A Few Pro Tips Before You Color: Your hair doesn't need to be squeaky-clean, but it should definitely be free of heavy styling products. (They can coat the hair and block the color from working to its maximum.) Hair color and activator should be at room temperature before mixing. Love your linens? Feel free to use a darker towel and pillowcase after the first couple of washes to keep them protected from any color transfer. If your hair is chemically straightened, relaxed, or permed, we recommend waiting two weeks to color after your last chemical treatment.

- Q
Does the Silver Steel have blue in it so that it could turn my hair blue? I'm almost a year into growing out my gray hair, but have some lowlights as part of a gray blend. I want to diminish brassiness and brighten up the silver, but do NOT want to look purple or blue.
- Asked by JCS
- Official Answer By Madison Reed - SyndicationIt will have blue undertones. We recommend trying one of our Toning Glazes or Color Therapy Masks to help with unwanted brassy tones. Take a look at the Crema Gloss, Perla Mask and Sorrento Cool Vanilla Toning Glaze.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can I use this over already color treated hair (permanent color, Madison Reed)?
- Asked by Hudson
- Official Answer By Madison Reed - SyndicationYes, this can be applied over color treated hair to help refresh or change the tone.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Will this dye completely wash out over time or is it a grow out situation? I'm thinking of covering gray, but I'm still about 85% brunette. I've never dyed my hair before.
- Asked by Elsa
- Official Answer By Madison Reed - SyndicationHello! This product will generally shampoo out, though the results can vary depending on your hair’s condition. On more porous or fine hair types, it may leave a visible line of demarcation as the hair grows out.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
How often can I reapply the hair dye if I wash my hair 2-3 times a week? The last time I used the box was 3 weeks ago and I feel like it has already faded. Do I have to wait longer to prevent damage?
- Asked by Serena
- Official Answer By Madison Reed - SyndicationYou can color every three weeks. We do recommend applying to new growth for the full processing time and pulling through your ends the last 10 minutes instead of the full processing time.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q

- Asked by Adela
- Official Answer By Madison Reed - SyndicationHello! What may correct the color depends on the exact tones exposed, we recommend consulting with an in-store team member for the best possible recommendation.Was this answer helpful to you

- Asked by Chelsea Burns
- Official Answer By Madison Reed - SyndicationColorWonder is our vibrant demi-permanent hair color for an instant vibe shift.

- Q
Will this make my hair oily or greasy like a gloss or glaze? I have very fine, thin, and oily hair.
- Asked by Hiltop
- Official Answer By Madison Reed - SyndicationHello! The ColorWonder is demi-permanent, so sits on the outside of the strand. We do recommend strand testing, prior to all over coloring, to ensure you are happy with the results.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can you mix only half of the product and then mix the other half the next time you need it?
- Asked by rinx
- Official Answer By Madison Reed - SyndicationWe do not suggest mixing in small portions as this may affect end-results. It’s imperative to your results that enough product is used to fully saturate your strands. If you do mix smaller portions, we strongly suggest using a kitchen scale to get accurate measurements. It is important to make sure to cap the remaining product separately and air-tight for future uses. Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
For male hair 5 inches long, how many treatments can I get out of one purchase? Can you confirm this last 60 days if I wash on alternate days?
- Asked by ALBERT
- Official Answer By Madison Reed - SyndicationIf you have really thick hair you may want to use two to start. However, 5 inches and a average amount of hair, one kit will work. This is designed to gradually fade over time and it will fade faster the more it is shampooed. We recommend a color protecting shampoo and conditioner as well as washing your hair in tepid water.Was this answer helpful to you

This makes going grey a game changer!
This year I made the decision to grow out my greys. It started with putting my MR subscription on hold for 3 months. Then a few weeks ago I saw my stylist to have all of the color past my new grow out bleached. Over the past two weeks I've been getting used to it being blond but really just wanted t...

Left hair falling out in clumps and came out jet black when it was supposed to be a medium brown. Would not repurchase again.
great

This is a great in between hair color...just wish you could portion it out so you don't waste any ....maybe two applications that could be combined if you need more.
Love this product, sticking to it
Bought That Mocha Mojo to match my natural dark brown haircolor. Have a lot of grays at the crown, natural dark brown, and bleached hair at the bottom I have been trying to grow out. This brought it all together perfectly. It covered the grays way better than expected— box says about 25% coverage, I say mine was 100%. I'm at the beginning of my third week, I wash my hair every other day and so far color is holding up like new. Kind of amazed it's not permanent color. Wish I had bought more when it was on sale!
Red is barely showing through
Reviewed at
I barely see red and I followed directions to a T. I had lighter brown hair to start with but I definitely thought I would see more of a change than I do.
Bombshell!
Reviewed at
It is fantastic! Went on quickly. Covered gray mush more than expected. Nearly full coverage. My hair has a new refreshed color and it was simple. Can't wait to see how long it will last but honestly it's worth it for a refresh if you're in a hurry. I will definitely start using this as part of my routine. I cycle through permanent, root service and now Color Wonder.
