Cosamo Non Permanent Hair Color, Ash Brown, Medium

I started using this color when Clairol stopped making "Loving Care" temporary hair color which I had used for 40 years (long before gray hairs). The color is good but it doesn't last nearly as long as Loving Care. So I finally had to break down and have my hair stylist apply a professional color that lasts 6 months. Unfortunately with my sensitive hair, that damages it and causes breakage but is a necessary evil I guess if I don't want a head full of gray hair. Unfortunately with Covid, going to the stylist is out. So I started buying this because I was tired of seeing all the gray that had appeared since my January visit to the stylist 5 months ago. It still only lasts about 4 shampoos but it makes my hair shiny and doesn't damage it. I'm trying now to see if I can stretch a bottle by just applying it to the roots. It's a little messier than the Loving Care foam but the same as the Loving Care liquid. I hope they never stop making it. It is also one of the few things that hasn't triple in price since Covid. A blessing.

My hair grows fast enough that I have to apply color to my roots every week and a half or so. I hesitate to use a permanent or even demi-permanent hair color because I have to apply it so often and all of them have chemicals that are considered fairly toxic by EWG's skin deep. I used to use the Surya Brazil henna cream but it fades so brassy no matter what color I choose! I'm so happy I found this in the medium ash brown. I just apply it once every week and a half to my roots only and it slowly fades out to a nice ashy brownish champagne color as my hair grows. I like to buy it in bulk on their website. I also use one of those $15 heat caps that work with your hair dryer for 10 minutes over the plastic wrap they provide. It really does the trick!

The color turned out fine but what you go through is not worth it. The stuff is extremely messy. It goes all over the place. It is liquid so it tends to drip. And if you get it on you it is hard to get off. While rinsing it, it went all over my shower curtain and walls. I have never had a coloring this bad. Stay away.

This product did not work for me. I guess my gray is not easy to cover.

As a gentleman who has had facial hair for most of the past 20 years, it was distressing to me when my beard starting going gray. It was definitely adding years to my apparent age.Tried the "Just for Men" coloring, which worked, but after a few colorings, it starting burning my skin. The redness and itchiness didn't fully go away for months after my last use.Looking for a milder alternative, I tried out a Henna product. It definitely colored the hair with no physical side effects -- unfortunately that color turned out to be a moss green. Had to shave it all off.Was going to give up and just live with being clean shaven (after a brief stint sporting just a 'stache) until I starting reading up on alternatives.Found this stuff, and have been using it for the last 6 weeks or so. Now, it does wash out much faster than permanent coloring (if I shampoo my facial hair regularly, the application will last about a week before needing to be reapplied). But since I'm not using a whole lot of it at a time, and because application is essentially one step, it's still economical and efficient to use.I've noticed no itching or burning since use -- will update if that changes, but after 4-5 applications, no problems.

I purchased this product to replace Clairol's Loving Care. It initially covered the gray, but it seems to begin to come out within a week or so, especially around the hairline. Of course, it depends on how much gray one has, but until I find a replacement, I'll probably continue to use this, as it didn't damage my hair. Am wondering about Clairol's Beautiful, but haven't tried it.

I was looking for Loving Care from Clairol for many years...but sadly they discontinued it. Now I found a great product that is great for touch ups on sides forehead and anywhere you are are starting to turn gray. It is easy to use and covers those darn grays that keep re appearing in between coloring. Saves a lot of money and is not harsh like the other touch up kits on the market now. My hair is thinning and I am afraid to use products with ammonia or peroxide. Give it a try. The bottle lasts for a long time since you are not mixing it with anything.
