6 Best At Home Hair Color Kits and Subscriptions

I am so glad I found ecocolors, you could probably add it to your list?. I am allergic to every other product on the market and thought I was destined to live with grey hair. Thank you for the formula they have created for those of us who had run out of options.

Sir,

I would have an enquiry about permenant hair dye in black.Kindly help.
Thanks

Where can you get discount code for MR??

I’ve been using Madison Reed for a few months. I signed up for the initial shipment and was sent a microfiber towel as a gift. I have a large volume of gray and left the dye on for the recommended 30 minutes and got okay coverage.

They sent me an email asking about my experience and send me a free replacement shipment (along with a plastic mixing bowl and brush) to try again. They also sent an email with additional instructions (leave the dye on for 45 minutes).

The 45 minutes (longer time) gave amazing coverage (no gray peekthru) and it doesn’t have the awful smell. The kit comes with gloves, shampoo, conditioner, a packet of pre-treatment for your skin area.

I setup the periodic shipment for autoshipment.

I was a loyal customer of eSalon for several years and very happy with the product — even had them do my hair in person at their shop in El Segundo, CA. They recently changed their formula to a much inferior product as it doesn’t cover my grays. When I wrote to tell them (again, a customer for years), I got what sounded like a form letter admitting they had changed their formula to a “creamier” consistency for the ease of application. I responded and said I had no problems applying the former formula that covered my grays. I said if this was what they were using even after feedback, not to send me anymore as it’s not working for me. I said I would give Madison Reed a try. I received a response the next day saying they hoped I had better luck with Madison Reed (basically, don’t let the door hit you on your way out), or they could give me a free treatment of the same formula that wasn’t covering my gray. Hmmm … hoping my delivery of MR that arrived today works out.

I tried esalon and they didn’t listen to my requests. The next kit I wanted lighter and more ash. They sent darker and less ash. Not for me.

I ordered Revlon Root Erase from Walmart and am shocked at the results. I wear my medium brown hair dark blond with highlights to easier camouflage gray and had a full inch of brown/gray grown in since I hadn’t been to the salon since late February. 10 minutes this morning and I look like I just left the salon. I used medium blonde since dark blonde was sold out. I cannot believe the results. It was $5.29 and has 3 uses!!! I have an appt at my salon on 5/26 but don’t know that I will be comfortable going. If not, Root Erase to the rescue! Luckily, I have a very low maintenance cut and was growing my hair out anyway, so …

I tried eSalon a few times and they never got my color correct. The reds at Madison Reed are way too limiting if you want to try and cover gray. So far Ion from Sally works better than the subscriptions I’ve tried.

I haven’t tried Overtine but I do use KeraColor Clenditioner and it seems very similar.

Thank you for this list! 🙏

I am currently using overtone due to my allergy to propylene glycol. I had gone with henna before my allergy was diagnosed and overtone can go over henna without issues so it was a great way for me to let that tainted hair grow out without ruining it.

I do honestly wish the color lasted a bit longer and it’s not as vibrant as if you had bleached, but it works well. I currently have permed hair and the formula is definitely great as a hair mask as well. No bad smells either.

My stylist recommended Madison Reed; placed my first order a couple of days ago using a referral code from a friend that dropped the cost from $29-something including shipping to $14 and change.

Although I’ve not home-colored in years, I’m looking forward to this “Fix it!” opportunity!

Please be careful using henna! It will not come out of your hair the same way other dyes do. Do your research before using it!

I just used esalon and was very happy with the entire experience. They ask a million questions to ensure you’re getting what you want and what will look good with your skin tone. They reached out to me shortly after my order shipped to let me know if I was unhappy with the strand test to contact them and they’d adjust the color however I wanted. It came out exactly as I wanted. I also like that you can completely customize your shipments at any time. Definitely glad I tried it.

Overtone is super fun and I love the product. As a hair stylist I cannot recommend henna if you don’t know what you’re doing. Henna does not come out. Period. End of story. Some henna dyes can’t even be bleached out, so just proceed with extreme certainty if you go that route.

I tried esalon. It made a terrible mess in my shower, burned my eyes, is brassy (specifically asked to tone down my red undertones), and left my hair dry. Never again.

I tried eSalon. My regular hairstylist actually helped to pick the correct color. Initial shipping was a bit delayed, but from what I understand it’s faster now. It was easy enough, but I used to color my hair at home. I would say the coverage was OK, but not great. My grays are coming through much faster than usual. When I went in to cancel the auto delivery, I left feedback about the gray and was offered a free month with an improved formula. If my salon wasn’t mixing up “to-go” kits now, I would take eSalon up on it – I was impressed with the service.

Lol. I didn’t realize this was a thing. I’m 30 and buy hair dye bi weekly. I dye my entire head of hair blue or any other color when the feeling strikes. I honestly probably will continue to do so until I’m 90 years old. My blur hair feels natural after having it for years.

Next door lady is 40 and crying about dying her hair over grey hairs since she’s never dyed before. I open up my cabinet and have all this hair dye falling out. Told her to pick a color 😂 .. It’s fun!
