Herbatint is an ammonia-free permanent hair colour made in Italy, with a wide numbered shade range from 1N Black through to the blondes, including 5N Light Chestnut. Free UK delivery on orders over £40 from Quickvit.
Herbatint is an Italian permanent hair colour that has been made since the 1970s. It is formulated without ammonia and uses herbal extracts alongside the colourants, which is why it sits on a health store shelf rather than a supermarket one.
Shades are numbered on the standard convention, which makes reordering straightforward once you know your number. Each kit contains the gel colourant, developer and aftercare.
The permanent range runs from 1N Black and 3N Dark Chestnut through the browns and chestnuts up to the blondes, with N shades for natural results and other series for ash, gold and copper tones.
Lower numbers are darker, higher numbers lighter. Shades can be mixed to fine-tune a result, which is common practice with this range.
We keep a wide spread of shades rather than only the fastest sellers, so the less common numbers are usually in stock. If your shade is not showing, ring us on 01323 928523.
Free UK delivery on orders over £40, with orders placed before midday Monday to Friday aimed for same-day dispatch.

Carry out the allergy alert test 48 hours before every application, including if you have coloured your hair before. Sensitivity can develop at any time, so this applies even to a shade you have used for years. Full instructions are in the pack.
Do not colour your hair if you have ever had a reaction to a hair colourant, or to a black henna temporary tattoo. Wear the gloves provided, follow the timings in the leaflet, and do not use on eyebrows or eyelashes.
FAQ
Does Herbatint contain ammonia?
No, it is formulated without ammonia. Full ingredients are listed on each pack.
Do I need to do a skin test every time?
Yes. The allergy alert test should be done 48 hours before every application, even with a shade you have used before, because sensitivity can develop at any point.
Will it cover grey?
The permanent range is designed to cover grey. How well it takes depends on how much grey you have and your hair texture.
How do I choose a shade?
Lower numbers are darker, higher lighter. If you are between shades, going slightly darker is the safer choice. The pack shows expected results on different starting colours.
Can I mix two shades?
Yes, that is common with this range for fine-tuning a tone. Follow the mixing guidance in the leaflet.
