Daeng Gi Meo Ri – Korean Herbal Hair Dye Color Cream [Natural Brown] - PPD-Free Gray Coverage, Hair Protection, High-Keratin Formula, 5 Oz

The last time I got my hair professionally dyed, I ended up in a medical emergency, due to a weak liver (what's applied to the scalp can deposit into the bloodstream, so I think the chemicals were too strong and my liver too weak to handle), so ever since then,I've been afraid to get standard chemical coloring done, so I was even nervous about trying this product out. Also I've never colored my own hair at home before, but it was simple and easy. I finally tried it out today, and the process and results were great. I have areas of white hair, and I left the product on for about 40 minutes. No bad bodily reactions and perfectly colored over. Love this product and will continue to use it to cover my white hairs. Two thumbs up.

Before ordering I looked all over the internet for photos or a video of this product being applied so that I could understand it a bit better. There really wasn't much out there. I'm in my mid-40's, of Germanic origin and have been coloring my hair for about 25 years. It's starting to thin and I have lately noticed scalp and skin reactions to drugstore hair dye. Refusing to go grey gracefully (just cannot do it) I briefly considered henna and walnut dye before finding this product. I ordered this with hopes that it would cover my grey (10-20%) without wrecking my hair or giving me hives and restoring me to my natural base color ... in the range of a 5/6. Happy to report zero chemical reactions and hair feels healthy.For the record, the instructions do come in English. I used a professional brush and bowl to apply 1/2 of the entire box of pudding like product to unwashed and completely dry hair, roots first (virgin hair), let that process for 10 min and then applied the remaining product thru the mid shaft and ends of my hair for additional 10 min. The color came out even...so that's good....but it is slightly darker overall than I would prefer. The color is definitely a warm brown. If you don't like red-tones...steer clear. If I were to do it all over again, I would keep the 10 min processing time for my roots and reduce the processing time to 5 min (or less?) on the rest of the hair. I am including photos so you can see before/during/after.The product mixed up easily. It initially smelled like a barnyard, but that dissipated within 5 min or so. I thought it smelled like ivory soap while it was processing. I don't notice any residual smell now that my color is complete/dried. I didn't feel like the process was all that different from any other box color I have used. My hair did feel a little dry after washing the product out. I applied a heavy duty conditioning mask afterward and then followed up with a leave in treatment before drying/styling.Hope this helps!

This is my 2nd time purchasing this and it works well. My only complaint is the color said natural brown but my hair turned out jet black

I have tried multiple hair dyes for my gray hair and none has worked. I saw a commercial for this product and read all the reviews. I decided to give it a try. I can honestly say this really works. It completely transform all my gray hair back. I am very please with the results. Definitely recommend this if you want something that works.Only downside is the oder, it stinks like diarrhea or portable bathrooms. I had to wash my hair multiple times and condition to try to remove the stench. Otherwise, this is one product that works for stubborn gray hair.

I used this product to cover up a few straggly gray hairs I’ve been developing (super annoying), and I didn’t want to pay >$100 for a professional job when it was just the roots that were bugging me out. So I decided to try this out. And I love it!The color and activator come in 2 separate plastic tubes that you combine together in a plastic tray (provided) to form the color mixture. You only use what you need, which means that if you’re just touching up roots you can easily save the rest for later use, which is pretty cool, and a great value. The kit also comes w/ a comb (to help separate your hair into layers for the coloring process), a plastic cover (so you don’t stain your clothes or towels), and 2 trial sets of shampoo and conditioner, which was a really nice touch.I used Natural Brown, which — as mentioned in some other reviews — was actually a bit darker than I expected, but still looked natural and blended well w/ my natural hair color (I’m Asian) and balyage coloring.I loved that there was no chemical scent to the product at all. It also rinsed out nicely and didn’t leave me w/ that pasty-gritty build-up I’ve had w/ other home coloring kits, which can be hard to wash out. The shampoo and conditioner samples that were included smelled amazing when I was rinsing and really did a great job keeping my hair smooth and soft. Yes, my hair *actually* felt healthier after using this product!! Amazing.Ultimately, I got good coverage, an even natural color, it was easy to do, and I feel confident that I did’t just riddle my already-sensitive hair to an excess of heinous chemicals. Easy process and great experience overall.

Somehow does not work the same as the one I bought in the store

This brand is AMAZING! enough material for long hair, it covers grey hair, and it is not smelly. I believe the longer you leave it work the darker it gets. I got MEDIUM BROWN and I left it almost two hours and the color turned out to be very dark, it looks very natural and my hair is not damaged at all.
