naturcolor Haircolor Hair Dye - Light Burdock, 4 Ounce (5N)

I have used this product successfully for over 20 years. Yes, 20 years I've been combatting gray hair, mostly around the crown and temples. My natural color is dark brown with hints of auburn.You MUST use the "N" series for gray coverage. I use two colors combined to replicate my natural color. By combining 5N and 6N I get a really beautiful color. They've also recommended mixing 6N with 5R for a nice color. I've done both options and liked both but I think the coverage lasts longer using both N colors, 5&6 N.The other critical mixing recipe must be equal parts of color and gel developer.You can play around mixing colors but they must equal the gel.Often I use the measurements of 20 6N with 10 of 5N which equals 30, then add 30 of the gel. This recipe makes 60 parts and it's enough to color my hair thoroughly, which is a shortish layered bob. I usually need to recolor at 30 days or so. If I let it go longer it does become brassy.For the people who say this doesn't work, I believe they are not choosing their colors well, you need "N" colors to cover the gray, or not using equal parts of color and gel, or not leaving it on for 45-60 minutes. I find 45 is good for my hair any longer and it comes out too dark.This product is safe and affordable and it works. I was paying $200 for a cut and color and even the professional color was fading and showing gray temples at two weeks!I've saved thousands of dollars over the past 20 years using this user friendly product.Good luck!

This was my first time using Naturcolor. The color (5N) was perfect for my brown hair! I called their 1-800 phone number and a gentleman was SO helpful assisting me with the color I needed! The product was easy to apply. The box INCLUDES shampoo and conditioner! Extra bonuses! My hair is shiny! There were some areas that the color didn’t take as well so I had another 1-800 person give me 2 options: 1- buy an additive for $2 that will allow for extra bonding to the roots or 2-apply the cream in the box with a cotton swab as a pre-color (keep on for 10 min) then wash out and apply the color like you normally would. A third option is that after about 3 days I could color my hair again. All options sound reasonable! Honestly, my hair was too grey as I waited too long To color. The bottom line is, great color, my hair is shiny, the product is NATURAL, they have amazing customer service, they offer free shampoo and conditioner! I’M IN!

I probably would never have tried this if it wasn't for the pandemic. I usually use regular box color, dark blonde, but it's out of stock everywhere near me. I guess hair dye is the new toilet paper. I tried this for no other reason than that it's a dark blonde and the bad reviews are not too bad. They mostly just say it didn't work, no one says they have green hair or anything. I thought it was easy to apply. The gel is dark and so you can really see where it's saturated right away. I left it on my roots for 20 minutes, then combed it through like the directions say, and left it for about 35 minutes. I washed it off- I am stunned. It looks great. I have about 35% gray hair, it's been going gray since I was about 23, and this dyed all my gray roots with a really deep color. I think it's better than normal box dye. I was also a big fan of the conditioner in the box, it was really high-quality. It melted into my hair immediately and there was almost nothing to rinse out. My hair is on the dry side and I'm a big user of conditioner and this melted right in. I honestly expected this to be useless and I tried it mostly because I was bored but I didn't think it would work. I think it's the best my hair has looked in years. I will rebuy and will also get the large bottle of the conditioner.UPDATE: I'm updating this review after three uses. First, I still really like it. I think it works as well/better than nice and easy but the color it gives is very natural. I would describe it as a honey or wheat blonde. I'm going to contend with some of the instructions. At one point it says not to saturate your hair and this is wrong. The more you saturate your hair the better it works. The second time I used it I really coated every hair and it made a big difference. The instructions also say that it stops working after a while so not to leave it on longer than the directions say. I don't think this is true. I've started leaving it on new growth probably an hour and 20 minutes and I think that's really optimal for the results I want and to completely dye the grey hair. Third, the description of this product says it doesn't lift/lighten your hair but it does. It's not several shades lighter, and I don't think you can get any type of platinum blonde with this but it does lighten my hair from an ashy blonde/cool light brown to a medium light honey blonde. So this is what I would say: best results, saturate your hair completely. I put tons on my new roots. Leave it on at least more than an hour. It does lighten your hair and it does cover grey completely and dye it permanently as long as you put enough on and leave it on a good while. The benefits of this product are that the color is really so natural, it looks gorgeous, it is healthier and smells way better than box color, it doesn't sting your skin, and it isn't damaging to hair. I'm going to keep using this as long as they make it. My hair looks like I spent $200 on it or that I naturally have the most gorgeous blonde. I didn't actually think my hair looked bad before but now that I see the difference it just looks so upscale compared to the box color I was using before.
