Why do I constantly switch haircolor products? I’m perfectly happy with the color I got a couple of weeks ago. Well, I know why – because I’m obsessed with trying new things and reviewing them for you, that’s why. Revlon Colorist was the flavor of the day, and here’s the rundown:
I’ve tried a lot of blonde hair colors, and they’re all pretty torturous on the senses. This one was no exception. It itched my scalp and the smell was all burny in my nose. No bueno. The color (#100, Extra Light Natural Blonde) came out pretty though: light but natural-looking, and blended well with my already Pam Anderson-colored ends. (I’m not a bimbo, so stop thinkin’ it. Seriously. I’ll cut you.)
I waited the directed 20 minutes for my color to develop. (By the way, here’s a tip girlies: before you complain about your color results, follow the damn directions. I don’t care if the time seems too long or too short; they test these things before they sell them, so just give them the benefit of the doubt the first time you try a new one, all right?) I rinsed as directed and then noticed a strange new set of directions at the bottom: put on the color glaze after rinsing, wait two minutes and rinse again. What, no conditioner? I was confused, but did as it told me, thinking using conditioner might cloud up the glaze. (See? DIRECTIONS!!) The glaze did seem to pump up the blonde and shine of my color, and my hair dried soft. Still, I wish they’d put some kind of indicator down there to at least ensure me that rinsing my frazzled hair after a Level 10 coloring with no conditioner wouldn’t make it fall out.
The verdict: 3/5 stars – the color’s pretty and the glaze is a nice bonus. The unclear directions and smelly burninating are not. Fix those problems, Revlon, and we’ll be in business, k?
Thank you so much for this review! It was exactly what i was looking for.
Having had a previous nightmare with loreal preference blonde hair dye
(it turned light red on my dirty blonde hair!) this helped a lot.
Oh goodness! Yes, red tones can come out if the color’s too warm. Some of these are so brassy straight out of the box, so blonde is especially hard to color at home.
