FAQs

Can I reuse the leftover hair colour mixture?

Yes, unmixed colour and developer can be stored and reused for up to twelve months after opening, provided they are kept in their original, tightly sealed containers and stored in a cool, dark place.

How long should I leave the hair colour on?

The development time can vary. Always refer to the specific instructions included in your Herbatint product box, as it typically ranges from 30 to 40 minutes, but may differ based on application and desired results.

Is Herbatint suitable for grey hair?

Herbatint offers good coverage for grey hair, but results can vary depending on the hair's texture and resistance. For very resistant grey hair, results may be more subtle. A strand test is recommended.

Do I need to do a patch test?

Yes, a skin sensitivity test and a strand test are highly recommended 48 hours before each application to check for any adverse reactions and to preview the colour result on your hair.

What is the PPD concentration in Herbatint?

Herbatint contains a small amount of PPD (p-phenylenediamine), which is well below the levels allowed by EC regulations, making it a lower-risk option compared to many other permanent hair dyes.

Can I use Herbatint on chemically treated hair?

Herbatint can be used on previously coloured hair. However, it is not recommended for use on hair that has been recently bleached, highlighted, or chemically straightened, as this can affect the outcome and potentially damage the hair.

How do I store the unmixed product?

Store unmixed colour and developer in their original, tightly sealed packaging in a cool, dark place, away from heat and direct sunlight. Make sure to note the date of opening to track the 12-month usability period.

Troubleshooting

Skin irritation or allergic reaction

Immediately rinse hair and scalp with cool water. Do not use the product. Consult a healthcare professional. A patch test 48 hours prior to application is crucial to prevent this.

Uneven colour application or patchy results

Ensure hair was thoroughly saturated during application. Check that the correct mixing ratio was used and that the product was left on for the recommended time. For future applications, focus on even distribution and consider a strand test first.

Colour not developing as expected (too light or too dark)

Results can vary based on original hair colour and porosity. Always perform a strand test before full application to predict the outcome. Ensure developer and colour are within their expiry dates and properly mixed.

Product is difficult to mix or apply

Ensure you are using a non-metallic bowl and applicator. Follow the mixing instructions precisely. If the mixture is too thick, a tiny amount of water can sometimes help, but consult instructions first.

Unmixed product stored but separated or solidified

This indicates the product may have been exposed to air or improper storage conditions. Do not use if separation or solidification occurs. Always ensure the original caps are tightly sealed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Gentle on hair and scalp due to its ammonia-free, alcohol-free, and fragrance-free formula.
  • Enriched with natural herbal extracts that nourish and protect.
  • Allows for reuse of unmixed product, making it economical and eco-friendly.
  • Achieves a natural, subtle colour result.
  • Low concentration of hydrogen peroxide contributes to a gentler experience.

Cons

  • May not provide significant grey coverage on very resistant grey hair.
  • Requires careful adherence to instructions for optimal and safe results.
  • The 12-month reusability window requires proper storage and tracking.
  • Results can vary based on the original hair colour and condition.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Read the instruction leaflet thoroughly. Wear protective gloves. Cover shoulders with an old towel. Apply a barrier cream around the hairline to prevent skin staining.
  2. Mixing: In a non-metallic bowl, combine the correct ratio of hair colour gel and developer (refer to the enclosed instructions). Mix thoroughly with an applicator brush until a uniform gel consistency is achieved.
  3. Application: Apply the mixture evenly to dry, unwashed hair, starting with the roots and working through to the ends. Ensure all hair is saturated.
  4. Development Time: Leave the colour on for the time specified in the instructions (typically 30-40 minutes, but always check the leaflet for precise timing based on your needs).
  5. Rinsing: Rinse hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Shampoo gently, then rinse again.
  6. Conditioning: Apply the provided conditioner, leave for a few minutes, and rinse. This helps to seal the colour and restore moisture.

Compatibility:

Herbatint is generally suitable for most hair types and can be used on previously coloured hair. However, it is always recommended to perform a strand test and a skin sensitivity test 48 hours before use, especially if you have sensitive skin or have experienced reactions to hair dyes in the past. It is not recommended for use on hair that has been bleached, highlighted, or chemically straightened recently.

Care:

  • To maintain colour vibrancy, use shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for coloured hair.
  • Avoid washing hair daily; opt for every 2-3 days.
  • Protect hair from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh environmental conditions.
  • Store unmixed product in its original, tightly sealed packaging in a cool, dark place, away from heat and direct sunlight. Ensure you note the date of opening to track the 12-month usability.
