How does this color perform on stubborn grey hair?

The formula is made to cover grey from the first application, depositing pigment deep into the fiber for full, even coverage. Users report uniform tone from roots to ends when directions are followed, with durable hold across multiple washes.

• 100% grey coverage claimed in shade 5.7 Light Chestnut Brown.
• Plant pigments bond to hair structure for full deposit.
• Includes a mask to seal cuticles and boost longevity.
• Apply and develop according to leaflet for best results.

Is PHYTO Phytocolor gentle on scalp and hair?

This permanent dye is formulated without ammonia, PPD and resorcinol to reduce irritants and strong odors commonly associated with salon dyes. While gentler than many traditional permanent colors, a sensitivity patch test 48 hours before use is recommended for anyone with reactive skin.

• Ammonia‑free for less harsh smell during application.
• PPD‑ and resorcinol‑free to limit common irritants.
• Includes a color‑protecting mask to nourish strands after coloring.

How natural and dimensional will the finished tone look?

PHYTO’s botanical pigments are engineered to wrap the hair fiber, creating bright reflections and a natural, multi‑faceted chestnut glow. The result aims for an intense base tone with lively shine rather than a flat, single‑note color.

• Light Chestnut Brown (shade 5.7) offers warm medium brown depth.
• Botanical pigments create bright, reflective highlights.
• Leaves hair appearing shiny and dimensional, not matte.
• Use the included mask to enhance surface smoothness and shine.

Who is this for: PHYTO Phytocolor 5.7 Light Chestnut Brown is suited for people seeking permanent, salon‑quality grey coverage at home with a formula that reduces common harsh agents. It's ideal for those who want rich, natural brown tones with luminous reflection and who prefer botanical‑centered ingredients; however, anyone with a history of hair or skin allergies should perform the recommended patch test before use.
