I'm not quite sure how Garnier's latest offering in home hair colour differs from formulas like <a href="http://www.lorealparis.ca/haircolour/all-over-colour/excellence-to-go.aspx" target="_blank">L'Oréal Paris Excellence-to-Go</a> and <a href="http://www.clairol.com/niceneasy/perfect_10/index.jsp" target="_blank">Clairol's Perfect 10</a>, but at least it's good to have options. <a href="http://www.garnier.com/herbashine/index.aspx" target="_blank">HerbaShine</a> is ammonia-free and, like the other brands, works in just 10 minutes. It'll cover up to 70 percent of greys and lasts up to 28 shampoos. The point of difference they seem to be emphasizing are the bamboo extracts, which apparently help to improve hair's strength and flexibility. I like how natural-looking the 18 shades are ($10.49 each).
