How It Works
Three easy steps. No mixing, no waiting, no salon visit. Just beautiful, refreshed colour every wash.
Wet your hair thoroughly, then apply the colouring shampoo generously from roots to ends — just like your regular shampoo.
Lather well and leave on for 3–5 minutes. The longer you leave it, the richer the colour deposit. Use regularly for deeper, longer-lasting results.
Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Follow with your regular conditioner for extra softness. Enjoy refreshed, vibrant colour — instantly.
Find Your Perfect Shade
From the deepest Natural Black to a warm, natural Brown — our colouring shampoos are developed to complement and enhance your existing hair colour. Each shade is carefully calibrated to look natural, not flat, on a range of base colours.
All shades work beautifully on dark to medium hair tones, and are especially effective for covering stubborn greys without the harsh chemicals of permanent dye.

Colour Without Compromise
Unlike permanent hair dye, our colouring shampoo contains no ammonia and no peroxide. It deposits colour onto the hair surface without opening the cuticle, so there is zero structural damage.
Apply it, lather, leave for 3–5 minutes, and rinse. That’s it. No mixing bowls, no developer, no gloves, no waiting 30–45 minutes. Colour that fits into your morning shower routine.
Each use builds colour gradually — so it never looks flat or unnatural. The result is a subtle, multi-dimensional colour that grows richer with every wash, just like your natural hair.
Stubborn greys reappear within weeks of permanent dyeing. Colouring shampoo keeps them covered continuously — use it every wash or every few days to maintain seamless, consistent coverage.
The formula cleans and conditions at the same time it deposits colour. Hair feels soft, smooth, and nourished — not stripped or brittle like it can after conventional colouring treatments.
At just $25.99 for a twin pack, you get multiple applications for far less than the cost of a single salon visit. The perfect in-between-colour-appointment maintenance solution.

“Finally found a hair colour that doesn’t damage my hair! The Natural Black is incredible — natural looking results every time. I use it twice a week and my greys are completely gone.”
“I was so sceptical but this honestly works. I use the Chestnut Brown and it keeps my colour looking fresh between salon visits. No damage, no fuss. I’m never going back to box dye.”
“At 58 I have a lot of greys and this shampoo is a lifesaver. The Mahogany Brown gives me such a rich, warm colour — my hairdresser even commented on how healthy my hair looks!”
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a colouring shampoo and how is it different from regular shampoo?
A colouring shampoo works exactly like a regular shampoo — it cleans your hair — but it also deposits colour pigment onto the hair shaft at the same time. Unlike permanent hair dye, it does not contain ammonia or peroxide, so it doesn’t open the hair cuticle or cause structural damage. The result is natural-looking colour that builds gradually with each use.
How long does the colour last?
Each application lasts approximately 4–6 washes, depending on how often you shampoo and your hair type. The more consistently you use it, the richer and more persistent the colour becomes over time. For continuous grey coverage, we recommend using it every 2–3 washes.
Will it damage my hair or scalp?
No. Because the formula contains no ammonia and no peroxide, there is no chemical process that opens the hair cuticle or strips the hair’s natural proteins. The pigment simply coats the outside of the hair shaft and washes out gradually. It is safe for regular use on all hair types, including colour-treated and chemically processed hair.
Which shade should I choose?
Choose the shade closest to your natural or current hair colour. If you’re covering greys, go one shade darker than your natural colour for a richer result. Natural Black (Shade 1) is the deepest — ideal for naturally black hair. Dark Brown (3) suits dark brown hair. Mahogany Brown (4) and Chestnut Brown (4.5) work beautifully for medium to warm brown tones. Brown (5) is the lightest shade, ideal for medium brown hair.
Can I use it on colour-treated or chemically processed hair?
Yes, absolutely. Because the formula is free of harsh chemicals, it is completely safe for colour-treated, bleached, permed, or relaxed hair. In fact, it is ideal as a maintenance shampoo between salon colour appointments, as it refreshes your existing colour without causing any additional chemical stress to the hair.
How do I get the best results?
For best results: apply to wet hair and leave on for at least 5 minutes before rinsing. Use on every wash for the first two weeks to build up colour intensity, then maintain with every second or third wash. Follow with conditioner for extra softness. Avoid clarifying shampoos immediately before use as they may strip colour buildup.
