Extended Product Information

FAQs

How long does Clairol Nice and Easy Tone and Gloss last?

This product provides color and gloss that lasts for up to 28 shampoos, gradually fading with each wash.

Is this product a permanent hair dye?

No, it is a semi-permanent conditioning color. It enhances your natural tone and covers greys temporarily without the long-term commitment of a permanent dye.

Can I use this on hair that has been previously colored with permanent dye?

Yes, it can be used on previously colored hair to refresh the shade, add gloss, and blend greys. Always perform a strand test first to ensure desired results.

Will this product lighten my dark brown hair?

No, this Tone and Gloss product is not designed to lighten hair. It will enhance, deepen, and add shine to your existing dark brown shade while blending greys.

How often can I reapply the Tone and Gloss?

You can reapply as needed when you notice the color fading, typically after 2-4 weeks or once the gloss diminishes. Always ensure your hair is in good condition before reapplication.

Is it safe to use if I have a sensitive scalp?

This product is ammonia-free, which can be gentler for some individuals. However, an allergic reaction is still possible. It is crucial to perform a skin allergy patch test 48 hours before every use, even if you've used hair color before.

What's the difference between 'tone' and 'gloss' in this product?

The 'tone' refers to the subtle color enhancement and grey blending effect it provides, enriching your natural dark brown. The 'gloss' refers to the intense shine and healthy luster it adds to your hair, making it look vibrant.

Troubleshooting

Color appears uneven or patchy.

Ensure hair was evenly towel-dried before application. Distribute the product thoroughly from roots to ends, using a comb to help spread it if needed. For future applications, ensure complete saturation.

Color faded quicker than expected (less than 28 shampoos).

Excessive washing, harsh shampoos (non-sulfate-free), frequent heat styling, or prolonged sun exposure can accelerate fading. Use color-safe products, limit washing, and protect hair from sun/heat.

Hair feels dry or brittle after use.

While conditioning, individual hair types may react differently. Ensure you thoroughly rinse all product out and use a deep conditioning treatment afterwards. Avoid over-processing by adhering to the 20-minute time limit.

Color is too dark or not the expected shade.

The final shade can depend on your hair's initial porosity and existing color. If too dark, try washing with a clarifying shampoo to help gently lift some color. For future use, consider a strand test to adjust timing for a lighter result.

Pros and Cons

  • Effective Grey Blending: Offers good coverage for subtle grey hairs.
  • Gentle on Hair: Ammonia-free formulation minimizes damage and irritation.
  • Adds Shine: Significantly boosts hair's natural luster.
  • Quick & Convenient: Ideal for busy schedules with its 20-minute processing time.
  • Conditions Hair: Leaves hair feeling soft and nourished.
  • Refreshes Color: Perfect for maintaining vibrancy between permanent color applications or simply enhancing natural shades.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Perform a Patch Test: Always conduct a skin allergy test 48 hours before each application, even if you've used hair color before. Apply a small amount of the mixed product to a patch of skin (e.g., behind the ear or inner elbow). Do not wash, cover, or disturb. If you experience any reaction, do not use the product.
  2. Perform a Strand Test (Recommended): For best results, especially if you're unsure about the processing time or final color, apply the product to a small, hidden section of your hair first. This helps determine the perfect timing for your desired shade.
  3. Prepare Your Hair: Ensure your hair is clean and towel-dried (damp, not dripping wet) before application.
  4. Protect Your Skin: Apply petroleum jelly or a barrier cream along your hairline, ears, and neck to prevent staining. Wear old clothes and use the gloves provided in the kit.
  5. Mix the Product: Follow the instructions in the box to mix the colorant and developer. Shake well.

Compatibility

  • Hair Type: Suitable for all hair types.
  • Hair Color: Specifically formulated for natural or previously colored dark brown hair (shade 400/79).
  • Age Group: Intended for adult use.
  • Not Recommended For:
  • Hair that has been bleached, highlighted, or chemically straightened within the last two weeks.
  • Individuals with a known allergy to hair dyes.
  • Hair that is very porous or damaged, as results may be uneven.

Care

  • Rinse Thoroughly: After 20 minutes, rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear.
  • Condition: Apply the conditioning treatment provided (if any) or your regular conditioner to seal the cuticle and enhance shine.
  • Gentle Washing: To prolong color vibrancy, use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners designed for color-treated hair.
  • Cool Water: Wash hair with cooler water, as hot water can strip color faster.
  • Limit Heat Styling: Excessive heat styling can cause color to fade more quickly. Use heat protectants when styling.
  • Avoid Chlorine: Chlorine in pools can alter hair color. Wet your hair and apply a leave-in conditioner before swimming to create a barrier.
