Herbatint Permanent Colour in 5C Light Ash Chestnut offers a sophisticated, cool-toned brown shade that beautifully neutralises unwanted warm or brassy undertones. This refined chestnut hue sits in the medium-light brown range with subtle ashy undertones, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a natural, understated look with a cooler finish.
Formulated by Nature's Colours, Herbatint is one of the most established plant-based permanent hair colour systems available. The 5C shade delivers reliable grey coverage while maintaining a gentle approach to colouring. The formula incorporates a blend of botanical extracts, including aloe vera to soothe the scalp and birch extract known for its conditioning properties, helping to support hair health throughout the colouring process.
What distinguishes Herbatint from conventional permanent dyes is its reduced reliance on harsh chemicals. The formula is free from ammonia, parabens, and added fragrance, making it a more considered option for individuals with sensitive scalps or those who prefer to minimise their exposure to synthetic ingredients. The gel-based consistency allows for even application and thorough saturation from root to tip.
The "C" in the 5C shade code indicates the cool ash tone, which works particularly well on naturally warm or golden-toned hair that tends to pull brassy after colouring. It's also a popular choice for blending early greys into a natural-looking, dimensional brown.
Each box contains the colour gel, developer, and a conditioning treatment for use after colouring. Results are long-lasting and fade gradually, maintaining a natural appearance between applications.
