Madison Reed Radiant Hair Color Kit — 5.5NNN Modena Brown (Dark Warm Brown), 100% Gray Coverage, PPD‑Free

Madison Reed Radiant Hair Color Kit in 5.5NNN (Modena Brown) is a salon‑quality permanent dye formulated to deliver 100% coverage on resistant grays while nourishing hair with keratin, argan oil, and ginseng extract.

If you want a deep, warm dark brown with golden undertones that hides persistent gray roots and refreshes all‑over color without harsh chemicals, this one‑pack kit is engineered to give reliable, long‑lasting results at home. The formula is Madison Reed’s Smart 8‑Free permanent system — free of ammonia, parabens, phenylenediamine (PPD), phthalates, gluten, SLS, resorcinol, and titanium dioxide — and includes everything you need for application: color cream, activator, gloves, cap, barrier cream, and instructions.

How does this shade perform on stubborn gray roots?

5.5NNN Modena Brown is part of the Knockout Collection, formulated with boosted pigment specifically to target resistant grays. It’s designed to saturate coarse or wiry gray strands while blending seamlessly with surrounding color for natural coverage.

• Extra pigment concentration to penetrate stubborn gray fibers.
• Works for both root touch‑ups and full head applications.
• Gives an even, uniform result when used within two shades of your natural color.

What makes this formula gentler than traditional box dyes?

Madison Reed labels this as a Smart 8‑Free permanent color, meaning it omits eight commonly used harsh ingredients found in many at‑home dyes. The absence of ammonia and PPD helps reduce the strong odor and potential irritation associated with traditional permanent color formulas.

• Free of ammonia, parabens, PPD, phthalates, gluten, SLS, resorcinol, and titanium dioxide.
• Dermatologist tested and Leaping Bunny certified for cruelty‑free assurance.
• Formulated to balance color performance with gentler chemistry and conditioning agents.

Will this kit keep hair feeling healthy and shiny?

The color is enriched with conditioning ingredients—keratin to strengthen the hair shaft, argan oil to add shine and softness, and ginseng root extract to help maintain hair resilience. These components work together to reduce the dry, brittle feel often left by conventional permanent dyes.

• Keratin helps support hair structure and manageability.
• Argan oil imparts gloss and reduces frizz for a smoother finish.
• Ginseng root extract contributes to overall hair vitality and polish.

How should I use this kit for best results?

For predictable outcomes, choose a shade within two levels of your natural color and follow the included instructions carefully. The kit contains step‑by‑step directions plus tools you need for safe application, and most users find recoloring every 4–6 weeks maintains root coverage and vibrancy.

• Perform a patch test per instructions before full application.
• Use the barrier cream and gloves to protect skin and hands during application.
• Follow timing guidelines to balance maximum gray coverage with hair condition.

Who this is for: This kit is aimed at people with mostly gray or hard‑to‑cover gray hair who want a warm, dark brown finish (Modena Brown) and prefer a permanent color that avoids common harsh additives. It’s also great for anyone seeking salon‑grade performance at home with added conditioning benefits—best for users staying within two shades of their natural base for optimal color accuracy.
