Herbatint Permanent Hair Color 5C Light Ash Chestnut — 5.75 fl oz, Ammonia-Free, Up to 100% Gray Coverage

Herbatint 5C Light Ash Chestnut is a permanent, ammonia-free hair color that covers up to 100% resistant gray while neutralizing warm copper and red tones.

With over five decades of color expertise, Herbatint combines a gentle, salon-influenced formula with organic herbal extracts to deliver long-lasting shade, nourishment, and a natural-looking finish. The 5C (Light Ash Chestnut) shade is designed to cool unwanted warm highlights and can slightly lift natural pigment up to two levels while providing even gray coverage in a single 40-minute application. This bottle size (5.75 fl oz) is intended to cover medium-to-long hair lengths and allows reclosure for future touch-ups.

How does 5C Light Ash Chestnut neutralize brassiness?

The ash (C) tone includes cool pigments that counteract orange and red undertones often seen after coloring or on naturally warm hair. When combined with a corresponding Natural (N) shade, you can fine-tune the level of ash for subtler or stronger neutralization.

• Cool ash pigments reduce coppery and reddish reflections.
• Mix with N-series for customized neutrality.
• Designed for delicate toning without adding harsh chemical odor.
