This exciting range of hair dye colours are free from PPD, henna, alcohol and ammonia. The dyes contain no active bleaching agent and are not tested on animals.
Simply add water, shake and apply. For extra conditioning benefits, re-apply Water Colour monthly.
It's important to note...
As the Water Colour hair dye does not contain an active bleaching agent, it will not lighten your hair. It is ideally suited for covering grey hair or simply going darker.

Please note - the Ash shades: 9/1, 8/1, 7/1, 6/1 and 5/1 - are great for reducing 'brassy' tones in hair; they will help to tone down coppers, reds or golds. They give a more subtle coverage over grey than any of the other shades, so if your hair is quite resistant to hair dye they may not be suitable.
