Where the semi-permanent version blends, this one covers. Up to 100 per cent of the grey goes, and because the colour is permanent it stays put until new growth shows rather than washing out over a handful of shampoos.

Schwarzkopf have kept the result on the natural side of the line. The pigments work with your existing tone instead of laying a flat block over the top, which is what avoids the shoe polish finish that gives cheap men's dye away.

A care complex in the formula works on the condition of the hair while the colour develops, and the application is designed to be done alone without redecorating the bathroom.

Good if you want the grey gone rather than softened, and you would rather not book a salon appointment to get it done.

Application tips

Read the leaflet before you open anything and carry out the skin allergy test in the window it specifies. Mix the two parts in the bottle provided.

Work the colour through dry hair starting at the temples and hairline, since grey shows there first and needs the longest contact. Leave it for the time printed on the pack, rinse until the water runs clear, then use the conditioner in the box.

Results

Grey goes rather than softens, and the shade holds until new growth appears instead of drifting paler over a fortnight of washes.

The tone stays close to natural, so people notice you look less tired without working out why. The finish is matte rather than glossy, which is what stops it reading as dyed, and the hair feels normal afterwards rather than coated.
