N&E Perfect 10

I gave this product a try (Med Ash Brown) because I just had a baby and have no time for 40 min. developing. My grey is very resistant so I was hesitant. It actually covered my grey! I left it on 15 min. It didn't cover as nicely as my favorite at-home product (Loreal Excellence) in that it wasn't as intense (dark). But to a new mom it was a great find, much better than walking around grey!

The product boasts that it's glossy, and yes, it was very shiny and highlighty-looking. That's kept up nicely for two weeks with gentle, infrequent shampooing. The included conditioner is nice, smells faintly like nexuus therapy.

The color is def. on the warm side. I pull a lot of red, and I still got some warmth, even with the ash shade.

Overall I recommend this. It's about $13, so more than other store color but much less than salon for you home colorists!

I didn't (never do) pull through because my hair gets too dark. It looks dark brown unless I'm in direct light or outside as it is...

THANKS for the tip though...and the caution. I'm going to have to check out the ingredients. If it does have high A or P I may have to pass on it. My hair tends to be porous and dries out quickly (long, thick & wavy). I haven't used heat in years and it's in great condition.

Did you use 6A?
 I think this product uses sodium glycinate or EDDS are the terms & The EDDS binds to copper & prevents its access to hydrogen peroxide thus waving a magic want at the damage created by free radicals & preventing FIBER DAMAGE more efficiently than products that use dtpa, edta, hedp... & there was mention of reducing pH.

ammonium carbonate +Hydrogen peroxide+ amino acid sodium glycinate @pH9
vs
ammonia+hydrogen peroxide
@pH10-11

So Borne.Blonde, (BTW: thanks for posting that chemistry lesson!) do you think the Nice & Easy Perfect 10 IS a more gentle formula? Do you think it's using something to open up and deposit the colour so quickly? Look forward to your thoughts!

BB: you rock! That is very interesting info. Sounds like it could be a typo. I mean, I don't think they are allowed to do false advertising are they? Saying it has one thing when it doesn't? Maybe, I am very naive!

So Far it may be proprietary info & I will have to ask a higher ranked person :P

I chatted on clairols website... Pretty Handy, but they didn't know what EDDS was etc.

Your right cheese, their are professional products that lift and deposit colour at the same time. Wella have one called  Magma, only thing its manly copper, blonde and reds they so. We use L'Oreal Majirel, which does the same thing. You need to use 40 vol of peroxide for them to work.
