I tried Robert Craig hair color to color gray regrowth. Even though I have fine thin hair, it did not cover my gray which is about 70%.
EDITOR’S NOTES:
I was glad to get this review of a product I had not heard of before. I wish the reviewer would have given us more information though. Oh well, this is a great opportunity to check in to another hair color product.
Robert Craig offers hair color products that do not contain peroxide, ammonia, alcohol or fragrance. They use less ingredients than most hair colorings and do not test on animals. It is available for home use at a reasonable price and can be found at some salons.
This product comes in a powder form and is mixed with warm water. The mixture is typically left on the hair for 15 minutes for a semi permanent result or 30 to 45 minutes for permanent color.
This is not a product that will lighten hair. It just adds color.
I read through many reviews to get a feel for how well women seemed to like this product and for the most part results were positive. The few negative reviews I read were similar to the one from our reviewer above, the color did not work as well for some women’s grey hair.
Each person’s hair is so different, I can understand that one product may not work for everyone. I would have been interested to see if this reviewer let the company know she was dissatisfied and if there was some resolution.
Overall, it appears that Robert Craig might be a possibility for women who want a more natural hair color. If you are sensitive this product does contain ppd (an ingredient used in permanent hair coloring) which is frequently a cause of problems for many women.
If you choose to try this hair coloring don’t forget to do a patch test. This is a good idea no matter if you know you are sensitive or not. You never know if your system will all of a sudden decide to reject some things which never bothered you before.
I’ve been using Robert Craig color for about 10 years, maybe longer. I went to the website to place an order and it said they were out of business! I’ve been looking all over for it and can’t find another permanent hair color with no peroxide or ammonia in the light ash blonde shade it seems like the only permanent hair color that’s powder and with no peroxide or ammonia is in dark colors. Please help thanks
Jane: I just did like you–I’ve been using Robert Craig since 2008–solely to cover my gray–& just today, 12-20-19, found their business was closed! I received emails from them about specials, order confirmations, Q&A replies, & I never got any word this was to happen. I was shocked because, had I known this was imminent when I ordered last August, I would have bought more than I did. I too have no idea where to find this type of product. I can’t abide any fragrance & nothing else covers my gray. Have you by chance, been successful in finding an alternative?
Have you been able to find an alternative color for Robert Craig?
I also am looking for RC color.
Or, something similar?
Thanks
