Schwarzkopf Simply Color Permanent Hair Color, 7.5 Almond Brown

I know most people are coming to this product in search of a hypoallergenic hair dye so I’ll cut straight to the point. This did not irritate my allergies at ALL. I’m someone who only recently developed a hair dye allergy (after previously bragging for years that I felt no pain or burn from any type of dye or bleach) and as a natural blonde who longs to be brunette and had already been through every color of the hair dye rainbow while in high school I was very frustrated. I tried other PPD-free dyes and they all had either little to no effect on coloring my hair or would end up irritating my allergies regardless and boy did they stink! But this dye is my new holy grail. Beautiful color, simple application reminiscent of my old go to box dyes, no irritation, and no pungent odor! My hair feels great as well! While first rinsing and drying it did feel a bit dry but as soon as I brushed it out it came back to life and felt soft and smooth.I’ve seen a couple reviews saying the color seems to fade. I haven’t had the time to properly test this yet but in my experience every dye, permanent or not, will begin to fade at one point or another. This is a dye I’m willing to take the chance with. It’s been so hard to find a decent hypoallergenic dye and this works so well and is so affordable, I don’t mind if I end up having to touch it up frequently. I’ve also seen a lot of people using this for grey coverage but I used it for a full head coloring. My hair length is a bit between my collarbone and chest and it’s all decently thick and I was able to color all of it while still having some dye leftover.I cannot recommend this dye enough! Just in case you need any additional context on my personal case to see if this dye is right for your needs: I am 22. Have been bleaching and dying my hair from streaks to whole head since I was 11. My allergy developed somewhere around 2ish years ago. I do not get any kind of direct scalp irritation from regular dye besides some subtly itchiness. My allergy is mainly in the form of a rash developing on my skin wherever the dye came in contact, and will spread to surrounding areas depending how much I give into scratching it. The rash will typically last for around 3 days after dying before clearing up. Even the best recommended PPD-free dyes I’d tried before would at least irritate my ears. This dye is the first one I’ve tried to cause no irritation AND deliver true-to-color results. The shade I purchased was Chocolate Cherry. It is the color I will continue to use. I hope this review helped you out in deciding if you’d like to buy this product. If you try it and it doesn’t end up working for you I will take full responsibility for convincing you to buy it.

I’m normally highly allergic to hair dye and cannot use it and have been searching for years for a dye I can use. I took a chance on this after reading reviews and am so happy I did! No reaction (I was shocked) and my hair looked so natural and felt soft. I signed up for a subscription because I like the results so much. Very subtle and natural, just what I was looking for.

As someone who has tried every ppd free and vegan line known to man at this point ...I cannot recommend this product enough....when I use ppd my glands swell,my face blows up,I get scabs and swelling along with a terribly itchy scalp which makes me have to take allergy meds ....I was so skeptical about this product bc like I said I've tried all the "ppd free" out there ...and nothing was ever dark to take to my hair ...well this is incredible ...absolutely no itching ,swelling, burning...literally NOTHING ...and bonus the color cane out gorgeous and dark and COVERED MY GRAYS :) please take it from someone who is so TERRIFIED OF HAIRDYE ...u will not regret it

I am complaining this to the brand I used for close to 20 years—Féria (In the natural black shade). The last time I ordered Féria and used it I was heartbroken. Not only did the color not deposit correctly, but it destroyed my hair. It took massive damage control. I don’t know if they changed the formula or what but I had to hunt for another black and I’m super picky. This one came highly rated.The main concern is color, if you boil it all down. And it not only covers my greys but it is a beautiful black. It also didn’t damage my hair AT ALL. I’m not joking when I say my hair was actually in better shape after I dyed it. Score! So for that, I will be sticking with this from here on out.The cons…So first of all, I would need nearly three boxes of this stuff to do my hair where as I only needed one Féria. So that was a bit of a bummer. One box is just enough to do root touch ups but when I need to touch up everything, I will need two boxes.The smell is very fishy. Very very fishy 😂.The gloves suck. I’m going to stock my own from here on out.The conditioner isn’t nearly as good as Féria. In fact, I just use my own.But all in all the color is solid and the best black I’ve come across.
