PHYTO Phytocolor Permanent Hair Color — 5.7 Light Chestnut Brown, 100% Grey Coverage, Ammonia-Free Botanical Pigments

PHYTO Phytocolor 5.7 Light Chestnut Brown is a permanent, ammonia-, PPD- and resorcin-free hair dye that delivers 100% grey coverage with botanical pigments for natural-looking, luminous color.

PHYTO has paired salon-grade tinting power with plant-derived pigments to create a permanent hair color that prioritizes shine and scalp respect. The kit includes developer, coloring cream, a color-protecting mask, gloves and instructions, formulated to produce a true-to-shade 5.7 Light Chestnut Brown while minimizing harsh chemical exposure. Designed for at-home use and made in France, the formula aims for even, long-lasting coverage with radiant reflections.

How quickly will PHYTO Phytocolor cover greys and show the final shade?

Expect full grey coverage from the first application and a predictable chestnut tone after the processing time. Most users will see the finished color and shine after the recommended 30 minutes and a thorough rinse, with results stabilizing after the first wash.

• 100% grey coverage from one application when used as directed.
• Processing time: up to 30 minutes for permanent development.
• Final tone appears after rinsing and initial shampooing.
• Color depth may vary slightly by natural base and previous treatments.

What makes the botanical pigments different from conventional dyes?

PHYTO Phytocolor uses concentrated pigments derived from plants that envelop the hair fiber to build dimension and boost shine. Unlike purely synthetic dyes, these pigments are formulated to work with the permanent developer to deliver durable color while prioritizing fiber gloss and a softer finish.

• Botanical pigments from five dye plants create layered reflections.
• Designed to wrap the hair shaft for enhanced luminosity.
• Combined with a gentle developer for effective, lasting tinting.
• Supports natural-looking multi-tonal results instead of flat coverage.

Is this formula safer or gentler than traditional permanent colors?

The Phytocolor formula is free of ammonia, para-phenylenediamine (PPD) and resorcinol, reducing harsh odor and known irritants commonly found in permanent dyes. While this lowers exposure to certain chemicals, sensitivity varies—always perform the included skin test 48 hours before use if you have a history of reactions.

• Ammonia-free for less pungent application and gentler scalp contact.
• PPD- and resorcinol-free to reduce exposure to common sensitizers.
• Includes a color-protecting mask to nourish hair post-color.
• Skin sensitivity test recommended 48 hours before coloring.

How should I apply PHYTO Phytocolor at home for best results?

Follow the enclosed instruction leaflet to mix developer and coloring cream, apply evenly, and use the protective mask after rinsing. Work methodically through sections for uniform coverage and wear the provided gloves to avoid staining.

• Mix the Milk developer and Coloring Cream per instructions.
• Apply to dry, unwashed hair for even absorption and coverage.
• Leave on up to 30 minutes, then rinse and condition with the mask.
• Use the mask included to help seal color and boost shine.

Who is this for: PHYTO Phytocolor 5.7 Light Chestnut Brown suits anyone seeking dependable permanent grey coverage with a natural chestnut result and added shine, especially those who prefer formulas without ammonia, PPD or resorcinol. It’s a good fit for at-home colorists who want salon-quality vibrancy with botanical-derived pigments and for users who prioritize scalp respect and a less aggressive scent profile. Those with a history of dye allergies should perform the 48-hour sensitivity test before use.
