Herbatint Permanent Herbal Haircolor Gel, 4C Ash Chestnut, 4 Ounce

Actually covers my stubborn gray. Used it as a root touch up. It said not to leave it on past the suggested time. I was so reluctant because every other product I use I have to significantly lengthen the time. I was so shocked when I got out and saw every gray covered. I did not follow the instructions about putting all the way through at the end? I pay a stylist a lot of money for that part of my hair so I was scared. I saw another review where someone else has been using this product for 20 years and they only do the roots. Couldn’t be happier. I was so excited I wrote this before my hair dried. Will update if needed but the color looks good right now.

The ash chestnut came out as dark black - I look like a witch!

I love it because it covers the gray hair very well, it is not echoey, and it doesn’t fade fast. Please do not change the ingredients and do not stop making it. This is the best product i have ever used and love so far. Thank you for the best product that you have put in the market. 👍🏼🙏

Upon opening the product, I noticed that no shaker bottle or mixing container was included. In my experience, similar gel-based hair dyes typically come with one, so I had to improvise and use a small disposable bowl to mix the dye. When dispensing the color, the product initially appeared very red, which made me concerned that the shade would not match the 4C color I purchased. However, once mixed, the color developed into more of a brown tone, so I decided to proceed. One issue I found unpleasant was the scent. The dye has a very earthy smell, and even after drying my hair, the odor remained noticeable. On a positive note, the gray coverage seems effective so far. I’m interested to see how well the color holds up over time before needing another application. Although it says it's natural, it gets a 31/100 rating on the Yuka app.

I love it. I have used all the big box brands forever and now that I am pregnant I needed to tone it down because I know I would not be able to handle the stench from the hair dyes I normally go to. I did some research and found this. Not perfect on chemical free but better than most. I put the hair dye on and much to my surprise, was not blasted with a horrible smell. I actually didnt smell much of anything, which was music to my super sensitive pregnancy nose! Much to my also surprise, this covered all of my grey hair, leaving nothing behind. That NEVER happens with multiple other brands. Usually I can find grey somewhere but this time, total, 100% coverage. I would definitely recommend this product if you have trouble covering and keep color in your dark hair. I got the 4C Ash and just love it. There area few downsides, one is that the time this stays in is longer than most other products, its 30 minutes. The other downside is my hair felt like straw when washing this out. I ended up using my own heavy duty repair conditioner and that did the trick. All in all, the lack of horrible stench and the full grey coverage is exactly what I need so I will recommend this product, particularly to those with sensitive noses.
