Herbatint | Hair Dye 1N Black

This is a good product leaves hair feeling in good condition, colour lasts , and covers well

So far I'm very impressed! The application was easy and not as messy. The formula was a gel like formula which was easy to apply to my roots. The colour has come out nice and strong covering all my horrid greys! Yay! I have extremely stubborn greys and I was very skeptical at first since other hair dyes have not lived up to their expectations/promises. I took a chance on this dye given it's qualities and gentle options. Although the packaging is very 1920s! Never judge a book by it's cover 📔 I'm glad I bought it and tried it.

Wonderful product! I was nervous as my hair is a lot of grey and dark plus bleached areas, I have tried many products to cover the grey nothing worked, I wanted natural no amonia because the hair is damaged. I am so happy, it has brought my hair back to the closest natural original colour and I covered ALL grey! I will never use anything else on my hair again, so happy! 2 Before and after photos. It blended in with the lighter parts I had highlighted previously which were too blonde, it covered the horrible grey and lighted the orangey and very dark areas.

I read lots of reviews and did research before buying this product. This is my 3rd box and I think I finally found the right one. I start with the cons. The colours are very dark. I am normally medium/dark brown but I have to use 5N (Light Chestnut) because darker colours coming out black. This one seems to be a very good match. During colouring, cover well yourself and everything around you. It's a gel consistency so it splashes easily and leaves stains. Even removing from skin is difficult. Thankfully there are pros too. It covers grey hair beautifully and washes off evenly and slowly. I like the idea of mixing liquids myself because I can keep it for later. I just cover my roots so the one box last for 3 times for me which comes out cheaper then buying new product all the time. After washing out the colour, my hair feel very dry but they are nice and soft after conditioning. I like to do deep conditioning afterwards and my hair are soft, shiny and looking very healthy. They are naturally curly and the colourant doesn't affect my curls. The best pros is, that includes lots of herbals and less chemicals then other colourants. I will continue buying Herbatint and maybe will try mixing some colours for different effect.

I don’t write reviews, but I was very impressed with this dye, and hopefully it will help someone else who is looking into a more natural alternative to colouring their hair. Grey coverage is really good, personally I think better than the standard ammonia box dyes. My hair is really shiny after using. No smell to the product; standard box dyes make me feel dizzy. One box did full coverage of my mid-length hair. If I was just doing roots then I think you could get 2-3 applications from it. Only downside is it’s a little darker than I would’ve preferred, and shade range is a little limited, but overall I am really pleased with this product and happy that I found a more natural alternative!

I've been dyeing my hair myself for many years. I bought the colour 7D golden blond hoping for a subtle change on my mid brown hair. I was led to believe it would look like the colour on the pack or maybe a bit darker. After using it my hair is now a shocking bright orange. I will never buy this brand again.

Overall I am pleased with the product. After reading sone comments, I left it longer to make sure my greys are covered (1.5h). It was gentle to my scalp and no itchiness. As you can see in the photos, the shade/tone depends on lighting. From my experience, bronze shades always had some orange undertones visible in the sunlight! I also bleached my hair before so sometimes I use tonning purple shampoo & conditioner to reduce any brassiness.

Pros - it smells less chemical than other dyes- the colours these dyes produce are very natural looking if that’s important to you- you can mix it in batches and use as you need, good for top upsCons- my biggest issue with these is they are advertising them as 100% grey cover, but in the actual leaflet it says you need to mix them with a corresponding one from their range to get that, I’ve bought 4 now and did eventually get good cover but not very happy I had to do that. Seems misleading- the colour and on the box are nothing like the colour you get, the blondes are brown. My hair is light, so it’s not about the base colour. They need to change the description- you need to buy your own kit to mix and apply, in theory you can use the cap to measure, but I found this inaccurate- it’s really messy! I found stains halfway across the bathroom because it’s a very watery consistencyOverall I loved the idea of these, less chemical, mix as you need etc but I’ve found it a faff and have spent a lot of money trying to get it right. Back to other brands for me unfortunately
