Madison Reed Radiant Hair Color Kit — 6NAC Verona Medium Chocolate Brown with Copper-Auburn, Permanent Smart 8‑Free

Madison Reed Radiant Hair Color Kit in 6NAC (Verona) is a permanent, salon-quality medium chocolate brown with copper-auburn undertones that delivers 100% gray coverage without ammonia or PPD.

This at-home color kit recreates the same formula used in Madison Reed Hair Color Bars, packaged for easy application. The Smart 8-Free formula avoids harsh additives while infusing hair with keratin, argan oil, and ginseng root extract to help maintain softness and shine. The kit is designed for versatile coverage—roots, full-head color, or touch-ups—and includes everything needed for a single application, plus clear instructions to guide you through each step.

How natural will the 6NAC Verona shade look on my hair?

The 6NAC Verona tone is a medium chocolate brown balanced by warm copper-auburn highlights for dimensional depth. It’s formulated to blend gray seamlessly and create a multi-dimensional finish rather than a flat, single-tone result.

• Medium brown base with warm copper-auburn undertones for natural depth
• Designed to mimic salon gloss and light reflection
• Best when within two shades of your natural color for predictable results

Will this cover my grays completely and last through washes?

Yes—this permanent formula is formulated for full, uniform gray coverage that remains until new hair growth appears. The pigment and developer work together to penetrate the hair shaft for long-lasting color, with results comparable to in-salon permanent color.

• 100% gray coverage for a consistent, even finish
• Pigments that penetrate hair for lasting color until regrowth
• Maintenance typically every 4–6 weeks depending on growth and desired look

What makes the Smart 8‑Free formula different from other box dyes?

Madison Reed’s Smart 8‑Free approach excludes ammonia, PPD, parabens, phthalates, gluten, SLS, resorcinol, and titanium dioxide, reducing exposure to several common harsh chemicals found in traditional dyes. Instead, the formula is enriched with conditioning and strengthening ingredients to minimize dryness and help hair feel conditioned after coloring.

• Free of eight common harsh additives for a gentler coloring experience
• Contains keratin to support hair structure and argan oil for smoothness
• Ginseng extract helps leave hair looking vibrant and more manageable

What comes in the kit and how easy is the application?

The single-pack kit includes Radiant Cream Color, Conditioning Color Activator, gloves, a mixing cap, barrier cream, and a detailed instruction booklet to simplify the process. The step-by-step guidance is written for at-home use, and the formula mirrors professional salon chemistry to help you achieve predictable results.

• All-in-one kit with color tubes, developer, gloves, cap, and instructions
• Dermatologist-tested and Leaping Bunny certified; cruelty-free
• Subscription option available for scheduled refills and savings

Who is this for? This Madison Reed 6NAC Verona kit is ideal for anyone seeking a salon-quality, permanent medium brown shade with warm copper-auburn dimension and full gray coverage—especially those who prefer formulas without ammonia or PPD. It’s best for users who want conditioned-feeling hair after coloring and who are within about two shades of this medium level for the most reliable result. If you frequently touch up roots or want a convenient all-over refresh that mirrors salon results, this kit is suited to at-home use while offering professional-grade pigments and nourishing ingredients.

Usage note: for best, safest outcome, follow the included instructions and perform a patch test before full application. Results may vary based on starting hair color, porosity, and prior treatments.
