    3 Stars I'm blonde, what's your excuse? UPDATED!! 12/10/2004
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages 99p!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Doesn't make much of a difference straight away.

    It was during the summer that I wanted to experiment with the colour of my hair, and so off I trekked to my local Superdrug to plunge into the never ending depths of the hair colour isle. What should I choose? Vibrant copper? Electric blue? Bubble gum pink? Then there was the dilemma of wash in wash out? Permanent? Semi-permanent? Up to 5 washes? Up to 10 washes? Or get the box that says temporary but take so many bottles of shampoo to lighten it may as well be permanent? Because I didn’t want to do anything do drastic, I knew I wanted something temporary, that that was already on par with my ... more

    5 Stars Excellent product for refreshing dye or a subtle change! 09/05/2013
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Low price, Great colour, refreshes permanent or semi permanent dye, good for a quick change

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Only wish there was a larger range of colours

    Since Wella stopped producing Shaders and Toners wash in, wash out colourants, I have been on the lookout for a brand that would provide the same standard of colouring. Upon seeing Colour Effects on the Superdrug website for just £1.29 I figured 'what the heck! Let's give it a go!' For that price, if it wasn't any good, I wasn't going to be too disappointed. A bit of background on my hair - I had badly damaged my hair with bleach and after dying it back to my natural dark brown, nearly black colour, and treating with Coconut Oil (also from Superdrug) it is looking and feeling pretty normal ... more

    4 Stars 'Dyeing' To look young again !! 23/05/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lovely sleek shiny hair

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Does not cover grey

    I always swore I was going to grow old gracefully, not for me 'Botox' injections, never would I put my 'Boobs' under a surgeon's knife, not in a million years would I resort to a 'Bum' lift and I was going to go grey in a distinguished way!!!!! Sadly the reality is that the wrinkles are rapidly appearing, my boobs are shrinking, my bum is heading south and those niggly little grey strands are poking through and NOT looking very distinguished at all! Thankfully we don't HAVE to resort to drastic measures to correct these imperfections. After all we can use a good foundation to cover those ... more

    4 Stars Surprisingly good! Good quality colour and condition 09/02/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very cheap, lovely rich colours, bottle lasts a good amount of time

    Disadvantages Disadvantages If only it didn't wash out!!

    I had been dying my hair for a few months with semi-permanent hair dye by Loreal (as previously reviewed) to get my hair from grown out golden blonde back to light brunette. But, since I've had it back brown, I've become hungrier to get it to a nice shade of auburn... I love auburn/red tinted hair, always have, so I went for a hunt through Superdrug one day to see what else there was. I came across the Superdrug Colour Effects range, and wasn't sure at first as I don't usually trust Superdrug as a cosmetic brand, but saw the price... and saw the fact it was wash-in wash-out and figured... what ... more

    2 Stars ITS PINK!!! 02/01/2010
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages very cheap :)

    Disadvantages Disadvantages it made my hair pink. (and i used the dark brown colour!)

    My hair is naturally a dark brown, but i've had so many blonde highlights put in it, it is officially blonde. I wanted to see if i wanted to go brunette again, so i decided i would buy a wash in wash out dye. I used the colouring before, but only when i had brown hair to put a tint of red in it and it worked well! So i headed down to superdrug and bought two of the dark brown colour, and then two if the light blonde, just in case the colour didnt lighten properly again. When i got home i noticed the bottle said do not use on bleached hair. I ignored it... BIG MISTAKE! I used the full bottle on ... more

    3 Stars Colour effects cool blonde colour 15/06/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages cheap, smelled nice, lots more than 3 applications

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no huge noticeable difference

    I recently dyed my hair blonde and purchased the Superdrug cool blonde colour as a back up option in case the colour wasn't bright enough. My colour was a golden blonde with orangey undertones so i thought i would try using the cool blonde colour on it. On the bottle it says to lather on wet hair and leave for 5 minutes, or up to 20 for longer lasting colour.The colour of the dye is a deep purple which i had heard is good for toning brassy blonde hair. I put the colour in my hair and left it on for the full twenty minutes. After the time was up i looked at my hair in the mirror. The purple ... more

    5 Stars Rich Red colour effects 12/05/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, lovely colour, easy to apply, Clean

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Goes permainent if buily t up too long. Turns fingernails orange

    My hair is naturally blonde and a while ago I dyed it red with permanent colour. After a few months I got fed up of re applying it for the roots so I thought I'd try ths stuff to just blend them away. The first time you use it, there isn't a huge amout of difference but if you use it every time you wsh for the first 2 weeks and every other time for the future it will build up. After using this for quite some time I tried to wash it out too see how much permanent coulaer I had left in my hair. But I found that this had become permanent, which I was quite happy with to be honest.... but you have ... more

    4 Stars Warm Chocolate Brown 08/06/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Nice even colour

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Took 30 minutes to have an effect

    I went into Superdrug hoping to dye my medium brown hair darker with a bit of a red tinge to it. I decided I would try a wash in wash out hair dye just to see whether I liked the colour. I chose this because it was cheap and the colour (warm chocolate brown) sounded appealing. I got home and applied it to wet hair for about 15 minutes. It had no effect and so I applied it again for about 30 minutes and used about half of the dye left! When I rinsed out the water it appeared not to have had an effect again but when I dried my hair it came out at a darker brown but with a lot of red tinges in it ... more

    5 Stars Good Stuff! 06/04/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, only 99p for 3 applications!.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Gloopy. Bottle top can sometimes leak. Have to use frequently to get good results.

    I used this frequently on my bleached blonde hair to add cool ash tones. I get shade 8.1 (cool blonde) which after being left on for 10-20 minutes once or twice a week during my hairwashing process, leaves my hair not only with the desired shade highlights (often turning brassy or coppery shades in my hair a lovely ash blonde) but also in great condition. It can be slightly gloopy and messy to apply - deep rich purple/blue thick liquid which can stain bathtub or sink unless quickly washed off but not a big problem. Need to leave it on for about 15 minutes and use frequently to obtain desired ... more

    5 Stars Great to cover a hair dye disaster! 18/05/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, lovely smell and great for covering bad hair dye!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    I had purchased a bottle of Superdrug Colour Effects in Rich Warm Brown. I hadn't used it until last weekend when I had a very unfortunate dye disaster (please take into consideration I refrained from using the bad pun 'Dye-lemma'!!) with Clairol Perfect 10 - which I will write a review on once it is put on here. Anyway, after dying my hair my roots were left a very horrible shade, which I don't think was even a proper colour and there is no way to describe it. I found the bottle of Colour Effects a couple of days later, applied it to my hair and I must admit it was a saviour! It made my roots ... more
