PHYTOCOLOR 5 CHÂTAIN CLAIR

PHYTOCOLOR 5 Light Brown is a permanent hair colour for people seeking an even, intense and long-lasting natural light brown shade with reliable grey hair coverage.

The number 5 represents a natural light brown base without a specifically pronounced golden, chestnut, copper or red reflection. The shade is more neutral than PHYTOCOLOR 5.3, which creates golden highlights, and 5.7, which has a more pronounced chestnut-brown character.

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 leave the hair looking shinier, softer and better cared for 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.
