1. What is HERBATINT™?

HERBATINT is a permanent hair colorant gel with a natural herbal base that contains NO AMMONIA or ALCOHOL, but will cover grey 100% and can lighten you hair up to 2 shades.

2. Does HERBATINT™ contain Phenylenediamines (PPD’s)?

Like all permanent hair color products Herbatint™does contain PPD's, which are the only type of pigments that will fix in the hair shaft. So we need a small amount to make the herbal color stable.

3. Will HERBATINT™ cover my grey?

HERBATINT™ covers grey 100% on its first application. If you are 25% grey or more remember to mix your chosen fashion shade (gold, copper or mahogany) with the appropriate number from the natural series. For instance target shade 6D (Dark golden blonde) with 6N (Dark blonde). For 30% grey mix 1/3 6N with 2/3 6D. For 50% grey, or more mix ½ 6N with ½ 6D. Some grey hair can be particularly resistant. Here are some hairdresser tips:

1. Having applied the tint gently massage the root hair for about 5 minutes concentrating on the hairline, parting and temple areas.
OR
2. Mix 10ml of color with 10ml of developer and apply to the obvious grey roots. Leave this for 20 minutes and then apply your color, as usual, over the top and commence as normal.
OR
3. Apply color to root area and using a hand-held dryer gently warm the most resistant areas for about 5 minutes.

4. Why should I use Normalizing Shampoo and Royal Cream Conditioner?

Unlike the ammonia-based colorants HERBATINT™ works at a low pH which means that we can close the hair cuticles after tinting, by using HERBATINT's™ Normalizing Shampoo and Royal Cream Conditioner. This will result in color that will not fade to the extent of ammonia-based colorants. The hair will feel soft and smooth and with the cuticle closed the hair will reflect light and look shinier.

5. I have had allergic reactions to ammonia tints in the past; will I react to HERBATINT™?

In practice, we have found that approximately 85% of people who have reacted in the past DO NOT react to HERBATINT.™ With NO AMMONIA present very little of the product penetrates the epidermis and consequently does not enter the blood system. However, we still strongly advise performing a skin test prior to tinting your hair. A small number of people have allergic reactions to all kinds of substances.

6. What is VEGETAL color?

VEGETAL color is a true semi-permanent color that lasts 6-8 shampoos. It imports shine and condition to the hair with a hint of color. VEGETAL Color contains NO AMMONIA, NO PEROXIDE and NO DIAMINOBENZENE

7. Will VEGETAL cover my Grey?

If you are experiencing the first few greys VEGETAL will tone these to look like natural lights in your hair. If you are more than 10% grey you need to use HERBATINT™ which can be mixed as a tone on tone color and will cover your grey.

8. Can I change my hair color with VEGETAL Color?

VEGETAL Color will brighten your natural shade, but will not alter it.
