Naturtint USA offers only Permanent Hair Color.
If you’ve used other types of color in the past, it’s important to understand how they may interact with permanent hair color to avoid uneven or unexpected results.
✅ Permanent Hair Color
Permanent color works by lifting the hair cuticle to deposit long-lasting color pigments deep into the hair shaft. This chemical process is essential for durable, even color and gray coverage.
Naturtint’s formula is USDA Certified Biobased and made with a high level of naturally derived ingredients, but still contains the necessary components for permanent color results.

⚠️ All permanent hair colors contain known skin sensitizers. Always perform a sensitivity test 48 hours before coloring. [Learn more about Naturtint safety advice.]
❗Important: Residual coatings from henna, semi-permanent, or demi-permanent colors can interfere with how permanent color absorbs—leading to uneven or patchy results. It’s best to wait until those products have washed out or grown out before applying permanent color.
Other Types of Hair Color
(Not offered by Naturtint USA but may affect your results)
Demi-Permanent
A low-volume developer with no ammonia, it slightly lifts the cuticle. It may blend grays in porous or fine hair but not fully cover them.
-
Fades in: 4–6 weeks
-
May leave a light coating that can affect permanent color uptake
Semi-Permanent
Deposits color on the surface without lifting the cuticle. Good for temporary refreshes or tonal changes.
-
Fades in: 1–2 weeks
-
Residual buildup may block permanent color
Henna
A natural dye made from the Lawsonia inermis plant. It stains the hair and bonds with its proteins, creating a plant-based protective layer. Henna is a time-honored natural coloring method, but because it seals the cuticle, it can make it difficult for the permanent color to absorb properly if any residue remains.
-
Processing time: 3–7 hours
-
Best to let it fully grow or fade out before switching to a permanent color
