People who have given up on home colour usually did so because of the scalp. This formula leaves out the three ingredients most often behind that - ammonia, resorcinol and parabens - which is why it is workable for sensitive scalps, and why there is very little smell while it develops.
8N is a soft light blonde with a neutral base and a touch of natural warmth, bright without going brassy. It refreshes an existing blonde as readily as it covers grey.
What comes in the box is a five-step system: Clarify Shampoo to strip residue before you start, the colour gel, a Colour Fix, then a Hydrate Organic Shampoo and Conditioner. Over 75% of the ingredients are certified organic and natural, with organic aloe vera leaf, comfrey leaf, chamomile flower and grapefruit fruit extracts running through, plus hydrolysed wheat protein and vitamin E in the colour gel and shea butter, sweet almond and jojoba oils in the conditioner.
Do a strand and sensitivity test, then apply to dry hair from roots to ends, leave 30 to 40 minutes, rinse until clear and finish with the shampoo and conditioner. Patch test 48 hours before each use. Vegan, cruelty free and sustainably packaged.
