Product Information
Full details
The Herbatint Permanent Hair Colour Gel - 5M is designed for adults seeking a gentle yet effective way to color their hair and cover grey. Its key benefit lies in its ammonia-free, low-chemical formula that provides 100% grey coverage without harsh odors or irritants. A potential caveat is that while gentle, patch testing is always recommended before full application to ensure compatibility with your specific hair and scalp.

FAQs
Is Herbatint suitable for my first time coloring my hair?
Yes, Herbatint is suitable for first-time users, especially if you are looking for a gentler option. However, it is crucial to perform both a strand test and a skin sensitivity test 48 hours before application to ensure you achieve the desired color and to check for any allergic reactions.
How long does the color last?
Herbatint is a permanent hair color. The longevity of the color depends on hair type, maintenance, and external factors like washing frequency and sun exposure. For best results, use color-safe hair care products.
Can I mix different Herbatint shades?
Yes, you can mix different Herbatint shades to create your own unique color. Always maintain the 1:1 mixing ratio with the developer. It's recommended to do a strand test with your custom mix first.
How often should I reapply Herbatint?
Typically, you can reapply Herbatint every 4-6 weeks, or as needed, depending on your hair growth and how well the color holds. If you are only touching up roots, apply only to the new growth area.
What is the difference between the gel and the mousse formulations?
The gel formulation is designed for easier application and better adherence to the hair, potentially leading to more even coverage. The mousse is a lighter consistency. Both are ammonia-free and formulated for gentleness.
Does Herbatint contain PPD (p-Phenylenediamine)?
Herbatint formulas contain PPD, which is a common ingredient in permanent hair dyes. However, they are formulated to be as gentle as possible and minimize potential irritation. Always perform the patch test 48 hours prior to application.
How do I store the leftover mixed product?
Leftover mixed product cannot be stored and should be discarded immediately after application. Only unused, unmixed components can be stored for future use, provided they are sealed properly.
Troubleshooting
Color not as expected
Ensure accurate mixing ratio (1:1) and adequate processing time. Natural hair color and condition can affect final results; a strand test is crucial.
Skin irritation during application
Immediately rinse off the product with lukewarm water. If irritation persists, discontinue use. Ensure you performed the skin sensitivity test 48 hours prior.
Uneven color coverage
Ensure the mixture was applied evenly and thoroughly to all sections of the hair, particularly focusing on roots and grey areas. Comb through gently to distribute product.
Product difficult to rinse out
Rinse longer with lukewarm water until the water runs completely clear. Gentle shampooing can help remove residue. Ensure conditioner is applied and rinsed well.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Preparation: Wear gloves and an old towel to protect clothing. Ensure good ventilation.
- Mixing: In a non-metallic bowl, mix the contents of the colorant (A) and the developer (B) in equal proportions (1:1). Stir until a homogeneous gel is obtained.
- Application: Apply the mixture evenly to dry, unwashed hair, starting from the roots and working your way through to the ends. Ensure all hair is covered.
- Processing: Leave the mixture on for 30-40 minutes (or as per specific instructions for first-time use vs. root retouch).
- Rinsing: Rinse hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Shampoo gently and rinse again.
- Conditioning: Apply the included conditioner, leave for a few minutes, then rinse. This helps to seal the color and restore hair's natural pH.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for all hair types (adults).
- Ideal for covering grey hair.
- Recommended for those with sensitivities to ammonia or strong chemical odors.
- Always perform a strand test and skin sensitivity test 48 hours before use to check for allergies and preview the color result.
Care:
- Use color-safe shampoos and conditioners to maintain color vibrancy.
- Avoid excessive heat styling, which can fade color faster.
- Store unused product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
