REVIEW: CLAIROL NICE N' EASY 122 NATURAL BLACK


So I'm back with a review about Clairol Nice N' Easy in 122 Natural Black. When I'm dying my hair at home I usually go with the Revlon brand of hair color but I thought I would switch it up and try something different.. which I'm extremely glad I did!

PROS:
-Easy application (Normal bottle 1 and bottle 2 that you mix together that you saturate your hair with. I like this application as it's quick and easy).
-Quality gloves (This might sound weird but honestly it makes a huge difference. The gloves were thick and sturdy which is so important as you don't want to stain your hands).
-AMAZING conditioner (The conditioner they provide for use after you wash the dye out is absolutely incredible. They give you a pretty generous sized bottle of it and it makes your hair feel as soft as it does as if you were getting your hair professionally done at the salon. Um, Clairol can you please make this for individual sale?)
-True to color (The color on the box is EXACTLY how my hair actually turned out which is so vital. My hair is naturally dark and this color is a tad darker than my natural hair color).
-Leaves hair shiny (My hair looks super healthy and not flat. It looks healthier now than it did before application).

CONS
-Strong smell (Oh wow did this stuff stink. The smell almost made my eyes water with how potent it was. I guess this is expected as it is a permanent dye).
-Messy (Maybe this is just the fault of the person using it, but I got this stuff EVERYWHERE. All over the sink, floor, my skin, clothes etc. This stuff also stains if you don't clean it up fast enough).

Overall, I'm extremely pleased with how my hair turned out after using this product. I may give an update about lasting power in the future. LOVE! :)
