PHYTOCOLOR 5.3 CHÂTAIN CLAIR D

PHYTOCOLOR 5.3 Light Golden Brown is a permanent hair colour for people seeking an intense, warm and long-lasting light brown shade with radiant golden highlights and reliable grey hair coverage.

The number 5.3 represents a light brown base with a warm golden reflection. The shade is warmer than neutral shade 5 Light Brown and deeper and darker than shade 6.3 Dark Golden Blonde. It is not the right choice when a cool, ash or neutral brown result is desired.

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 luminous golden 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 natural hair colour, previous chemical treatments, hair porosity and percentage of grey hair.
