    • Works for me.... no allergic reaction to color, covers gray; But need your own Applicator bottle

The color of my hair that you see in the picture I posted is a mix of 70% Herbatint 5N, 25% 6N, and 5% 4C. Photographed with my cheap cell phone in indoor natural light next to a window. I'm sitting on a faded burgundy sheet that covers a window seat. Herbatint does not come with an applicator bottle, so remember to rinse out and save an applicator bottle from the box of whatever brand of color you've been using previously (that's what I did....decades ago, and that bottle is still good to go : ). If you don't have an old applicator bottle lying around, you can always just get an empty re-fill-able (screw top) clear plastic condiment bottle with a pointy lid (the kind you would use for a line of mustard) at a dollar type store. I also always save one of the old, rinsed-out clear "activator" bottles that comes in the Herbatint product box to serve as my proportion mixing bottle for next time. That way I can easily use the nicely marked "ml" or "oz" lines on the bottle to do my own custom mixing. I like to use the "ml" measuring scale (see image I posted of the ml side of the bottle). You'll also need a "rat-tailed comb" to separate your hair, and some kind of flat, wide, narrow brush (like the kind you use in the kitchen to put glaze on breads, or the kind of white-bristled, "paint brush" you might pick up at a Dollar store, dollar tree, whatever. I found the brush I presently use in a dollar store, I think in the kitchen tool area, but also look in the regular "tool" or "household" area for something affordable that can work for you. If you can't get your hands on any of the above, save and use an old toothbrush to be your applicator tool; it's better than nothing for now. An old plastic "stadium cup" can be your mixing bowl if you don't have an applicator bottle. Herbatint does supply cheap, clear plastic gloves in each box, but they're too small for my giant "manual labor" hands, so I just use whatever better "disposable gloves" we have in the house at the time. (See my current color tools, including gloves, in my review picture that has "You Will Also Need" on the top of the image). I started going gray in high school; decades ago, and have been coloring since. Irish genes, stressful life, repeated traumas. I have had to color my hair most of my "adult" life. I also have multiple chemical sensitivity, which has gotten worse over the years, so I can only use products that don't cause my scalp to break out or burn. The Herbatint Color tints (green bottle) and Activator (clear bottle) that you mix with the tint are fine for me, and cause no allergic reactions. However, I can't use the Herbatint conditioner / Creme Rinse / Royal Cream that is supplied in the box. Warning: the conditioner / creme rinse they supply has a very strong fragrance. If you're sensitive to chemicals or fragrance, please patch-test all of the Herbatint products prior to use. I just throw away that little packet of creme rinse crap every time I open a new box of Herbatint. I use my own "fragrance free" conditioner after rinsing the color out with water in the shower. I found the Herbatint line (formerly Antica Herbavita) in a health food store during college, I think, and have been using it to color my increasingly gray (white) hair ever since, and I've never had a problem with any kind of allergic reaction (and I'm highly allergic to most products now; I can't use any fragrance shampoos, etc), and Herbatint's N series colors ALWAYS color my new white roots (and I have to color them every 2 to 3 weeks!) But, I cannot use the Herbatint Conditioner / Royal Creme, nor their shampoo. After nearly 30 years of coloring, Herbatint is still the ONLY hair color I use, or CAN use, as all the other "natural" or health food store brands I've tried have caused mild to sever scalp reactions (one - probably the other best selling nature-tinting brand - burned my scalp so bad that I lost a lot of hair). During my "dating years," I didn't want to look older than my chronological age, and with working full time, and taking care of family members, I no longer had time to do the time consuming and messy "herbal," henna, or coffee tint treatments (where you have to apply the leaf and powder pastes to your warm, moist hair, wrap your head in plastic and sit under a heat blower) that I did in my "youth." Who has 3 hours to a whole day to sit around and WAIT for stubborn white hair to absorb henna or coffee tingeing while there's work, school, and family to care for? And to repeat THAT process every 2-3 weeks as one's white roots come back in? Forget about it! Processes like that are for the wealthy, leisure class...who probably get other people to "do" their hair anyway. Using Herbatint takes, maybe, an hour total out of my life, every two to three weeks. That's do-able. Since you mix the Herbatint color tints (green bottle) and activators (clear bottle) as needed for your color and length of touch up needed, you can save the amount of tint and activator in their separate, resealable bottles for next time. That's affordable, even for a tint-mixer like me :) with shoulder-length hair. I customarily mix my color, shake it up good in my pointy applicator bottle, and apply to all my new white roots first. I let that process for 25-35 minutes, but I don't "drag the color out to the ends" afterwards each time I color. I only do a "drag through" (from the roots to the ends of my hair during the last 5 to 10 minutes of coloring) as needed, when my ends have faded badly or have become brassy from sun-fade. Repeated coloring with any "permanent color," even the most mild brands, like this one, can damage your hair length over time if you're not careful. So be careful, and pay attention to the recommended "wait" (or "processing") times that are recommended in the product instructions that come with the product. Repeated coloring of the same hair for too long, or too often, with any "permanent hair color" (that uses some kind peroxide type "activator") can make your hair brittle, dry, and straw-like after repeatedly coloring of the same hair length, so if you don't want "straw texture" hair, only color your roots when you have to, and only do the "drag through" as needed to "refresh" your color, and for as short a time as possible at the end of your 20-25 minute root color. Your hair beyond your new roots, the length of your hair that "still looks colored" and which has previously been colored during it's "life" on your head, has gotten more brittle and more porous over its life, so it needs far less time to color than your fresh, young, new roots. Be careful, be cautious, stick with the recommended "setting" times, and do not leave permanent color product on your hair any longer than absolutely necessary to achieve the color you want. Any hair coloring "success" and resulting "healthy looking hair," is partially the brand's "fault" and partially the "practitioner's" fault. For the best result, for me, I've found that my hair needs conditioner after I do my color rinse out. As long as I stick to the recommended times, and only do "drag through color" as needed (not each time I color), Herbatint treats my hair well, and I achieve very "natural looking color" and quality of hair for my age (mid fifties). I have changed which Herbatint colors I use as I have aged, and during the times in my life that I've felt differently about how I look. The "harsh" look that a too-dark hair color, or a "way too light" or "too blonde and washed out" color can give to one's appearance, as one's face tans, lightens, or "sags with age," can be very unflattering, or even "shocking." I was born "auburn." I have hazel brown eyes, and NOT the pink and white skin of my freckle-face, red-haired, blue-eyed Mom, but rather the more swarthy and "easy to tan" French people skin of my light brown over hazel brown Dad. Looking at my face, you could easily understand why paler folk may have once called people with similar heritage as mine, "frogs." :) The wrong tint added to my hair color can definitely make my tone skin look even more green-yellow to olive-y than it already is! I used 2 N on my white roots in college (when I was young, and looked young), and that looked awesome then, but as I've gotten older, I've had to lighten up a bit, just to not seem too "harsh" or "severe." During Middle Age (40s), 4N looked more natural, and the sun brought out the red highlights that made me look "natural auburn" again. Any Herbatint "N" series color below 4 N (N, 2N, 3N) can look "magic marker Black" on porous, long-time colored, or "aging" hair, so perhaps don't "drag out" the lower N colors throughout your length every time you color. Herbatint does not really "lift" dark color-treated hair, it only ADDs color to hair, so if you're undecided on which tint (which N color) to choose, go with the lighter choice (the higher N number). If you're wanting light brown, for example, go with "5N" or "6N" rather than 4N. You can always make a light color darker, but it's really, really hard to make a too-dark color lighter again. If you have already gone too dark with an Herbatint color, just wait it out. Herbatint does sun-fade and get a tad bit lighter every time you shampoo, so it will lighten in time; usually before you need to touch up your white root re-growth. Herbatint colors add color, but they don't really "subtract" or "lift" color from previously color-treated hairs, so err to the lighter rather than the darker the first time you choose a new color. It's recommended to use an Herbatint N series color as your base, if you're roots are more white than your former natural color now. The N series has always covered the whites / grays for me. You can highlight an N series to better match your former "natural" color by mixing a high percentage of the N color with a lesser amount of one of the tinting series (R for red highlights, D for Golden, C for "Ash" ). During my middle age, the Golden tints looked appropriate, and I wore a 4D or 5D, depending on the season. Sun fading gave me enough of the auburn-reddish highlights, but in my later 40s to 50s, as the quantity of gray (white) hair overtook the proportion that was still "natural" dark brown color, the Gold ("D") series colors looked too "yellow" or "brassy," and the R series too red for my complexion. Warning on the R series: even the Herbatint hotline ladies recomend "only add a cap full of the "R" series color to your mix the first time." Sage advice. I recently tried a cap of the R, added to 80% 5N, 19% 6N, and my husband said "too red for you." So, be careful with the R series. If you find yourself too Red, then add a bit of a "C" Ash to your next Herbatint mostly "N" based color mix to tone down the Red. If the N series of Herbatint that you like starts looking "too red" or the D tints "too brassy" to you, you can always try to add a bit of the "C" series, the Ash colors, to get your hair back to a more neutral natural color. It worked for me, and seems a better match to my "easily tanned" skin and brown eyes. Sorry this was so long, but I tried to answer most questions I've ever had about Herbatint, and hopefully help out another person with limited funds and limited time to spend on hair color make a more educated decision on where to spend their "hair coloring and time" budget :), and which Herbatint colors / Tints in the series to try. ... show more

    • Where was this in my life before?
Color: 5D Light Golden Chestnut Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
This leaves your hair smooth and silky. Not tangled at all! I cannot believe that it colors your hair so well. I’m stuck with this now forever and would recommend it to anyone who doesn’t want their hair to get damaged and still cover their grays.

    • Nice product. Easy-peasy.
Color: 5N Light Chestnut (5N) Size: 4.56 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
To start with, I had a "professional" hair coloring brush, and honestly that made the color easier to apply, but it couldn't have been simpler to mix the two bottles, stir a bit until the consistency was right, and apply it. The color was perfect, but I knew my color was a 5 from my colorist, so I wasn't too anxious about that. I have to say that if you don't need the whole bottles, it is hard to pour out exactly half of each bottle, even though the directions say to do that. Half or less is easily all I needed since my hair is very short, but to be safe I just poured all of both bottles into my bowl to be sure to have the same amount from each one. There are markings on the bottles, but since they aren't transparent, it would be pretty hard to tell how much I had poured out (unless I'm missing something). I had to throw away quite a bit, so I'll try to figure out a way to do it next time that allows me to measure half of each bottle into a container and keep the remainder for the next time. The price is right, the color is right and the ease of application is right. My hair looks just like it does when my colorist does it (well, I might have missed a spot or two a little, and she never does that) but I'm satisfied, and I will purchase it again. ... show more

    • Great Natural Choice
Color: 5N Light Chestnut (5N) Size: 4.56 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I started using Herbatint when I needed to dye my husbands hair which is black. I had been using a regular dye from the grocery store that had no natural ingredients previously. The first time I used Herbatint and dyed his hair it came out really dark and lasted much longer than the previous non-natural dye. I ended up using a dark brown on him the next time because it worked so well. I started using the Herbatint as well with great long lasting results. I love the light chestnut color it's a natural brown for me. Although next time I am going to try a slightly lighter shade. That is the one important thing to know about this product, the colors come out darker and stick around which is great. I am curious to see how a lighter color will do with this same brand. So this isn't the actual most natural way to color hair but I have tried other natural brands and they really don't work so good. So I feel this product is a great balance of natural and long lasting color results. I love it! ... show more

    • Wasn't so sure about it at first, but it works like magic!
Color: 7D Golden Blonde Size: 4.56 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I dyed my whole head blue a couple months ago, and it faded back to the color I bleached my hair (light brown with some blond highlights) I was sick of it and missed my old hair color, so i decidedto give hernitant's 7D (golden blond) a try. tAt first, I didnt think this product would work. Once I mixed the color and the developer to make the gel, it looked super diluted. I decided to try it anyway. It was just enough due to cover my just below shoulder length hair (I also have side bangs, so if you have you dont, it will probably dye shoulder length hair) I put a bag over it and let it sit for the 40min instructed on the box. Just a little warning: the chemical reaction maked my hair kinda un-naturally warm during the dying process, but it stops once you rinse your hair out. When i rinsed it out, i gave a little WHOOP! because i didnt see any blond highlights. My hair is really close to the color it used to be before I dyed my hair blue! I LOVE it. The only thing I have to complain about this color is that it has just the slightest hint of orangy-red in it, but it is barely noticeable. I will definatly buy this product again and I highly recommend it! ... show more
