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
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

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...

Hair Type Wavy Hair
I have tried many at home hair coloring and never had success with them. Coverage for my greys is outstanding. Color doesn't dull between applications. This brand is the best! Online support and the ability to buy when needed. I won't use anything else

Neutral = GOLDEN
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I was looking to go back to my natural color of a light neutral brown after having summer highlights. I know that cool tones can pull green on my hair and I didn't want any gold, brassy tones so I went with a neutral color. I also know that most hair dyes I have used in the past pulled darker on me than the box shows, so I mixed the light neutral brown with the dark neutral blonde for a custom shade. What I ended up with is a medium brassy golden brown. Looks like clarifying shampoo and blue/purple toner are in my future.
Great product
Hair Type Straight Hair
This hair color gives consistent and complete gray coverage. I find the color on the box is a true example of what the end product ends up being.
Wonderful Color
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I switched to Madison hair color because L'Oréal stopped carrying my color. Best decision I love how easy it is to do this at home. You get a great color with easy results. If you haven't used this product before and you color your hair at home. You won't be disappointed.
Didn't turn out good
It didn't dry my hair like other box dyes, so that was the high point. The color came nowhere close to box. I have light brown hair with bleached ends and bought the sardinia red. It turned all of my hair darker. Some pieces grabbed the tiniest bit of red but nothing like as pictured. I will not buy again especially at this products price point.
