Nice 'n' Easy Perfect 10 hair colourant really does what it says on the bottle and, as someone who has been colouring my hair for many years, I can honestly say that this is the easiest permanent hair colour which I have ever applied to my coarse, silvering hair. The product retails around the £6.99 mark, but I bought mine in colour No. 6 - Chocolate Brown - in Superdrug, where it was on offer for £3.99. At that price it is worth buying a couple, so you can touch up your roots later and save a few pounds.

Application: What I liked about this product was the fact that it comes with a built-in comb which you attach to the application bottle. There is also a large tube of conditioner included in the box, with enough conditioning treatments to last for approximately 6 weeks. Once the colour is mixed with the developer, attach the comb to the top of the prepared product and it is easy as abc to apply the colour evenly through the hair. I managed to colour all my grey (even the little wispy bits in my fringe and around my ears. I timed the colouring process for the exact 10 minutes and, once rinsed off, conditioned, and dried, I was left with lovely golden, brown locks, with a hint of chocolate which warms my fair complexion nicely. It left my hair shiny and soft.

Likes: The multi-tonal quality of the colour. Ease of application with the built-in comb, and the end result - a lovely shade which is well suited to fair skins.

Dislike: The smell! Whilst working, this product had the usual strong ammonia smell. I am glad I only had to bear this for 10 minutes! Also, there were a few drips - I would have preferred a more mousse-like consistency.

Overall: A great product, especially for first-time home hair colourers.
