Herbatint is easy to mix and apply and is fragrance-free. If you have used a henna based dye in the past few months, please note that using chemical dyes over hair colored with pure plant dyes can give unexpected results, which are usually much darker color than would normally be expected, because plant dyes don't “lift” as easily. Chemical dyes may also fade faster than usual because henna makes your hair smoother and less porous so the chemical dyes won't attach as well, and often wash out with fewer shampoos. Therefore, if you are going to change the type of dye you are using please, give it a few months between the dyes. To be extra vigilant we would suggest a strand test if you are switching from henna to chemical based or visa versa.
With Herbatint, you don’t have to make a choice between style and beauty on the one hand and looking after your health and supporting green practices on the other. The colour holds for as long as conventional permanent hair dyes and the depth and range of colour is not compromised by the lack of chemicals. With its unique dyeing process & quality Ingredients, hair is left in far better condition.
Herbatint is not tested on animals and comes in biodegradable, recyclable packaging.

For your Information:
How does Herbatint penetrate the hair with colour in the absence of ammonia?
Herbatint uses plant-based alkalines, with a maximum PH level of 8.5 (ammonia is 12.5), which avoids structural damage to the hair shaft. This also means that once the colour pigments have been deposited, the hair cuticle can be completely re-closed, resulting in better hair condition and far less colour fade. The addition of Aloe Vera assists with the transfer of colour.Are Phenylenediamines (PPDs) present in Herbatint?
Like all permanent hair colour products Herbatint does contain PPDs, the colour pigments used to alter your hair's natural shade. Though the research is not conclusive, it has been suggested that PPDs are potentially harmful. Herbatint contains the minimum possible levels – 0.8 – 0.9% in most of the colours, with a maximum of 2.1% in the darkest colour. Current European legislation allows for PPD’s to comprise up to 6% of the constituents of hair dyes. Herbatint also contains numerous vegetal extracts to reduce the impact of PPD’s. However, we recommend that pregnant ladies and people undergoing chemotherapy treatment do not use any permanent hairdye.I have had allergic reactions to hairdyes in the past; will I react to Herbatint?
Most people who have reacted in the past do not react to Herbatint, as the formula does not contain many of the potential irritants normally used in hair dyes, and much lower levels of those that may cause irritation. Herbatint also contains Aloe Barbadensis, which is an effective anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant. However, there are a small number of people with allergic reactions to all kinds of substances and we strongly advise performing a skin test prior to tinting your hair.Which herbal extracts are included in Herbatint?
Herbal extracts include Aloe Vera, which is rich in vitamins, enzymes, Panthenol and natural minerals to protect and nourish the hair while colouring; Meadowfoam, rich in vitamins E and F, ensures better colour cover and longer lasting results; Witch Hazel is rich in essential oils and treats the scalp, Betula Alba (White Birch) is an effective hair tonic and Echinacea hydrates the hair.How often should I colour my hair?
With permanent colour, we suggest colouring re-growth when it becomes noticeable (usually after 5 weeks).Can I colour my hair after a perm?
Yes, with Herbatint you can, but use a shade lighter than you want (permed hair is more porous) and leave it on for only 10 – 15 minutes, unless you are covering grey, in which case leave it on for 30 – 40 minutes.Does Herbatint work on bleached hair?
Yes, but remember to mix a gold shade with a natural if your target shade is 6N or above. 5N and below must be mixed with gold/copper on bleached hair.Will Herbatint cover my grey?
Herbatint covers grey 100% on its first application, however, if you are more than 20% grey and you are opting for one of our fashion shades (Golden, Mahogany, Copper or Ash), we highly recommend that it is mixed with the appropriate natural tone. Natural colours are indicated with a letter N, from Black 1N to Platinum 10N. To cover mostly grey hair for example, 20ml of 4R Copper (the chosen colour) should be mixed with 40ml of 4N Chestnut (the corresponding numbered natural shade) and combined with 60ml of Glycol developer. Accordingly, if 20ml of 7R Copper Blonde is chosen, you would then mix this with 40ml of 7N Blonde and combine with 60ml of Glycol developer.
The higher the percentage of Grey that needs to be covered the greater the proportion of Natural colour that needs to be included.Which conditioner should I use after colouring my hair?
Herbatint works continuously to develop newer, even more gentle hair products. Included with this product is a sample of Herbatint Moringa Repair Conditioner. This nourish and repair conditioner is 99.8% natural and can be used as an alternative to the Royal Cream Conditioner in the box post colour application to reseal the hair cuticles and restore natural balance. Without parabens, silicones, imidazolidinyl urea and SLS.
Herbatint Moringa Repair Conditioner Ingredients: Aqua (Water/Eau), *Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract (Aloe Vera/Aloès), *Olea europaea Fruit Extract (olive), Cetearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Cetearyl Glucoside, *Butyrospermum parkii Butter (Shea Karité), *Triticum vulgare Germ Oil (Wheat/Blé), Octyldodecanol, *Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract (Rosemary/Romarin) *Lavandula angustifolia Flower Extract (Lavender/Lavande), Moringa Pterygosperma Seed Extract (Moringa), Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Algim, Parfum, Citric Acid, Maltodextrin, Limonene. -

21/04/2021, By AnnaGrateful for a hair colourant which is not destructive to the environment18/02/2021, By RobynI did find this to be very drying on my hair but am still pleased it has less harmful ingredients than other brands27/10/2020, By JaneMy hair is 80-90% grey and this colour has worked effectively for many years. I love it that I am not harming the environment when I colour my hair27/10/2020, By AnnaGood colour and kinder to the hair and environment. Been using if for years20/07/2020, By TaniaWow, FTN - this product was R212 a couple of weeks ago, now R229? That's nearly a 10% increase. Quite steep, no??16/06/2020, By JenI’m one of those people who’ve never used tint from a box. Very particular about my hair and the products I use, but along came Lockdown and I was forced to buy tint and do it myself! After hours on the internet, a colleague suggested Herbatint. I’m so impressed. Will carry on with it, even after lockdown. Nice texture - doesn’t run, easy to apply, and this particular color is lovely on my darkish hair.11/06/2020, By JennyI'm so glad this product isn't so drippy because I've been attempting to colour my own roots during lockdown. I have also moved from 6N to 7N (one shade lighter) so that the regrowth isn't so noticeable.
03/06/2020, By SusuAfter having colored my hair for many many years I have used this product for many years and my hair looks and feels amazing - no more chemicals for me! I will never use anything else! Thank you ????29/05/2020, By NatashaWasn't effective in covering grey. I did not like this particular colour much - love Herbatint in general14/03/2020, By LeighI have been using this for years now, and I will never go back to commercial ones with nasty chemicals in. For me it covers 100% grey, and looks so natural that the only indication that I colour my hair is when the grey starts growing out! The colour swatch indication is a better guideline than the name, it isn't blonde, its more light brown. I sometimes mix half/half with 6N. It will go lighter in the sun over time, my tips are lighter than where I dye the roots due to this, but it looks very natural. As with any hair dye, it dries the hair out, but using the free shampoo & conditioner provided with the product really helps. Best natural hair dye on the market.28/10/2019, By KatNice and gentle. The colour accuracy on this particular shade is more true than many of the others. However, doesn't cover greys (I have less than 1% grey, so very few) and doesn't last very long.29/10/2018, By TaniaI have been using Herbatint for more than a year now and absolutely love it, will definitely continue using!22/04/2016, By CandiceA little more pricey than your average hair colour, but so worth not having all those toxic chemicals! The colours are great and it covers those grey hairs well :) The shampoo and conditioner work well together after the colour and leaves your hair feeling soft and healthy.
