Clairol Herbal Essence Color, Xl0 Blonded By The Light-Cr?me Light Kit (Pack of 3)

This is the best blonde hairdye product I've ever bought. All other blondes turn orange or brassy. This hairdye actually has a packet of bleach that you add in, and that keeps it from turning any other color but bleach blonde. I am so happy with this product. It is VERY hard to find in stores. Only Walmart carries it, and today actually I went to 2 different Walmarts and they were on clearance with none left :( I hope they aren't dis-continueing this because then I'm back to square one trying to find a hairdye that equals up to this one. It works great on my dark brown hair getting it to the blonde that is exactly pictured on the box. Can't believe it's so inexpensive too. People don't believe me that my hair isn't professionally done.

I have used this hair color for years and it is the absolute best! I have dark brown hair and this turns it an extremely light blonde, just like in the picture! I get compliments on it all the time and people are amazed that I do it myself! Recently I have not been able to find it in stores so I tried Revlon and then LOreal colors but neither even came close to the lightness that I get with Herbal Essences. Right now I am waiting for my online order to come in so I can fix what these other products did. It is also not very damaging as it has no ammonia and from what I have experienced it will turn your hair the color that it shows on the box (unlike other brands!!) and is the least damaging for the color it gives. The conditioner is also wonderful. My only advice is that I leave the dye on for about an hour before washing it off which is longer than the directions say to, but my hair looks wonderful afterward and it is still less damaging than other hair dyes.

Color was fine, very shiny, and very similar to the color on the box, minus the highlights--. I was pleased with the color. The only problem is that the developed was "caked?" (I ordered 3 boxes, and, upon checking, all three developer bottles were this way. This is probably because this is a discontinued product.

Even with this the case, the color is lovely, so I do plan to use the other two kits, when I color again.
