As you know by now, I am an Herbatint Permanent Hair Color convert. I love this Italian haircare brand so much, and I don't ever see using another brand again. I was delighted to discover them on sale on Amazon, and promptly bought 4 boxes, and will probably go back for more. Here is my review, if you want to know more about their permanent hair color. 
 

Herbatint Permanent Hair Color Gel Review

Purchased (Affiliate Links)

For many years I used drugstore brand at-home hair dyes, but the last couple of times that I did I noticed that my scalp became dry and irritated. I decided to try something a little different, and I kept seeing Herbatint Permanent Hair Color Gel, and I decided to try it. This Italian brand, founded in 1970, is cruelty-free, vegan and it has a wide range of colors from which to choose. I have naturally curly dark brown hair that naturally lightens up in the summer, and therefore during the cooler months I tried their Light Chestnut 5N, and for the summer I tried their Light Golden Chestnut 5D, and both are stunning shades.

When I used Light Chestnut 5N, I mixed the hair color gel and the developer until it became a thick gel that was uniform in color. I carefully brushed it from roots to tips and then left it on for 40 minutes. This formula was tested on sensitive skin, and it definitely did not irritate, burn or tingle my scalp. I rinsed it out after 40 minutes and then applied their wonderful Royal Cream Conditioner– which comes with the hair color. This conditioner is lightweight and yet incredibly emollient and moisturizing. When I was done my hair was uniformly a gorgeous chestnut shade, but it was darker than on the box since my hair was quite dark to start with. 

The next time I colored my hair, I used their Light Golden Chestnut 5D, and this lighter shade is a perfect fit for my hair during the summer. This adds a bit more depth of color, but with a slightly lighter hue with a very faint golden sensibility. 

This formula neither dries out my scalp, nor my hair, and the color lasts for a few months before I need a touch up.

Herbatint encourages mixing shades to customize your hair color, and they also suggest that you can mix up just a small amount if you only need to do root-touch up. Whether you have any grey hair you seek to cover, or just roots that differ from the rest of your color, then just doing a root touch-up makes a lot of sense. I don't have much grey hair, but there are some strands here and there, and this does an excellent job of covering them.

About Herbatint,

Herbatint, the main brand of Antica Erboristeria, was founded in 1970 following a brilliant intuition of its founder, the herbalist Michele Albergo, who focused his research on a coloring formula that could combine product efficacy with hair and skin health. Thanks to his outstanding knowledge of medicinal herbs, starting from formulations based on herbal extracts, he progressively reduced the percentage of chemical ingredients, including hydrogen peroxide.

 

Michele Albergo was strongly influenced by the Swiss herbalist with whom he had carried out his apprenticeship when he was young. He applied the knowledge gained, which had been passed down from generation to generation, in the production of Herbatint’s formulas. Thus, in a sector dominated by large multinational companies producing ammonia-based hair coloring, aimed only at product performance, Antica Erboristeria introduced a totally innovative formula: a permanent hair coloring containing herbal extracts without the use of ammonia and with a very low percentage of hydrogen peroxide. 

About the N and D Shades:

The N (Natural) Series shades color your hair while creating a natural, even color. Thanks to a consistent and odorless formula, Herbatint Permanent Hair Color Gel is easy to mix and apply, proving perfect results in just 40 minutes, every time! Herbatint’s gentle formula allows you to lighten your natural hair color up to a maximum of 2 shades.

The D (Golden) shade offers golden blond or brown highlights, depending on the degree of shade choice. Choose it for an intense, bright and natural result. Thanks to a consistent and odorless formula, Herbatint Haircolor Gel is easy to mix and apply, providing perfect results in just 40 minutes, every time! Herbatint’s gentle formula allows you to lighten your natural hair color up to a maximum of 2 shades.

Features:

• Dermatologically tested for sensitive skin.
• Gentle formula without ammonia, parabens and alcohol fragrance free.
• 8 Organic herbal extracts.
• A gel formula, easy to apply.
• 36 Mixable shades – can be mixed to create customized colors.

CONTENTS:

• *Gloves and instructions also included. Application kit sold separately.

Before coloring your hair do the following:

Sensitvity Test: Since the product may cause skin irritation on certain individuals, a preliminary sensitivity test should be performed. Click here to learn how to take a sensitivity test at home.

Color Strand Test: Herbatint recommends that you test the color on a part of your hair that contains the colors you want to cover. By doing a color strand test, it ensures you get that you get the first look of your desired color. 

IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Since Herbatint uses the most gentle formula possible, our product will only lift about one shade.  Herbatint is not capable of lifting multiple shades, so it is important to choose a color within one shade of your normal color, when going lighter.

Directions: To mix Herbatint Gel and Developer, use the Herbatint measuring cup found in the Herbatint Application Kit to mix equal parts of color and developer. The quantity you use depends on the length and volume of your hair. Note: If you don’t own an Application Kit, you can use a plastic or glass measuring cup, but NEVER use a metal measuring device.

Mix with a brush until you obtain a gel-like consistency. Starting at the root, apply the gel to dry, unwashed hair. Tilt your head back while you rinse so that the gel does not get into your eyes.

Once processed, rinse hair thoroughly until the water runs clear. Rinse by tilting head back (Do NOT use shampoo for 48 hours).

Overall Assessment: I am so happy that I tried Herbatint Permanent Hair Color Gel, and it is definitely the nicest home hair color that I have tried. I already purchased 3 more boxes in Light Golden Chestnut 5D when I found them on sale! A+

I don't know why I have never mentioned the Revlon Colorsilk Beautiful Color Permanent Hair Color before, because I have been buying it for years and years. I generally use it at the end of the summer because each year my dark brown hair, which is naturally the color of the woman's hair on the box above (Shade 30 Dark Brown), gets sun bleached to a reddened brown. While I like that color, I tend to want my natural color back in the fall and winter months. This hair color is easy to use, it is very inexpensive and it often goes on sale. If you are not accustomed to coloring your own hair, then this probably isn't for you, but if you are–  then you might want to give Revlon Colorsilk Beautiful Color Permanent Hair Color a try.

Strawberry Leopard Hair Color Includes Pantone Color of the Year 2022 in Very Peri!

Press Sample (Affiliated Links)

Pantone’s New Color of the Year 2022, Very Peri, is a highly anticipated color for hair this year. If you are looking for a fun shade for your tresses to ring in the new year, then check out Strawberry Leopard, a cruelty-free, vegan, at-home semi-permanent hair color collection. They have 18 shades that are designed to be custom blended so you can create your own signature color!

Source

It’s no surprise that the new Pantone Color of the Year for 2022 is Very Peri. Inquisitive and intriguing, Very Peri embraces the altered landscape, opening us to new visions as we rewrite our lives. The Gen-Z customer, which declares blonde hair as“”cheugy,” and wants to stand out through their own standard of beauty, has been ahead of the curve by going purple! Strawberry Leopard's purple shades including Grapeful, Prismatic Purple, Orchid U Not and Lilac Glow.

At home hair color sales have increased dramatically during the pandemic and Gen-Z is a huge part of this growth with rainbow colors. There’s more than one reason for the popularity of purple. For one thing, it’s very fashion-forward. Models are wearing shades from platinum lavender and lilac to African Violet. You’re definitely making a statement that you’re non-traditional when you go purple. 

Purple is often seen as the “gateway” shade and the most popular shade for garnering likes on social media. It works really well on darker shades of hair such as brunettes, the most common hair color. One of the benefits is that It fades out really nicely and you can experience various shades without a total hair redo. On lighter hair colors such as blonde and platinum, you have the advantage of your purple strands fading to a lighter and attractive new shade without any brassiness, similar to the benefits achieved with purple shampoo. If you’re timid to go bold purple, try just a strip of a lilac hue to get in on the fun!

Celebs everywhere are going Pink and Vibrant! While JLo, Chrissy Teigen and Taylor Swift are sporting their new pink hues, Gigi Hadid, Ariel Winter and Haley Kiyoko are picking up on vibrant red/orange hair colors. Inspired by the true and rare Strawberry Leopards in the world, Strawberry Leopard conditioner-based hair color allows you to be rare and unique with their easy to use, no-fuss application and easily blendable formulas!

Strawberry Leopard is one of the few hair semi-permanent vivid hair colors infused with a proprietary bonding technology, rich rice proteins, amino acids, Vitamin B5, Mango Oil and Shea Butter to repair and strengthen hair while coloring, and keeping it healthy and hydrated.

Overall Assessment: This is such a fun way to get creative with your hair in 2022!

Strawberry Leopard shades cost $15.59-$16.49 each and are available from www.strawberryleopardhair.com and Sally Beauty online and in-stores nationwide (Affiliate Links).
