Overview
Not just a tube of dye, this is a three-part color routine: a protective color cream, a caring shampoo and a deep conditioner, all with hyaluronic acid.
The kit pairs color with aftercare, covering gray and conditioning in one purchase, with a compostable package and a sulfate-free formula. The limit is guidance, since each shade has its own directions and the cure time field reads in weeks, which needs a check.
Who it's for
A home color session for stubborn grays suits this kit, on any hair type. Anyone who wants a different shade, or who is sensitive to hair dye ingredients, should read the package insert or look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Gray coverage claimed
- Includes shampoo and deep conditioner
- Hyaluronic acid care
- Bleach and sulfate free
- Single shade, dark brown
- Cure time field looks unclear
- Instructions only in the package insert
Performance notes
Permanent color is applied with the cream, then the shampoo and conditioner handle aftercare, so the final tone depends on starting color and the timing in the insert. Hyaluronic acid is added for moisture, and gray coverage is claimed across even stubborn strands.
