Not quite right for me colour wiseNot a slight as the colour on the front of the box. Will need to buy lighter 9.0 or 10.0 in future.
Goes on well, doesn’t drip, lovely conditioner.

It’s changed! Was gel now all runny!!Been using this dye for a long time. Covered grey, great shine. Changed name from California to 8. Agree same shade & results. But what have you done to the formula? Even the product box states gel but used this 3 weeks ago and it’s really runny, messy to apply & did not cover my grey by my fringe. Bring back old formula PLEASE.

Bring back old formulaHaving been using this for years. Last time I used it the formula had changed. It was like applying water to my hair the solution was so thin. Left my hair with a very dark ginger tone and colour. Took three washes for it to fade. Why change something that was brilliant for years. I will have to look for alternative now.

Very disappointed in the 'New Formula@I've been using this product for many years now with great results every time. Suddenly they have changed the formula and colour and now I have to say it is truely awful. The product used to be a nice creamy consistency and when went on brilliantly, now it is more liquid and foams us whilst putting it on and is quite runny. Allso you used to get a little sachet of oil to add to the mixture which seemed to give my hair a lovely sheen, this is no longer part of the product. The light blonde colour ended up looking slightly ginger/red. I really don't know why manufacturers change a product when it is so successful.....probably all down to cost and making more profit. I will be looking for a different product for the future, so they have lost me as a long term purchaser!

Nothing like colour on the boxI've used L'Oreal Recital which then changed to Preference for over 40 years without any problems. I usually use this shade but couldn't find it so got Copenhagen 8.1.which according to the box should come out a paleish blonde colour. It has come out a dark metallic colour - not at all blonde so I think I'll have to look for another brand. Very disappointed as not had any issues before.

Reliable and good coverageMy hairdresser did the the initial lightning of my hair and then I have touched up the roots with this shade for the last 8 months - I am naturally mostly grey now and when I was dying my hair with the shade 5 (brown) I had to dye my hair every 3 weeks, using a root spray for the 3rd week. Now with this colour I can colour my hair every 5-6 weeks which means my hair is in better condition. The colour is natural looking and easy to apply.

Great product !I have really enjoyed using this product. I dye my hair every few months due to root regrowth and find some hair dyes leave my hair feeling very dye and damaged at the ends . This one left my hair feeling soft and the colour looked great
