COLORSILK # 20 BROWN/BLACK Size: ~

 (26 customer reviews)

I've had black/blue-black hair for a while now, and have become somewhat of an expert in the field of cheap-o boxed drugstore hair color. I keep coming back to this color! I was suspicious at first to be honest because its SO cheap, I figured my hair would fall out or turn an ugly color... but I tried it anyway. I have long, super thick hair but there was enough dye to get everything - no streaks. It lasts the longest out of any boxed hair color I've tried and it looks SO good!
OK, yeah, it comes with cheap crappy gloves and the world's smallest packet of conditioner, but those are minor issues. You can get 50 pairs of latex gloves at rite-aid for 2 bucks (a good idea anyway so you dont have to keep reusing the dirty color-stained gloves from the box) and if you don't already have conditioner to supplement the conditioner in the box, you shouldn't be dying your hair anyway.
The only drawback I've experienced is the color DOES run when I wash it and I have definitely stained...Read more

I always color my hair on my own and only color it every 6 months or so just to shake things up. I let the color fade on its own and go back to my original color. Most of the dyes I've used last 4 weeks easily and many last 6 weeks. I bought this one because it was super cheap. It takes a lot longer than most other dyes (25 minutes vs 10 minutes for many dyes). I colored my hair on March 6th and here it is March 20th and the color looked great right off the bat but the color has almost completely faded. I am using a shampoo and conditioner for color-treated hair, I do NOT blow dry my hair and I am not in the sun very much. I am disappointed with how quickly this faded and I think next time I'll just buy for quality vs price.

I tried this color for the first time last month and loved it! It covered my considerable gray and is keeping it colored, without much fading. The conditioner that comes with it is wonderful to moistureize the hair, leaving it shiney and manageable. It did however turn out lighter than the box shows but not by much. I am totally satisfied with the Revlon hair color.
