Really easy to apply any colour to your hair. Just remember to wear an old t-shirt for the job, and use dark coloured towels as a precaution.

Don't rush it, make sure it goes right down to the roots all the way to the tips. Make sure the water runs completely clear when you rinse, and use the conditioner provided.

Hi LadyCutie, yes I have used Nice n easy , it is fine .Are you going darker or lighter? I found I had to leave it on rather longer than they said to cover the grey at temples and don't forget to cover all surfaces because if you accidentally get it on the wall or carpet it will mark...and the towels will also be ruined so use an old one and keep it for that :))

It'll be fine lol, the worst that can happen is that it won't 'take' but no way will it turn your hair green or anything ;) that's the shade I use by the way medium, or 'golden brown' .

hi i use nice n easy its simple to use i always put old towel round me use a little at time and make sure you go down to roots but dont rub it in your scalp just into your hair i leave on about 25 mins think you can leave it up to 45 mins that usually covers my grey well then rinse until water runs clear then use the conditioner and dont forget to use the gloves provided good luck

Don't forget that as it is a wash out one the part of your hair that is grey will take a different colour than the parts that ain't.

If you want and even coverage then you need a permanent dye

i am a bit like you wasnt very sure at first but once youve done it you wonder what all the fuss was about i found it was a bit dark at first but after a couple of washes it lightens

Lady Cutie

Lady Cutie Report 31 Aug 2009 21:44

lol Igee ,
it was only the sides and a bit in the front
cant see the back so couldn't tell you how many
grey hairs i had there .....lolol



Polly Poppet , yes i was worried how it would come out
but it is o.k. it is a bit darker than my normal hair colour
but as you say it will get lighter as i wash it ,,,,
