PHYTOCOLOR 1 NOIR

PHYTOCOLOR 1 Black is a permanent hair colour for people seeking an intense, deep and long-lasting natural black shade with reliable grey hair coverage.

The number 1 represents the darkest shade in the natural hair colour scale. It creates an intense black result without a specifically pronounced blue, violet, red or chestnut reflection. Compared with PHYTOCOLOR 3 Dark Brown, shade 1 is considerably darker and creates a more pronounced black result.

The formula is enriched with botanical pigments derived from five selected tinctorial plants. A combination of at least seven pigments per shade helps create intense, even and multidimensional colour with natural-looking shine.

Jojoba and Monoï oils help support shine, softness and a better-cared-for appearance after colouring. Jujube bark extract and Epaline™, or oxidised corn oil, help support scalp comfort during application.

The current formula contains 81% ingredients of natural origin and is ammonia-free and silicone-free. The final result depends on the starting colour, previous chemical treatments, hair porosity and percentage of grey hair.
