Herbatint | Hair Dye 5C Light Ash Chestnut

Wonderful product! I was nervous as my hair is a lot of grey and dark plus bleached areas, I have tried many products to cover the grey nothing worked, I wanted natural no amonia because the hair is damaged. I am so happy, it has brought my hair back to the closest natural original colour and I covered ALL grey! I will never use anything else on my hair again, so happy! 2 Before and after photos. It blended in with the lighter parts I had highlighted previously which were too blonde, it covered the horrible grey and lighted the orangey and very dark areas.

So far I'm very impressed! The application was easy and not as messy. The formula was a gel like formula which was easy to apply to my roots. The colour has come out nice and strong covering all my horrid greys! Yay! I have extremely stubborn greys and I was very skeptical at first since other hair dyes have not lived up to their expectations/promises. I took a chance on this dye given it's qualities and gentle options. Although the packaging is very 1920s! Never judge a book by it's cover 📔 I'm glad I bought it and tried it.

I don’t write reviews, but I was very impressed with this dye, and hopefully it will help someone else who is looking into a more natural alternative to colouring their hair. Grey coverage is really good, personally I think better than the standard ammonia box dyes. My hair is really shiny after using. No smell to the product; standard box dyes make me feel dizzy. One box did full coverage of my mid-length hair. If I was just doing roots then I think you could get 2-3 applications from it. Only downside is it’s a little darker than I would’ve preferred, and shade range is a little limited, but overall I am really pleased with this product and happy that I found a more natural alternative!

Good hair dye but I didn't like how you mix it ,not as usual method

I don’t like using chemicals to colour my hair so I went for this as it has less than the average dye. My hair is silver and white and I wanted a very pale blonde. It did a great job. But I just mixed half the ingredients as I have a chin length bob, and with rubber gloves just massaged it through my hair checking in the mirror that I’d covered all my hair. I’d done the strand test so thought 25 minutes would get the right colour. I was very pleased with the result but would probably do 20 minutes when I finish the last of the mixture, as I prefer it creamy rather than yellow. The mixture does your hair twice unless you have long hair, ie down past your shoulders, so it’s very reasonable too. It’s stayed in for over 3 months and I’m ready to redo it. My hair felt and feels silky and soft which is not always the case with hair colour. I’m Very pleased with it.

I've been dyeing my hair myself for many years. I bought the colour 7D golden blond hoping for a subtle change on my mid brown hair. I was led to believe it would look like the colour on the pack or maybe a bit darker. After using it my hair is now a shocking bright orange. I will never buy this brand again.

PROS:Perhaps the weakest/least offensive smell I have ever come across on hair dyes;It has a minimal smell of "chlorine" alike because of the developer but it is so so so minimal. This is the first time I have not felt any smell in my bathroom as a consequence of hair dyes. I always felt intoxicated and not even opening the windows made any difference, so quite happy about the experience in this aspect.It did colour the roots evenly (virgin hair)it coloured my coloured hair (both highlights/bleached and 'colouring kits' died)It covered partially my greys and in its defence, I have perhaps rebellious greys, not sure I just started to turn grey ( having tried even "age defy" hair colouring just to get rid of my 1% greys in both temples found this one was the only product that made a/some difference).CONSGreys: It definitely did not cover my greys 100%(but i did not attempt to keep it any longer as per the indications)Value for money: My hair is mid length and the bottle was only enough for the roots.The gloves broke just putting them on, so make sure you buy decent gloves to make the most of the product.Ash/Brassy? Not ash, yes somehow a bit brassy in the sun but again in its defence....much less brassy than many, many other hair colouring kits I have bought in the past which contained harsh chemicals.Some factors and adviseEveryone's hair is different, I brushed my hair very well before starting. The consistency is gel alike so it is not quite easy to run the product through. Make sure you have clips and separate hair strands gradually to get an even colouring.If you can get help is always better.Will I buy it again?because it did give some colour to my hair without the chemicals, I will indeed give it another go. This time will make sure I but 2 kits. I will also put more emphasis/start with the temples side ( where I mentioned I have my greys) and then the rest.will get my own gloves to ensure I am comfortable doing this.will also try to use another colour or combine colours; since will be buying two will try mixing it with platinum as others have done or darker as btw did not make my hair any darker ( which I thought it would as others had commented).all in all , worth a second try.

Overall I am pleased with the product. After reading sone comments, I left it longer to make sure my greys are covered (1.5h). It was gentle to my scalp and no itchiness. As you can see in the photos, the shade/tone depends on lighting. From my experience, bronze shades always had some orange undertones visible in the sunlight! I also bleached my hair before so sometimes I use tonning purple shampoo & conditioner to reduce any brassiness.
