At-home hair colour just got a natural makeover and it’s never looked so good

Here’s what our Review Crew® had to say about this ammonia-free box dye
The product
Looking to update your hair colour but a bit hesitant to reach for regular box dyes? Clairol’s latest at-home offering boasts an 80 per cent naturally derived formula that’s big on colour impact and staying power.
Introducing: Clairol Natural Instincts, a semi-permanent hair colour formulated to enhance the natural colour of the hair and seamlessly blend away the first signs of greys. The natural formula includes nourishing coconut oil and aloe vera, and is free from ammonia, PPD and added parabens. It’s ideal for enhancing natural colour and boosting shine without the commitment of permanent colour.
Our panel of Review Crew® testers put this ammonia-free colour to the test.

The lowdown
Here’s what the Review Crew® loved about Clairol Natural Instincts.
The opaque finish: Our members were impressed by the intense colour payoff they were able to achieve at home using Natural Instincts, with one reviewer even saying, “I love the colour....so beautiful and vibrant.”
The 80% natural formula: Reviewers loved the fact that the box dye didn’t contain as many chemicals as your average at-home formula - containing a whopping 80 per cent naturally-derived ingredients.
No bad smells: Members were surprised that the box dye didn’t have the same off-putting smell as other at-home hair dyes they had tried previously, “the dye itself has a really inoffensive fresh smell and as it doesn't contain ammonia, it has none of that breath-stealing fumes.”
