I am on transplant drugs and have very fine hair. Herbatint uses no ammonia and leaves my hair beautiful and full of shine. The colors are very true and long lasting and covers every bit of my gray. It must be doing a great job because people are always asking me who does my hair. I would highly recommend this product. From Connecticut

I discovered Herbatint as I asked which was the best selling hair colour brand in France as the women always look good My natural colour is Chesnut but I'd been Extra Light Ash Blonde then Ash Blonde in the summer and it looked dull, lack lustre and I'd been advised to use Ash as I have red tones in my hair. Today it arrived from Amazon 7D Golden Blonde, does say colour will change at end of process- i was a bit shocked as when i mixed it it was a henna orange colour. Trusting the reviews I did it and waited only 10 minutes and the result is AMAZING !! It's so soft, the colour is beautiful and no horrible smells. Well done Herbatin I will be loyal to you from now on Good Job !!

Fed up with my heavily highlighted and very blonde hair (not to mention over processed) I decided I needed to opt for a more simple and gentle colouring regime. I have always loved red hair but thought there was no way I could go from bleach blonde to red at home - how wrong I was. Herbatint was recommended to me by a friend and as per her suggestion I contacted them to ask for advice. After a couple of conversations/emails and assurances I would be fine to use the colour (but with emphasis on doing a strand test first) I decided to go for it. I chose FF1 Henna Red and 6N Blonde. I mixed 10 ml of the blonde with the red and hey presto, 40 mins later I was left with perfectly coloured and very beautiful red hair. No frazzled ends, no colour 'leakage' from the blonde, no patchiness - just great colour and even coverage. Over the years I have used practically every well-known brand of hair colour on the market with varying success. I have put up with awful chemical smells and poor results - but not with Herbatint. No smell, no hasle just lovely shiny and soft hair. I have already purchased a couple more boxes to keep in the cupboard.

I use this on one of my clients. We use 5N at the regrowth to cover her gray, and then tone her highlights with 7R. Her hair always looks great!

I found this review page by chance and I was fascinated by the comments. I am a supplier of Herbatint to the UK market and I have been for 23 years. I noted one or two reviews that said,'it didn't work...''. Herbatint ALWAYS works but, as with any hair colour, you have to know some basic rules first. I noted one reviewer said they put 6N on bright blonde hair and it'went green''. Of course it would. Why wouldn't it? One of the basic rules of colouring hair or even painting a wall is to know which colours oppose each other, ie red is opposite to green. Remember your art classes from primary school. The use of colour is just about as simple as it can be. However, in the UK, Herbatint has a FREEPHONE Helpline dedicated to these questions which is printed on all the boxes and leaflets that we produce. If using for the first time it is always a good idea to read the information and, if still unsure, then call the Helpline PRIOR to colouring. It is a sad fact that some people will colour first, realise there's a problem and immediately blame the product. A bad workman....etc! Incidentally, correcting green hair is a very simple procedure (not that your hairdresser will tell you that!). Please look at the UK website for more in-depth information on colouring your hair,www.herbatint.co.uk and if you would like a salon to do it for you visit www.colourherbe.co.uk. Keep the comments coming as it is good to see so many satisfied customers. Oh, by the way, unlike the major colour companies Herbatint and Colour Herbe have NEVER harmed an animal in development.

I have been using Herbatint for quite a few years and always have great result. Love colour 5M Light Mahogony Chesnut. Only problem now I am finding it hard to get at health food outlets in New South Wales.

I have been using for a couple of years now, recommended by a friend. The results are always brilliant. It is economical because you can mix as much or as little as you like. I normally get 3 colourings out of a box, most of the time I mix 7d and 7n, covers greays and although a tad dark to begin with settles down to a great natural looking shade.
Brilliant trying to persade my salon to use it.

What a fantastic product! No smell, no itching. Colour was fantastic - dark chestnut. Had previously tried an all natural hair colour which only slightly stained my grey hairs. Herbatint has completely covered them and has left my hair very shiny and looking great. Have recommended to friends.

I used a lightener to make my hair go 4 shades lighter but it made my hair look absaloutly awful it was bright yellow and it was discusting. So I tried Herbatint 8N and it turned my hair into a gorgeous colour and I am so happy about it! THANKYOU HERBATINT!!!! Most hair colours make my scalp really itchy also but this didn't make it itchy. I would difenatley Recomend this to a friend.

I am a black female with jherri curl hair.And presently I have completely dyed my hair with herbatint hair color.First of all any product works best when used in conjuction with other products.My hair is healthy,but it was already healthy before I applied the herbatint hair colour,but if I am not mistaken,I do so beleive that the herbatint have contributed greatly to the texture and health of my hair.Yes my hair has been chemically altererd which automatically changed my hair texture,but when I use the herbatint hair color,my hair was significantly softer,and bouncier,and shiny(shimmery).And the Royal Cream Conditioner is absolutely amazing.It is truly a blessing to finally find a hair color product,that actually makes my hair incredibly softer,as appose to having it really dry.Helpful hints.Washing hair at least a day before colouring is highly recommended.Also always make sure your hair is kept very moisturize(not necessarily greasy)especially when hair is coloured.Also use shampoos,conditioner,ect which does not prematurely stripped color from the hair.I truly believe that herbatint is a much safer alternative.

I switched to this colour product because I couldn't tolerate the smell and itchy scalp after using other products. I find it very gentle and not at all smelly - I can colour my hair without having to open every window in the house. The results are awesome and it lasts as long as salon colours. The colours tend to run a bit dark, which is fine for me because my natural colour is dark brunette, but if you're very blonde you might find that even the blonde colours are too dark. I highly recommend this product.

I have been colouring my hair for 40 years............ I WISH I found Herbatint Herbal Hair Colour a very long time ago............I love it!
Do call them before you buy just to make sure you are doing it right. They are very helpful.

Should be advertised more, it's about time people stop using the horrid animal tested products made by the biog companies, I am pretty positive, once they tried it, they will never go back to the old ones.

Did it bring out the red tones in your hair though? I used a 7N ash I think and it really brought out my red tones, I was so disappointed.
