COLORCHARM Permanent Cream Hair Color 3N Dark Brown, 2 oz BondGuard & 5 Nourishing Lipids

COLORCHARM Permanent Cream Hair Color 3N Dark Brown is a professional-strength permanent cream dye with BondGuard and five nourishing lipids to color, condition, and help reduce breakage.

This updated WELLA COLORCHARM cream formula blends reliable permanent coverage with ingredients designed to moisturize and support hair strength. The 3N Dark Brown shade provides rich, neutral brown pigment that covers up to 100% gray while leaving hair glossy and conditioned. The recipe replaces the older gel base with a creamy texture that spreads evenly, works well for at-home and professional use, and pairs with developer per package directions.

How does this color protect hair during processing?

COLORCHARM 3N uses BondGuard technology to help protect the hair's internal structure while the color develops, aiming to mitigate damage from chemical processing. Combined with a lipid-rich formula, it helps hair feel smoother and look shinier after rinsing.

• BondGuard technology helps support disulfide bonds during coloring.
• Five nourishing lipids deliver moisture to reduce dryness and roughness.
• Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil, and Acai Berry Extract add conditioning and shine.
• Leave-in conditioning effect leaves hair easier to detangle post-color.

Will 3N Dark Brown cover gray hair completely?

Yes — this permanent cream formulation is engineered to deliver up to 100% gray coverage when used as directed with the proper developer strength. Results depend on your starting hair condition, gray percentage, and application technique.

• Designed for permanent coverage on resistant grays.
• Mix with manufacturer-recommended developer for full deposit.
• Processing times vary by natural hair level and texture.
• For best results, strand test before full application.

What makes the cream formula different from the previous gel?

The updated cream base improves spreadability, reduces product drift, and offers more even color saturation from roots to ends. The cream texture also locks in the conditioning ingredients so they remain in close contact with the hair during processing.

• Smoother application with less dripping than gel or liquid formulas.
• Enhanced ingredient delivery for consistent results and shine.
• Better control for precise root touch-ups and full-head color work.
• Compact 2 oz size fits salon kits or at-home routine needs.

How should I use and maintain the color for lasting results?

Follow package mixing instructions and use the correct developer volume for your targeted lift and deposit. After rinsing, use sulfate-free shampoos and color-safe conditioners to protect the shade and extend vibrancy.

• Mix cream with recommended developer ratio and apply evenly.
• Rinse thoroughly and use a color-preserving conditioner.
• Limit heat styling and use heat protectant sprays to maintain shine.
• Use occasional color-depositing or moisturizing treatments to refresh tone.
