Herbatint Permanent Colour 5R Light Copper Chestnut

Herbatint Permanent Colour in 5R Light Copper Chestnut offers a warm, richly toned shade that blends the depth of chestnut brown with luminous copper highlights. This particular shade is ideal for those seeking a natural-looking colour with added warmth and dimension, complementing medium to olive skin tones beautifully.

Formulated by Nature's Colours, Herbatint is renowned for its gentle approach to permanent hair colouring. The ammonia-free formula relies on a blend of botanical extracts, including aloe vera, witch hazel, and meadowfoam seed oil, to help nourish and protect hair during the colouring process. These plant-based ingredients work to maintain moisture balance, leaving hair feeling softer and more manageable than many conventional permanent dyes.

The 5R shade sits at a level 5 depth — a medium-light base — with copper-red reflect tones that create a multidimensional finish. This makes it a versatile choice for covering grey hair naturally or refreshing existing colour with a sun-kissed, coppery warmth. The permanent formula ensures long-lasting results that resist fading over multiple washes.

Herbatint contains no parabens, no ammonia, and has been dermatologically tested for sensitive scalps. The kit includes the colour gel, developer, conditioner, and gloves for convenient at-home application. Full grey coverage is achievable with the recommended processing time outlined in the included instructions.

For those in South Africa looking for a more considered approach to permanent hair colour — one that prioritises scalp comfort and hair health without sacrificing vibrancy — Herbatint 5R Light Copper Chestnut delivers a refined, warm result.
