I have been using clairol clear luminize for 30 years. What do I do? I have medium blond hair and it has been perfect for me to get the natural shade I love.

 I'm in the same boat

I read elsewhere that the replacement that Clairol recommends only lasts about 10-14 days. I just found out it was discontinued tonight. I am freaking out. I have been using it for over 30 years too. and no one ever guessed I colored my hair because it looked natural. What to do?

 Substitution Solution for Luminize Clear
by: Blondie

According the the Clairol website (http://www.clairolpro.com/professional-hair-products/discontinued) a compatible substitution would be to use their Creme Demi Permanent Clear Mix Tones with Clairoxide 20-volume developer. Lifts 1-2 levels. I am satisfied with this sub & have been using Luminize Clear for over 20 yrs on my dishwater blonde hair.

 Clairol Soy Haircolor to Replace Luminize
by: Anonymous

Did as Clairol website instructed for replacement of Clear Luminize I used 30 years. Bought the new soy demi-permanent color "Clear Mix Tones" and developer. Was terrible stuff! Leaves NO shine, takes out any shine you had, and makes your hair like STRAW! The "color" lasts a week and fades instantly! WORST PRODUCT I EVER USED!

I see clear Luminize on Ebay now running $35-$50 a bottle! Have written twice to Clairol to bring Luminize back! If we keep trying maybe they'll wake up! Has anyone found anything close to Luminize?
DON'T BUY CLAIROL'S SOY GARBAGE OR THEY'LL KEEP TRYING TO MAKE US SWITCH!

Agree with everyone who has used luminize for over 30 years. Nothing else works like it and really wish they would bring it back.
