Love the new Perfect 10 haircolor. It reallly covers my grey and leaves my hair in great condition and it's so fast. I do have to say that I have not been able to find
it in a lot of the stores yet and also the ones that do carry it don't seem to carry the full range of colours. I'm sure as people start to use it more, that will change.
Here's my take on Perfect 10 hair colour. I live in the UK & purchased 2 packs of "dark brown Perfect 10" as I have thick, naturally curly, long (past shoulder
length) hair. I mixed up both bottles & placed the comb applicator on one bottle & the usual nozzle on the other bottle. I had around an inch of grey root around the frame of my face
& used the "nozzle" applicator to apply the colour. I then changed to the comb applicator & followed my hair from root to tip working from the sides first. As I started to apply the
colour (with the comb) my hair started to get knotty (my hair's thick curly & long remember). So I took a little more time around the back of my head. I then decided to tip my head forward so
I could apply all the colour evenly (again my hair knotted). When I lifted my head back up, I was horrified to see that my lovely white, tranquil bathroom, was now a dark brown splattered mess!!!
My vanity unit was splattered, my ceiling was splattered & my toilet seat & cistern splattered!!!! So, I was now in a quandary of what I should do? Should I rinse the colour off (it was
now 15 minutes - 5 minutes over the said time) or should I attempt to remove the dye? I chose the latter.....& made it worse! The colour spread, revealing a lighter brown "cloud effect" from
where I had rubbed. The vanity unit still had the splatter marks, as for the ceiling - I couldn't reach it, so I decided to rinse my hair! The colour took what seemed a lifetime to rinse out, the
conditioner had a coconut/almond fragrance (I needed more that the recommended amount (size of a 10p coin) to cover my hair. So, I decided to keep the conditioner on my hair, while I went out to
get the step ladders from the garage to remove the colour from the ceiling! No chance of removing it either - so it looks like a total paint jobs needed on the bathroom, I also need a new toilet
seat & vanity unit top! I'm guessing in years to come, I'll laugh about it! lol I also called my husband, he laughed when I said the bathroom looks as though there's been a massacre.
Apparently, I'm not to worry & he'll re-decorate the bathroom this weekend. So, after rinsing the conditioner off my hair (& giving it a blast of cold water to seal the cuticle) I've now
straightened my hair & I can say that it is a lovely dark brown colour, with no grey roots - they've all disappeared! My hairs very shiny, silky & very soft (maybe it's also due to me
leaving the conditioner on for around 30 minutes). Pro's - My grey roots were covered within 15 minutes Loved the comb applicator Conditioner was great Very reasonable price (£9.58 for 2 packs)
Con's - Mixture is too runny for my liking, resulted in a massacred bathroom of colour splattered walls, ceiling, vanity unit & seat. Would I use again? I guess I will, although, I will
probably use the comb applicator for my roots only & the nozzle applicator for the mid lengths & ends, then massage the colour into my hair - I don't mind a little colour on my scalp
(even if I do look like a "Lego man") I'd rather have the colour on my scalp than my bathroom! lol. I'd say this product is ideal for short hair users, it would be a breeze to apply. Mid-length
hair users may also be fine using it. Curly, thick & long hair users - you have been warned!!!
