here is that the goo is reasonably thick, so you don't get lots of dribbles of dye on your head! YAY. ~The colour ~ JET BLACK! Just what I wanted. Most people can never see what I'm on about when I moan that my hair doesn't look black, but I know what I mean. This is jet black and I'm happy! ONE HAPPY POINT FOR NICKY CLARKE ~The condition~ OHMYGOD ... my hair feels in WONDERFUL condition. ... Read review

Advantages: The colour looked really nice.
Disadvantages: Not a great deal of colour solution provided.

...applied in addition to the Nicky Clarke but the colour had dramatically improved the look and feel of my hair. Also it had completely covered my blonde streaks which really shocked me for a semi permanent colour. Overall. I would recommend this product only on the basis that you get someone to do it for you who can blend the colour through. If you try and do it alone you’ll tip the contents of the bottle over one side of your head and have none ...
...simply buy two bottles! I am next time I do it now I know I like the colour. I know its going to be pricey but this really was the nicest result I have had from a home colour. I have only given four stars because of the lack of generosity in the amount of solution supplied. ... Read review

Advantages: Smelt nice, moisturising
Disadvantages: Not enough, made hair lank, made hair darker than what it should of done

...would be enough, after all, Nicky Clarke should know what he’s doing and he uses this colour in his salons! The mixture has honey and beeswax in it, for moisturising and it smelt quite nice, none of that horrid ‘take your breath away’ stench of normal colours. I started applying to my dry hair, I’d only covered my fringe and the sides of my hair and I’d run out of mixture!! HELP!! I tried massaging it in and combed ...
...and ratty. I would of needed 10 bottles to cover my short hair with it!! After 5mins I noticed my hair getting quite dark and I panicked, this wasn’t supposed to happen!!! I immediately rushed to the bathroom and washed it off. You’re supposed to leave it on for between 15-30mins, depending on whether you have any grey hair or if your hair is dark blonde. Once I’d dried off, I noticed my pale blonde hair was now, a medium blonde, ... Read review

Advantages: Smells lovely. Great colour and nice conditioner to use after.
Disadvantages: Expensive, not much in the bottle. Rubbish gloves.

I spent ages choosing which brand of temporary hair colour to buy. I finally decided on this one "Chili" shade of red as I thought it most closely matched the colour I had on at the moment, Live Colour XXL in Red Energy, which is a permanent colour. I'm having half my hair shaved off in December for an operation so I'm attempting to grow my hair colour out using a temporary colour as I'm naturally blonde and don't fancy half red half blonde hair ...
...I chose this one, despite the price of £7.99 from Boots (I work there so I get a bit of a discount but it's still a lot compared to my usual brand). None of the other brands of temporary colour had a bright red so this was my only option. It says on the box that it will wash out between 15 and 20 washes, if you have matched your natural hair colour with the one on the box. As mine is medium blonde it might last a bit longer as the box says it's ... Read review
