Hear it from an expert: Marie Robinson Clairol Colorist Named the "Best haircolor stylist" by Instyle magazine.
"Foam is next generation of at home hair color. Nice 'n Easy color blend give you multi-dimensional color with natural-looking tones and highlights."
Will foam hair color give me the same coverage as my regular formula? Absolutely! Color Blend Foam is designed to cover and color completely, front to back and root to tip. Simply distribute the foam evenly throughout your hair and follow the time indicated in your strand test. Watch our How-to video for more tips.
How is foam's coverage better than liquid or cr�me coverage? Color Blend Foam gives you more product volume as it foams up offering effortless, complete coverage. With Color Blend Foam, it's easy to cover every strand over your entire head.
Does foam spread as easily as liquid or stay in place as well as cream? Whereas a liquid spreads more easily than a cream, a cream stays in place better. Nice `n Easy Color Blend Foam combines the best of both worlds. It behaves like a solid when resting, eliminating the drip-factor, but acts as a liquid when moving, making it easier to spread.
How does foam actually color my hair? Once it is applied to your hair, your hair's natural oils collapse the foam. The resulting liquid is drawn through the hairs, allowing the color to penetrate hair quickly and evenly from root to tip. Color Blend Foam will not begin to collapse until it's applied to your hair.

Comments about Clairol Nice 'n Easy Color Blend Foam, Dark Reddish Brown 4RB, 1 ea:
I never colored my hair myself and found this product so easy to use. I used to pay $75 to get my hair colored with the same results. Just follow the simple and straight-forward directions and after application, you are done in just 25 minutes. I love the conditioner as it softens your hair after coloring.

I woule NEVER recomment this product to anyone!!!!
Comments about Clairol Nice 'n Easy Color Blend Foam, Dark Reddish Brown 4RB, 1 ea:
This is the first time I have used an at home coloring product on my hair. The foam was very easy to use and the color was great. I t was a little darker than I expected, but next time I will know to go a little lighter. It is not like I am committing to a permanent change here so it is not a big deal. And as far as the smell, it is a product that changes the color of your hair, so I expected a little amonia smell but it was not so bad that I had to leave the room. I guess I am not that sensitive. I would reccommend trying the product. If you don't like it then at least you tried it.
Comments about Clairol Nice 'n Easy Color Blend Foam, Dark Reddish Brown 4RB, 1 ea:
I was pretty excited to try a foam hair color instead of a cream and I also had a $3 off coupon for the Clairol Nice and Easy Foam.
Usage, it WAS less messy than the creams. But my GOSH the smell was so bad I had to frequently leave the room during coloring just to get a breath. It was literally choking me up. And even my 11-year-old son said, "Mom! What's that smell?!?!"
It was not a pleasant experience.
I'll go back to my messier but nicer-smelling creams, thanks.
Do the skin allergy test 48 hours before each application, even if you have already used coloring products.

Additional Instructions
Before you color - 48 Hours in Advance
Take the Allergy Test.
Do the Strand Test to determine your optimal coloring time.
Read the entire instructions before you begin.
Skin Allergy Test Instructions Must be performed 48 hours before you color your hair
You will need a cotton ball or swab, a plastic bowl and a plastic spoon.
To open, unscrew the entire Color Blend Foam Activator developer bottle cap (#2). Then unscrew the Color Blend Foam Formula cap (#1).
Mix small equal parts of the Color Blend Foam Formula and Color Blend Foam Activator in a plastic bowl.
Tightly recap both bottles.
Apply mixture to a test area the size of a quarter in the bend of your elbow. Allow to dry. Use remaining mixture for the Strand Test. Do not wash this area for 48 hours. During washing, protect with an adhesive bandage and remove it immediately after washing.
Examine the test area during the next 48 hours. If no reaction occurs, you are ready to color.
The absence of a reaction to this test is no guarantee that an allergic reaction may not occur as a result of a future hair coloring process. However, this test represents an important precaution. Please consult a doctor if you have any doubts.
Note: if a rash, redness, burning or itching occurs, you may be allergic. Stop. You must not use this product.
Strand Test:
Do the Strand Test each time you color to determine optimal timing and color results. Perms, relaxers, previous color, and the sun can affect your results and timing. You will need: scissors, tape and a clock.
Cut a � inch wide strand from the darkest or grayest part of your dry hair close to the scalp and tape at the cut end.
Completely cover the hair strand with the mixture remaining from the allergy test. Start timing. After 15 minutes, check the strand. If the strand is not the color you want, return it to the mixture and check the color every few minutes for up to 25 minutes. For extra light blonding, more intense color results, or to cover resistant grays, it may be necessary to leave the hair color on for up to 45 minutes. Fill in your personal color time below: My timing for desired color: _______ minutes.
Color Hints & Tips:
Do not apply to wet hair. Apply color to dry hair that is free of styling product build-up. If hair has build-up, shampoo one day prior to coloring.
Do not shampoo immediately before coloring. Your scalp has natural oils that help to protect it during the coloring process.
If any color gets on your skin or household surface, wipe it off immediately with a damp towel.
Use the additional ColorSeal™ Conditioning Gloss 1 week after coloring.
Call the Expert Color Consultants at 1-800-CLAIROL if you are going more than two shades lighter or darker than your current color, going dramatically red or if you have bleached, double processed or highlighted hair.
Wait at least 1 week after perming or relaxing before coloring.
