Madison Reed Radiant Permanent Hair Color Kit — 6.5NNN Medium Brown, Full Gray Coverage & Smart 8‑Free Care

This at-home color kit blends richly pigmented permanent color with nourishing actives so you can refresh your shade or touch up roots without harsh additives. The 6.5NNN Medium Brown shade is part of the Knockout Collection and is formulated with extra pigment to handle stubborn grays. Included in the package are the Radiant Cream Color, Conditioning Color Activator, barrier cream, gloves, cap, and simple instructions — everything needed for a single full-coverage application.

How does this kit deliver maximum gray coverage?

The Radiant formulation in the Knockout Collection contains intensified pigment designed to penetrate and neutralize stubborn gray strands. It’s a permanent dye system so the color bonds into the hair shaft for long-lasting coverage rather than a temporary wash-out solution.

• Extra pigment specifically for hard-to-cover grays
• Permanent chemistry for lasting results
• Includes mixing activator to ensure full color development

What makes the Smart 8-Free formula different from traditional box dye?

Madison Reed’s Smart 8-Free approach removes eight commonly used harsh ingredients, so you avoid ammonia, parabens, PPD, resorcinol, phthalates, gluten, SLS, and titanium dioxide. That reduces exposure to several controversial additives while still delivering salon-quality permanent color performance.

• Free of ammonia and PPD for a milder application experience
• Paraben- and phthalate-free to limit certain preservatives and plasticizers
• Formulated without SLS or titanium dioxide to reduce unnecessary irritants

Will this formula help keep hair feeling healthy after coloring?

The kit is enriched with keratin, argan oil, and ginseng root extract to help maintain moisture, shine, and resilience during and after the coloring process. These ingredients work together to condition the hair cuticle and leave strands softer than many conventional permanent dyes.

• Keratin supports hair strength and reduces brittleness
• Argan oil adds shine and helps seal in moisture
• Ginseng root extract supports scalp and hair appearance

How is the product packaged and what’s included for an at-home application?

Each single-pack kit supplies everything needed for one full application—convenient for first-time users or regular touch-ups. The instruction booklet walks through timing, strand testing, and aftercare to help you achieve consistent results at home.

• Radiant Cream Color and Conditioning Color Activator for mixing
• Gloves, cap, and barrier cream to protect skin and clothes
• Detailed instructions with tips for coverage and timing

Who is this for? The Madison Reed Radiant Hair Color Kit in 6.5NNN Medium Brown is ideal for people seeking reliable, salon-quality permanent color at home, especially those dealing with mostly gray hair or persistent gray roots. It’s suited for users who prefer formulas without common harsh chemicals and who want nourishing ingredients included. For best results, choose shades within two levels of your natural color and follow the enclosed instructions, including a patch test if you’re trying a new color for the first time. Consider subscribing for regular deliveries if you touch up roots every 4–6 weeks to stay consistent between salon visits.
