ONC NATURALCOLORS (5RF Red) 4 fl. oz. (120 mL) Heat Activated Healthier Permanent Hair Dye with Certified Organic Ingredients, Ammonia Free, Vegan Friendly, 100% Gray Coverage

If you've ever experimented with henna hair dye, then you're familiar with the fact that it's permanent and essentially nothing can remove it 100% percent from your hair, and so removing it is a process of growing it out and getting hair cuts. Unfortunately, when you have naturally lighter hair (blondes- med. bruntettes) henna can really have an orange effect on the hair-- especially in sunlight. I've used henna several times on my hair because I was interested in the health and conditioning benefits as well as playing with an auburn hair color. When I was very young my hair was a light-medium auburn color, and became more blonde as I got older and spent a lot of time in the sun. My natural color is a deep blonde to light/medium brown with a slightly red finish. I am very pale with pinkish undertones and although the red henna looked nice for some time in my opinion, then it became too saturated for my skin tone and ended up washing out my light complexion. It was such a bummer to see the red/orange henna against my fresh roots which are a medium ash tone. Some parts of my hair seemed a little more saturated than others, and I was looking for a way to tone down the henna and make my roots blend more nicely with the henna'ed hair when I purchased this product (I wanted to find something a bit more natural, ESPECIALLY because using chemical dye on henna can really bleep up hair). Although ONC is a bit more pricey than many other boxed dyes, I think it's totally worth it. The ingredients are all relatively safe (WAY less harmful than commercial dyes)-- I can't think of the ONC ingredients off of the top of my head since I used this almost a month ago or otherwise I'd go into more detail about them. Important: *The color worked safely over my henna hair, and left my hair feeling conditioned. Also, it made a significant impact on my henna hair because it toned down the brightness of the overall hair and made it more cool-- a completely better look for my light/cool complexion. My roots and the rest of my hair are now the same shade (a medium depth) and the color blended out to be a deep blonde with a reddish tint, which is my natural color. If I did not have henna in my hair, and used the 7C color, then I assume it would've toned my blonde hair to a beautiful deep and cool ash color. In fact, I would consider using this again once my henna is grown out.

Other natural hair colors were causing my hair to fall out due to the ammonia alternative ethanolamine which they use. I have tried every natural or reduced chemical brand under the sun (including henna products) and finally the dermatologist said either stop coloring your hair, or it will keep falling out. I was so excited to find a brand that used heat, not chemicals, to render the color. I liked that they are honest about having a tiny % of PPD instead of lying about. It is te lowest % I have ever found ( under 1% compared to 6, 10 or even more. And NO ethanolamine at all. It was not hard to use. Did the root first, put on the heat cap which I bought from them, then mixed up another small batch to color the ends to even it out. I love the heat cap and have found myself using it for other conditioning treatments as well. It is purchased separately but it is easier than a blow dryer and you can do something else while waiting. It came out great and covered all my very resistant gray. I mixed 5N, 6N and 6C. Next time I might go a little lighter, but, for the first use, I am beyond happy. And NO irritation to my scalp at all. No itchiness, no redness at all. For those of us with a sensitive scalp, this could be the holy grail!

I was actually very impressed with this Irish Red hair color! As you can see in the picture, it’s pretty bright but also fairly close to the model. I am naturally about 35% white and the rest is a level 7/8 strawberry blonde. The white was covered almost completely with this product. I was using Madison Reed but the ethanolamine was irritating my scalp and I was losing a lot of hair. The ONC did not bother me at all. The process is more tedious but the results are worth it. Use a heat cap as you will get an even color that way. The reason I have given this 4 stars is that it’s darker than I’d like and really more of a level 6. I’ll have to mix it with 8n next time to see if I can get it to come out lighter. It is pretty though. This picture is after I washed my hair a few days after coloring it. I highly recommend this for a much less harmful box dye.

I don't understand how ONC NaturalColors can claim their hair dye is organic. Look below to learn of all the chemicals it contains. In the box the following is written: "It's innovative formula contains the healthiest and effective certified organic ingredients with pure benefits. Yes, some of the ingredients contained in ONC NaturalColors are organic, nonetheless the chemicals it contains by far void the organic ingredients. This product is green wash. I used the ONC NaturalColors, it was difficult to mix the hair dye in the ridiculously small plastic cup (had no measurement numbers) included in the box. The plastic hair cap or bonnet included is so cheap it tore when I put it on my head. The plastic gloves are made of very thin cheap plastic, it also broke. Blowing your hair to heat the hair for 20 minutes is very inconvenient. After using the hair dye, shampooing, and conditioning (included in ONC NaturalColors box) my hair was very hard. When I tried to detangal my hair, it was very difficult due to the hardness of my hair. My hair is always soft when using the over the counter inexpensive hair dye (comparing to the expensive 24.99 plus tax ONC NaturalColors. I don't understand how ONC NaturalColors can claim the hair dye is organic. They have a certification, I'm going to research what organization certified them.

I wanted to love this hair color because of it's decent ingredients, but unfortunately, a day after using it my scalp became very, very itchy. I followed all the directions carefully, even doing a sensitivity test (which didn't, for some reason, cause itching). I'm giving it three stars because the color was very nice, my hair was shiny and looked good. I have about 30% gray and it did color most, except for some of the stubborn hairline gray. I've only washed my hair once since coloring, and the color is still all there. It might be fine for someone without any sensitivity, but for me, the itching was awful. I should also mention that it comes with a small packet of shampoo and conditioner. The conditioner has to be left on the hair for five minutes after the final rinsing. The instructions go on to say that the condition must be used after every washing of your hair to insure the durability of the color. The conditioner packet doesn't contain much, and depending on the length and thickness of your hair, won't last much beyond the initial use. If you wash your hair, as I do, a few times a week, you'll be out of condition very soon.

As someone who is admittedly neurotic about her hair and had never dyed it by herself, I was both excited and somewhat anxious to try ONC NaturalColors. Whatever apprehension I had quickly turned to enjoyment after I reviewed the easy to follow instructions and started to mix my colors while becoming pleasantly surprised by its unique texture and fresh fruity smell. I applied the color to my somewhat damaged and stubbornly gray-rooted hair and the results were remarkable! My hair looks healthy now, natural and vibrant. My hair has never looked or felt better…ever. People are still complementing me about how fantastic my hair looks and it is almost time for me to color it again. BTW – The color does not stain and removes easily so the accidental splatters on my face, shoulders and sink wiped away in an instant. Knowing that ONC NaturalColors contain the healthiest and most effective certified organic ingredients with the least amount of chemicals makes me feel much better on the inside as well! Without a doubt, I know that using ONC NaturalColors is the best choice for my hair and its health and will remain a loyal customer for years to come. I highly recommend it everyone!

I just decided to try this brand out yesterday and dye my hair after roughly 2 months of grow out from an old arctic fox red color. I have about 2-3 inches of root grow out that I will say took to the exact color indicated on the box! It worked amazingly well, just be sure to follow the instructions about using the heat cap for your roots if you have pre dyed your hair before. It seems to have made a real difference! I also did the scrub before washing it out fully after the color developed to make sure the color really took. As I just used the product, I came back to update my hair October 7th to report on how long its lasted and so far its stayed better than my drug store hair color! Its beautiful shiny and silky but did take a lot of care to apply the gel hair color. It really made a difference to take the steps included in their booklet. Overall very happy with this product and excited to have found one with better ingredients. 😊 WILL CONTINUE TO BUY!

Bye bye harsh chemicals!! This was highly recommended by my hair dresser friend. I am pregnant and hadn’t done my roots done for about 6 months because of that. Thanks to him I found this natural hair color and I am so happy with the results. I have been using professional hair colors for a long time, this one is the best! I got two boxes and mixed it. Unlike some reviews my results was great! It lightened my hair a little and covered my grays, just like how I wanted and no reddish tone!!( yay!) I followed the instructions precisely. My hair feels healthy and shiny also it doesn’t shed as much since then. I loved the shampoo and conditioner that comes with it, cleans and softens very well and it smells great! I definitely recommend it!
