REVLON ColorSilk Permanent Hair Color Medium Auburn 042 - Pack of 6, Ammonia-Free with Bond Repair Complex

Revlon ColorSilk Medium Auburn 042 is an ammonia-free permanent hair color kit that delivers vibrant, natural-looking auburn with full gray coverage and a conditioning finish.

Designed for at-home use, this pack of six Revlon ColorSilk kits includes everything needed for a single application per kit: colorant, developer, after-color conditioner, gloves, and instructions. The formula pairs a no-drip gel texture with Bond Repair Complex and vegan keratin fillers so you can tint, cover grays, and help maintain a smooth, shiny appearance after coloring. Each 4.4 oz (125 g) kit aims for even coverage on a range of hair types and textures, making it a practical choice for repeat coloring or household use.

How does this shade look on different hair bases?

Medium Auburn 042 is a warm, medium-depth auburn that reads as coppery-red on light bases and as rich auburn on medium brown hair. On darker hair, the tone will be subtler unless hair is pre-lightened; results vary by starting color and porosity.

• Light blonde to light brown: shows clear copper-red tones.
• Medium brown: becomes a warm, multi-dimensional auburn.
• Dark brown to black: expect a deeper auburn hint unless pre-lightened.
• Gray hair: formulated for complete gray coverage with vibrant results.

What does the formula contain and why does it matter?

The permanent color is ammonia-free and includes a Bond Repair Complex plus vegan keratin fillers to help restore smoothness and shine during the coloring process. These ingredients are intended to support hair texture and manageability rather than promise therapeutic repair.

• Ammonia-free gel reduces strong chemical odor during application.
• Bond Repair Complex supports structural integrity of color-treated strands.
• Vegan keratin fillers help create a smoother surface and glossy appearance.
• After-color conditioner helps seal and enhance softness post-color.

How easy is it to apply at home and what’s included?

The no-drip gel formula is designed for controlled application from roots to ends, making it simpler to use without excessive mess. Each kit comes complete so you don’t need extra products to color at home.

• Included: colorant tube, developer bottle, after-color conditioner, gloves, instructions.
• No-drip gel texture for targeted, even application.
• Instructions supplied for mixing, timing, and rinsing steps.
• One kit covers typical short-to-medium lengths; longer hair may need extra product.

How long will the color last and how should I maintain it?

As a permanent tint, Revlon ColorSilk deposits long-lasting color that gradually fades with repeated washing and environmental exposure. Maintenance routines help preserve vibrancy and shine over time.

• Expect durable color that fades gradually, not instantly.
• Use color-safe, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners for longer life.
• Limit frequent hot-water washes and heat styling to reduce fading.
• Periodic root touch-ups keep the overall shade uniform.

Who is this for: Revlon ColorSilk Medium Auburn 042 (pack of six) suits anyone seeking an affordable at-home permanent auburn shade with reliable gray coverage and a conditioning finish. It’s ideal for households that color regularly, users wanting ammonia-free application with a gel consistency, and those who prefer having multiple kits on hand for repeat treatments or to service multiple people.
