Water Works Hair Color Powder, Coffee Brown – Permanent Hair Dye for Root Touch-Up & Full Coverage, Men & Women, 3 Pack

I’ve been using this stuff for years and I love it! I was a Robert Craig hair color user for a long time, and when that was no longer available I had to find something else. This works. I might even like this better. It is not the same as drugstore or salon products, so you can’t expect the same consistency in the mix - this is more watery when mixed because, as the label says, you mix it with WATER. You have to shake it VERY well. I LOVE that this stuff has absolutely no smell and I can throw a couple packets of this and my hair color bottle in my carryon to touch up my hair anywhere I travel. The packets are so small they take up practically no space in my bag. As dry powder it doesn’t affect the liquid limit for airline carryons. How I use it: every 2-3 months I get my highlights touched up and I bring 3 boxes of this with me for the color. (I have butt length hair and a lot of it.) My hair guy is fine with this. He does my usual highlights then colors my hair with this. It works great. I get the same color results I would get with salon color products. The color has to sit on the hair 45 minutes to fully set and cover greys. In between salon visits, I basically use a packet of this as a toner in the shower every 2-3 weeks to refresh my color and cover my grey roots. It works. I just mix it up, wet my hair, apply mainly to my roots and then down the length in the shower, and let it sit while I shave. Rinse, shampoo and condition as normal. This keeps my color looking good while letting me go longer between salon colors. I use the red and it will stain fabric, so avoid getting it on any fabric. I have a white fabric shower curtain liner and I just wash that with bleach to remove my hair color stains. This is not extra work because I would wash the shower liner regularly anyway. Overall I like using this product better than any ”normal” hair color I ever used, and I used a lot of them before I switched to powered hair colors. I hated the horrid smell of “normal” hair dye and it regularly gave me headaches. Plus my hair feels nicer with this than it ever did with “normal” hair dyes. This is not damaging to the hair. I hope they never stop making this stuff and never change it!!! I will seriously use it forever if I can get it!

These do the job and are so easy. Just like it says. Add water and mix it up and your good to go.

I bought it for my mom and she was able to cover her gray hair very well. I recommend it.

Nothing beats this for covering gray hair. I’ve been using it for decades, and it’s the only hair color treatment I trust. I love that it contains no peroxide, and the results look so natural that no one can tell I use hair color at all.

I Do Not Recommend this product. It still leaves you feeling itchy when used. It is a mess trying to use this hair dye. You have to use a whole packet if you want to mix the dye. I tried to use small amounts but you cannot get it mixed right. I have tried this 4 times and have not liked the results. It is a real mess when applying to your hair, and no matter what it never covers all the grey. Brushing in or even rubbing in, it does not give you complete coverage. Ease of use terrible. Mixing not sure what the little measuring cup is for, you have to provide your own mixing dish and plan on throwing it away. Make sure you have an old shirt, old towel, and gloves. I would Not buy this again.

Good item

This was super easy to use. I love that it colored my grey hair. I should have colored more of my baby hairs and not put oil as it said to use cold cream. I didn't need "cold cream" who uses cold cream. My mom used "cold cream" in the 1980's. I use coconut, almond oil, and Castor oil. I got dye on my arms as my hair is to the middle of my back. It came right of with a wash rag. If you have long hair, you will use all three boxes. I used a color brush and painted my roots to the ends until my entire hair was colored. After 45 min, I rinsed in warm water and washed it with shampoo as it says in the instructions. I was shocked to see my hair color black! My hair color in the photos looks lighter than it really is. It looks black. My hair was as light as the color on the box to begin with. Let's see if it lightens up after a few washes. My hair didn't smell or feel as though i had just colored it. I give it 5 stars for the fact that it covered my grey hairs but had to deduct a star because the color is much, much darker than the photo.

I've been applying it to my hair for myself for about five years. No burning or offensive odor. Easy instructions. Just mix with water to the right consistency, apply and rinse out.

Be careful if you have any allergies to hair dyes. Do a patch test and leave it for at least 48 hours, as it didn’t have a reaction after 24 hours and had a severe reaction after about 36 hours.
