Review: Absolutely fantastic!!!! beautiful color - Wow! love my results! I had been using another brand for so long and was nervous to switch but so glad I finally tried it! I liked that there's no Amonia in Naturtint and much better ingredients. My natural color is light to medium brown and I had been using color 7N Medium Blond from another manufacturer. Each time I used it though, my scalp burned and got red and the smell had been horrible. I also have a very dry scalp so I knew it was time to switch. I read that it's a good idea to go one number higher with Naturtint which would be similar to the one I previously used 7N. I chose 8N Wheat Germ Blond Naturtint. The color is fabulous!! It came out the same as the medium blond I used to use!! there's hardly any smell and for the first time in 15 years, no burning whatsoever on my scalp!! I did my roots first which took about 17 minutes, then I used the rest of the bottle it came with on the rest of my hair and left it on for 30 minutes. There's even some shiny parts to the color like highlights. The color you see on the box is very accurate. It covered my grays great too. I would HIGHLY recommend it!!!
Review: Great hair dye - My hairdresser recommended me this hair dye. I’ve been using it for about six months now, and I absolutely love it. There’s no strong chemical smell at all as it ammonia-free, which makes the whole coloring process much more pleasant. It mixes easily and applies smoothly, spreading evenly through the hair. I have a small percentage of gray hair, and this dye covers it beautifully. I’ve seen some reviews mentioning that some people experienced skin reactions. Personally, I’ve had no issues at all. I would recommend doing a patch test beforehand, just as the manufacturer advises, to make sure it’s a good fit for you. Highly recommend!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi Ladies,  could anyone tell me will this hair color cover white hair, and is this chemical free? How long will it last? Thanks in advance!!!!**
A: It is absolutely NOT chemical free. I love this product and have been using it for 10 years, but just bc it says "Natur" in the title, don't extrapolate a meaning of chemical FREE. It excludes ammonia and resourcinol (which is excellent) but it still has an EWG score of 8 out of 10 (10 being worst) for toxicity because, well, in order to permanently color one's hair, chemicals are required. Important to note that even ammonia based colors also come in at an 8/10, so I don't know what's up with that. Oh, and yes, it covers white hair beautifully and takes a long time to fade on me. I know this is an old question but I want current readers to see an accurate answer.

**Q: I see Naturtint has to be "all used", you can't just mix as much as you want, and save the rest for touch ups...anyone done this anyway??**
A: I always get four colorings from one box. (I have short hair, not very thick.) I get out my digital kitchen scale, a small glass jar, plastic spoon, and "surgical" gloves. I measure out 1/2 oz of developer in the glass jar, and then 1/2 oz of colorant, and mix with the plastic spoon. I add about 1-1/2 teaspoons of water to think it a bit (I sometimes use my hair conditioner instead of water), and then apply to my hair with the spoon and my gloved hands. I comb it through a bit with a comb. I do not apply with the squeeze bottle. Works like a charm. Just put the lids back on the developer and color bottles, replace in the box and put it away for the next coloring. Subsequent colorings are just as good as the first. Hope this helps! You could try using half the amount of coloring if you have more hair. Hope this helps.

**Q: The price has almost doubled?! Goodbye!**
A: This is a customer replying here. Dont be mad. Come back please. We are all going thru it. I understand completely how you feel. This product is the only game in town that isnt "toxic" that works mmmmmkay? A 24 oz jar of honey is almost 10 bucks. common. It sucks, but what can we do? Our situation isnt real anyways. If we stop buying everything then life is poop and the bad guys win.
Natrutitnt has been eating the shipping cost and they can't anymore. It comes from Spain you see. Use vinegar to rinse it out. That sets the color better. Rinse with cold water. Like an Easter egg ya? The color will last longer and dont wash it as much. Just give you hair a good hard rinse and scrub your scalp with cooler water then use a dab of conditioner. It's better for your hair anyways. Dont be mad at the hair color people. We're all in the same boat. There is no them and us. Ya? 

Peace.

**Q: What is the percentage of para phenylenediamine ppd in this product**
A: Hello! As a permanent hair color with good coverage Naturtint does contain 1% or less of p-phenylenediamine or PPD. While this is certainly a very small amount, if you allergic to PPD, you should not use our product. If you have any further questions, please reach out to our color specialists who will be happy to assist you - 877-372-6567

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Great!
*by A***R on February 3, 2026*

I’ve had a great experience with this box hair dye. The color came out rich, even, and true to the box, and my hair felt soft and healthy afterward, not dry or damaged like with some other dyes. It was easy to apply, didn’t have an overwhelming smell, and the coverage was excellent, including grays. For an at home dye, the results were impressive and long lasting. I would definitely repurchase and recommend
