Clairol Natural Instincts Inexpensive Color That Works

Getting older can be less obvious thanks to Clairol Natural Instincts hair color. I discovered a few more gray hairs than I care to share with the general population. After spending a few too many minutes staring into the mirror, I decided it was time to correct the “silver highlights,” as I had been affectionately calling them.

My choices included going to the salon and spending a fortune or tackling those pesky grays head-on (literally), by myself in the privacy of my bathroom. I chose the latter and bought a box of Natural Instincts in the shade called Espresso. I wanted my new and improved hair color to cost less than a fancy coffee drink at Starbucks and look similar in color.

After spending about $5 I was able to achieve both goals. What I loved about the Natural Instincts application process is that it was quick, simple, easy and effective. The color was accurate and covered my gray hair beautifully. In fact, my hair was evenly colored and shiny. This single process formula does not contain ammonia or bleaching agents, which allows it to cover your current color more subtly. I was able to remove the unwanted gray and replace it with dark brown silky strands that matched my original locks.

The color washes out in about 6 weeks so it is a non-permanent choice. Getting older does not have to be so obvious thanks to Clairol Natural Instincts. Now that I am freshly coiffed and colored, I am headed over to Starbucks to hang out with the younger crowd!
