desertcart.com : Water Works Hair Color Powder, Coffee Brown – Permanent Hair Dye for Root Touch-Up & Full Coverage, Men & Women, 3 Pack : Beauty & Personal Care

Review: Used for years, love it! Great for travel too. - I’ve been using this stuff for years and I love it! I was a Robert Craig hair color user for a long time, and when that was no longer available I had to find something else. This works. I might even like this better. It is not the same as drugstore or salon products, so you can’t expect the same consistency in the mix - this is more watery when mixed because, as the label says, you mix it with WATER. You have to shake it VERY well. I LOVE that this stuff has absolutely no smell and I can throw a couple packets of this and my hair color bottle in my carryon to touch up my hair anywhere I travel. The packets are so small they take up practically no space in my bag. As dry powder it doesn’t affect the liquid limit for airline carryons. How I use it: every 2-3 months I get my highlights touched up and I bring 3 boxes of this with me for the color. (I have butt length hair and a lot of it.) My hair guy is fine with this. He does my usual highlights then colors my hair with this. It works great. I get the same color results I would get with salon color products. The color has to sit on the hair 45 minutes to fully set and cover greys. In between salon visits, I basically use a packet of this as a toner in the shower every 2-3 weeks to refresh my color and cover my grey roots. It works. I just mix it up, wet my hair, apply mainly to my roots and then down the length in the shower, and let it sit while I shave. Rinse, shampoo and condition as normal. This keeps my color looking good while letting me go longer between salon colors. I use the red and it will stain fabric, so avoid getting it on any fabric. I have a white fabric shower curtain liner and I just wash that with bleach to remove my hair color stains. This is not extra work because I would wash the shower liner regularly anyway. Overall I like using this product better than any ”normal” hair color I ever used, and I used a lot of them before I switched to powered hair colors. I hated the horrid smell of “normal” hair dye and it regularly gave me headaches. Plus my hair feels nicer with this than it ever did with “normal” hair dyes. This is not damaging to the hair. I hope they never stop making this stuff and never change it!!! I will seriously use it forever if I can get it!
Review: Perfect Hair Color - These do the job and are so easy. Just like it says. Add water and mix it up and your good to go.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: do you use hot water?  can u mix in paper bowl with plastic spoon? does cover white hairs, i am brown hair with patches of white, if use med. brown?**
A: No I don’t use hot water. I use lukewarm water to mix it. I don’t use a paper bowl. I have a plastic bowl and hair color brush which I use to mix it and apply it. For more stubborn greys I tend to leave the color on for 45 minutes to ensure full coverage. I’m 50% grey in my roots with dark brown hair and it works for me.

**Q: Where is the expiration date on this product?**
A: I looked on the last box I have, and there is no expiration date on the box or on the plastic bag inside.  It might have been on the plastic wrap that covered the six boxes when I purchased them, but I do not have that anymore.

**Q: does medium brown have some warmth to it? i do not want a dark flat look, i like a warm brown that has some lightness to it**
A: Hair color came out very dark. No warm color

**Q: What is the number on the package for?**
A: The number on the package represents the hair dye color.  I use Natural light Brown which is #27, so my box has a #27 on it.
