ClairolNatural Instincts Sandalwood 1 Count Dark Cool Blonde

This is the only all-over color that I will use. I have been using this stuff for years to cover greys, and it works amazing for that. IT WILL NOT LIGHTEN YOUR HAIR. There's no peroxide in it. If you have dark hair, and you put this color on it, you will see zero change. If you are wanting to lighten your hair, you have to use a permanent color. If you are looking to tone highlights or cover greys, then this stuff is for you! My natural hair color is very dark brown, and I put some highlights in, which, OF COURSE, turned orange. I used this to tone it down. It didn't completely remove the orange, but enough that it looks pretty good. When I'm covering greys, I use Light Cool Brown...natural highlights!

This blends grey hair pretty good. The key word is "blends". My bangs and temples are almost completely grey. It turns the hair in this area a light blonde beige color. The grey on the rest of my head looks like highlights. It doesn't seem to completely wash out after 30 days. The grey hair keeps just a tiny bit of color. There is only a very, very slight root line. I don't think anyone would ever notice it though.

The items in the box were not as shown on the outside of the box. I started applying the color and it was turning very red. Fortunately, I was able to wash it out before it set. I have bought this color and brand from local stores off and on for years with no problem.

I love the conditioner that comes with this package, It is a permanent color, and I don't like to use anything even semi-permanent. It was not made clear in listing.

works great
