Clairol Colour Studio Step 2 Permanent Colour 5/3 Caramel Brown offers a tempting solution for achieving a warm brunette shade at home. Pros: Beautiful Color Payoff (with caution): Many reviewers achieve a gorgeous caramel brown that adds richness and warmth. However, a strand test is crucial to avoid unexpected brassy tones or a shade darker than anticipated. Budget-Friendly: Compared to salon coloring, this is a much more affordable way to achieve a new hair color. Relatively Easy Application: The application process itself is straightforward, with clear instructions. However, it might be helpful to have someone assist with applying the color to the back of your head for even coverage. Cons: Unpredictable Results on Lighter Hair: This shade is best suited for light to medium brown hair. Lighter hair might end up with a more dramatic color change, potentially reaching a darker brown than expected. Can Be Drying: Like most home hair dyes, this can leave hair feeling dry and needing extra moisture. Investing in a good quality conditioner for color-treated hair is essential. Fading Potential: While advertised as permanent, some reviewers notice the color fading faster than desired. Color-safe shampoo and regular deep conditioning can help extend the vibrancy. Overall: This hair dye can achieve beautiful results, but it comes with some considerations. .

This covered my grey hair like a dream, I’ve struggled in the past to get decent coverage on the grey sparkles poking through but this covered really well. Hair feels beautiful and soft. So easy and quick to use and a gorgeous colour.

I waited a couple of weeks before writing this review as I wanted to see how the colour held up, coverage was good, I feel that there needs to be more in the bottles, for instance if your hair is longer than the tops of your shoulders you will need two bottles. The colour was quite dark after application and it’s only now two weeks in that it resembles the colour on the box
