A nice result but is it really that easy?

Advantages: excellent colour
Disadvantages: Quite hard to make sure youve applied it to all areas.

...I have recently gone from blonde back to my natural colour and my hairdresser told me that despite putting a permanent brown on top of the blonde, it will fade and I would need to go back and keep having semi permanent dye on it to build up the pigment. Now I am trying to save a few pennies at the moment so decided to give it a go myself. I kept putting it off and putting it off until my hair got to the point where it looked quite gingery. It was only by chance that I was looking at the reduced aisle in Tesco and saw a box of this ?Nice and Easy? hair dye for just £1.80. I know nothing about the ?good and bad? of hair dye so thought this was probably as good as any. In the box I got two bottles of dye which were suppose to be mixed together and shaken and then applied to the hair immediately. I also got a big pouch of conditioner...

Review of Clairol Nice 'n Easy

It really is Nice'n easy.

Advantages: Good even multi-tonal hair colour.
Disadvantages: Just the clearing up after.

...I have used Clairol Nice'n easy permanent hair colour for at least 20 years and have been highly satisfied each and every time with the outcome. Having a daughter hairdresser, I can always get a good cut and the only job left for me to do is to hide the ever increasing grey. A spare 30 minutes can usually be found every 5-6 weeks to apply the colour. The range of colours is vast starting at somewhere around No.96 which is the lightest blonde and going through the range to Blue/black. I use 101 which is Natural Baby Blonde and now that Clairol have incorporated blends into the colour to give a multi-tonal look, I feel that my own natural hair colour is in there somewhere.! The complete kit retails for around £4.75, but look out for offers and sometimes they can be ,Buy one Get one free, if you are lucky enough to spot them. The box is...

Review of Clairol Nice 'n Easy

Nice n' Easy Or Nice n' Messy

Advantages: Easy, just as it implies.
Disadvantages: Cheap plastic gloves, not enough conditioner

...It was time to colour my roots again today, oh come on, I’m 42 and going grey, I can’t help it - that’s life! Anyway, walking down my local supermarket aisle, I realised they did not have my usual colour of the brand I use, in stock. I usually use L’Oreal Excellence, and the colour called Natural Brown. They were offering 50p off the product too. Drat, I thought. No way was I going to use Dark Brown, that is too dark, almost black. I scanned the other products and spotted Nice n’ Easy. I had used it before, quite a while back, so I looked to see if they had my colour. Medium Brown. That will do, I thought and put it in my trolley. It was £4.49, which wasn’t bad, in fact, cheaper than my usual brand. The box contains a 60ml bottle of colourant, a 60ml bottle of developer, a 12ml sachet...

Naturally Nice 'n' Easy

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

...I have been colouring my hair for years. My natural colour is mousy brown and it is very boring. My hair has been all different colours including blonde and I have used many different brands of hair colour. The colour I always end up going back to is red 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 a model on the front with hair colour for that shade. So it is easy to see what the colour is likely to be. Each colour is clearly marked...

Review of Clairol Nice 'n Easy

Nice n easy doesnt smell too nice...

Advantages: Normally gives you the desired colour
Disadvantages: Makes hair feel dry and smells pretty horrid

...Well, i've been using nice n easy for a while now. It normally gets me the colour i want and yes, likem it says on the label, its nice and easy to use. However its not so nice to smell, and i often find that after having the stuff on my head for half an hour, my nostrils and throat literally start burning for the chemicals! Which surely, cant be good for my hair. I've gotten out of the habit of using it quite as much as i used to now, due to the fact im pretty sure it frazzles my hair every time i use it. Sure, it does colour my hair fairly well, but geez, is getting the colour you want really as important as keeping your hair healthy? I recently dyed my hair a light brown colour, having dark brown hair. I looked on the label to make sure there would be no unexpected, nasty side affects, and it clearly showed that i would end up...

Review of Clairol Nice 'n Easy

Nice'neasy? You bet it is.

Advantages: Great colour, Soft hair, Inexpensive, Easy to use.
Disadvantages: None I've found.

...This is one of the easiest hair dyes I have ever used. It comes in a wide range of colours, in fact far too many to list. < Packaging> It comes in a no nonsense white box, with the name Clairol on the top and the colour code in the right hand corner.( I chose 118c which is Natural Medium Chestnut Brown as this is the nearest to my colour). There is a womans head shot and the words nice'neasy below that. On the side is the usual safety warnings about allergies etc, and the warning that it is not to be used on Children. On the opposite side is colour charts showing how your hair should look. <Inside the Box> Inside the box you will find a blue bottle containing you colour formula (60ml), Colour activating creme in a white bottle (60 ml) and a brown tube of colour seal gloss conditioner in a brown tube (57 ml). A pair...

Review of Clairol Nice 'n Easy

Nice-N Easy It Sure Is!!

Advantages: Perfect coverge & ease of use
Disadvantages: stains your head

...I am reviewing the Nice -N - Easy Natural Black (No.122) permanent hair dye by Clairol, which can be bought in various well known and not so well known high street chemists, as well as most online chemists. There is a place online where you can even get this stuff for as little as £1.99 instead of the usual £4.99 and that place is www.pharmacyathand.co.uk (price depends on colour required). I have to say that the box of this product seems to be aimed more at older ladies who wish to cover grey, but i'm only 24 and with no grey hair I still think this stuff is great. In other words I think they need to make the box more upbeat and modern, go with the times as they say, but then if it works why change!? The box contains: * Gloves (finally updated to proper rubbery ones) * Instructions * The Colourant * The Cream Mixer...

New Hair is Nice 'n' Easy

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

...While doing the weekly shop at Asda on a Friday morning, my friend decided to try another hair colour. Not having coloured my hair for about four years, and being bored with mouse-brown (my natural colour) I also picked up a pack of hair dye. After a few minutes wrangling over what colour to go for, 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 if you're planning on changing your look dramatically, so unless you can afford...

Review of Clairol Nice 'n Easy

  Nice, mon paradis!

Advantages: Short cheap flight, sun, food, scenery, nice people, city AND beach
Disadvantages: Pricey, have to risk life and limb sliding down a minor scree slope into the sea!

...My friend Annette and I both have special birthdays this year and decided we had to do something special to celebrate. Originally we thought of a weekend in Bath but as we didn't want to drive, the train was extortionate and the bus took for ever we looked a bit further afield. Now we have Jet2 from Leeds/Bradford airport, it was simple to look at their website to see where we could go reasonably cheaply. It was down to Prague or Nice; Nice won (could it be the promise of sun and seaside?!) Plus it only cost us about £20 each more than Bath believe it or not! TRAVEL The flight was easy to book and went without a hitch although it meant an early start for the 7am plane. There is 1 flight a day from Leeds/Bradford in the season and there appear to be plenty of easyjet flights and various others from several UK airport. It only...
