PHYTO Phytocolor Permanent Hair Color 5 Light Brown — Ammonia-Free, 100% Grey Coverage

PHYTO Phytocolor 5 Light Brown is a permanent, ammonia‑free hair dye that delivers rich, natural color and full grey coverage using high‑concentration botanical pigments.

Designed by PHYTO in France, this at‑home permanent color kit blends plant‑derived pigments and nourishing oils to give hair vivid shine while aiming to be gentle on the scalp. The kit includes a milk developer bottle, coloring cream, a color‑protecting mask, gloves and instructions—everything needed for a single full application that processes in about 30 minutes. The formula avoids harsh additives like ammonia, PPD and resorcinol and is enriched with ingredients such as monoi and jojoba for added softness and sheen.

How does Phytocolor protect hair while coloring?

The formula pairs concentrated botanical pigments with conditioning oils to deposit color and support hair surface comfort. Conditioning agents help the hair look glossy and feel smoother after rinsing, while the included mask adds an extra layer of protection post‑color.

• Botanical pigments from five plant sources for nuanced tones
• Monoi and jojoba oils to enhance shine and softness
• Post‑color mask to seal and protect color molecules
• No ammonia, PPD or resorcinol to reduce exposure to strong chemicals

Will PHYTO Phytocolor cover my grey hair?

Yes—this shade is formulated to cover grey fully from the first application. The permanent dye system anchors pigment into the hair shaft to achieve uniform coverage across grey and natural hair alike.

• Created for 100% grey coverage on first use
• Permanent coloring system for long‑lasting results
• Consistent tone development within the recommended processing time

How long does the coloring process take and what’s included?

The standard application takes roughly 30 minutes from mix to rinse when following the instructions. The kit supplies one developer bottle, a coloring cream, a color‑protecting mask, gloves and a leaflet with step‑by‑step guidance so you can perform the service at home.

• All‑in‑one kit: developer, coloring cream, mask and gloves
• Simple mixing and application instructions included
• Develop time around 30 minutes for professional‑style results

Is a skin sensitivity test necessary and how safe is the formula?

PHYTO recommends performing a skin sensitivity test 48 hours before use to identify potential reactions—this is standard for permanent dyes. The formulation removes several common harsh chemicals, but anyone with a history of allergies should follow the test and manufacturer guidance closely.

• Skin sensitivity patch test advised 48 hours before application
• Free from ammonia, PPD and resorcinol to limit exposure to certain irritants
• Made in France under PHYTO’s botanical haircare standards

Who is this for: PHYTO Phytocolor 5 Light Brown suits someone seeking a permanent, salon‑quality brown shade with full grey coverage and a botanical approach. It’s a good fit for users who want intense color and shine while avoiding ammonia and specific strong dye chemicals, and who are comfortable following a standard at‑home application and performing a pre‑use skin test.
