Phytocolor Permanent Hair Color with Botanical Pigments, 100% Grey Hair Coverage, Ammonia-free, PPD-free, Resorcin-free, 0.42 oz

I am so happy a friend told me about this product. It smells so good, unlike most hair coloring products that reek of chemicals. I can tell it's made from gentler, natural products because it didn't burn my eyes when I was washing it out. Even with eyes closed, you always end up getting some into your eyes (especially if you're rinsing in the shower) and with other products my eyes would burn really badly. It also did a good job with gray coverage but you do need to keep it on for the full 45 minutes indicated in the directions if you have gray hair. The color does come out slightly darker than what I expected - so the level 4 in this product is probably closer to what you'd expect from a 3. It didn't bother me, but I would suggest you start out a level lighter than you normally would the first time just to be safe.

PHYTO Phytocolor Permanent Hair Color really impressed me. The color came out rich, natural-looking, and even, and my hair actually felt soft and healthy afterward instead of dry or damaged like with many other permanent dyes. I also appreciated that the formula felt gentler on my scalp and didn’t have the overwhelming chemical smell that a lot of hair color products have. The application process was straightforward, and the results looked salon-quality at home. Great coverage, beautiful shine, and overall a much better experience than most boxed hair dyes I’ve tried.

I thought I was buying a superior product. My husband applied it #9 to my roots, then covered all my hair. My hair is now a bit brassy after the 40 minute application. I didn't have much dyed hair, it was mostly light brown and grey. I now have ordered a rinse to tone it down. I expected a bigger change.

Ok, first about the color. I think my conclusion is that the colors are just gonna come out a bit differently on different people's hair and you may have to try different ones til you find the one that works for you. I went with 5.7 light chestnut brown, and it turned out a DARK, chocolate brown. I purposefully didn't go with the chestnut brown because of the reviews, thinking the *light* chestnut brown would be more like a medium brown, but it was definitely dark brown for me (darker than pics of the same color for some others). Not bad, thankfully I look okay with a darker hue, but I'm gonna progressively try lighter shades until I get to the one I actually want. Regarding coverage, I'd say the grey coverage is very good. There are always a sneaky few that I somehow miss, but otherwise it covered my roots well. The formula is definitely not too drying. I used a different brand before (with ammonia) and it took a couple weeks for my hair to get back to a normal moisture level, after very dedicated conditioning and moisturizers. Phyto didn't dry my hair out at all, so that was really great, especially as a curly haired gal. I am disappointed by one thing, though. The other brand I tried before, with ammonia), resulted in my hair falling out in larger amounts than my non-colored hair. I read that that's a pretty common result of the chemicals, so that's why I wanted to try Phyto to see if it would be different. So far it hasn't improved, though - my hair is still falling out at the same larger amount. I'm hopeful this may still improve in time, but it may be that Phyto is no different in that way. Still a great product, though, and I like that it seems to be gentler chemicals, so I will continue to use and work on finding the best color for me.

I hardly ever write reviews anymore but I am so impressed with this product! I have gotten may hair dyed at a salon a couple of times but I just didn’t want to spend that much money every 6 weeks, so I have been looking for a “holy grail” hair dye. I had tried Olia from the store & it did nothing to my grays. Then I tried a color depositing conditioner, and it also did nothing. I have maybe 20% grays in my late thirties and I have been wanting to find something I can do at home. This dye comes with a bottle with a nozzle on it, which. made it easy to apply with precision anywhere I wanted it to go. I also got a hair dye brush to help paint it onto certain areas (highly recommend if you are dyeing hair at home). You mix the creme with the activator, shake, & it turns to a light brown shade so you know it’s ready to use. After you let it sit and you’re ready to rinse, the directions say to add a small amount of water FIRST, rub your head and let the product create a lather, then rinse and add the amazing smelling hair protecting mask and riinse immediately (for thiose who don’t read directions, this is a crucial step). It was the perfect consistency, not drippy and not foam and it did not smell bad or burn my scalp. I left it on about 35 minutes and I am so happy it covered my grays. It also has a very multifaceted color in the sun, much like the Feria hair dye I used to use in my 20’s, which was definitely NOT non-toxic. There are definitely some auburn tones. The color I chose was Intense Chestnut brown and it was perfect for my very dark brown hair that already has red tones in the sun. It matches my color perfectly, which is difficult to do. Overall the ease of use, price, and the fact that this is ammonia-free, made 70% with botanicals, and gentle on the scalp make this a product I will recommend to everyone I know. The hair protecting mask that came in the box smelled absolutely amazing and took it to the next level, making it a spa like experience. 10/10. 5 stars. Amazing, natural, nourishing hair dye.

Intense chestnut brown is a good shade for naturally black hair that shines copper or reddish in sunlight. The undertone will be an ever so slightly cooler red but definitely not too cool. Looks natural. From the reviews I have read, if you use shade numbers lower than those in the 4s, even on naturally black hair, it will be very dark and perhaps unnatural looking. YMMV, especially if you are starting with lighter hair or if you have already dyed your hair. I picked this hair dye because it is top rated - IIRC by Good Housekeeping. I'm also a previous user of Phyto products like Defrisant. Not an easy to find product in the US AFAIK. I like my natural hair color and didn't want to dye my hair...until I had streaks of grey at my temples. It's not much but noticeable when I put my reading or sunglasses on my head. Easy to use. Covered my greys. (I have only seen two very, very short regrowing grey hairs that I plucked that didn't take the color, probably because they are so short and didn't get enough dye on them.) Understanding hair color for a novice can be tough. I know people in the hair business and still can't quite wrap my head around translating color theory to match my natural hair's undertones by using the stuff at, say, Sally's. I'm looking for a box dye that takes the guess work out of shade mixing. Phyto appears to have my back. I'll repost if the grey coverage doesn't last, the color turns weird after many washes, etc.

Subpar gray coverage and color faded quickly.

The directions states that you do not use a shampoo to wash your hair instead the cream that has inside the box to hold the color. Make sure your hair is clean applying this color, if you decide to try it. After shower it looks great, colors the whites, but it doesnt stay. I didnt wash my hair for a week (im a mom) and when i washed my hair first time after the first wash off, i used a shampoo that is color safe, worked great with my other hair colors in the past, it was washing off the color, i could see slight brown. Then my roots i had colored is ligher, it is washed off. I am not going to buy it again. I will try another brand. The reason for a 2 star, instead of 1, because it didnt burn my roots, and didnt make my hair fall out, (i know i have low standards)
