What makes it different?

Most hair dye comes in two bottles you mix, brush on, and wait up to an hour. Polar is hair color in a shampoo. You lather it in, wait 10 minutes, and rinse. No bowl, no brush, no ammonia smell.

It’s ammonia-free and made with plant extracts like reishi mushroom, ginseng, and fo-ti. And one bottle gives you 10 to 15 colorings, not just one.

In the box: 1 × 200 ml (6.76 fl oz) Polar Instant Dye Shampoo, 1 × instructions and care leaflet.

Does it replace my regular shampoo?

No. Our Instant Dye Shampoo is hair dye that you apply as easily as a regular shampoo. It’s not meant for every wash.

Use it when your grays or roots start to show, usually every 4–6 weeks. In between, keep washing with your regular shampoo.

How do I use it?
  1. Lather:
    Pump onto your hands and lather well.

  2. Apply:
    Spread evenly on dry hair and leave for 10 minutes.

  3. Rinse:
    Rinse thoroughly and enjoy your new color!

Do a small skin test 24 hours before your first use.

Will it work on my hair?

Yes. It works on all hair types, from straight to 4c coils, and on colored or treated hair. It also works on beards.

Have highlights? Put Polar only on the grays you want to cover, not over your highlights.

Ingredients

Plant extracts: Ganoderma lucidum (reishi mushroom), Polygonum multiflorum (fo-ti), Panax ginseng, ginger root, black sesame, macadamia oil, and jojoba oil.

Ammonia-free. Like all lasting hair color, it contains color ingredients and hydrogen peroxide. Some shades contain PPD. If you have sensitive skin, do a skin test first. The full ingredient list for each shade is printed on the box.

Goes on nicely- no fuss- no mess. Works well if dampen hair first- then shampoo in sufficient amount to lather into hair…. Wait 10-15 minutes- rinse out & condition as usual. Done & done 😁

Customer photo review of Instant Dye Shampoo

I was diagnosed with breast cancer 3 years ago. I am 54 years old. Surgery, menopause and medications hit me like a ton of bricks and expensive trips to the salon were not working. With my cancer history, I decided harsh chemicals were not the way to go and started growing out the gray. I discovered Polar hair shampoo on instagram and was skeptical but decided to give it a try. I am so impressed with the results and I applied the medium brown for 10 minutes. I feel so refreshed! It works!!

I purchased the red instant dye shampoo , I left it on a little longer than the recommended 10 minutes because I wanted a deeper red colour. As you can see it didn’t get my desired colour it’s more of a copper than a red . But I am still happy with how easy it was to apply and the result I got.

Sorry guys, I meant to put that i used the Purple shampoo. It does stain so I'd wear the gloves. I love my results and the colors it turned my hair. It covered my gray/white roots all of them. Left it on 25mins. Wore gloves to rinse it out. It made my hair shiny and silky too. Stop using harmful box dyes and give polar a try. 10 outta 10 for me.

I was very sceptical but then I saw a friend who followed your brand and asked her about the shampoo. After her recommendation I purchased Dark brown and have not been disappointed. Easy to use, covered my greys, great colour for me and the best thing is I haven't got a brown forehead or ears. I love this product it's absolutely amazing.

Customer video review of Instant Dye Shampoo

I realised that it was time to cover my grey, wispy hairs that were starting to pop up all over the place, especially as they always seemed to point in the opposite direction to the way you wanted them to. I was worried that box dye would be too much of a commitment and time consuming and that monthly trips to the hairdresser would cost a fortune. I was intrigued to see Polar Haircare advertised and decided to give it a whirl. I'm so glad that I did! My hair is now lovely and soft, glossy, healthy and has a new lease of vibrancy that I haven't had since I was knee high to a grasshopper! Thanks Polar! ❤️

Medium brown still has red undertones but is better than light brown.

I was pretty hesitant in trying Polar Haircare. It just sounded too good to be true. However I tried it. I bought the red shampoo dye since I had previously dyed my hair red. I was so surprised at the end. It covered my greys very good and I'm very happy. I will most definitely buy another one!

I love how well my gray was covered, and it’s super simple to use. My only problem is the actual color. I wanted purple. The color on the bottle said purple. The shampoo was purple. But my hair is magenta. I’m not happy with it at all. If you developed a true, deep, dark purple I’ll definitely try again.

When I saw this on Facebook, I said oh here we go, this can’t be true. But I decided to try it. It was easy. It was not messy and took 10 minutes to do and my hair thick , and very gray, well Polar shampoo took care of that!!! I also get a lot of compliments. I love the color. I did medium brown and definitely highly recommend this product. Thank you polar🩷

Customer video review of Instant Dye Shampoo

The product does not work. It does not cover gray hairs as its website states that it does. It says it works in 10 minutes. That is not true either. I had to leave it on for 20 minutes and it still did not cover my gray hair. It just is not a hassle-free return policy as their website states they want a customer to pay the shipping cost if the product doesn't work in order to return it to them and it is not 100% money back guaranteed. As the website States this is a scam. The product does not work. Don't waste your money buying it

Did not give the correct colour, first try over greys it went a light red/brown so tried again a few days later and still the red in it.

Customer photo review of Instant Dye Shampoo

Do not buy this they advertise a completely different color red than what it turns out to be on your head. I’m orange. The pictures actually do not show how orange my hair is. My hair is so orange in person that I had several people that I don’t even know out in public say oh that’s cute. You dyed your hair orange for Halloween to look like a pumpkin, I guess hell no that’s not at all what I did I have asked for a refund, especially since and I provided the photo it shows 30 day satisfaction guarantee for money returned. They’re not wanting to give me my money back and have completely stopped responding to my emails so like I told them, I will report them to the Better Business Bureau for false advertisement and for refusing to return money when their website clearly shows that there’s a 30 day satisfaction guarantee and I am well within the 30 days

Customer photo review of Instant Dye Shampoo

Hydrogen Peroxide is a f***ing bleaching agent. I was under the false impression that this would be semi as it said it didn’t contain bleaching agents and was 1 bottle I was horrified when I used the pump and it was 2 parts as semis require no mixing, and it did NOT state that it was PERMANENT so because of your mislabeling and inaccurate advertising I now have an ugly colour permanently staining 4 years of hair growth. I’m utterly furious because copper isn’t red and the yellow tones make me look sick and it’s not washing out and making my cool toned roots look grey (they aren’t I’m 25) one of my items also came with a different ingredients list than the website and would only give a 1/2 refund unless I paid to ship it back which is against the Australian consumer rights act. I’m up to 3 counts of mislabelling and faulty advertising in 1 order. And my best comment on my hair was “oh…. That’s different…. Did you use box dye?” Which given how expensive this is was horrifying to hear. First hair pic was day I dyed it second is roughly 1 month later.

Left the color on for double the amount of time indicated and greys on dark brown hair came out orange.

Customer photo review of Instant Dye Shampoo

Sooo disappointed. It’s only been 3 weeks since my last color and I only had gray along the part and sides. It barely covered the gray, especially on the side, and instead, now I have a red streak at my part and look like a deformed skunk. I need to have this professionally fixed and now my hair will suffer from the over processing.

Well the advert showed bright red this is like ginger/brown, definitely not what I wanted

Give more thorough instruction on how to apply the hair color and how long is should stay on. I had previously dyed my hair, does this cause a problem with not covering the roots of my hair? I left the color stayed on for about 20 minutes or so, so what went wrong?

BUY WITH CAUTION!! VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DISAPPOINTING PRODUCT! Don’t expect an easy refund! Based on my experience, you’re lucky if you even get a response from their customer service team when requesting a return or refund. I have sent multiple emails and follow-ups, and their customer service has been extremely frustrating. Initially, they offered me an even exchange, even though I clearly stated in my email, along with attached photos (the red color on the glove was from the other brand I’ve been using), that the product did not work for my hair and that I wanted to return it for a refund. After several follow-up emails, they finally responded and offered either a partial refund or the option to proceed with a return. I replied asking two simple questions: 1. Should I also return the bottle I had already opened and the complimentary gift? 2. What would be the total refund amount I would receive if I proceeded with the return? They never answered either question! I sent multiple follow-up emails asking for clarification, and I have not heard back from them since. THIS COMPANY HAS TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! Their lack of communication and unwillingness to answer basic questions about their return process have left me feeling like I was scammed. As for the product itself, I absolutely DO NOT recommend their red color shampoo! The shampoo is not even red! When I pumped it out of the bottle, it looked more like a dark brownish-purple color. I tested it on a small section of my bright red hair, and instead of enhancing the red, it actually turned my hair a darker purple shade! I was extremely disappointed because the results were nothing like what was advertised. I purchased this shampoo expecting to maintain my vibrant red hair, not turn it purple! I will definitely be going back to the color shampoo brand I have always used because that product actually delivers the bright red color I want. BOTTOM LINE: BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK! Between the disappointing product, misleading color expectations, and terrible customer service, this has been an extremely frustrating experience. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT OR COMPANY!

It is my opinion this product is not fit for purpose. It barely coloured my grey hairs and left them an embarrassing pale peach colour

Customer photo review of Instant Dye Shampoo

The Dark brown isn't very dark, it's noticeably lighter than my natural color. It didn't cover my gray very well, too light. It turned my menopausal hair issues into a brittle, wiry, dried out nightmare. Also it colored my finger nails so that they looked dirty for a week. I noticed my roots within 7-10 days.
