Went with a darker color than previously used and found this one a really good match to the darker lengths that I have. I am gradually going lighter. This merged perfectly between the roots and lengths, was easy to apply and wash out. I don't actually like the conditioning sachet as it washes out dry and squeaky. I don't feel like it accomplishes anything and doesn't feel nice. I did read after the fact that you can put normal conditioner through your hair after this sachet. I also got a fleck of color in my eye and the instructions to wash the eye out with water are not down as a hazard or caution, they are in the body of text. This needs to be highlighted.
