Revlon Colorsilk Luminista – An Ammonia-free home hair colour!

December 7, 2010 Paris B 15 Comments

Remember when I last coloured my hair at home and how I mentioned that the smell of ammonia really put me off and how I wished there was an ammonia-free home hair colour? Well, I knew that there was an ammonia free salon colour, but I just came across this ammonia-free home color kit by Revlon. Let’s hear a yay for no stinkiness!

The Revlon Colorsilk Luminista home colour is ammonia-free and claims to cover 100% grey hair – anyone with grey hair have a testimonial? And it also claims to deliver more vibrant colour for dark hair without brassiness while being gentle enough to leave hair in better condition than before.

I haven’t given it a go. Not sure if I want to go red-head yet, although its a colour I’ve had before. Might be nice to give it another whirl in time for the New Year you reckon? 😉

The current colour of Liese Mocha Orange has dulled somewhat in real life, although it still looks pretty vibrant under the sun. Wonder if I’d kill my hair if I changed my hair colour so close to the last time I coloured 😛

Have you tried this one yet? I’d love to know if you have gray hair and if you know whether this covers the gray 100%

p.s I’m not sure if there are other stinky smells coming from this one since I haven’t tried it. But since the ammonia smell is the strongest usually (and the smelliest) I think this might not stink as much. We can hope!

Revlon Colorsilk Luminista hair colour kit comes in 6 shades and retails for RM25.90 at most leading pharmacies

      That’s a nice shade actually. Purple is very intriguing 🙂

    I’m still comtemplating whether I should try colouring my hair at home. I have long hair and am afraid it’s going to be a messy affair. The last time I coloured my hair at the salon, I had a really bad reaction to the dye. I believe it’s the ammonia. So, I am very interested in this ammonia free dye as well as it can cover my grey hair ?

      I can imagine that long hair would pose a problem for home colour. There is an ammonia free hair dye in salons – Inoa that is literally smell free. Apparently it covers grey too. You could take a look at that? 🙂

    i colored my hair at home..and the latest i tried was revlon colorsilk with the help of my fiancee.He’s using the same color with me.i was really afraid to try revlon before cos i was thinking it’s kind of cheap for me so is it good.Well turn out it’s an ok product.I never came across any hair color that doesn’t have strong smell before.

      Actually I took a sniff at the Inoa ammonia free hair colour in salons and there is really no smell. None at all. I liked that. Not sure if the Revlon one will be the same but it would be great if it was 🙂

    I’m going to try this product for the next hair coloring. This is exactly like Revlon Colorsilk which has no ammonia so there will be no bad smell at all. They have some nice shades in this range.

    Oooh I saw this in the pharmacies. What’s the difference between this and the normal range though? In any case, will be trying this out the next time I dye my hair. Tried the ‘normal’ Colorsilk range and it didn’t dry out my hair.

      psst. I don’t know the difference 😛 It does say it helps dark hair look brighter and more vibrant but if you try it in the future, perhaps you could share with us your thoughts? 🙂

    I’ve tried this one last month, colored my hair by myself in front the mirror . (hands were so tired XD)
    Herm I don’t really like this. Its smell was just like other hair color . That smell , you know…
    And my hair is so rough after I dyed my hair! After a 3 weeks until now , still the same T_T even hair conditioner also cant help to repair my hair . I mean if I use conditioner then it will be smooth , but if without conditioner then will return to rough hair again =(
    And oh , it definitely can’t cover grey hair. I was hoping for that but sigh…it just doesn’t works …
    The best hair color I’ve used it Gatsby for men ! lol…I know it’s weird but I think it’s the best ^^

      Hey dear did you use their after color conditional ? i use it after i dyed my hair and my hair are just like the condition before the dye.
      after that although it’s still kinda rough when i wash my hair, but i use Loreal’s hair mask then my hair is better now..
      i mean, yes it’s rough but still acceptable heh heh

      my boyfriend dyed his hair with Gatsby, it smell really strong and irritate his scalp..
      so i thought Revlon is better than Gatsby..
      but yeah Revlon cant really last for too long..

        hi girls..first time joining this discussion..i had just dyed my hair using this Revlon Colorsilk Luminista and lemme tell you, i am IN LOVE with the after color conditioner! It is the only conditioner that leaves my hair tangle free and the hair comb just glides through like my hair has always been perfect in the first place! i have frizzy, wavy but fine hair, translation limp but frizzy and few hair, so if conditioner is too strong, it will weigh my hair down, however if it’s too light, the frizzies will come out after my hair is dried and they look like the TV antenna (i can call myself the Martian)..i am currently in search of this conditioner and i realised in Makeupalley forum, the girls there too loved this conditioner..now, where to find a replacement or something similar here, in MALAYSIA? *unless, i buy the hair color every month just to get to the conditioner..sob*..by the way, 1 use can make the hair stay perfect for 5 days..and that is a miracle for me, usually i shampoo AND condition everyday!

Posting for posterity because I like this photo 😆 Also hello! 😜

It’s interesting that when I meet people they always ask me “Are you still blogging?” which tells me they don’t read my blog anymore (cos if they did they’d know I am lol! Weekly generally, but still writing) Yet I don’t blame them because a lot of social credit is placed on one’s Instagram presence. This I fear, is an area I am lacking. I pop in every now and then, share stories that are totally unrelated to what people follow me for, then wonder why they unfollow lol! Other times, spider webs gather in the corners of my unused account. I don’t blame them. Not everyone wants to know what my dogs are up to 😜

Anyway I make no apologies. It’s ok if you follow. It’s ok if you don’t. It’s ok if you’re interested in stuff I do. It’s ok if you’re not. Life goes on for both you and I and ultimately, we just both want it to be happy. So do what makes you happy 😊 I’ll still share my beauty finds and I still blog once a week. I may share what I’m up to from time to time, or I may not. I can tell you that I’m keeping busy and that I have a lot on my plate, none of it glamorous unlike that of most content creators/influencers. It’s too boring for most for me to share here so I’ll just share the good bits - as Instagram intended 😂

But if you want to find me, you’ll know how 😊

The review for the product is somewhere on the blog mywomenstuff.com
Yes I know many of you are terrified of lizards 🦎🫣

But I liked this sunscreen - for the body. Even though it left a white cast. Even though it is hard to remove. It kept my arms protected through a weekend of brutal sun exposure and I survived without burning! ✌🏻
