Advantages: cheap, smells nice, great colour result

Disadvantages: you do it yourself at home

I love dying my hair. I hve had a lot of disasters and some great results too. This one fits into the latter category.
I never thought I would use an own - brand, having been a loyal follower of loreal and schwarzcopf, but one day the cost of colouring my long hair (always needed 2 packs) came into play.
At around £3, which is half the price of most other colourants, I decided to take the plunge. My choice of colour was the Black 2.0 at first.
My hair is naturally dark brown mostly, with dark blonde bits above my temples and a few extra grey hairs thrown in for good measure (I'm only 24 though)
I had roots showing and the previous dye was fading. The superdrug dye is runnier than others, and at first I was worried it would make the result blotchy - but in actual fact the runniness helps the dye spread more evenly. I left in on for half an hour.
The dye had a pleasant smell as far as dyes go - not overly overpowering, and there is a nice big tube of conditioner for afterwards which smells really nice and fruity and leaves the hair lovely and soft.
The end result was nice black hair - greys were covered, hair felt and smelled lovely. There was a subtle blue tone to this black shade, which gave more depth to the result.
The hair colour definately wont fade inbetween root touch-ups, as I have found with others which claim to be permanent.

I have also lightened my hair slightly and used the 3.0 darkest rich brown colour which worked better for my complexion, again this was a good colouring experience and I am very very happy with the result. The great thing bout the colour 3.0 is that it works with pale skin tones and is still great when I got a tan. It is one of those colours which creates a glossy effect - simply superb.

Summary: I don't think you can get better for this price
