Product review: The benefits of Color Seal

Filed in archive Product reviews on May 18, 2007

Girls are obsessed with their hair, and every one of us knows that a bad hair day is something to dread. When you color your hair, especially year after year after year, the hair tends to loose its shine. Even though every hair color manufacturer out there promises a brilliant shine, the truth is that your color (and your hair) will look great and vibrant for a week or two after coloring, and it's all downhill after that, until you dye your hair again.

The only thing which really helps keep hair color stay great is the 'conditioning treatment' which many brands bundle in every box of color. Those little packets of product really have magical properties, but there is sadly too little of it to last me a full month, considering how thick my hair is.

Great news came from Clairol, which decided to sell Nice'n Easy Color Seal also separately. I was lucky enough to get this product for testing, and after two months use I can tell you it does help.

The use is easy, you just have to apply the Color Seal once a week instead of your usual conditioner, to preserve the color. I dye my hair blonder than it's natural color, and the Color Seal helps fight away dullness, brings the so needed natural shine back.

If you don't believe me, check out the photo of my hairy head! Try the Clairol Nice'n Easy Color Seal ($4.50 at Walgreens) and keep bad hair days at bay. With a satisfaction guarantee, there's nothing to lose!
