Brown Black and Dark Brown
(+) Ammonia Free
(+) Inexpensive
(+) Nice looking colors
(-)Not much conditioner included
(-)Cheap gloves
This is pretty good for the price. And ammonia free means it doesn't smell terrible. It's also supposed to be less damaging for hair, but I find that all dyes dry out hair a little. The conditioner is good, but you only get enough for one or two treatments. My hair would dry out when I used average conditioner, so buying a good quality conditioner is necessary. Also be careful with the gloves. They are thin and have seams that tear easily. Once I had 2 of my fingernails dyed black. If you don't have a lot of gray hair you could try Natural Instincts (non-permanent, ammonia free). It has better gloves and more conditioner, but is also more expensive.
***UPDATE: I've been researching product ingredients lately using the Skin Deep Cosmetic Safety Database & the ingredients for this are pretty terrible. Colorsilk is rated a 9-HIGH hazard on a scale of 0-10. This may work alright, but I no longer recommend it to anyone. One ingredient is even listed as a "possible mutagen" (P-Aminophenol). Other common toxic dye ingredients are: p-Phenylenediamine (PPD), Hydrogen peroxide, Ammonia, P or M-Aminophenol, Resorcinol---all have Cancer risk according to the Cosmetic Safety Database---Fragrance & Parabens are also common undesirables. Colorsilk has all of these except for Ammonia. Few hair dyes are toxin free but here are some that have fewer chemicals than Colorsilk & more natural plant ingredients. Prices listed are average, not only based on Amazon. All of these companies do Not test on animals (Revlon also does Not conduct animal tests).
