Herbatint permanent hair dye is free of ammonia, resorcinol and parabens. We believe it is the safest option that currently exists on the market for those who do not wish to use henna-based dye. It contains propylene glycol which is on our list of ingredients to avoid, and some other ingredients (like Ethanolamine) that we would not usually allow. We think grey is beautiful, but if you are going to buy dye, and don’t want to use a henna product, this is the next safest option. This decision took us 2 years to make, and was swayed by the large amount of customer requests to stock this product.

Our strict ingredient policy means that you can always shop according to your values. Every item on FtN is checked to be better for the environment, socially responsible, good for you and free from toxic ingredients.

Herbatint vs Ordinary Dyes: Herbatint gives you the same range and depth of colour as ordinary chemical-laden hair dyes, and the same long-lasting coverage too. The gentler formula also leaves your hair in better condition than conventional dyes.

Herbatint vs Henna: Herbatint actually penetrates the hair with colour; henna-based dye simply creates a solid coating around the hair shaft. 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.

Directions

  • Pour equal quantities of colour and developer in a bowl, mix it with a brush to get in few minutes the consistency of a gel, then apply the mixed product onto dry hair, and leave to develop for 40 minutes.  
  • Rinse and shampoo with Herbatint Normalising Shampoo.
  • Finish with Royal Cream Regenerating conditioner, leave in for 5 minutes and rinse out.
  • Full details in the instruction leaflet inside the pack. The leftover unmixed product could be used for further applications: no product waste!

Going Darker:

How does Herbatint penetrate the hair without ammonia?
Herbatint uses plant-based alkalines, with a maximum pH level of 8.5 (ammonia is 12.5); this prevents 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. Aloe vera also 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 smallest possible amounts (0.8 - 0.9%) in most of the colours, with a maximum of 2.1% in the darkest colour. Current European legislation allows for PPDs to comprise up to 6% of the constituents of hair dyes. Herbatint also contains numerous plant extracts to reduce the impact of PPDs. However, we recommend that pregnant ladies and people undergoing chemotherapy treatment do not use any permanent hair dye.

I have had allergic reactions to hair dyes in the past; will I react to Herbatint?
Most people who have reacted to ordinary dyes 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, 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 patch test before dyeing 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 use Herbatint after a perm?
Yes, but use a shade lighter than you want, as permed hair is more porous. Leave the dye 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.

Very impressed! The colour came out exactly as it shows on the box. Four washes later and the shine and colour look amazing. Covers my 60% grey, no problem. a huge reduction in falling hair after applying this dye which is a huge bonus. Will definitely continue with this natural, quality product.

it is a good product and it goes a long way. However it does goes a little darker than expected. So I would recommend getting the colour you like and want and then a shade lighter and mix the two.

After months of searching, Im super happy to have found this product. Definitely worth a try if you
e colouring your hair regularly.

I found choosing a colour rather tricky - as the names don seem to correspond with the colour shown on the box. I went with the colour displayed, rather than the name - which was very similar to the colour of my hair after use.
