A few tips to help you color with total confidence:
Skin Allergy Test - Madison Reed always recommends you do a sensitivity test before coloring your hair. At least 48 hours beforehand, mix 1 part Radiant Cream Color (a small squeeze) with 1.5 parts Conditioning Color Activator (a few drops). Use a cotton swab to apply a quarter-sized amount to a small patch of skin behind your ear or inside your elbow. Keep dry. Wait 48 hours. If there is no sign of change to the area, then you're ready to color. Always consult your physician if you have questions or concerns. If you've had a sensitivity to hair color in the past, you may be more likely to have a reaction.
Please see the instructions included in your Radiant Hair Color kit for the best application to achieve your desired results.
Tips and tricks from the experts - Wear a shirt or smock that buttons or zips up the front to make cleanup easy. Begin with dry, unwashed hair. The day after your last shampoo is best for coloring. Make sure hair is free of styling products as they coat hair and may block the color.
Total Color Processing Time = 35 minutes (or 45 minutes for maximum gray coverage)

- Q
Does this product eventually fade out of hair slightly or is it fully permanent?
- Asked by Lauren
- Official Answer By Madison Reed - SyndicationMadison Reed Radiant Cream Color is a permanent hair color line. Although all permanent hair color fades over time, giving the appearance of color leaving the hair, it actually still lives in the hair strand until completely grown out. To help increase color longevity of your color and fight fade, we suggest using a color-safe, color locking shampoo and conditioner.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Hello, I use Dorsolo brown every 4 wks. At my temples and near my bangs the color is darker paradoxical to the grey new growth. Like it is soaking up color from on the grey roots. I use a bowl and brush and try to only put product on the greys. Anything else I could do? Should I go a shade lighter? Apply those areas last? Thanks
- Asked by Cjr
- Official Answer By Madison Reed - SyndicationWhat you’re describing is very common with gray hair in those areas. The hair at the temples and bang line is often finer and more porous, which means it can grab and absorb pigment more quickly and more deeply than the surrounding hair. Even though the gray itself can be resistant, once it opens, it can take on color very strongly, resulting in those areas looking darker than the rest.Apply those areas last. This is often the most effective adjustment. Complete the rest of your gray application first, then apply to the temples and bang area during the final 10–15 minutes of processing. Use a lighter touch. Even with a brush, try to avoid oversaturating those areas. You can also lightly wipe excess product from the brush before applying. Consider adjusting shade depth. If the darkness continues even with delayed application, going a half to one level lighter for those specific areas can help balance the result. Some guests keep their main shade for overall gray coverage and use a slightly lighter shade just at the temples.Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
I have thick hair, would I need 2 boxes for full coverage?
- Asked by Courtney
- Official Answer By Madison Reed - SyndicationFor the first time if you are coloring roots to ends, you might want to have two to ensure full and even coverage. Then after the initial application you can move to coloring your roots only.Was this answer helpful to you

BEAUTIFUL COLOR - But a bit dark
This color could not be more natural looking. I was previously coloring my hair a light brown/ash blonde and wanted to go a medium/light brown copper red. The preview photos of this color are all very different. I was hoping to turn out on the lighter side, but mine came out pretty dark, but it is o...

Never Again
My color quiz matched me with lighter shades of blonde but I opted for this (it was still one of my matches) because it was darker and I am always afraid of going too light at home. According to the swatch online it did not look too far off of my natural color so I didn't think anything would go wro...

Love the color and the healthy look with Madison Reed
Hair Type Straight Hair
So happy with the results,!
First time use - worked out very well
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I haven't colored my hair in 20 yrs except for root touchup. I researched before buying this product. Worked out better than I thought! I like the results. Easy to apply. I may give it stronger rating when I see how long color lasts.
Not for grays
Hair Type Straight Hair
I followed the directions, and this formula does not cover gray. It was a waste of time. There is a grey coverage formula, so I tried that one and it was much better.
Easy to use, no mess
Hair Type Wavy Hair
Normally when I color my hair at home, I end up with hair dye all over my bathroom. Not with this. It completely covered my grey hair and I had no mess to clean up afterwards.
The Best Box Dye Ever
I've been a devoted black box dye heaux for the last 7 years and I always find myself gravitating back to this one. It has the best kit, post color treatment, color payoff, longevity, and adds a beautiful shine and softness to my hair afterwards. I always feel my best after using this product. It does fade over time just like any other demi/semi permanent product but this one holds up well over multiple washes. I tend to wash 1-2 times a week.
