Advanced Cosmetic Technologies Natural Hair Color

by Little Annie
(Ma.)

I have been trying to find an all natural hair color that will add shine and cover a few grays. Henna was very messy to apply and rinse off and it didn't cover any gray, so I decided to try Advanced Cosmetic's "permanent hair color". It was much easier to apply, but nearly impossible to rinse out. The directions tell you to rinse until the water runs clear. I did that, several times and there is still product stuck in my hair. I have washed it out 5 times using a comb to try to rake it through. It may be more difficult for me because I have curly hair, but after 5 washes, it is still not completely out. My hair feels stiff and straw like. I do not recommend this product.

Love it!
by: Anonymous

I have been using this product for quite a while now and I love it. I use one of the darker colors but not the darkest by any means and it comes out perfectly. I've never had any problem with rinsing the color out during the whole process and my hair feels so good after coloring with it. It lasts me like a month and a half and then my roots start showing and I redo it. It works great for me and I've been a chemical hair dye user for the better part of 15 years and will never go back.

Don't Buy Act Naturals
by: Sarah Michel

I tried Act Naturals permanent colour because I don't want to dump Clairol and L'Oreal chemicals on my head. But the stuff was terrible. In spite of the Stain Guard they give you, it makes an awful mess. Nor does it rinse out. I stood under the shower for over 20 minutes and when I toweled my hair, the stuff came off on the towel. It didn't cover the grey, either. I would NEVER buy this product again or recommend it to anyone. It's messy, time-consuming and it doesn't work, even if you follow the instructions to the letter, as I did.

DO NOT BUY
by: Crystal

Very messy to apply. Left purple stains on my scalp. I bought the light brown color and it turned my hair BLACK! Very black. This stuff made my hair feel very stiff. It is very difficult to rinse out. i had to wash my hair with shampoo 5 times to get the water to rinse through my hair clear. My bath tub was stained purple. It came off after lots of scrubbing. My main complaint though is that my hair came out black. So I went to the store and bought a box of feria to lighten it since 5 shampoos didnt lighten it at all and I am not walking around with black hair when I wanted light brown. I won't be buying this again!

I do not understand the comments above

My experience is the opposite. I have been using it for 3 months and I am very pleased. The application instructions are differant and may need to be clarified. I found the staff very helpful in this respect. The color was easy to wash out with vinegar if needed. Much better than Henna. My allergies went away. I am so pleased with the result.

NASTIEST EVER
by: Anonymous

This left my scalp orange and black, my hair like straw, and it didn't cover the gray... and the worst part - after a week and 5 shampoos - when my hair is wet it still SMELLS HORRIBLE. I was really hoping this was going to be a good one but the search continues

Awful Product
by: Jen

I had the exact same experience. And it stains your scalp. So your scalp (in my case w/medium brown), looks like I took a Sharpie to it. And the texture is freakishly weird. It's like my hair's been drenched in caramel and this is the best I could do to get it out. AND the main thing...did not even cover my grays (I'm only 15 percent) even though I followed the special instructions. Avoid at all costs.
