Designed for full grey coverage and enhanced natural undertones, this paraben-free, vegan-friendly kit includes everything needed for two applications, plus a nourishing after-color conditioner to maintain vibrant, soft, and shiny hair—all in just 30 minutes. ## Description Precision Foam hair dye eliminates the mess of traditional color and delivers flawless color through a thick, drip free foam formula. This application prevents messy drips and unwanted patches resulting in a fade-resistant, salon-quality hair color that also gives 100% grey coverage. 4N is a neutral dark brown designed to enhance your natural undertones with deep color saturation and vibrant results. For the best results, use this hair color on light brown to black hair. On mostly grey hair, the color will appear lighter than the hair color shown on the results swatch. On red hair, your color results will be dark reddish brown. John Frieda Precision Foam hair color is a gradual hair color foam that penetrates your strands for deep color saturation and spreads easily into roots and hard-to-reach areas for complete, patch-free coverage. This thick foam hair color goes on white to prevent residue and dripping while maximizing penetration and color traction in your brown hair. Follow up with our nourishing after-color conditioner to seal in your color for long-lasting, tonal richness. This hair coloring kit includes everything you need for fast and easy coloring, including colorant, developer, after-color conditioner, foamer, gloves and easy to read instructions-now in a 2 pack so you don’t run out. Get the natural color you always wanted! Review: Easy, Applies Evenly, Good Scent - Great — got the weird copper color out of my hair (first photo is before). It is a very dark brown now but this dye applies very evenly and naturally. I used L’Oréal Féria hair dye months before this, which left uneven splotches. The John Frieda foam color creates little to no mess and is simple to use. Will buy again. At first, I thought this dye wouldn’t work because of how light and airy it is (felt like my hair was barely coated). Just keep adding more to saturate the hair and it will dye evenly. Also, smells SO much better than L’Oréal Féria, which was starting to give me headaches from the scent. Review: Garnier Olia step aside- John Frieda in da house! - I have dark brown hair and have been using Garnier for years now and decided to try something new. Well, I am a convert now! As compare to Olia, John Frieda’s foaming magic: - is easier to apply (this is especially important as I age and my nearsightedness gets worse) - provides more even and consistent coverage (I no longer have very noticeable streaks of medium brown where I didn’t do as good as a job as I intended) - results in total coverage of whites, however more subtle in color as compared to Olia; overall the color looks softer (but natural) - is gentler on my scalp than Olia - is less intense in terms of chemical smell - washes cleaner (I no longer have spots of brown dye on the shower walls that I have to rinse off *after* rinsing my hair) - results in slightly shinier and softer hair than Olia although the frizz level is about the same - stains less (easier to wipe off skin and my scalp is whiter in the aftermath as opposed to usually being tinted right after a dye job) Things that can make it better are the original gloves (new packages seem to have the cheap kind that every brand has now) and alternate ingredients (without sls, etc.). I’m happy that I tried the foaming dye and I don’t think I am ever going back unless I am looking for very strong saturated color that requires a lot more patience and luck. I will however, try to look for a foaming alt that is cleaner (while using JF in the meantime as my new best friend). ## Features - EASY-TO-APPLY FOAM HAIR DYE - Unlike the sometimes messy application of traditional color, Precision Foam hair color has a thick, non-drip (no mess!) application to prevent drips and patches - NATURAL BROWN THAT LASTS- This hair color is a long-lasting neutral dark brown designed to enhance your natural undertones - FULL GREY COVERAGE - Our long-lasting foam hair color is a rich, salon-quality formula that prevents fading and restores your confidence in your rich brunette shade - MOISTURIZING COLOR CONDITIONER - John Frieda Precision Foam hair color kit includes an after-color conditioner that enhances your color while nourishing and conditioning natural brown hair - ALL YOU NEED FOAM HAIR KIT - 2x foam hair color kit with everything you need, including colorant, developer, after-color conditioner, foamer, gloves and easy to follow instructions ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004DK4DUG | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,884 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #24 in Hair Color | | Brand | John Frieda | | Brand Name | John Frieda | | Color | DARK NATURAL BROWN 4N | | Container Type | Tube | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 2,989 Reviews | | Full Cure Time | 30 minutes | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00717226162046 | | Hair Color Permanence | Permanent | | Hair Type | All | | Item Form | Mousse | | Item Weight | 227 g | | Manufacturer | Kao USA Inc. | | Manufacturer Part Number | 16204 | | Material Features | Color Enhancing, Cruelty Free, Vegan Friendly | | Material Type Free | Paraben Free, Vegan | | Model Number | 16204 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Information | Tube | | Product Benefits | Achieves salon-quality, long-lasting hair color with easy foam application and full grey coverage, while nourishing and conditioning hair Product Benefits Achieves salon-quality, long-lasting hair color with easy foam application and full grey coverage, while nourishing and conditioning hair See more | | Recommended Uses For Product | Please read directions inside package.

People think I have highlights because of the way this turns the greys blonde but they stay lighter than the non-grey hair. I hope that helps. **Q: Is this product ammonia free like other brands for example revlon? If not, does it cause more greys after one use?** A: No. And No. **Q: Can anyone tell me the difference between dark red brown 4r vs deep cherry brown 3vr?** A: Levels in hair color are 10=lightest blonde 0=black 3-4 level would be very dark but not quite black. V=Violet R=red 3vr is a darker violet red tinted brown base and 4 is a shade lighter with a red tinted brown base. **Q: Is this color dark in no lighting and sun?** A: Yes. Keep in mind that red hair looks dark in no lighting or Sun. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy, Applies Evenly, Good Scent *by C***E on July 23, 2026* Great — got the weird copper color out of my hair (first photo is before).

I get compliments on how shiny my hair is and how rich the color is. It is super easy to apply, it’s very forgiving, it doesn’t take long at all, and the color doesn’t ever fade into something undesirable. The gloves are massive so, if you have small hands, you might want to use your own gloves. ## Frequently Bought Together - John Frieda Precision Foam Colour, Dark Natural Brown 4N, Full-coverage Hair Color Kit, Anti-Fade Gray Coverage, Deep Color Saturation Hair Dye, 1 Application - L'Oreal Paris Root Cover Up Temporary Gray Concealer Spray, Hair Color Spray with Filling & Thickening Coverage, Dark Brown, Packaging May Vary - L'Oreal Paris Magic Root Rescue 10 Minute Root Hair Coloring Kit, Permanent Color with Quick Precision Applicator, 100 percent Gray Coverage, 4 Dark Brown, 1 kit (Packaging May Vary) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/13828240-john-frieda-precision-foam-colour-dark-natural-brown-4n-1](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/13828240-john-frieda-precision-foam-colour-dark-natural-brown-4n-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
