Covers grey,leaves hair soft,shiny,natural looking
(the best way to apply the dye is using a bowl and brush. A set with different sizes of brushes that make it easier to color smaller areas,like behind the ears. In reading the bad reviews for this I can only think the person used it on oily hair,in which case the dye stuck to oil or other hair care products (sprays,gels,leave in conditioner,conditioner/product build up which coats the hair;or hair that was unwashed/oily(“dirty”). ) Other bad reviews show the person doesn’t understand the product and had heavy-chemical mass produced/commercial haircolor products expectations in mind. Other bad reviews indicate they didn’t allow processing time.I have used this product for over 15 years,only doing the roots to cover grey/silver that comes with being past 40. My results have been very good.This product does not lighten hair,though colors 8N and above can lighten hair. The way to get a truly lighter shade result might be to remove the color from your hair first,using a dye remover or professional hair bleach and THEN applying the dye (and subsequently doing the same process to the roots to achieve a uniform hair color;) But contacting herbatint first on using the product that way is the only thing to do. They might be able to give a better answer or a more accurate answer. I do know THE ONLY way to dramatically change hair from a darker color to a blond is to bleach your hair first,or use a dye remover from a beauty supply house if you have dyed your hair,and THEN apply the blond shade. THIS will give a true blond color. I have done this process using a commercial grade hair color,way back around 1980. I used Clairol or something as my blond hair dye.A hair coloring bowl and brush is the best way to apply the dye. There are several to choose from with a wide range of prices. If quality is part of it I suppose the brushes could be a better quality,and some sets or kits have a choice of brush sizes or include hair clips to seperate hair into sections to see and dye the roots more easily. I think the clips are awkward,myself but having the hair sectioned into seperate areas has advantages and lets you apply the dye more quickly. Small pony tail bands might be better for fine hair,which is what I have.Leaving herbatint on for the full processing time is needed. If I have a larger area to cover,instead of taking the time with a larger application,which takes longer to apply,I will do it in two applications so I don’t have to worry about dye being on my hair for longer than 40 minutes,with the dye last applied being in the 35 to 40 minute time frame. The processing time being too short will be another reason grey coverage was not achieved,along with the dye washing-off if the hair was oily or coated with other hair care products when it was used. The dye will stick to the gunk or oil on the hair. Instead of being on the strands of hair themselves,the dye instead is on hair care coatings or hair oil,all of which wash off,taking the dye right along with it.Also,the dye is DARKER on the hair after being applied. And the hair stays darker for about 2 weeks. If a chestnut or lighter color was used,the hair will look much darker than anticipated,for about 2 weeks,7 to 10 washings in 14 days. It DOES lose the heavy pigmentation and lighten up after normal washing,after about 2 weeks.Possibly my good results are because I don’t use the dye,at all,on anything but the roots. I don’t add color to hair that has already been colored at the roots. And my hair is very natural looking. And healthy looking. Also I periodically,6 to 10 times a year,use an undiluted straight foodgrade white vinegar rinse on my hair,which removes shampoo and conditioner residue from the hair. And so when I use the dye,my hair has minimal or no hair care products build up on it. (this is just using about 16 ozs white vinegar in a large bowl). Kneeling in the bath tub I put the top of my head in the bowl. Then I use a comb and plastic 1/2 cup measuring cup to scoop the vinegar onto my hair and pour it over my hair,combing it through with a detangling comb. The half cup measuring cup is an arbitrary thing. It was what I grabbed the first time I did this so I just stuck with it. After putting the vinegar on (starting with dry,not wet or freshly washed hair),I rinse it out,thoroughly,in the shower,and then wash and condition my hair . White vinegar is a GREAT soap scum buster and removes shampoo and conditioner build up on the hair. In recommending this I have to stress,DO NOT get vinegar in your eyes. It burns like crazy. I don’t think it damages them but it feels like it could be doing damage,because it burns and stings. Being Very Careful and also keeping a wet cloth nearby to wipe across the area if or when some vinegar might get in is the thing to do. Also,undiluted vinegar on the skin,face neck,back,chest and shoulder area,causes an alarming reddening of the skin. This is temporary. For people with skin problems or skin conditions,asking doctor or looking up info online is important to see if you shouldn’t use undiluted white vinegar. Also it shouldn’t be used where sores or broken skin can be affected by it because it would sting and burn when it entered the wound or broken skin or the irritated skin if someone has a definite skin condition that is known or diagnosed. If skin reddening concerns you,put a teaspoonful of undiluted white vinegar on your shoulder or neck ;or just put it on the inside of your forearm where allergy patch-tests are most often recommended [it is only vinegar but there are a small percentage of people who have skin conditions that could make using it a bad idea,so my cautionary note is along the lines of “don’t use or immerse blow dryer while you are in the bath tub”. ] If the skin reddens then the redness goes away within 10 or 20 minutes,that is normal. If you have concerns,don’t use it or consult your doctor or dermatologist first. Erring on the side of caution because certain people might be adversely affected using undiluted white vinegar. But for what it does,if it doesn’t bother someone in what it does under normal circumstances,it certainly is effective and worthwhile to use. And so is the herbatint N series permanent hair dye. You get good results and grey coverage and the product meets expectations as long as you use it the way the directions say to use it and don’t have unrealistic expectations when using it. This,the Normalizing Shampoo and also the Royal Cream Conditioner are vegan. Not all of the herbatint products are vegan but the permanent hair color and the shampoo and conditioner mentioned here are. I’m not sure if the temporary hair color gel is or not.Hope this helps. It is a good product and does what it says it does. If what you expect differs from the product description,consulting a licensed stylist or using a product that says it does what you expect it to do is the only solution. A product can’t be blamed for mistakes the consumer made or if someone expected results this product makes no claim to achieve.I think I have bought this item at amazon at least one time. If not I assume the ‘verified purchase’ will not show up.

Healthy Hair
I had to stop going to the salon for hair color. The expense was high and the damage to my hair was just getting worse. I was also starting to have skin reactions to the salon dye. I was looking for a more natural dye and found Herbatint and have been using it for half a year now. My hair is way healthier and I have a lot of new hair growth as well. It gives great grey coverage and doesn’t leave my hair looking brassy or coppery like some of the salon products. I use the 4N Chestnut color and it doesn’t fade much even though I love hot water showers. The product does smell terrible. Another reviewer mentioned it smells like wet dog and I definitely agree with that but the results have worked so well for me and my hair that I’m still giving it 5 stars. My natural hair is very fine, straight, dark blonde with 25% grey.

It’s Leprechaun City on Perry St.!
I purchased this Herbatint Hair Dye for my good friend, Maria. She has been longing for some time now for a product that would restore her husband’s hair to the ravishing red of his youth. Well, this is the product! He’s happy, she’s happy, and I feel good about rekindling their young ginger love.Redheads are SO magnetic. It’s hard to believe that not one of the 9 Wahlberg siblings is a redhead.

Liked It
I picked Mahogany Chestnut. It turned out a little darker than I anticipated but that’s OK. It’s closer to my natural black color so that’s not a problem. There’s a bit of shine to it afterwards which is cool.I picked this brand mainly for them being clean, not having too many chemicals, cruelty-free, plant-based, etc. Also wanted to save money from going to the salon. I have a lot of hair and it’s long so it’s not always easy to color it. Thankfully it was not as messy as I thought it was going to be. The mess I made in the sink and shower was easy to clean up. Didn’t leave behind color stains.I would likely use this again.

Good things
This hair dye cream really makes me very satisfied! First of all, the process of use is very smooth, the texture is delicate, and the application is very uniform and will not drip. The color selection is also very rich. I chose dark brown. After dyeing, the color is natural, shiny and layered, and there is no yellowing problem common in hair dye cream at all.

NOT 100% natural damages hair terribly
It’s a good thing I don’t have severe allergies or sensitive skin, because this product is NOT 100% natural and is very harsh on the hair. Fortunately I didn’t break out in a rash or lose my hair, I feel horrible after reading the reviews of people who used this product under the impression that it is a natural and safe alternative to regular hair dyes.But my hair is absolutely fried now. All the way up to my scalp, it’s totally damaged. Did the curl test and lost about 75% of my natural curl. The color is deep and it covered the greys, but now my hair is frizzy and dried out (straw-like). It’s like it’s been abused one too many times with bleach, but all I did was use this color. I’m not a beginner when it comes to hair color, I’ve done it all with my hair and cut it all off two years ago and grew it out so it would be soft again. But the grey hairs were bothering me so I opted for a natural dye. I only left the stuff on for 30 min and rinsed for another 30 tik the water ran clear from my hair. I used the 1:1 ratio as per the instructions, so it’s not user error… this stuff is just really harsh and it’s the way it’s advertised is VERY misleading.There is no smell and it cleans off of skin relatively easy until the 15 min mark when it starts to develop a darker color. Overall I would NOT recommend and will never use again. I’ve used box color from Rite-Aid that did less damage than this product. Absolutely insane how harsh it is on the hair… normally I’m very careful about reading ingredients and reviews. Wish I had read these before slapping this on my head. I don’t recommend this for anyone, even if you have strong, virgin hair. Just stay away from it altogether.

I used Herbatint for many years as I became allergic to regular hair dyes and all the nasty harmful chemicals within them.Great coverage, severely grey areas a little more stubborn to take. However, a great natural alternativeALWAYS patch test 48 hours before using as even the best of us can be allergic to even natural things
