Although i have used the three i havent find any great difference in the three except for the price. but still i think Revlon is worth using as it is ammonia free. what's your choice and why?

YEEYYY!!Are you prepared?It will be a long post.For start..I always choose L'Oreal. I would recomand first of all not to dyer your hair yourslef,at home.Go to a beauty center.A L'oreal beauty center hehhe. I am recomanding you L'oreal becouse: -it has 3 different types of products to dyer your hair. 1.The category with ammonia-this one is recommanded if you have more than 60 % white or grey hair.: Majirel(for natural colors),MajiRouge(all tones of red),MajiBlonde(only for blonde) and MajiContrast -for strips. 2.The category with small ammonia concentration :LuoColor.This one is recommanded if you have 35-50% white or grey hair.It can only lighten up your haircolor with 2 maximum 3 tones. 3.The category with ammonia free :DiaColor.This one is recommanded if you have 0-35% white or grey hair.It's usually used tone on tone and it does not lighten your hair!It gives a little "gloss" so that your hair will shine. What you should know most of all is that L'Oreal Proffessionel has a new formula that protects and has some nutritive particles for your hair.It does not matter which category you will choose.They all have it. Becouse of the high protection,the colors will last from 2 weeks to 8 weeks.That depends how strong your hair pigments are.You can help maintain the color by buying products(shampoo,balm,etc) for coloured(dyed) hair. I would not recommand Revlon.It is a strong product,even if it's ammonia free.It will dry your hair after you use it a few times. Garnier is pretty good,but has weak pigments and the color will not last.You are from India.Your hair has very srtong pigments:they will not cede easy. And for the end...I would recommand you to always to tests to see if you are allergic to the product you want to use.If you are but you don't know it,you could have some serious complications:tongue,nose will swell for start,and you can even die becouse of that allergic reaction.So be very carefull. Another thing I reccomand is that you never use the 12 % oxidant(acescent..I dont't know how it's called in english) or 40% volume.It's that thing that you combine with the color cream. Don't color your entire hair every time!If,after all the explanations above,you decide to do it alone,at home..read the instructions:first dyer your roots,then..before the time expires(10 minutes before that) you add a little water to the color cream from your roots slowly,you disctribute it from the roots to the end of your hair.But don't do this every time you color your hair.The color cream will start to react exactly the opposite:instead of coloring,the result will be a blury,discoloured shade.The color cream is doing its job like this: first he lightens up with a few tones(first 5-25 minutes),then starts colouring your hair.If you keep colouring your entire hair,your hair pigment will start throwing out that colour. Now I will shut up :)))) Did any of this helped you out?

mehandi - mehndi on hands
heeeeeeeeeee-----------first let me say my prayers, i am happy i am alive and talking to you----------what a relief, u dont talk lot but a lot---- a lot------- a lot-----heee, thanks for this information, at present i am using Garnier, it works pretty well and i have 15-25% white hair, i dont color my entire hair each time, but only the roots after 2 weeks, and besides that i dont think the entire range of Loreal is available in India, and yes since i have asthma problem i used these products only during winter season otherwise i use HEENA/ mehandi (plant product)- i hope you know about this, not very sure though, just see the picture, it is also used on hands, so it colors the hair red and is a good conditioner too

I know Henna.Watch out for that one.If your hair starts to fall out of the blue,stop using it.It's more powerful than Garnier,so if one day Garnier does not cover the rest of the hair,it's becouse Henna has another type of pigments and it does not allow another product to color your hair. Are you sure there isn't L'oreal over there?The products I mentioned are not to be found in stores.They are proffesional products and you find them only in beauty centers(they are made for haristylist's,hairdresser's use only) Thank you for the best response,it's my first one *jumping around with joy*.I actually yelled "I HAVE A BEST RESPONSE" (like I just won the lottery) and I scared Profetu lol :))))))*hugs*

I generally use Nice N Easy. Most products are the same and the only difference is the price tag. I try not to listen to all the hype on the telly. I tried Revlon years ago but I was not pleased with it.

When I color I always use Nice n' Easy I've used the others but only once or twice each and didn't really see much difference.
