Finding Your Shade

Start by selecting the N number which is closest to your natural colour – use this as your base number.

With Naturtint® you can lighten by up to 2 shades or go as dark as you desire (e.g. if you are naturally a 5 you can lighten to a 7 or go as dark as a 1).

Then decide if you wish to stick with your natural tones, or add a different tone to your hair.

NATURAL (N) shades are perfect if you wish to keep your natural tone.

ASH (A) shades will add a cool tone to your hair and are ideal for counteracting ‘brassiness’.

COPPER (C) & GOLDEN (G) shades will add warmth to your hair whilst the MAHOGANY (M) & RED (R) shades will add vibrancy – ideal for those looking for a more striking or fashion led look. The latest ‘Deep’ and ‘Radiant’ shades use some new letters in their colour codes – the V in 3NV Deep Radiant Red denotes the splash of violet in the shade and the W used in the Radiant range of shades tells you they are ‘Warm’ tones. The B in the 5WB Radiant Copper Brown demonstrates there is added bronze in the shade.

COVERING GREY: Grey hair is hair that has lost its natural pigment and can soak up hair dyes more readily – meaning brighter shades can sometimes look unnatural. If you have a lot of grey and would like to use a brighter tone such as a Copper (C) or Mahogany (M) shade, we would recommend mixing it with a similar number Natural (N) tone, e.g. 5M + 5N or 7C + 7N.

NATURAL (N) shades are the best for covering grey hair because they provide a uniform colour and a more natural looking result.
