Revlon Hair Color and Hair Care in Bangladesh

Almost everything people want from Revlon here is box colour. The shelf is built around the ColorSilk shades, with the Flex protein shampoos behind them, a Ginger shampoo and conditioner pair, and the Charlie body sprays off to one side.

Each shade and each bottle is a separate entry in the grid above, with its own stock position. For everything else on the same shelf, open Arogga’s Haircare collection.

How the ColorSilk Shade Numbers Work

Box colour is numbered rather than named, and once the system clicks it tells you more than the shade word does. The shades listed are:

The first digit is depth

Line the shade words up against the numbers and the pattern is doing no hiding. Everything beginning with a three is a dark brown. The one beginning with a four is a medium, and the one beginning with a five is a light brown. Depth climbs as the first digit climbs.

That is the digit to settle first, because it decides how far the result sits from your natural hair. A jump of one is a change people notice; a jump of two usually looks like a different person in old photographs.

The second digit is tone

The second digit is the warmth. Dark Brown, Dark Mahogany Brown and Dark Soft Brown all sit at the same depth and separate only on this digit — neutral, then red-violet, then a softer neutral.

Tone is where a box result goes wrong most often. Dhaka hair is mostly dark and already carries warm underlying pigment, so a red-leaning tone tends to show up redder than the swatch on the front of the pack suggests.

What the Ammonia Question Is Really About

Ammonia is the most asked question about this line by a distance, and it is worth knowing what it is being asked about. Ammonia swells the hair shaft so that colour can get inside it, and it is also what produces the smell and most of the dryness afterwards.

Formulas that leave it out use a gentler alkaline agent to do the same job. The trade is usually a quieter smell and less roughness against slightly less lift, which matters when you are going lighter and matters little when you are going darker.

Packs change formula between batches and between markets, so the ingredient list printed on the box in your hand is the authority. Read it before you mix, along with the developer strength, which is on the same panel. Arogga’s Hair Color and Dye shelf carries the alternatives if the one you have does not say what you need it to.

Grey Coverage and Timing

Why a shade reads lighter on grey

Grey hair has no pigment of its own, so the dye has nothing to sit on top of. The same box that gives a deep result on dark hair can come out noticeably lighter and flatter across a grey patch at the temples.

Where grey is scattered rather than solid, the usual approach is to pick a neutral tone at your natural depth rather than a warm one. Grey also takes colour more slowly, so the greyest sections go on first and get the full time.

What leaving it on longer actually does

Permanent colour is a chemical reaction with an end point. Past that point nothing more develops, so an extra half hour buys no extra depth and only dries the hair.

Do a strand test on a hidden section the day before. It costs twenty minutes, it tells you what this shade does on your hair rather than on the model’s, and it doubles as the allergy patch test the leaflet asks for.

The Flex Shampoos

Flex is the protein shampoo line, and it is the part of this shelf where the catalogue is hardest to read:

Two things to notice before you order. The first and second entries carry the same variant at the same volume under two differently worded titles, so they look like separate options and behave like one. And the last entry reads 591ml where its siblings read 592ml, which is a rounding of the same imperial bottle rather than a smaller one.

What separates them properly is the variant word. Normal To Dry is the everyday one, Dry Damaged is the heavier one, and Extra Body is the one aimed at fine hair that goes flat. The 200ml bottle is the only small size on the Shampoos shelf from this brand, which makes it the sensible way to try the line.

Ginger Shampoo and Conditioner

The Ginger pair is the one part of this range designed to be bought together: Revlon Ginger Shampoo with Ginseng & He Shou Wu Extract 600ml and Revlon Ginger Conditioner with Ginseng & He Shou Wu Extract 600ml.

Both carry ginger, ginseng and he shou wu, a root used in Chinese herbal tradition and the ingredient that gives the line its scalp-care positioning. The bottles are the largest on this shelf.

A conditioner matters more than usual once hair has been coloured, which is why the pair sits near the box dye rather than in a different part of the catalogue. Arogga files it on the Conditioner shelf alongside the comparable bottles.

Charlie Body Spray

Charlie is the odd entry on a hair shelf and it has been a Revlon fragrance since the nineteen-seventies. The listings are Revlon Charlie Perfumed Body Spray - Blue 150ml and Revlon Charlie Perfumed Body Spray - Gold 150ml.

Blue and Gold are separate scents rather than packaging colours, and both are perfumed body sprays rather than eau de parfum, so they are lighter and meant to be reapplied. They sit under Women’s Fragrances.

Looking After Colour-Treated Hair

The first wash

Leave it as long as you can bear, ideally two days. Colour keeps settling into the shaft after you rinse the dye out, and a shampoo on the first evening takes a visible amount of it straight back down the drain.

Heat and sun

Hot water opens the cuticle and lets colour escape, so cooler rinses hold a shade for longer. Strong sun does the same thing more slowly, and it is why a red-toned shade in particular starts reading brassy after a few weeks outdoors.

Scalp irritation, burning during development or a rash afterwards is not something to push through. Rinse immediately and see a doctor, especially if you have reacted to a hair dye before.

Reading a Revlon Listing

These titles were entered at different times and they do not follow one pattern. The parts worth checking:

  • The shade number — written as Color-51 on some records and Color - 42 on another, with and without spaces around the hyphen.
  • The word Hair — present on four of the colour records and dropped from the fifth, which reads simply Beautiful Color-30.
  • ColorSilk against Colorsilk — the capital S appears on some records and not others. Same line either way.
  • The volume — 592ml, 591ml and 600ml all appear, and the first two are the same bottle.

What Changes the Price

On this shelf the figure moves on:

  • Product type — a box of permanent colour, a litre-class shampoo bottle and a body spray are three different things and are not priced near each other.
  • Bottle size — the 200ml Flex against the 592ml, which is the one real size choice in the range.
  • Import route — this is an imported range, so shipment timing and exchange rates move the shelf figure independently of anything the brand does.

Shades inside the ColorSilk line are normally priced alike, so a shade chart tells you more than a price list would when you are choosing between the browns.

The current figure for each box and each bottle is on its own listing, updated as stock turns over.

About Revlon

Revlon is an American cosmetics company founded in New York in 1932 by Charles Revson, his brother Joseph and the chemist Charles Lachman, whose initial supplied the letter L in the name. It began with opaque nail enamel and expanded into lipstick, colour cosmetics, hair colour and fragrance.

Its range today spans face and eye makeup, nail products, hair colour under the ColorSilk and Revlon Professional names, hair appliances, and fragrance including the Charlie line launched in 1973. Revlon also owns Elizabeth Arden, Almay, American Crew and Cutex.

The company sells in well over a hundred countries. In Bangladesh its products arrive through cosmetic importers and distributors and are sold through department stores, beauty retailers, salons and online pharmacies.

Buying Revlon Online in Bangladesh

Box colour sells unevenly by shade, so a dark brown and a light brown from the same line can be in very different stock positions on the same day. The grid above is the live picture.

Anyone comparing across brands before committing to a shade will find the equivalents on Arogga’s Permanent Hair Color shelf.

One habit worth keeping: note the shade number from the box you liked, not the shade name. The names repeat across brands and the numbers are what let you order the same result again.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What do the ColorSilk numbers mean?

The first digit is depth and the second is tone. A three is a dark brown, a four a medium and a five a light brown, and the second digit moves the warmth.

2. Will it cover grey hair?

Permanent colour is made to, but grey has no pigment underneath, so the result reads lighter there. Apply to the greyest sections first and give them the full development time.

3. How long do I leave the colour on?

Follow the leaflet in the box. The reaction stops at its end point, so going over the stated time adds nothing except dryness.

4. Is a patch test really necessary?

Yes, every single time, even with a brand you have used before. Sensitivity to hair dye can develop suddenly, and the test is the only warning you get.

5. Two Flex shampoos look identical. Which one do I pick?

Normal To Dry at 592ml is registered twice under different wording. Either record gets you the same bottle, so order whichever one shows in stock.

6. How soon can I wash my hair after colouring?

Wait a couple of days if you can. Colour is still settling into the shaft, and an early shampoo in hot water takes some of it with it.

7. চুলে কালার করার আগে কী কী খেয়াল রাখব?

আগের দিন কানের পেছনে অল্প একটু লাগিয়ে patch test করে নিন। চুল শ্যাম্পু করা থাকলে এক দিন পর করুন, আর shade নম্বরটা লিখে রাখুন — পরেরবার একই রং পেতে ওটাই কাজে লাগবে।
