Clairol Natural Instincts Demi-Permanent Hair Color 5C Brass Free Medium Brown — Ammonia-Free Conditioning Shine

Clairol Natural Instincts Demi-Permanent Dye 5C Brass Free Medium Brown gives medium brown color with controlled warmth, glossy shine and gentle, no-commitment fade.

This ammonia-free demi-permanent hair color blends Coconut Oil and Aloe to condition as it deposits rich pigment, softening visible gray and washing out gradually. The 5C Brass Free tone is formulated to neutralize unwanted brassiness while keeping results natural-looking and radiant. Each single-use kit includes color cream, activator, a Brilliant Shine Conditioner, gloves and clear instructions for at-home application.

How does 5C Brass Free Medium Brown prevent brassiness while coloring?

The formula uses a carefully balanced pigment blend to counteract warm orange and yellow undertones that can appear in brown shades. Because it’s a demi-permanent system, pigments sit on and slightly inside the hair cuticle for an even, toned finish without the stronger lifting of permanent dyes.

• Brass-neutralizing pigments tuned for medium brown tones
• Zero ammonia base reduces harsh chemical lift
• Demi-permanent deposit minimizes uneven warm patches
• Includes conditioner to smooth the cuticle and enhance shine

What conditioning benefits will I notice after using this kit?

Natural Instincts is formulated with Coconut Oil and Aloe to help hydrate, detangle and add surface gloss. The included Brilliant Shine Conditioner seals the color and leaves hair feeling softer and more manageable immediately after application.

• Coconut Oil helps replenish moisture for reduced frizz
• Aloe soothes the scalp and smooths hair texture
• Post-color conditioner enhances light-reflecting shine
• Gloves and directions included for a cleaner application experience

How long will the color last and how does it fade?

As a demi-permanent dye, Natural Instincts delivers several weeks of color that gradually washes out rather than growing out with roots. Fading is even and soft, making it ideal for experimenting with a new shade or toning brass without a long-term commitment.

• Lasts for multiple shampoos with gradual, natural fading
• Blurs visible gray instead of fully covering resistant gray hair
• Gentler on hair than permanent color due to no ammonia
• Reapply as desired to maintain depth and tone

Is this shade easy to apply at home and who should choose 5C?

The kit is designed for straightforward home use with step-by-step instructions and all necessary components included. 5C Brass Free Medium Brown is a good choice for natural brunettes seeking to neutralize warmth, anyone wanting a low-commitment tone refresh, or people transitioning between color services.

• Single-use kit includes all tools and instructions
