Naturtint Permanent Hair Color, 3N Dark Chestnut Brown, 5.6 Fluid Ounce (Pack Of 6)

Amazing result

Been using this for at least a year since Whole Foods discontinued my other product. That was a blessing in disguise because Naturtint is easier to use and I like it better. My hair is about 20% gray, concentrated on top and sides where observers can see it most! This does a great job of coloring and staying on the longer portion of my hair, however I find that the roots fade pretty fast - in about 2 weeks. I have to color by 3 weeks or it gets really obvious. I color only the roots, never drag it through my ends b/c it doesn't fade there. My biggest frustration is getting it shampooed out of my hair. Recommendation on that below. Pros: Easy to use - you don't have to wash first like some natural brands require, and doesn't take hours to color, like henna Doesn't have that awful, burning ammonia smell that, with reg. brands, kept me from coloring without an exhaust fan and only when my kids weren't home! Gentle on the scalp - no burn Totally lasts on my ends - the shaft of my hair never fades and stays a nice chestnut color, even on the gray Cons: Roots tend to fade faster than standard brands (but I'll take it as a trade for carcinogenic chemicals) Still has some chemicals--let's be real--but less toxic Washing: this stuff is REALLY hard to wash out of your hair. I can wash 5 times in the removal step, and usually can still feel a grimy coating on my hair until I shower again and wash it several more times. FIX: through trial and error I found that if I rinse with very warm (like, hot) water before and after shampoo, it will rinse out in one shower (maybe two washes). It's not good for your hair though to wash in hot water, so I don't love this, but I make sure to do a final slow rinse in very cool water to lay down the cuticle before I'm done. Works for me. TIP: because I color only roots, it's a waste to wash half the bottle down the drain. I wash out the previous use's squeeze bottle and keep it - then mix only half of the new mixture into it. So each bottle colors twice, which is not only better because I'm not shooting chemicals down the drain, it's more economical. The two bottles of color and developer each have approx. 5T of liquid in them, so I measure 2 1/2T of each into the empty bottle and shake. It's the perfect amount to saturate my roots on top and sides, with some bonus coverage in back but I wouldn't be able to saturate all areas if I had full gray in back. You cannot mix the whole thing and save it though b/c once it's mixed, you have to use or discard.

I've been using this hair dye for a long time, and it has never let me down. What I appreciate the most is the absence of a harsh smell. Instead of that strong ammonia odor, there's a light herbal scent. You know the kind of smell I'm talking about—the one that often gives you a headache. The dye itself is quite thick, and at first, this can be a bit off-putting because it's a bit harder to apply than a more liquid dye. But the upside is that it doesn't drip. The dark chestnut shade comes out very natural! Now, for the downsides: the gloves that come in the box often don't fit well. But that’s minor; the more disappointing thing is that the price has gone up noticeably over the years. Still, buying a six-pack helps save a bit. All in all, this dye has been my trusted partner for years.

Ever since I came across Naturtint hair color I am very pleased with the results. I have been using it for 7 years now. hair results are above and beyond expectations. it covers gray hair 100%, it leaves a soft shinny looks on my hair. NO toxic smells and NO skin irritation or itchy feeling.

nice color，very suit for me
