PHYTOCOLOR 3 CHÂTAIN FONC

PHYTOCOLOR 3 Dark Brown is a permanent hair colour for people seeking a deep, even and long-lasting natural dark brown shade with reliable grey hair coverage.

The number 3 represents a natural dark brown base without a specifically pronounced golden, copper, red or chestnut reflection. The shade is one level darker than PHYTOCOLOR 4 Brown, while remaining lighter and more naturally brown than PHYTOCOLOR 1 Black.

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, natural-looking and multidimensional colour with radiant highlights.

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.
