COLOR WOW DREAMCOAT WARNING!!

RED ALERT YALL!!! I had to run over here and tell you about my experience with the new color wow dreamcoat spray. Let me start by saying, I’m a huge Color Wow fan, I love the regular dreamcoat spray. Now…. I live in New Orleans so I have hair that is frizzy beyond words not to mention it’s naturally curly and super thick. Well I got a lil too sassy and decided to try the new dreamcoat spray BIG MISTAKE. Despite my hair being curly and frizzy it’s in really good shape. Very health. Well I went to go get my hairdo the other day and the amount of hair that’s breaking is crazy. My hair has never done this before. I’m positive that’s what it was because when I sprayed it in and dried a couple sections I stopped using it because it was making my hair feel gross. Those are the same sections with breakage. Just don’t do it!! If you’re hard headed like me and decide to try it anyway at least just get a small bottle and not a big one like I did!!!

Re: COLOR WOW DREAMCOAT WARNING!!

I am dealing with it right now! My hair was thick 3C 4B hair long down my back until I used the extra strength WOW Color and never again! I used the regular one first and should have stopped there. The regular one did a good job and I was happy with it. The extra strength was a huge NO NO. My hair was just coming out in  small clumps in my hand when I would run my fingers through it or feel the ends between my fingers the ends would be left in my hand and on my clothes. I’m looking pretty pissed and my hair has broken off to nearly 2 inches in spots. Do not do not do not use this product. 

Re: COLOR WOW DREAMCOAT WARNING!!

The same exact thing happened to me.  I have thick, coarse hair but it was in fantastic shape.  I got compliments on the shine and the healthiness of it.  I used this product once…and it was effective.   Did a good job.  I then used it months later and I began to notice my ends kinking up…almost like it was shriveling from the ends upward.  It felt rubbery, dry and lackluster.   Then…the breaking started.   I have never in my whole life had my hair ever break like this.  My hair is so strong normally that it withstands anything thrown at it.   Until I used Dream Coat.  I now have full sections of hair that have broken to 4 inches from my scalp.  DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT. 

Re: COLOR WOW DREAMCOAT WARNING!!

Definitely won’t be getting that then, thanks for the warning ⚠️

Re: COLOR WOW DREAMCOAT WARNING!!

Yes!!! Same here. Ruined my hair. I live in Mississippi. I have thick, wavy hair that I’m highlighting. It makes it feel weird, sticky, super tangly, just awful. So. Much. Breakage.  Threw it away and used a different leave in tonight, much better. 

Re: COLOR WOW DREAMCOAT WARNING!!

Omg the same thing is happening to mine too!!! 

Re: COLOR WOW DREAMCOAT WARNING!!

could you get a refund or return it?! if you can you should get a refund!

Re: COLOR WOW DREAMCOAT WARNING!!

WARNING - DO NOT USE COLOR WOW DREAM COAT!!!!  Same thing happened to me!  I JUST figured it out.  It took awhile by process of elimination but I know it was the Dream Coat from Color Wow!  It's awful.  I've tried all kinds of oils and repair stuff.  NOTHING has made any difference.   I have to cut it all off now.  JD HAIR AFTER COLOR WOW.jpg

Re: COLOR WOW DREAMCOAT WARNING!!

Same... Just figuring it all out. My hair is fine... normally some breakage due to color...but omg this is the worst ever. I was using it in the same place and there is literally all breakage there. RUN from this product. Throw it out. 

Re: COLOR WOW DREAMCOAT WARNING!!

Try Bondi boost bonding mask and oil.

Re: COLOR WOW DREAMCOAT WARNING!!

I have to cut my hair too ! This product made me hair super dry , frizzy , and full of flyaways . It also thinned out  the bottom of my hair. Horrible product . 

Re: COLOR WOW DREAMCOAT WARNING!!

I guess everyone is different because I have found the moisture from the new Dream Coat to be a much needed improvement. And you need to use less product to achieve great results so it is a better value for me. I have used the original Dream Coat about every third shampoo for years, but have always needed to finish with an oil and/or another leave in afterwards. I always applied the Color Wow coconut cocktail after washing before Dream Coat and usually the k18 mask every third or fourth shampoo in between which has really helped keep my fine hair strong and in good condition. My sister also has fine hair and she feels Dream Coat severely damaged her hair. I believe it's because you aren't supposed to use styling products or even heat protectant before blow drying with it. Id you have thirsty hair, you should definitely try the new Dream coat. I also like the IDK 4 in 1 and I'd like to try the Antisocial dry mask. I'm grateful there are so many good products these days. My hair at over 60 years old has never looked better.
