“I’ve been looking for a product exactly like this: 1) Based on chamomile for delicate color but can also neutralize brassiness; 2) Is hydrating, b/c I have dry, frizzy hair; 3) Isn’t water-based, b/c water will just frizz my hair; 4) No hydrogen peroxide, which is drying; 5) No hydrogen peroxide, because I already bleach my hair—don’t need to add more damage; 6) A way to tone my hair (semis and hair glosses just don’t have the right color); 7) A way to tone out the patches of blue, from blue shampoos; 8) A way to add a delicate blonde color to those white hairs that are appearing at the temples; I’m delighted a company finally met the challenge, and this product just nails it”
