Garnier Hair Color Sensation Rich Long-Lasting Color Cream, 6.3 Light Golde

The coloring is called Grape Expectations. I really like purple and I like how it makes my hair look.+

Full marks to this lesser-used drugstore brand hair dye. It has achieved more for me than the professional dyes, delivering a shade I hadn’t managed to mix either at home or using a salon colorist.First the good stuff:PROS:- it really does comes out the color you see on the box. That alone is worthy of note.- No transference to pillowcases, towels, or clothes. That one is huge and I buried the lede there.- It fades uniformly and maintains a proportionate pink undertone.CONS:- It fades quite a bit. Granted, all red tones famously tend to do that, and the fading is gradual and not particularly noticeable week to week, but it does fade from a sunset pink to a peach blush. Ideal for me as I was actually searching for a pinkish apricot shade.Photos show the color both newly dye and after 6 weeks of product and heat styling.

Ever since my beloved Vidal Sasson London Luxe "Runway Red" has gone on the endangered list, I've been searching for a new deep but vibrant red that also covered grays. There have been some absolute failures, even with hair colors others swore by (lookin' at you, Revlon Colorsilk), and I was starting to think I'd have to pay Ebay prices to get 2 boxes of the remaining supply. But one last try! The color on the box was promising.Y'all. Y'ALL. Look at that color! Also smelled... well, not great, I mean I don't want a bottle of it as perfume or anything, but it didn't burn my nose and there was a lightly fruity scent to it. The only problem I had was with the width of the tip on the distributor bottle. It was VERY narrow and hardly any came out. Given how thick my hair was, treating my roots alone would've taken an hour. I just used scissors to cut lower down to a wider part, and it worked fine. I assume this was because they included a little brush that you're supposed to use on your roots? Uh, look at my hair. Unless I want to be there all night separating sections and painting, naw brah. I just squirt it on and rub it around.Other than that, there were no surprises. If you've ever colored your hair red before, you know the drill. Looks like a murder scene yadda yadda, comes off on the pillow cases blah blah blah. I cannot wait to see how this color ages. As it stands, absolutely recommended. No reservations.FYI, I do put my hair in a plastic cap and then wrap it in a towel to lock in some heat, and I always leave it on a bit longer than manufacturer recommendations (in this case, 30 minutes instead of 25).

Love this color. So disappointed it has been discontinued. I refuse to buy the last few boxes at 3x the price. Searching for a replacement.

Received the item in torn apart package.

I bought this to refresh my already purple hair and it completely stripped my hair. There is a diagram on the box of what it will look like on processed hair but that can't be accurate. I have never in my ten plus years of coloring my own hair had this happen. It completely stripped out the purple and neutralized my hair so it not only was a waste of time but of money. I had to go get a different purple and spend another hour dying my hair but as it neutralized my hair my purple isn't as vibrant. It is going to take multiple refreshing to get my purple back so in the end this product cost me far more than $4. Now, I realize it is partially my fault for buying cheap dye but this box also has false advertising. I do take partial responsibility but it should also be advertised as having some kind of lightener in it. I got a no bleach needed kit for a reason. Again, do nor use on processed hair.

It does fade a tad with each wash. Purple seems to be a difficult color to maintain. It starts out dark & is gorgeous. Even when a month has gone by it's still a great color.

I originally had joined the “granny hair” fad but the up keep was totally hell. Mind you I have 3c/4a natural hair.After my last attempt and fail of a routine bleaching and toning process for my grey hair look, I ended up going from an orange blonde to finally just giving up and dying my hair a light brown.....Why am I telling you all this... I just want you to get an idea of what the heck I put my hair through before using this product.After dying my hair brown, I then did my deep conditioning hair mask as well as a trim.I was too sure how this color was going to turn out. I had considered using the Féria Grunge teal since it had grey under tones but I saw this gem and for the price I was like why not.It first came out like a dark blue jean but it does lighten after a bit after about 3/4 washes. Which I don’t mind at all especially on my short natural hair.This product did not and has not dried my hair out at all. It definitely fits me and my personality. I have also had received many compliments. This color really adds something to my curly short locs. Even as it fades (It’s like a teal/blueish jean like color now.)Love th fact it came in three:)
