Clairol Textures & Tones Permanent Hair Dye

Clairol Textures & Tones 5G Caramel Brown is a permanent, ammonia-free hair color formulated with argan and olive oils to deliver rich caramel brown color while helping preserve moisture and curl definition.

Designed specifically for textured hair — whether natural or relaxed — this single-pack permanent dye combines a gentle, moisture-supporting base with a shade inspired by toasted caramel. The formula avoids ammonia and includes an intensive moisturizing mask to detangle and soften strands after color application. The result aims to offer vivid, multi-dimensional color with added slip and shine, helping protect curl pattern and manageability during at-home coloring.

How does this color preserve curl shape and texture?

The formula emphasizes hydration and reduced harshness to help textured hair retain its natural pattern. Oils and a conditioning mask work together to minimize drying and maintain strand elasticity, which supports curl definition after coloring.

• Zero-ammonia base reduces potential stripping of natural oils.
• Argan and olive oil blend adds surface shine and softness.
• Included Intensive Moisturizing Mask helps detangle and smooth cuticles post-color.
• Formulation developed with textured-hair specialists for targeted care.

What results should I expect from shade 5G Caramel Brown?

Shade 5G Caramel Brown yields a warm, medium-dark brown with golden-caramel highlights that enhance dimension in coils, waves, and relaxed textures. The finished color displays warm depth with subtle toasted highlights rather than a flat single tone.

• Warm brown base with caramel undertones for visual warmth.
• Multi-dimensional finish that reflects light for added depth.
• Designed to complement a range of textured hair colors and tones.
• Best results when applied according to package directions and on pre-assessed hair levels.

Is this product gentle and how do I use the included mask?

The dye avoids ammonia and contains conditioning oils, making it gentler than many permanent dyes; however, permanent color still alters hair structure. Use the Intensive Moisturizing Mask after rinsing color to restore softness and aid detangling — apply from mid-lengths to ends, leave per instructions, then rinse thoroughly.

• Follow all package directions and perform a patch/strand test first.
• Rinse color until water runs clear, then apply the mask where hair needs moisture.
• Leave the mask on the time listed in the instructions for maximum softness.
• Use sulfate-free maintenance products to prolong color and hydration.

How long does the color last and what maintenance does it need?

As a permanent dye, the shade is intended to provide lasting color, though natural fading will occur over time with washing and sun exposure. Preserving tone and shine requires a moisture-focused routine and limited exposure to high-heat styling.

• Use color-safe, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to reduce fade.
• Limit washing frequency and use cool-to-lukewarm water to preserve pigment.
• Deep-condition regularly or use the brand’s recommended conditioning treatments.
• Protect hair from prolonged sun and heat to maintain vibrancy and shine.

Who is this for: Clairol Textures & Tones 5G Caramel Brown is tailored to people with textured hair — from tight coils to loose waves and relaxed styles — who want a warm, dimensional brown without ammonia and with added hydration. It suits anyone seeking permanent color that prioritizes moisture and manageability, provided they follow the included safety checks and care steps. Ideal for at-home coloring when you want glossy, caramel-infused brown tones while supporting curl definition and softness.
