Naturtint Permanent Hair Colour

Wow. I have never left a review on a hair dye (or pretty much anything, unless it's really good). This was the most horrific experience I've ever had dying my hair and I've done it for 20 years (yes, including mid 2000s terrible box dyes!).

First of all - the Naturtint Bionased’s consistency was far from a gel. It was basically as runny as water, but super oily. As I applied it to my roots, it started running down my face and neck pretty much instantly. And oh my god did it stain! The stains were EVERYWHERE. My whole face is blue black (which isn't even supposed to be the formula for an ebony black shade!), so is my neck and of course my hairline. I also had a few dry spots near my scalp and those are jet black dots now. It also dripped on my hands and arms. And I had to stay over my sink for the whole waiting time because of the constant dripping. It also really wanted to run into my eyes. I was terrified. I didn't even wait the whole suggested time as it was so bad.

I never got the stains out with literally anything. As dye is usually the most effective thing to remove dye, I tried that first and that only made it worse as the dye stained instantly. I also tried a pretty strong cleanser, wipes, alcohol, of course soap, clarifying and regular shampoo, exfoliator, scrubbing it hard... NOTHING WORKED.

And as I was washing it out, firstly my hair was so freaking oily it was disgusting, but then it became crunchy and very damaged-feeling. My scalp was stinging like it had been bleached. I shampooed it 3 times, which is not something I would normally do. And as I was really scared for the health of my hair, I also did a bonding treatment and deep conditioner right after. Scrubbing the stains in the shower had absolutely no effect.

I lost so much hair during the whole process!! This is absolutely horrible.

I am furious and depressed at the same time as I have been working SO hard to get my hair to a healthier state and I was just looking for a more natural dye than I was previously using. And THIS is what happened. I would want to freaking sue this company. It's either a really bad batch of this product (and horrible quality control in this case) or it is actually this bad, in case it should not be sold to anyone!

My hair is already super thin and fine and on the drier side because it's wavy.

How can you claim this dye is natural in any way if this is the result? The permanent staining is a prime example of it not being natural. AT ALL.

I hope someone reads this review before trying it. At least try it somewhere other than your scalp first to see if it acts similarly.

Everything was fine with the application but after my wet hair was in a towel a large clump fell out from my left side hairline. I have been regrowing it slowly for 2 years now! Use Herbatint instead. It is natural and usable for two applications.

This is the second time of using this product and both times I had a severe eye reaction - I think probably to the conditioner. After washing out the dye and applying the conditioner and then washing that out and drying my hair, I put my reading glasses on my head as I usually do. When I put them on for reading, I had severe irritation in my eyes, causing them to water and swell up for a period of more than 24 hours, in the first instance it lasted days. I used the product for a second time because I was not 100% sure the first time that it was the product that caused the reaction. I do not have allergies and I have never had a reaction like this before to any hair product (I dye my hair 5 or 6 times/year).

I certainly would never buy naturtint products again.

The first time I liked it, but the more I used it the more my hair felt like straw when trying to shampoo - I have to use a LOT of conditioner to soften it up. Then it is falling out like crazy. I'm stopping use of it.

This is my first time using this product 1N Ebony Black. My hair is wavy,curly and I have sensitive scalp. Was looking for a hair color that would color & cover gray without sacrificing my hair and scalp. I tried it last night 11/20/2016 and it is great. The shampoo and conditioner for my hair was sucks however if you have your own color shampoo and conditioner then this works well. The company must improve the shampoo and conditioner in the box. Gloves are not good. Overall okay needs more to improve for African American wavy, curly hair. Need fresh fragrance.

Terrible and totally a disaster. Batch 563 -exp 11/18

I am a medium blond. Not happy at all.

This is the best hair colour/dye I have used. I have sensitive scalp and skin due to ezcema so I have had irritation from other colourants. I have died my hair in salons and at home for years and nothing (ive tried a lot!) Has been as great as this. My feels soft and shiny the colour is great, really natural, covers grey, it also wipes off skin and bathroom surfaces easily! It doesn't have the strong smell, you can use as little or as much as you want so if your just doing your roots a pack can last 2 applications. Its reasonably priced and ive been getting a sachet of shampoo and conditioner in there too - which is also lovely. The gloves are not very good but I don't use them as all hair dye gives the same type of gloves! I would definatly recommend anyone to try this it is great stuff.

I bought this dye box dark brown from the health shop in west bromwich and used it on my hair on the night without doing a allergy test first silly me it cost me my hair all broke off and fell out within few days and had to cut it also ended up with a rash all over my face but has calmed down since the dye has been washed out with a good strong shampoo but its still there in my hair with a tingerling feeling on the hair. I would advice anyone not to use it it has PPD in it may have caused the reaction of the allergy. Been to the doctor and she said to leave chemicals alone from using on my hair if i want to keep my hair and cut it short for now its damaged. I always thought i would pay 10.50 for the box in health shop because it was meant to be gentle my god this is not true at all be careful to all of them out there who want to use it.

Hair dyeing is new to me and I had a lot of relevant questions but the advisor who answered the phone was nasty and rude and hang up on me. I heard the product is good but she herself recommends not to use the product.

I need to talk to HR or her manager.

I paid almost $16.00 for Naturtint at health food store. I used 4N Natural Chestnut. I have a lot of stubborn white hair in my dark brown long (22 inches)hair. The box said it would be long lasting color with long lasting grey coverage. I had to leave it on 30 to 40 minutes for grey coverage according to the diresctions. I was alarmed at how dark the color was. I rinsed it out and my hair was black! It was stiff and tangled. I could hardly get the tangles out. My hair was DULL and artificial looking. I saw a hair stylist and she said my hair felt like it had residue on it. She advised using a clarifying shampoo. I did and my hair is brown again but still feels and looks awful. I had 6 inches cut off. My hair was naturally wavy and now it is wild. The frizz brings my hair up above my shoulders and I can't do a thing with it. I am embarrassed to go out. It is too short to wear in a bun or ponytail. I went on Phergal's website and found it was all in Spanish, being manufactured in Spain.

Having read other reviews, I realized there must be an American company, although they are rude, that I can contact and they have a Help Line. On Monday I will call and see what can be done to help my ruined hair. Please DO NOT PUT THIS ON YOUR HAIR! Karen Camp
